Frequently Asked Questions
A vehicle check is a check-up for your vehicle, where our technicians will inspect key components to ensure all is well. It's a great way to make sure that everything continues to run smoothly and reduce the risk of breakdowns or any costly surprises in your next MOT.
How much does a vehicle check cost?
At Vertu Motors, our vehicle checks are available in three different packages depending on your preferences. Prices will vary for each of these, as they each offer different services.
What is included in a vehicle check?
This varies depending on which package you choose.
Is a vehicle check worth it?
If you want to keep on top of your vehicle's maintenance and keep things running smoothly, a vehicle check is definitely worth it. You can get added peace of mind before any longer journeys, prepare for the changing seasons, and go into your next MOT with confidence.
How long does a vehicle check take?
Times may vary depending on which vehicle check package you choose. We'll let you know when arranging this how long the check will take to help you plan ahead.
Is a vehicle check the same as an MOT?
No, a vehicle check is not the same as an MOT. An MOT is a legal requirement to make sure your car is safe and roadworthy, whereas our vehicle checks are optional and give you added peace of mind.
Do you check oil, filter, tyres, and battery in a vehicle check?
When completing your vehicle check, our technicians will check key components like tyres, brakes, and filters. They will also top up any fluids such as brake fluid, oil, or windscreen washer fluid if you're running low.
How can I book a vehicle check?
You can book a vehicle check online using our website. Simply enter your registration and estimated mileage in the tool above to check availability.
Is a vehicle check the same as a regular service?
No, a vehicle check is not the same as a regular service. A service provides a more comprehensive overview of your vehicle's condition, often carried out before an MOT. Whereas a vehicle check offers more of a once-over of your vehicle in between service and MOT periods. Our vehicle checks also don't follow manufacturer guidelines, unlike a service or MOT.
Will I get a courtesy car?
If you require a courtesy car, you can arrange this as part of your vehicle check when booking online.
Do you check and return the car on the same day?
For your convenience, we'll aim to complete and return your vehicle on the day so there should be minimal disruption to your routine.
