- If your car or van fails, you pay nothing until it passes the retest
- Any minor repairs that can be done during the test, such as a brake light bulb replacement, are free - you just pay for the part
- If you take it away for repairs, and it fails the retest, we will give you another ‘free’ opportunity to get it right
- Unlike some national chains and dealers; there are no hidden retest charges
Our incentive is to get you a pass, or we don’t get paid!
- vehicles must be retested within 10 working days
- maximum of 2 ’No Pass No Fee’ tests per vehicle
- because of the complexity of modern headlamps; free headlamp bulb changes during MOT are at managers discretion
Overview
Our aim in these tough economic times is to give you the best value for money in terms of servicing and repairs.
We believe our 3 services compare more favourably in content and cost than Nationwide, Kwik Fit or the dealer! Combined with an MOT the savings can be the equivalent of over 80% off your MOT.
- Uniquely, we plug into the cars ECU (where fitted) to check for any hidden issues and report back.
- We report any other items we discover, which we believe may need future attention.
- Service schedule parts and labour are fully covered by a 12 month or 12’000 mile guarantee.
- Wash and Vac with full and major services.
- Collection & delivery by arrangement.
Servicing your car is a critical but relatively low cost investment. It extends the life of the vehicle, spots problems before they can become serious and can add value to the sale value of the vehicle.
Prospective buyers look for a vehicle’s fully stamped service book to indicate how well it’s been looked after.
Motest is unique in offering a service book with our compliments if the original has gone missing.
Finally, if your vehicle is under warranty or you wish to, our database allows us to service it precisely to the manufacturer schedule. This does not affect your warranty and we stamp the service book accordingly.

MG Rover
At Farnham and Swindon we offer full dealership service and repair on MG Rover cars from the MG Z range right back to the earlier models such as Minis, Metros and Rover 200. We have full diagnostic capability and can supply new keys with the correct codes. You will get dealership level skills but at very affordable prices. We use original MG Rover parts and have an updated kit to permanently fix head gasket problems on the K-Series engines, as fitted to many models.
There is considerable MG Rover heritage within Motest, particularly at Farnham. The workshops we occupy were part of one of the oldest Austin (which became part of BMC/BL/Austin Rover) distributors which opened nearly 100 years ago.
We have the skills to repair and service many classic cars from this manufacturer. We recently helped refurbish one of the oldest SD1 Rovers in existence belonging to Keith Adams a well known motoring writer. You will also regularly find such cars from the old BMC/BL days in for repair.
Even if you live outside the Farnham / Swindon areas, we are very experienced in MG Rover across all sites, who can call on Farnham/Swindon’s expertise and equipment if needed.
New Mini
The New MINI was launched into the UK in July 2001. It has been a tremendous success both here and abroad. Now in its second incarnation, the oldest early versions are now nearly 9 years old.
Many buyers of these cars took out the BMW TLC programmes, which particularly on earlier cars will have ended. The owner then has to decide continue to use BMW MINI dealers with the high charges or an independent. The cars are not too complicated to repair but specialist knowledge and the use of original parts is desirable.
Motest Farnham & Swindon are now specialising in the New MINI for servicing, repairs and tyres.
Our labour charges are considerably less than your local MINI dealer, yet our skills and equipment are as high. Services are to manufacturer schedule, guaranteed for 12 months and your service book is stamped correctly.
We also hold an extensive stock of quality New MINI service parts such as oil and air filters, brake discs and pads.
MOTEST has specialist diagnostic equipment specific to the New MINI, which allows us to match dealer skills in identifying any faults and keeping the car in maximum tune.
Finally, many New MINI’s are fitted with Run-Flat tyres (RSC) which if driven punctured are recommended to be replaced. They are expensive, but you will find us cheaper than the dealer and probably most fast fit tyre companies. We hold key sizes and makes (Pirelli & Dunlop) as well as Avon’s new equivalent.
Our runflats start at £99 each plus fitting /balance /VAT. We also stock MINI non-runflat tyres.
So next time your New MINI needs attention, call us and get great dealer service and quality but at non-dealer prices.
Even if you live outside the Farnham / Swindon areas, we are experienced in New Mini across all sites, who can call on Farnham and Swindon’s expertise and equipment if needed.
