Brakes
Braking performance and balance on the roller tester, pad and disc condition, handbrake efficiency, brake lines and hoses for leaks or corrosion.
Don't gamble on test day. WhatsApp us your number plate, we inspect the car before the test, fix what would fail, and take it through the MOT for you — one garage, one visit, serving Ayia Napa, Protaras, Paralimni & the entire Famagusta district.
An MOT failure costs you a second trip, a re-test and days without the car. Our approach is simple: inspect first, repair what's needed with your written approval, then test. That's why drivers from across the Famagusta district bring their MOT to our Paralimni workshop instead of hoping for the best.
In Cyprus, private cars take their first MOT (Τεχνικός Έλεγχος) four years after first registration and every two years after that. The test is a roadworthiness check — it confirms the car is safe and within emissions limits, not a full service. Our pre-MOT check mirrors these categories point by point.
Braking performance and balance on the roller tester, pad and disc condition, handbrake efficiency, brake lines and hoses for leaks or corrosion.
Headlight aim and operation, brake lights, indicators, fog and reverse lights, hazard switch, horn — the single most common (and cheapest to fix) failure group.
Exhaust gas analysis for petrol, smoke opacity for diesel. A clogged DPF or lazy sensor can fail an otherwise healthy car — we diagnose and fix both in-house.
Tread depth, cuts, bulges and age cracking, matching sizes per axle, wheel condition and security. We supply and fit tyres on site.
Play in the steering, ball joints, bushes, shock absorbers and springs — checked on the ramp with the wheels free, exactly as the inspector does it.
Structural corrosion, seatbelts and anchorages, doors, mirrors, wipers and washers, fuel and exhaust systems, and the general condition underneath.
Send your registration number and a preferred day to +357 96 350 642. Despina confirms your slot — usually within the same week — and arranges drop-off or free collection.
We inspect every MOT category on the ramp and send you photos and video on WhatsApp. Anything that would fail gets a free written estimate — you approve, we repair in-house.
We take the car through the MOT for you and hand back the keys with the certificate — plus a free exterior clean. Collection customers get the car delivered back to their door.
The official test fee is set by the state, not by us — it has been in the region of €35 depending on vehicle class, and is subject to pending legislative change, so we'll confirm the current fee when you book. What we control is everything around it: our pre-MOT check is quoted free, in writing, and any repair work is estimated in writing before we touch the car. No surprises at the counter, no work you didn't approve.
If the car needs nothing, we tell you it needs nothing. That honesty is how a family garage stays busy in the same town for fifty years.
WhatsApp your number plate and preferred day. We'll confirm your slot, run the pre-MOT check, and get you through the test — with free collection & delivery island-wide if you need it.
The MOT test itself typically takes around 20–30 minutes at the test centre. With our pre-MOT check included, most cars are dropped off in the morning and collected the same day. If a repair needs parts we don't hold in stock, we tell you before we start and agree the timing in writing.
If a vehicle fails, the recorded faults must be corrected and the car re-examined. Because we fix everything in-house on our 11 ramps, we repair the failure items, take the car back for the re-test and return it to you with the certificate. Our pre-MOT inspection exists precisely so this rarely happens — we aim to catch failure items before the first test.
Bring the car with its registration document (title) and, if you have it, the previous MOT certificate. Plates must be legible and the car reasonably clean underneath — our free post-service exterior clean helps there too. If you use our collection service, just have the paperwork in the glovebox and we handle the rest.
We inspect the items the MOT tests: brake performance and pad/disc condition, all lights and signalling, tyre tread and condition, emissions readiness, steering and suspension play, horn, wipers and washers, seatbelts, and chassis condition underneath. Everything is documented with photos and video sent to your WhatsApp, and anything that needs attention comes with a free written estimate — no obligation.
Yes. We collect the car — free collection and delivery island-wide — run the pre-MOT check, carry out only the repairs you approve in writing, book and attend the test, and deliver the car back with its certificate. Many customers in Ayia Napa, Protaras and across the Famagusta district never set foot in the workshop.
