Question 1

When is my MOT due?

Accepted Answer

Your MOT is due every 12 months after your car is three years old. We can check your history online — just give us your registration.

Question 2

What happens if my MOT fails?

Accepted Answer

We give you a clear report explaining what failed and what is only an advisory. You can make the repairs with us or take it elsewhere; we will re-test for free once the work is done.

Question 3

What does an MOT test cover?

Accepted Answer

MOT checks your lights, brakes, steering, suspension, emissions, windscreen, and tyres. We will go through any advisories so you know what needs attention soon.

Question 4

How long does an MOT take?

Accepted Answer

About 45 minutes to an hour. We run the test, produce the result, and explain anything that came up. Taj or Aaron will walk you through any work needed.

Question 5

Can I drive my car with an MOT advisory?

Accepted Answer

Yes, advisories are not failures. But they flag issues you should fix soon — typically within weeks. We will advise on priority and urgency so you can plan repairs.

Question 6

Do you do MOT re-tests?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and they are free if we did the repairs. We book the re-test quickly so you are not off the road for long.

Question 7

How often should I service my car?

Accepted Answer

Most manufacturers recommend every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. We can check your service history and advise on intervals specific to your vehicle.

Question 8

What is the difference between interim and full service?

Accepted Answer

An interim service covers oil, filter, and core safety checks every 6 months. A full service adds air filter, deeper inspections, and more covered systems. Major services include spark plugs and brake fluid checks.

Question 9

Will you stamp my service book?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We stamp your book with our details and the date so your service history is clear for resale and warranty purposes.

Question 10

Do you use genuine parts?

Accepted Answer

We use OEM-equivalent parts matched to your vehicle — quality parts at fair prices. We will not fit inferior parts that could cause problems later.

Question 11

Can I book a service while waiting for an MOT?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many customers bring their car in for both — we can often sort the MOT and any urgent repairs in one visit. Talk to the team about what works for you.

Question 12

What if I only do low mileage?

Accepted Answer

Manufacturers set time limits as well as mileage — rubber wears with age. We check both and advise if you are due based on either factor.

Question 13

Do you work on all makes and models?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We service and repair most cars, including hybrids and electric vehicles. We have trained technicians and up-to-date diagnostic equipment for all major makes.

Question 14

How do I book in?

Accepted Answer

Call us on 01902 494948, email autocare@wolverhamptonautocare.co.uk, or pop in to Hare Street in Bilston. We will find a time that suits you and give you a realistic quote before you commit.

Question 15

What is your pricing like?

Accepted Answer

Fair and transparent. We give upfront quotes and will not start any work without your approval. No hidden charges — you know what you are paying before we touch your car.

Question 16

Do you do diagnostics?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We run diagnostic scans to find warning light causes and confirm faults before you pay for repairs. This saves money by pinpointing the actual problem, not guessing.

Question 17

Will you advise me on repairs I do not know about?

Accepted Answer

That is what we do. If we spot something that needs attention — a worn tyre, brake pad wear, loose belt — we will tell you honestly so you can plan ahead. No surprises, just good advice.

Question 18

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We are based in Bilston but serve Wolverhampton and surrounding areas including Darlaston, Willenhall, Walsall, and West Bromwich. Pop in or give us a call to discuss your location.
