Queens Park Garage, Bournemouth

COVID-19 Update

We are 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

Whilst the government gave a 6-month holiday on all MOTs after the 31st March 2020 it has now been updated. 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.

The 6 month extension is still valid and still applies if your vehicle was due an MOT between these dates, For example if your MOT was due on 10th June 2020, the new renewal date is 10th December 2020 not 1st August, however it is still a legal requirement that you ensure that your car is roadworthy, and safe. 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 and steering wheel covers on every car whether there’s a virus or not, we are also using antibacterial wipes to wipe down the gearstick, 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 the social distancing please be aware when visiting the garage that:

• We are only permitting only 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.
