Keeping you road legal

By law, if your vehicle is over three years old, you must have an annual safety check.

The Ministry of Transport test, or MOT test as they are more commonly known, will ensure that your vehicle meets the required level of safety and it is also a great way to ensure the ongoing health and road-worthiness of your vehicle.

At SF Tebby & Son, our experienced team of DVSA-approved testers carry out Class IV MOTs for all cars, vans and light goods vehicles at our fully-certified MOT testing station in Avonmouth.

During your MOT, one of our qualified testers will carry out a detailed inspection covering all key safety and environmental areas. That includes checks inside and outside the vehicle, under the bonnet and underneath the chassis.

If your vehicle passes, we’ll issue a VT20 certificate. If it doesn’t, you’ll receive a VT30 with a clear explanation of why, and what needs to be done to put things right. We’ll also provide a VT32 ‘advisory’ notice, so you’re aware of any items that may need attention soon.

We know how easy it is for MOT dates to slip your mind. That’s why we offer a free MOT reminder service. When you book your MOT with us, we’ll make a note of your renewal date and send you a friendly reminder when it’s due, giving you one less thing to worry about.

What our customers say

“Always efficient and practical with a friendly and helpful service.”

Alan Poole

“You have been looking after my cars for over six years, as well as finding my first Alfa for me a few years ago. I value the combination of personal service and professional expertise that I have always experienced from Tebby's. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else.”

David Harrowes

“The Tebby garage is a hidden gem. It's a family of helpful people, not all related! Over twenty years I have had new and second hand cars obtained, valeted, retrieved, repaired etc, at such reasonable cost compared with my former garage. For good friendly advice with reliable results, they are second to none.”

Beryl banks

They have consistently been helpful and reliable, always working to high standards, and always willing to go that extra mile to help out when unexpected problems arise. In our opinion, they are quite simply the best in Bristol.”
