What is an MOT repair?
An MOT repair is a repair made to your vehicle in order to prevent your vehicle failing its MOT test. Whether your vehicle is yet to go in for an MOT test, or it’s already gone in for one and failed because of an issue that needs fixing, making those necessary MOT repairs will ensure that your vehicle will ultimately pass its MOT.
How do I get an MOT repair?
Your first step is to find a mechanic or car garage that you can rely on to carry out any repairs to a high standard, and on time.
To do this, a good first port of call is your friends and family. Chances are, lots of them will already have dealt with some of the local garages, and so they can give you recommendations on which to approach.
Failing this, take a look online. When looking at each garage, keep an eye on their:
- History
- Customer ratings
- Testimonials
- Qualifications
- Insurance
Once you’ve found the perfect Essex mechanic for you, give them a call and let them know what you need. They’ll be able to tell you from there when you’ll need to bring your car in, how long the repair will take, and probably how much it will cost too.
FAQs
Can I carry out repairs myself?
Legally yes, you can. However, having a professional mechanic carry out the repairs for you means that you’re much less likely to fail your MOT test. Plus, many insurances or warranties can be voided if you incorrectly repair your car yourself.
How much do MOT repairs cost?
This will depend on the type of repairs you need doing. Small jobs such as replacing a worn down tyre could cost you as little as £20, whereas bigger, more complicated jobs could be in the hundreds of pounds, if not thousands. Speak to your mechanic before any repairs are done and they should be able to give you an idea about cost.
