When to book a vehicle health check in Manchester

Before your MOT

A check finds bulbs, tyres and brake wear that would fail the test. The parts an MOT covers are listed on GOV.UK. See MOT testing in Gorton, Manchester.

Before winter or a long trip

Cold weather exposes weak batteries, worn wipers and tired tyres. See winter car maintenance in Manchester.

After buying a used car

You get an independent view of its condition.

Between services

If the service is not due but the car feels different.

Strange noises, vibrations or a drifting steering wheel

A warning light that comes and goes

High mileage or a car you rarely use
