Please do not blame us for the restricted timeframe available for re-tests, this is strictly imposed on us by the Government. Every time we enter your car on the system – they are looking for a fee!

Please note:
All re-tests must be pre-booked, and left for a full morning or afternoon (i.e. for a minimum of 4 hours). This condition is due to the time slots we are allocated by the government. We are unable to carry out any re-test on Saturday at any sites.
