Alpha Cars offer a full range of services:
MOTs at Alpha Cars
Vehicles in England are subject to an annual MOT test, which checks that a vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards.
We provide a trustworthy and reliable service for our customers, offering MOT tests for Class 4 (Cars) and Class 7 (Vans) vehicles. Using highly experienced testers and equipment, you can be sure your vehicle is in good hands.
Our current cost for a full annual MOT test is £45.00. We are happy to provide guidance on any advisories given on an MOT pass, and if your vehicle fails an MOT test, we will contact you to advise on the repairs required.
Contact us on 01748 831700 for more information on availability.
Further information on MOT testing can be found at www.gov.uk
