Brighton MOT Testing Centre And Vehicle Safety Checks
Since MOTs are a legal requirement, all Elite Garages (except Strood) have DVSA-accredited testers providing MOTs, at least 7 per day. Some customers also book a service at Elite Garages along with their MOT as it’s far more convenient and you can also book your MOT online.
Our Brighton MOT centre offers free retests when booked within 10 working days. To ensure our customers don’t forget their MOT due date, they can also join the Elite Members Club for free which entitles them to a text and email reminder.
Elite Garages in Brighton also perform many vehicle safety checks, especially tyres (visual inspection, tyre pressure) and fluid levels. As expected, these checks are generally more common around the summer holidays or when people are about to embark on a long journey. If the vehicle check shows up any issues, our technicians will explain them to the customer and recommend the next steps.

Some customers will have a bronze car service one year and a silver car service the next so if they’re not doing the mileage, it’s not always advised to book a silver car service every year. Most of our customers book an MOT and service at the same time.
At the time of posting, the price of a bronze car service (standard service) is from £110 and a silver car service (premium service) from £210. The service time will depend on what is being done and if any problems are identified which may require additional work.
A car air con needs a service at least every 1 to 2 years as the coolant doesn’t last forever and filters can get clogged up with dirt and stagnant water. If you notice a strange smell, noise or visible leak underneath the car, it could explain why your air con is not working.
In short, you should nearly always fit four of the same tyres to your car. The size will be stated by your vehicle manufacturer.
