MOT Testing
MOT Testing in Hawkinge and Kent from a Trusted Garage with DVSA Approval
If your vehicle has been on the road for more than three years, you will have a legal obligation to have it tested annually at a DVSA approved facility. If you live or work in Hawkinge, there is a dependable garage located in the local area that undertakes MOT testing for motorists in Kent. JAW Automotive, known primarily as a BMW specialist, can perform inspections across a wide range of classes, for all marques, makes and models, to the DVSA’s standards
But why choose our garage over fast-fit centres and main dealerships?
When you choose a smaller, family-run garage like our own, you will receive a more personal and accommodating service, at a more competitive price. We find that when new customers visit us for MOT testing having not used us as a local garage before, they leave feeling totally converted and never go back to using service providers who charge for inspections at the full price.
JAW Automotive sets its own rates for MOT testing to keep prices competitive.
If you are a commuter, you may wish to drop your vehicle off before leaving for work and collect it on the way home. Because our garage is situated in an area with good transport links, this is a very simple and timesaving option. If you would prefer to wait while an inspector conducts MOT testing, we have a comfortable waiting area where you can relax and see our team in action.
Motorists from Hawkinge and Kent mainly use us for Class IV inspections.
What is Involved in MOT Testing?
MOT testing is a standardised set of checks to ensure a vehicle is still in a safe and roadworthy condition. The steering, brakes, tyres, lights, view of the road, exhaust, emissions and seat belts are just a few items that undergo a check. Investing into MOT preparation prior to the test can maximise the chances of a first-time pass. Other ways you can increase your chances include visiting us for overdue car servicing or car repairs prior to attending the appointment.
But what happens when Hawkinge and Kent motorists fail the test?
This is nothing to feel worried about. Often, a repair can be made to resolve the cause of MOT testing failures on the same day as the appointment.
In the case of more worrying causes of failure, we recommend the courses of action that you have available. And if you choose to have the remedial work undertaken at our garage, you qualify for a free re-test because fairness and transparency are the core of what we do – and they always will be.
We look to make MOT testing as simple and affordable as possible, but never in a way that compromises our standards or endangers our loyal client base.
