6-month MOT exemptions will be ending on 1 August
Yesterday, 29 June, the Department for Transport announced that the 6-month MOT exemption for cars, vans and motorcycles introduced during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, will end on 1 August.
Why is the MOT exemption ending?
We were one of many garages that stayed open and many of our customers continued to get their vehicles tested despite the exemption.
DoT has decided that as non-essential services start to re-open in line with government guidance, and more vehicles are back on the roads, having an up-to-date MOT will help to keep vehicles safe to drive.
We are as ready as we can be for more drivers who need to get an MOT but would like to invite customers to beat the rush, in particular those with a vehicle due an MOT from 1 August to book early to secure a test slot.
We continue to operate with enhanced cleaning and sanitizing of workspace, keys and common touch areas: door locks, steering wheel, etc. MOTs, Service and repair work can be conducted while maintaining social distancing and we are following Government guidance about operating safely.
Indeed, having recently invested in an O3 generator, we can sanitize the surfaces, even the air and air conditioning system in your car for your peace of mind, available from £18.
O3 is a very effective method used in killing bacteria and virus' , i believe it is used in medical facilities for exactly that purpose.
We hope to see you soon.
As always, stay safe.
