Drivers encouraged to visit garage before MOT as repair cost calculator launched

WhoCanFixMyCar.com, an online marketplace connecting drivers needing repairs with garages, has unveiled a repair and MOT cost calculator to help motorists understand how much certain jobs cost, while encouraging them to visit a garage before an MOT.

The online cost calculator will tell motorists how much repairs on a certain car should cost depending on the area and model.

Created by WhoCanFixMyCar.com ahead of last year’s MOT changes, the tool can provide tailored prices for full services, MOTs and a range of essential repairs.

Using cost calculator

The online car marketplace has informed motorists that the cost of servicing and repairs, parts and labour can vary depending on the car you own and where you live, directing them to the cost calculator to support more informed decisions.

Drivers need to input their car registration, mileage and postcode to find the average price for each type of service in their area for similar vehicles.

Motorists can then search the website to compare prices across a range of providers and find the best deal, which is claimed to save drivers hundreds of pounds.

The online tool was primarily created to help drivers figure out how much they might have to pay for their car to pass its MOT, but it can be used for any type of service.

Professional checks

Al Preston, co-founder of WhoCanFixMyCar.com, said: “Have your car checked over by a professional before the MOT, so you’re not surprised by any defects that can leave you car-less for a while.

“We’re hoping the MOT test cost calculator will serve as a really helpful tool for drivers, so they can plan for how much various repairs will cost in their area, and more importantly, they have the knowledge on what it should cost.”
