For your MOT many mechanics simply offer the option of assessing and carrying out the work to your car or van. You could consider having a garage that both tests and repairs cars to do the MOT. This is where it becomes important that you don’t use a garage that might charge you for repairs to get the car through its test that don’t actually need to be carried out.
Typically the things that you get charged for are brakes, tyre treads, light bulbs and windscreen washers as these are little things that could be fixed cheaper by doing your own repairs.
Look out for local government MOT centres, these are impartial and will help keep the bills down whilst ensuring that your car is safe and sound on the roads. They are almost always more expensive, but a dealer in your make of car will provide a top quality service.
It's important to get a regular service. Timing belts should be changed between 15,000 and 20,000 miles. If you don't change it and it snaps, it could cost you a new engine. An Oil Change is needed to look after your engine. When the oil is changed it is important to change filters also.
