We would like to clarify that the price was not changed arbitrarily. The service initially booked was for a different type of air conditioning system than the one fitted to your vehicle. When our technician inspected your car at the garage, they explained that your vehicle requires a different type of air conditioning gas, which is more expensive due to the higher cost of the refrigerant. Before carrying out any work, the technician informed you of the correct service. We always aim to be transparent with our pricing and only recommend the service that is appropriate for each vehicle.

Thank you for your feedback. We'd like to clarify that your booking was made three days before your appointment rather than a week in advance. However, we do acknowledge that we failed to contact you as we should have, and for that we sincerely apologise. Unfortunately, this was an oversight on our part, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to have your time wasted. We take full responsibility for the lack of communication and are reviewing our booking process to help ensure this doesn't happen again. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and are genuinely sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Compare Swanscombe MOT Centres & Book an Appointment At the Best One Before Your Expiry Date to Ensure Your Vehicle is Road Legal 

If your car is due an MOT test, you must book an appointment before the expiry date to continue driving on the roads around Swanscombe. The test checks whether your car meets road safety and environmental standards, and you will be prosecuted if caught driving without a valid MOT certificate. 

The only exception to this rule is if you are driving it to a garage for repairs after a failed test or to a pre-booked MOT. 

Book your MOT well in advance to avoid the risk of missing your test date. You can book up to 12 months in advance through our online comparison site and find the best value for you on an MOT near you in the process by comparing deals.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

An MOT test, or Ministry of Transport Test, is an essential annual vehicle check to assess roadworthiness and safety standards. It ensures all vehicles on UK roads are maintained to a certain standard, improving road safety standards in the process.
If your MOT is overdue you must book a test immediately. It is illegal to drive on public roads in and around Swanscombe without a valid MOT certificate.

You can book an MOT online today by entering your vehicle registration and postcode into our comparison site.
An MOT usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. Many garages offer an ‘MOT-while-you-wait’ service with waiting rooms and refreshments onsite.

If your car fails and needs extra repairs, it will take a lot longer. The test centre will be able to give you a time estimate based on the severity of your repairs.
You will need an MOT, by law, if you drive a vehicle registered three or more years ago. This means that all drivers of vehicles registered in or before 2020 must book an MOT in 2023.

If your car is less than three years old, you do not need an MOT but you can choose to book one if you wish.
An MOT can cost as much as £54.85, but many test centres set their prices lower to encourage more customers to choose them. While you can pay less than £54.85 for a class 4 test, you will never pay more as it is a fixed upper limit as set by the UK Government.

Class 4 covers all cars and light commercial vehicles registered in the UK.
