Points to consider

• Only ever use an authorised MOT test centre to carry out MOT tests for your vehicle – which you can identify by blue MOT testing station sign with three white triangles

• It’s a good idea to book your MOT test well in advance, especially during the peak times of September to March

• If your car fails its MOT, you'll need to get the necessary repairs done before it can be retested

Here’s a rough guideline for how often you should have the different types of car service done:

• Interim service – Every 6,000 miles or every 6 months

• Full service – Every year or every 12,000 miles

• Major service – Every 24,000 miles or every 2 years

Whether you can use any garage for your car warranty depends on the specific terms of your warranty contract.

For manufacturer's warranties

You can usually use any garage as long as they:

• Use manufacturer-approved parts
• Follow the manufacturer's service schedule

• Keep detailed records of the work carried out

  For extended warranties

The specific terms of your warranty contract will dictate whether or not you need to use specific approved garages. Some will let you use any VAT-registered garage.

Important note

Whichever type of car warranty you have, always check your warranty terms and conditions before booking in with a garage.

If in doubt, ask your warranty provider for a list of approved garages in your area and use one of them.
