Our Services
MOT Preparation
We provide reliable and affordable MOT preparation services. By having your vehicle checked ahead of your MOT, we can identify any issues before your MOT test. This gives you the chance to rectify any problems to ensure that your vehicle passes. The main reason for having an MOT is to ensure that it is safe and roadworthy. Annual MOTs, in addition to services, are designed to troubleshoot any minor issues before they become bigger (and more expensive) ones.
Vehicle Servicing
A service is a vital part of vehicle maintenance that is completed by a qualified mechanic to assess the functions of your vehicle and keep you safe on the road. A service can help identify any issues before they cause a breakdown and are vital to prolonging the life of your car. We offer interim services, full services and major services.
Roller Brake Testing
Roller brake testing is an essential part of ensuring that your vehicle or fleet is roadworthy and safe. All commercial vehicles or trailers are advised to complete four successful brake efficiency tests annually to measure the vehicle’s braking system while stationary. This process allows us to assess the braking force for each wheel and identify if there is any imbalance across the axles. At K.E. Kent, we are fully equipped to perform roller brake testing as a standalone service, as part of your regular vehicle maintenance or as part of a pre-MOT preparation check.
We are available 24 hours a day. So, if you require professional and reliable MOT preparation services, please don’t hesitate to contact us for a FREE quote.
