While MOTs and services serve different purposes, booking them together can save time, effort, and money—while keeping your car in top condition. Here’s why it’s a smart choice:

✅ Simplifies maintenance – Since both checks are needed annually, combining them reduces the hassle of multiple appointments.
✅ Easier to remember – Many drivers forget when their service is due. Booking alongside your MOT ensures you stay on track.
✅ Prevents breakdowns – Many roadside failures are caused by maintenance issues that regular servicing could have prevented.
✅ Saves time – Get both checks done in a single visit, reducing admin and inconvenience.
✅ Reduces costs – Booking your MOT and service together is often more cost-effective than arranging them separately. Plus, servicing helps catch issues early, avoiding expensive repairs later.

Yes, you can! At Lucas Tyres & Auto Care, we offer both Full and Major service packages alongside your MOT, ensuring your vehicle remains in peak condition.

There are no restrictions on combining a service with an MOT, and if your vehicle hasn’t been serviced in a while, booking them together is a simple and efficient way to stay on top of maintenance.

You can schedule both at the same time to secure your preferred date or book them separately, though availability may vary. We recommend booking them together for a seamless and hassle-free experience.

Typically, an MOT test takes around 45 minutes to an hour, while a service can take between 1.5 to 3 hours. In most cases, a combined MOT and service will take anywhere from 1 hour 45 minutes to 4 hours.

However, every vehicle is different. If your car passes with no issues, the process may be quicker. If repairs or replacement parts are needed, it could take longer. In some cases, we may ask you to drop your vehicle off in the morning, and we’ll notify you once the work is complete.

At Lucas Tyres & Auto Care, we always keep you informed. If your MOT and service require additional time, we’ll update you immediately and explain why—such as if your vehicle fails its MOT and needs repairs.

To ensure a smooth and efficient MOT and service, we recommend bringing the following items:

✔ Vehicle Service Book – Allows our technicians to check your car’s repair and maintenance history.
✔ Wheel Locking Key & Nuts – Many vehicles have specialised locking nuts that secure the wheels. As MOT checks require wheel removal, bringing these along is essential.
✔ Clear Boot Space – Since spare tyres are inspected as part of the MOT and service, an empty boot allows for a quick and hassle-free check.
✔ V5C Registration Form – Required if your vehicle is undergoing its first MOT.

Bringing these items ensures a quicker and more efficient process, helping our technicians complete all necessary checks with ease.
