MOT AND SERVICING

At CCM we understand how a surprise MOT reminder can come as quite a shock to you. It’s not the most difficult thing to do, but it can be a pain to organise especially if your life is already hectic enough. Never fear! We are here to do what we can to make this easier for you.

Not able to get your car to our garage? Not a problem, we offer a free collection and drop off service for the local area. Need to rush off to work? We’ve got you covered with one of our many free courtesy cars!

We have 26 technicians and MOT testers across our MOT centres in Horsham, Cranleigh and Ewhurst and our team have over 30 years of experience so we are sure we will be able to get your MOT test sorted for you. Even if you have left it until the very last minute, we are usually able to get a same day MOT appointment booked for you.

Why Should I Get A Car Service?

One thing we always recommend to our customers is to get a service alongside your MOT. Yes, it’s a bit more money to spend but it is totally worth it in the long run.

The MOT test ensures that your car is road legal and safe. So, no jagged edges, broken bulbs, faulty seat belts – anything that could be considered dangerous to you or other road users. It may be a surprise to many that it doesn’t check your engine, clutch or gearbox, which most would say are the most essential parts of a car! The MOT test only tends to flag up a problem when it already need to be fixed. A service on the other hand, cares for your car and can stop future issues arising. Like when your dentist tells you to floss each tooth if you want to keep them all. Your car has plenty of parts that require regular checking and topping up, and each of our service levels covers this for you.

We’ve tried our best to make our service plans as easy as possible to understand. We offer four different services rated from Bronze to Platinum. The higher up you go, the more checks you get. It’s really that simple.

Your car’s service manual is the key to keeping your vehicle in good repair – written by the people and designed and built your car

An un-serviced vehicle can cost more:

In fuel consumption
Potential major repairs
Lubricating properties deteriorate
Items wearing quicker e.g. tyres
Lack of oil can cause serious damage
Clogs in pipes make oil unable to pass through
Not all home mechanics have the tools or knowledge to perform the 50+ steps and system checks required

However, a serviced vehicle:

Maintains the value of your vehicle
Lowers running costs
Maintains fuel efficiency
Better performance & reliability
Highlights any future issues so you can repair before needing a full replacement
Service book stamped for improved re-sale value
Prevents dirt and dust causing major mechanical issues
Prolongs engine longevity

Car manufacturers now recommend that vehicles are serviced annually, however there are some age and mileage milestones you need to be aware of. These will be mentioned in your vehicles hand book and the on-board information systems.

When your service light appears on your dash, it’s best to get this booked in right away to prevent a hefty repair cost later on.

Poor maintenance average repair costs:

Timing belt replacement = £446.72
Engine replacement if the timing belt fails = £2,000 – £4,000

Basic oil change = £125.32
Turbo replacement due to poor oil condition = £600 – £1000

Can you see how prevention is better than cure here?

The average cost of an unexpected repair on a used car is £603, according to data from an aftermarket warranty firm. Whereas the average cost of a basic service is £149.92 or £376.78 for a full service.

As we mentioned, the MOT is the legal part. This is what we have to have done to be legally allowed to drive our vehicle. Without this, we would probably see a lot of dangerous cars around which wouldn’t be good for anyone. Driving without a valid MOT can land you with a fine up to £1000 too!

Every MOT tester has to take mandatory training and an exam each year to make sure they are up to date with the latest information and test parameters. So you can rest assured that we know exactly what we need to do when it comes to your MOT test.

You can see just a few of what’s checked in a MOT on the right.

Seats and seat belts

Wipers

Wheels and tyres

Braking and exhaust systems

General vehicle condition

Suspension and shock absorbers

Servicing is often dismissed as just another expense but we really do recommend everyone to book a service while their car is in for its MOT. Yes, it does mean spending a bit more money but we know that prevention is better than cure. Plus, your car is already here!

Just let us have a look around the engine and run a few more checks to ensure that your vehicle is running as smoothly as possible. We’ll also make sure all your oils and fluids are topped up, keeping your car going for longer.

Level 1: 499cc – 1099cc
Level 2: 1100cc – 1899cc
Level 3: 1900cc – 2399cc
Level 4: 2400cc+*

If your vehicle is 2400cc+ your quote may need to be created specifically for you due to the specification of oil & parts.

	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4
Bronze	£139.71	£143.25	£151.71	£160.84
Silver	£213.44	£225.41	£244.65	£253.10
Gold	£295.95	£306.98	£327.60	£355.57
Platinum	£351.22	£362.32	£382.89	£410.71
