Chapelhouse Servicing

Service & MOT

Our technicians are manufacturer trained and use the latest diagnostic equipment to ensure your vehicle receives the best possible attention.

Our dealerships offer a full range of services including annual manufacturer and budget servicing,  mechanical repair.

If your vehicle is 3 years or older you are required by law to have an annual safety check, the ministry of transport test, commonly known as the MOT Test. The purpose of the MOT test is to ensure the vehicle meets the minimum safety level required by law.

The penalty for not having an up to date MOT certificate could be a fine. Also if the vehicle is involved in an accident you may be asked to produce your MOT certificate. An insurance claim could be affected by the absence of your MOT, especially in the case of injury.

It is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is examined every 12 months. Without a current MOT certificate, you will be unable to drive your vehicle lawfully or renew your road fund license. Recent computerisation of the MOT testing system by VOSA means police and mobile camera units can now check remotely to see if your vehicle has a current MOT.

Chapelhouse Tyres

Our tyres start from just £19*. We can suit all budgets.

UK law requires that your vehicle is fitted with the correct type and size of tyre for the vehicle type you are driving and for the purpose it is being used. In the UK the legal limit for minimum depth of the tread on your tyres is 1.6 millimetres, across the central 75% of the tread around the complete circumference of the tyre.

At Chapelhouse we recommend that you replace your tyres before the legal limit is reached, for safety reasons replacing your tyres at 2 millimetres. At 1.6 millimetres in wet weather it takes 8 metres (an extra car length!) to stop at 50 mph than if your tread was 3 millimetres.

With regular checking of your tyres can help you to avoid 3 penalty points and £2,500 in fines (per tyre) for having tyres worn beyond the legal minimum limit on your vehicle.
