Hi, I'm Lois. Pop your reg in and I'll look up your car's official MOT history and can book you in. Or snap a photo of a warning light or your certificate and I'll tell you what it means. Opening hours, prices, directions, collection — ask away.

General guidance only — a technician must inspect the vehicle before repairs. Don't include personal details; your reg is all Lois needs.
