Car Safety Inspection


Keep yourself, your family and your car safe on the road. Book a 30 point car safety inspection at your local Halfords Autocentre. Winter or summer, new car or used car, safety problems can arise with little warning. So whether you've just bought a used vehicle or you've heard a worrying sound coming from the engine when driving, let our ATA-trained technicians put your mind at rest.

Our car safety inspection has been designed to check key components to ensure your car is roadworthy, ideal if your vehicle doesn't need an MOT yet or hasn't been inspected for a long time. If we identify any faults we will provide you with a free no obligation quotation outlining any additional work required.

Our comprehensive car safety inspection checks key components including brakes, suspension, tyres, wheel bearings and much more.
