From the 01st of November 2007 we will be able to offer on-site number plate production using the latest digital state of the art equipment. Due to the stringent regulations brought in by VOSA on the 1st of October 2007, there are now 30 different reasons for number plates to fail the MOT inspection.

We will therefore be offering an on site fitting service, saving the customer the time involved in taking the vehicle away, finding a number plate supplier, fitting the plates and then re-booking and presenting the vehicle for its MOT re-test.

Please note that MOT re-tests carried out after the end of the next trading day will be chargeable at the Re-test rate of £25.00
