Five Star Autocentre

3.4/5

Winner of New Business of the Year. Five Star Autocentre located in Paddock, Huddersfield has won this very prestige title at the Huddersfield business awards which was held at the Galpharm Stadium. The team commented Opening a new business in a recession was a little worrying due to the great uncertainty in the economy. We realised that when times are hard, people will search for value. We are committed to giving the best value. We have gained a rapid expansion in the vehicle repair market in Huddersfield due to the excellent transparent value pricing and great customer service we have to offer. We won't tell our customers something needs doing when it doesn't. That's the principle on which we have become successful and we are confident that once they try us, they will not be disappointed.ÔÇØ Now thereÔÇÖs a new and better way to maintain your car in Huddersfield. Whatever the size of your car, Five Star Autocentre based in Huddersfield can offer you a first-class service at a fraction of the price youÔÇÖre currently paying to a main dealer ÔÇô without invalidating your warranty. YouÔÇÖre probably used to using a main dealer for your servicing. ThatÔÇÖs a safe option but an expensive one. We can offer all the benefits of a main dealer operation ÔÇô skilled mechanics, the latest diagnostic equipment, original manufacturersÔÇÖ components ÔÇô but without the huge mark-ups and sky-high hourly rates. The result? A first-class service that will save you money. A lot of money. We offer a comprehensive range of services to provide you with complete cover. We are able to provide a full range of services including MOT testing, servicing, brakes, clutches, tyres, exhausts, diagnostics and air conditioning servicing. We are proud to be associated as a Unipart Car Care Centre. We form a network of over 1,300 independent garages. We provide a unique 12 month/12,000 mile warranty on parts and labour which is honoured at all Unipart Car Care Centres nationwide. Our success has been built on one simple premise: we do the job well and we save our customers money. We can do this because our overheads are lower, our costs are lower and our processes are better ÔÇô so we can do things faster. Which means lower bills for all our customers. We have over 40 years of combined automotive staff experience. As an Investors in People accredited company, we care about our staff and they care about the service they give to customers. Importantly, we are still a family firm ÔÇô the founding director Mr Ali, is still involved very much in the day-to-day running ÔÇô which means that we can deliver the kind of personal service that you rarely encounter in the impersonal world of modern business. Ali started his working career at Toyota, the main franchise dealer based on Leeds Road in Huddersfield. He worked there for seven years as a senior automotive technician before deciding to open up Five Star Autocentre. We are committed to giving you best value. We will not tell you something needs doing when it doesnÔÇÖt. ThatÔÇÖs the principle on which we have become successful and we are confident that once you try us, you will not be disappointed. So with motoring costs going through the roof, it makes sense to call us today. ThereÔÇÖs no obligation and you could save up to 60 % off main dealer prices. We commit to setting the standard and leading the way.

MOT FAQs

How early can I book an MOT?

An MOT lasts for a year. The date it runs out is shown on your most recent MOT pass certificate. You can book an MOT near you up to one month (minus a day) before the due date and still keep the same renewal date.

For example: if your MOT runs out on 16 September, the earliest you can MOT your car and keep the same renewal date next year is 17 August. You can book an MOT earlier than this. But if you do, the renewal date will change to one year (minus a day) from the date your vehicle passed this MOT.

To find out when your MOT is and how early you can book it, use the GOV.UK tool.

When do I need to book an MOT?

A car needs an MOT every year once it’s three years old (four years in Northern Ireland). Then it needs to be retested every year on the anniversary of its last MOT. Cars under three years old don’t need an MOT.

Once you’ve passed, you’ll get an MOT test certificate showing the date of the test and the expiry date. You can get your car retested up to a month (minus a day) before it expires and keep the original renewal date.

If your MOT is due, get a quote from an RAC Approved Garage near you and book your MOT online today.

What happens if I fail my MOT?

If your car fails its MOT:

You’ll get a Refusal of MOT Certificate (VT30). You can only drive away if your current MOT certificate is still valid and no ‘dangerous’ faults were listed in the MOT. You will need to have your car repaired and retested.

Your Refusal of MOT Certificate will explain why your car failed its MOT test and explain what needs to be fixed for it to pass. Ask your local garage whether you need a full or partial MOT retest, as how much you pay will depend on the state of your vehicle.

If you get your car tested, repaired and retested at the same test centre within 10 working days, you usually won’t have to pay an MOT retest fee. Sometimes there will be a partial retest fee to pay. Just ask your garage for more information.

If you drive a car that’s failed its MOT because of a ‘dangerous’ fault, you can be fined up to £2,500. You can also be banned from driving and get three points on your licence.

To avoid failing your MOT test, maintain the condition of your car in between MOTs by booking a car service.
