Booking your MOT and service at the same time is a convenient way of simplifying your approach to car maintenance.

You will be less likely to forget about either service if you book them together, and you can save yourself from making two separate trips to the garage.

Best of all, booking an MOT and service together can actually be more cost-effective...

 

The Benefits of Booking an MOT and Service Together

Booking these vital maintenance services together can:

  • Be more cost-effective
  • Reduce the risk of vehicle breakdowns
  • Maintain your car's service history
  • Help you retain your car's value
  • Give you the peace of mind you deserve

 

When you book a same-day MOT and service appointment, you’ll only need to make one trip to the garage – so you don’t have to give up more time than necessary.

If you need a service but your MOT is not yet due, it’s worth remembering that you can book an MOT test up to one month before the due date without losing your existing MOT expiry date. 

Stay on top of essential car maintenance and never fall behind when you book your MOT and service together.

Your vehicle can be tested against both the DVSA’s guidelines and the car manufacturer’s guidelines.

You can really enhance the safety and efficiency of your vehicle by booking these services together.

 

Booking Both an MOT and Service Can Help Retain Your Car's Value

This can come in handy if you ever hope to sell your vehicle in the future for a good price.

Frequently asked questions

An MOT typically takes around 45 minutes to upwards of an hour, whilst a full service can take between 2 and 3 hours. When booked together, you should plan for around 4 to 6 hours to complete both.
