About an MOT test in Warrington...
Any vehicle driven on the road needs to be kept in a roadworthy condition. An MOT test with CJ Auto Service Ltd, based in Warrington, will ensure that your vehicle meets environmental and road safety standards.
An MOT test and a service are entirely different; an MOT doesn’t check your car’s serviceable filter. On an MOT we check the mechanical but we don’t check perishable parts & filters etc.
Your vehicle must be presented for an MOT by the third anniversary of its registration or on a yearly basis (before the date of its last MOT) if over three years old. Some vehicles require testing when they reach one year old, we will be able to advise you if required.

Booking a service at the same time as your MOT Warrington...
It’s important to consider than an MOT is different from getting a service as it does not check the general mechanical condition of your vehicle. For this reason we believe it is essential to service your vehicle annually.
By booking your service and MOT together you can save time and potentially money. This is because mechanics can:
- Conduct a service on your vehicle before the MOT. Helping to discover any issues which may fail your MOT.
- Complete all required maintenance work together, saving you time and avoiding the need for you to arrange separate servicing and MOT appointments.

It is stated that the average MOT test takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour to complete. Of course, your car might be at the garage for longer than this, depending on the number of cars that are at the garage already. But once your vehicle is in the hands of an expert technician, like the ones at CJ Auto Service, we usually spend no more than an hour on your MOT test.
Of course, this is also depending on whether your MOT in Warrington is successful first time. If your car fails its MOT by a dangerous defect, it is not deemed road safe and cannot be driven away from the garage. As a result, it can either be repaired by the garage themselves or taken away via tow to your preferred place of repair. It can then come back to the garage for a retest.
Here at CJ Auto Service, we do everything by the book, but in an efficient way, meaning that your car is with us for as short a time as possible!
