MOT Testing in Hitchin & Barton Le Clay | Bowles Garage

All vehicles manufactured over three years ago are obliged to undertake MOT testing at a government-approved centre. One such centre is Bowles Garage in Hitchin, which is within easy reach of many Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire locales, including nearby Barton Le Clay. We look to take any potential sting out of MOT testing by making it as simple and affordable a process as possible.

Our garage is equipped with dedicated testing bays, and we perform all MOT testing to DVSA standards. We also offer a car servicing and MOT package which saves you on costs, and ensures your vehicle is up to standard and in the best possible position to pass with flying colours.

On average, MOT testing takes 45 minutes to an hour. To accommodate our customers, we have a waiting room where you can relax or view our technicians as they carry out the test. This is part of our on-going commitment to transparency, as we strive to be an ethical garage that can be trusted to act in your best interests at all times. Earning and keeping motorists’ trust is a big reason why we receive so much repeat custom from Hitchin, Barton Le Clay and the surrounding areas.

Should you fail your MOT, we will provide a clear account of the reason for failure and recommend the best course of action. It may be something as simple as on the spot repairs. Should you undertake the remedial work at Bowels Garage, you’ll qualify for a free re-test.

The Importance of MOT Testing

Many see MOT testing as a chore or an arbitrary task – a box ticking exercise and nothing more. But it’s an essential opportunity to ensure that your vehicle is road safe, protecting you, your passengers and fellow motorists. This is one reason why you should book in – which you can do up to one month before your MOT expires without missing out on coverage; your MOT will simply roll over when coverage was due to expire.

Another reason to value MOT testing is the fact it checks your vehicle’s emission levels. In the current climate, it’s vital to ensure you aren’t having a disproportionate impact on the environment. Then there’s the obvious fact that driving without an MOT can lead to a fixed penalty notice of £100, and up to a £1,000 fine if the case were to proceed to court.

MOT Reminders

If you’re worried that you’ll forget about an expiring MOT, we can keep your details in a database and remind you via text or email near the time to ensure you don’t run the risk of a penalty. Many customers around Hitchin, Barton Le Clay and the wider Bedfordshire and North Hertfordshire areas find this takes a weight off their shoulders!
