MOT While You Wait In Wakefield

One thing we like to be is extra helpful. And what could be more beneficial than making your annual trip to the garage easier? That’s why we offer car servicing, repairs and MOT while you wait services. Also, because we are located centrally, there is lots to entertain you nearby and many transport options if you prefer to drop and go.

Easy Car Drop Off & What To Do In Wakefield

You have a few options if you need to drop off your car. You can arrange a convoy drop-off with family, friends, or neighbours. Alternatively, you can leave your vehicle with us starting at 8:30 am. If you prefer to wait, we have a small waiting room available. However, if you’d like to go out and about, we’re conveniently located across the road from Morrisons and McDonald’s. You can use these local cafes to wait, work, or grab a bite while we complete your work. If you prefer public transportation, we’re on the main Dewsbury Road bus routes. Or, if you need a taxi, we can help arrange that for you. Other options are Thornes Park – just 10 minutes walk away or a 20-25 minute walk into Wakefield.

You Can Always Wait If You Want?

However, if you’d prefer to bring your car yourself and wait, that’s ok too. That’s because “While You Wait MOTs” are something we can turn around very quickly. We are even in the process of a waiting area makeover to make this more comfortable for you. However, for now, we’d recommend McDonald’s just across the road, so you can seek refreshments while you wait from the ‘golden arches.’
