MOT

The MOT test (or simply MOT) is an annual test of vehicle safety, roadworthiness aspects and exhaust emissions required in Great Britain for most vehicles over three years old used on any way defined as a road in the Road Traffic Act 1988; it does not apply only to highways (or in Scotland a relevant road) but includes other places available for public use, which are not highways.

At Wigton VW we can carry out a pre-MOT inspection and tell you of any reasons your car may fail the MOT and we can also undertake any work and issue you with a Test Certificate.

Remember if you havent got an MOT your car is not considered road legal.

Servicing

A motor vehicle service is a series of maintenance procedures carried out at a set time interval or after the vehicle has travelled a certain distance. The service intervals are specified by the vehicle manufacturer in a service schedule and some modern cars display the due date for the next service electronically on the instrument panel.

The completed services are usually recorded in a service book which is rubber stamped by the service centre upon completion of each service. A complete service history usually adds to the resale value of a vehicle.

Diagnostics

On-board diagnostics (OBD) is an automotive term referring to a vehicle’s self-diagnostic and reporting capability. OBD systems give the vehicle owner or repair technician access to the status of the various vehicle subsystems. Modern OBD implementations use a standardised digital communications port to provide real-time data in addition to a standardised series of diagnostic trouble codes, or DTCs, which allow us to rapidly identify and remedy any malfunctions within the vehicle.

We can repair all types of body repair, whether it is accident damage affecting several panels or those irritating scuffs and scratches. We can repair any part of the car body from bonnet to boot, including wheel arches and alloy wheels.
