Introducing Albion Street Garage: More Services, Same Quality

We are delighted to announce that our family now extends to a second location, Albion Street Garage, situated approximately 3 miles from our Countesthorpe centre at 45 Albion Street, South Wigston, LE18 4SA. This expansion allows us to offer our renowned services to an even wider audience. At Albion Street Garage, we provide the same comprehensive range of services as Countesthorpe MOT Test Centre, with the notable exception of tyre services. However, we also offer an additional speciality: motorcycle MOT tests, catering to a broader spectrum of vehicle needs alongside cars and light vans.

Our Core Services: MOTs, Tyres, and Servicing

Our expertise lies in three key areas: MOT testing, the supply and fitting of tyres, and comprehensive vehicle servicing and repairs. We ensure that your vehicle receives the attention it needs to remain safe, efficient, and compliant with all regulations.

MOT Testing Explained

The MOT test is a legal requirement for vehicles over three years old. It checks that your vehicle meets minimum road safety and environmental standards. The test covers various components, including:

Tyre Services

Properly maintained tyres are essential for your vehicle's safety, handling, and fuel efficiency. We offer a wide selection of quality tyres to suit various makes and models, along with professional fitting and balancing services. We'll help you choose the right tyres for your driving needs and ensure they are fitted correctly for optimal performance and longevity. Remember to check your tyre tread depth regularly – the legal minimum is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the breadth of the tyre.

Vehicle Servicing and Repairs

Regular servicing is key to preventing major issues and extending the life of your vehicle. Our comprehensive service packages include checks on vital components, fluid changes, and filter replacements. Whether it's a routine service or a more complex repair, our skilled technicians have the knowledge and tools to get the job done right. We handle everything from routine maintenance like oil changes and brake pad replacements to more involved diagnostics and repairs. Our commitment is to keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently.

Convenient Customer Amenities

We understand that leaving your car for service or an MOT can disrupt your day. That's why Countesthorpe MOT Test Centre strives to offer convenient solutions. We can usually arrange a lift home or a pickup service if you are within a 5-mile radius of our centre. To ensure we can accommodate your needs, we simply ask that you inform us in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements. This thoughtful service is just one more way we aim to make your experience with us as seamless as possible.
