    What each garage offers, from its own website.

Every garage starts from public business data. We keep those in Lancashire that are open, have at least one Google review and work on cars or vans, and we merge duplicates. Car dealers' showrooms, car buyers, valeters, recovery-only firms and unrelated trades are left out.

We then read each garage's own website and record only what it states: servicing and repairs, MOT testing, diagnostics, air-con, tyres, electric and hybrid cars, bodywork, courtesy cars, collection and delivery, recovery, mobile work, vans, make specialists and trade scheme membership. Where a site says nothing, the listing shows no answer rather than a guess.

Each garage is also looked up on DVSA's published list of active MOT test stations, by its phone number or by its name at its own postcode. The listing shows the station we found, the vehicle classes it tests and the date we checked. No match is not a mark against a garage: it may test under another name.

Owners can claim a listing to correct details or add photos. A person checks every claim. Published by Lancashire Car Garages.

How to choose a garage in Lancashire

Know when the MOT is due

A car needs its first MOT by the third anniversary of its registration, then one every year by the anniversary of the last. You can be fined up to £1,000 for driving without a valid MOT. GOV.UK's free MOT history service shows when the next test is due, the result of past tests and the mileage recorded at each one, and you can sign up there for a free reminder by text or email a month before it is due.

Pick an approved MOT centre

Only centres showing the blue sign with three white triangles can carry out an MOT. DVSA sets a maximum fee: £54.85 for a car and £58.60 for a van between 3,000 and 3,500 kg, as checked on 10 November 2026. Each listing in this guide shows whether we matched the garage on DVSA's list of active MOT test stations, which classes it tests and the date we checked. The test does not cover the condition of the engine, clutch or gearbox, so a pass is not a full service.

If the car fails

A car fails if the result lists dangerous or major problems. You can drive it away only if the current MOT is still valid and nothing dangerous was found; driving with a dangerous problem can mean a fine of up to £2,500, a ban and three points. If you leave the car at the same centre for repair and it is retested within 10 working days, the partial retest is free. Take it away and bring it back within 10 working days and you can be charged a partial retest fee.

Get the price agreed before the work

The law says a garage must do the work with reasonable care and skill. If no price was agreed, you only have to pay a reasonable one, and if no time was agreed, the work must be done within a reasonable time. Citizens Advice points out that a quote is a fixed price and an estimate is a best guess, so ask for a quote in writing. If you are unhappy, talk to the garage first, then put it in writing.

Servicing and your warranty

Competition guidance from the CMA says manufacturers should not normally make a warranty depend on using their own dealer network for routine servicing. Check the terms of your own warranty, and keep the receipts and service record from whichever garage does the work. Electric and hybrid cars need an MOT on the same rules as other cars, and many garages now say they work on them: each listing shows whether a garage's own website says so.

Frequently asked questions

How are garages chosen for this guide?

Every listing starts from public business data and Google Maps. We keep garages in Lancashire that are open, have at least one Google review and work on cars, and we merge duplicates. Car dealers' showrooms, car buyers, valeters and other trades are left out. Owners can claim a listing to correct it.

What does the MOT check mean?

Only centres showing the blue sign with three white triangles can carry out an MOT. DVSA publishes a list of active MOT test stations, updated every three months. We look each garage up on that list by its phone number, or by its name at its own postcode, and show what we found with the date. A garage we did not match may still test under a different name, so check for the sign.

How much does an MOT cost?

DVSA sets a maximum fee: £54.85 for a car (class 4) and £58.60 for a van between 3,000 and 3,500 kg (class 7), as checked on 10 November 2026. Ask the garage for its own price when you book.

Do you charge garages to be listed?

No. A basic listing is free and stays free. Garages can pay for a featured position, and featured places are marked as such.
