Prompt Autos Ltd – MOT and Servicing

MOT Testing and Preparation in Newbury

At Prompt Autos Ltd, we pride ourselves on the efficiency of our MOT testing. Our garage is equipped with first class equipment and a dedicated MOT bay to make the process run smoothly. Once your vehicle is three years old, an MOT test is required. This can comprise of over 50 different tests to make sure your car meets the government standards of road safety. Our team will check a number of things when undertaking an MOT test:

• Registration plate – the condition, legibility and security adhering to current registration plate regulations
• Lights – condition and operation of your front and tail lights
• Vehicle identification number (VIN) – this is a unique code used for identifying your vehicle. An MOT test checks it is present and displayed according to legal requirements.
• Steering and suspension – we examine whether there is any wear and that everything is operational

Stay Safe

Unlike an MOT test, servicing your car is not a legal requirement, but it is important to take your vehicle for a regular checkup for a number of reasons. You might feel safe when you’re driving, but if your car hasn’t been serviced there can often be underlying issues that can be very dangerous. Servicing at Prompt Autos Ltd will ensure a full examination of any potential problems that could become a dangerous reality. Cars naturally suffer wear and tear over time. The older a vehicle gets and the more miles it does, the more likely it is for issues to develop. While you may feel secure in your car, it’s important that you regularly check for hidden problems that you might not be aware of until it’s too late.

Save Money

Regular servicing is important for identifying any issues your car may have early on, before they become more serious and require more expensive fixes. For example, one of the most important aspects of an engine is its lubrication which keeps everything running smoothly. If your engine is not sufficiently oiled, your engine can jam which can cost thousands to fix. Also, a regularly serviced car can save you money on fuel. New filters can make your car more fuel efficient so you can go further for less as well as enjoying a smoother ride.
