FAQs

Frequently asked questions

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

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