Birmingham Auto Centre Ltd - MOT & Servicing

MOT testing and servicing for classes 4, 5 and 7 vehicles in Balsall Heath

Virtually all road legal vehicles require an MOT test to be conducted (and successfully passed!) annually when they exceed 3 years of age. This is to ensure your vehicle is safe to be on the road. During an MOT test, our DVSA trained technicians will check various aspects of your vehicle, from the operation of all external lights and signals to the effectiveness of your brakes. Engine emissions are checked, alongside checks of all the other major components of your vehicles, such as the suspension, tyres and exhaust.

You can potentially save money by booking a service at the same time as your MOT test. This allows our experienced technicians to identify and address any potential problem areas on your vehicle that may result in it failing its MOT test. We will never carry out unnecessary work and always check with you prior to undertaking any repairs or work for which you may be charged. If you do not require a service, we’re happy to undertake standalone MOT testing.
