We provide MOT preparation, approved testing and mechanical general servicing at Parkside Garage. We’re a fully approved test centre, which means we can guarantee a qualified tester to undertake your MOT test.
In preparation for your MOT test, we can offer a free health check and visual inspection on your vehicle to ensure that you’ll pass the first time. We’ll check over your tyres, brakes, interior and exterior of your vehicle to make sure there’s nothing that can prevent you from getting your MOT certificate. There are some things you can check from home such as your windscreen wipers and washers. You can also check the fluid levels in your car such as your oil, screen wash and coolant. Replace windscreen wipers if they look cracked or broken in any way. Use our online booking tool by simply entering in your registration, and you can check when your car MOT date is coming up. You can book up to 28 days before your MOT is due so that you get a full 13 months MOT cover.
If you’re not sure when your MOT is due, you can check online using our MOT checker. Type in your vehicle registration and the date will appear alongside the services we offer here at Parkside Garage.

At Parkside Garage, your service isn’t just about your engine. A vehicle service with us inspects the entirety of your vehicle to make sure every component is working smoothly. We’ll check your steering and suspension, tyres, brakes, exhaust, timing belts, fluid levels including antifreeze, body condition, gearbox and battery. We follow manufacturer schedules as well as working with your car’s individual service history too. Depending on your mileage, we’ll offer an interim, full or major service to make sure each component is topped up just like it needs to be.
During your MOT and service, we care for your car as if it were our own. On top of that, we won’t do any work on your vehicle if additional repairs are required without your approval. We’ll run through the details with you and make sure you’re happy with the work and quote that we provide. Once you’ve made a decision to get the work done, we’ll then happily go ahead and get the work done to get your car back as soon as it’s ready. We aim for same day turnarounds and normally conduct an MOT within an hour. You’re more than welcome to wait at our garage, or you can come and collect your car when it’s ready.
We don’t just conduct MOT tests for cars, vans and light commercial vehicles. We’re also approved and experienced in conducting MOT testing for motorbikes and scooters too. If you need a qualified MOT tester to test your bike or scooter, then Parkside Garage is for you. We’ll also provide you with a list of repairs and advisories if they need doing.
