LOOKING to help customers with MOT failures? Or simply trying to better your MOT bay and avoid time-consuming, time-inefficient retests?
Then checks these seven areas – which Kwik-Fit says cause over half of all MOT failures.
The company, of course, points out that it can fix all seven. Thing is, so can you! It’s the perfect way to boost aftersales and service repairs, particularly if you can do the customer a favour and avoid an MOT failure in the process.
Needless to say, all are areas regular servicing can also help avoid…
