Contact the garage and explain what you have noticed, such as a warning light, unusual noise, reduced performance, vibration or changes in how the vehicle drives. You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself. Our team can discuss the symptoms with you and recommend an appropriate inspection, diagnostic check or service. The exact cause can only be confirmed after the vehicle has been properly examined.
You will receive an MOT refusal notice showing any major or dangerous defects that caused the vehicle to fail. Dangerous defects must be repaired before the vehicle is driven, while any vehicle used on the road must remain roadworthy. Heywood MOT Station can explain the results, carry out suitable MOT failure repairs and arrange a retest. Retest requirements and possible fees depend on where the repairs are completed and how soon the vehicle returns.
An interim service provides essential checks and is commonly suitable for higher-mileage vehicles or between annual services. A full service is more comprehensive and examines a wider range of components, fluids and filters. A major service is the most detailed option and may include maintenance items that are replaced less frequently. The right service depends on your vehicle’s age, mileage, service history and manufacturer schedule.
A vehicle diagnostic check reads fault codes stored by your car’s electronic control units and helps narrow down problems affecting systems such as the engine, emissions, electronics or sensors. A fault code does not always reveal the exact failed component, so further testing may be required. Heywood MOT Station can combine diagnostic scanning with practical investigation to identify the likely cause and explain any recommended repairs.
Possible alignment problems include uneven tyre wear, an off-centre steering wheel or a vehicle that appears to drift or pull to one side. However, these symptoms can also be caused by tyre pressure, tyre condition, brakes, steering or suspension faults. An inspection can identify the cause before adjustments are made. Heywood MOT Station provides Hunter four-wheel alignment and wheel tracking checks for vehicles requiring accurate alignment assessment.
