As most documents are now being stored online, your garage has easy access to all of the relevant documents that are needed.
Once you have left your car for its MOT, you will not need to bring any documents back with you when you come to retrieve it. You will be given an MOT certificate that should be kept safe, however.
The average MOT test takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour to complete.
Your car might be at the garage for longer than this, depending on the number of cars that are already at the garage. 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 also depends on whether your MOT in Warrington is successful the first time. If your car fails its MOT due to a dangerous defect, it is not deemed road safe and cannot be driven away from the garage, so it will need to stay indefinitely until fixed.
