COVID-19 Update

We remain open and fully staffed to continue to MOT, service and repair your vehicles, and of course see to any breakdowns that arrive. We want to keep you on the road for your essential journeys. #inittogether

If you have your vehicle booked in at Queens Park Garage, it is important that prior to your booking, you MUST let us know if you have experienced ANY symptoms of feeling unwell, or if you are waiting for test results or have tested positive for Covid-19 so that we can rebook. This is to maintain the safety of ALL our customers and staff, so no matter how mild your symptoms, please call us prior to dropping off your car and speak to our team to find you an appointment after your isolation period has ended.

Whilst the government gave a 6-month holiday on all MOTs after the 31st March 2020 it has now been updated and no further MOT holidays have been planned. If your vehicle is due an MOT on or after the 1st August 2020 you are required to have an MOT before using your vehicle on public roads. Book early to avoid disappointment as bookings are filling up fast. Please check our visitors page for our social distancing rules upon visiting Queens Park Garage.

The Government states that you, as a car owner are expected to keep your car in a roadworthy condition and they have issued a list of relevant checks that SHOULD be carried out by car owner’s to ensure their vehicles are roadworthy. If they are not you could face a £2,500 fine, and or lose your licence. If you are taking advantage of this extension, please check the Government website to familiarise yourself with the requirements.

We use seat covers, floor mats, steering wheel covers, gear knob and hand brake lever covers on every car whether there’s a virus or not. We also wear gloves as standard and masks when working inside your vehicle.

We are also using antibacterial wipes to wipe down the door handles, keys, and any areas of contact within your vehicle. We also run an antibacterial aerosol through your ventilation system as part of our full service, or this can be done at request for any other booking. Due to social distancing please be aware when visiting the garage that:

• We are only permitting one customer in the reception area at any time.
• The waiting area is now closed.
• A distance line has been placed on the floor in order to adhere to safe distancing.
• Please wear a mask when picking up/dropping off your vehicle.
