Minibus and van MOTs for Gravesend & Northfleet
About twenty minutes from Gravesend to our Dartford workshop — one of the garages that tests class 5 minibuses and class 7 vans as well as cars.
Hopfields Auto Repairs for Gravesend & Northfleet drivers
Gravesend is 9.8 miles from our workshop by road, and Northfleet a little closer. It is a longer trip than our nearer areas, and the reason to make it is the MOT classes we hold.
We test class 5 private buses (M2 and M3) — the larger minibuses with 13 or more passenger seats that schools, clubs, churches and community groups run — and class 7 vans up to 3,500kg, as well as class 4 cars. Not every garage can test those, so a minibus or a large van can come to us and have its service and any repairs done in the same visit.
Cars are looked after too: servicing to the manufacturer's schedule, repairs, diagnostics, tyres and bodywork.
