MOT Preparation & Presentation

We can take care of the MOT schedule for your vans, LGVs and HGVs to minimise disruption to your business, keeping you on the road for longer. We fully inspect, prepare and your vehicle for its MOT, rectifying any issues before getting it back to you as soon as we can.

DVS Compliance

We can do everything needed to obtain Direct Vision Standard permits which will be required for any vehicles over 12 tonnes entering the Greater London enforcement area; ensuring that the driver’s visibility meets the new safety requirements.

Whilst the law comes into effect from 26 October 2020 TFL have confirmed that fines will not be enforced until 1 March 2021. This leaves a bit of a grey area so best to check for yourself on the Government website.

Air Con Recharge and Re-gassing

We can top up your air conditioning system to ensure it is functioning efficiently and keeping you cool. We have the knowledge and experience to ensure you have the correct level of the right refrigerant for your system. Air con re-gassing is available on an ad-hoc basis or as part of your regular servicing schedule.
