FAQs

Frequently asked questions

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

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 Leicester 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 Leicester 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 Leicester?

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 Near Leicester?

There are several ways we help you find a reliable MOT centre in Leicester. 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 Leicester.

Can I Get an MOT Without a Service?

Yes, you can book an MOT without a service and vice versa.

We recommend booking your MOT & service at the same time for your convenience and peace of mind. Joining them into one appointment makes your life easier and means you don't have to remember to book the other later on.

How Often Should I Get My Car Serviced in Leicester?

You should always follow the service intervals specified in your vehicle handbook. Most manufacturers recommend booking a full service every 12 months or 12,000 miles - whichever comes first. They may also recommend booking interim and major services, as well as oil and filter changes, at other intervals.

The frequency of servicing depends on two factors:
● Your driving style
● Your yearly mileage

If you are an aggressive driver or you travel more than 25,000 miles a year, you may wish to service your car more often. Similarly, if your car sits around for long periods of time, you may wish to service it more often to protect it against the negative effects of disuse.

We recommend servicing your car at the following intervals:
● Interim Service every 6 months or 6,000 miles (if you have a high yearly mileage)
● Full Service every 12 months or 12,000 miles
● Major Service every 24 months or 24,000 miles

In Leicester, Can I Get My Car Serviced and MOT Tested at the Same Location?

Yes, many garages in Leicester offer MOT testing and servicing together as it’s often more convenient for drivers to book the two at the same time.

If you’re looking for a joint MOT and service deal near you, enter your reg and postcode into our comparison site and select ‘MOT’ and the car service you want. This will show you the combined price at garages in your area, allowing you to choose the best deal and book in just a few steps.
