If you live in Leicester and own a car which is more than 3 years old, then you will need to take it for an MOT. Leicester residents are lucky in that they have so many great places where they can take their car for an MOT at a good price. However, finding the right place to have your MOT done is not all that simple and is often more difficult than the MOT itself!
The thing about MOT’s is that all car owners have to go through them at some point and this means that there are a lot of unscrupulous MOT test centres and garages who are looking to cash in on this fact. Many places will charge over the odds and do a shoddy job of the MOT. Leicester residents need to be aware of this when booking an MOT, so that they can choose the best people for the job.
What to Look For?
When it is time for your MOT, you will need to start looking for an MOT test centre where you can book your car in for its check. There are many good places to take your car but there are some pretty awful ones too. If you want to ensure that you get a great service and good value for money, bear the following in mind:
Visibility
You should always ask the staff at the MOT test centre if they will allow you to watch the Mot being carried out. Companies who do not let you watch may have something to hide and are the type of companies who will charge you for additional work that you do not really need, or they will charge you for work which they never do. If possible, try to book into a centre which is happy for you to stick around and watch if you wish to do so.
Charges
When having an MOT in Leicester, you should always look for a company who regulate their price and adhere to the regulated fees. If they do not then they are open to charging whatever they want and could so easily rip you off.
Finally, you should try to seek recommendations from other Leicester residents who are happy with the service they received when having an MOT carried out on their car.
