FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What’s Included in an MOT and Service in Edinburgh?

An MOT and service combine various checks and maintenance tasks to ensure vehicle safety and performance. What is included in your service depends on whether you choose an interim, full or major service.

Below is a general outline of what you will receive during an MOT and Service in Edinburgh booked through BookMyGarage:

Interim Service: Oil change and fluid, brake pad, lights, tyres and exhaust checks, among others.

Full Service: Everything included in an interim service plus air filter change, suspension, brake system and drive belt checks, among others.

Major Service: Everything included in a full service with added replacements, clutch and air conditioning system checks, and fuel/pollen filter change.

MOT Test: Mandatory assessment of safety and emissions components, including body condition, lights, brakes, tyres, and emissions. Specifics vary based on vehicle age, mileage, and manufacturer recommendations.

Why is an MOT and Service Necessary?

Here are just 5 reasons why booking an MOT and service is essential:

1. Ensuring vehicle safety, performance, and compliance.
2. Regular maintenance addresses wear and tear, preventing major issues.
3. MOT tests verify roadworthiness and emissions compliance, maintaining overall safety.
4. Different service levels target specific components, optimising longevity and reliability.
5. Compliance with manufacturer recommendations and legal requirements upholds vehicle value and driver security.

Is it Cheaper to Book an MOT and Service at the Same Time?

Many garages in Edinburgh offer a discount on their MOT price when you book a car service at the same time.

That means booking an MOT and service together can make it much cheaper to keep your vehicle in good condition - so long as you choose a garage that offers a great deal.

How Long Does an MOT and Service Take?

The duration of an MOT and service varies depending on which service you book, and any individual vehicle needs.

Generally, an MOT takes between 45 and 60 minutes, an interim service around 1 hour, a full service between 2-3 hours, and a major service 3-4 hours.

Your MOT and service will take longer if your vehicle needs any repairs, or the garages is quite busy and can’t begin the work right away.

Are There Any Recommended MOT and Service Centres in Edinburgh?

If you’re looking for a highly rated MOT and service centre near you, you can filter results on our comparison site by ‘Reviews’. This will show you the top-rated garages in your area, as recommended by previous BookMyGarage customers.

All our reviews are unfiltered and verified, so you’re always seeing a fair picture of other drivers’ experiences with each garage.

Where Can I Find a Reliable MOT in Edinburgh?

There are several ways we help you find a reliable MOT centre in Edinburgh. You can either compare garages to find the most highly recommended (as defined by verified customer reviews) or by our most relevant garages. These are the ones we recommend based on their review score, pricing and general reliability from working with us.

Most importantly, we only work with garages that hold themselves to the same high standards that we do and remove those that let customers down or fail to honour prices. That means when you book through BookMyGarage, you get the most reliable MOT and service in Edinburgh.

Can I Get an MOT and Service on Weekends in Edinburgh?

Yes, many garages are open on Saturdays. This offers drivers more flexibility around their MOT and service.

While some garages do also open on Sunday, these are few and far between. It should also be noted that most garages are open for fewer hours on a Saturday than during the week.

When you compare garages through BookMyGarage, you can see their opening hours in the About tab of their results listing. We also recommend contacting them to ensure they can complete MOTs on the weekend as some may not be able to.

What Are the Busiest Months for MOT and Service Bookings in Edinburgh?

Traditionally, the busiest months for MOT bookings are in March & September, with August through to January also increasingly busy due to the MOT extension in 2020.

While servicing bookings are fairly regular throughout the year, the same months may see an increased demand as more drivers book their MOT and service at the same time.
