Midland Truck and Van MoT vans at night

Mercedes-Benz dealer Midlands Truck & Van has started to offer night-time MoTs for customers so they no longer have to take their vehicles off the road when they could be working.

David Stewart, aftersales director, said by getting vans tested at night customers would no longer have to take vehicles off the road during the working day to get them tested, or have to transfer tools and other equipment to another vehicle ad back again.

“They need only drop their vehicle off with the dealer at the end of the day, then return to collect it, fully tested and ready for work again, the next morning,” he said. “We understand that when a vehicle is off the road during business hours it’s actually costing its owner money.

“The launch of our new night-time MoT service underlines once again, our commitment to providing customers with a service that is responsive, flexible and cost-effective.”

Midlands Truck & Van first offered night-time MoTs on vans up to 3.5 tonnes at its Coventry site, it has now extended that to its Birmingham and Wolverhampton branches. Workshops at all three sites open from 7am on Monday morning until Saturday lunchtime.
