MOT season brings opportunities

MOT season is always one of the busiest times of the year for UK garages. With lots of motorists booking in for inspections, servicing and repairs, workshops find themselves at full capacity. But while MOT season can feel like an exercise in managing demand, it also presents an opportunity - turning increased customer footfall into upselling potential.

Drivers arriving for their MOT are already in a mindset of care and maintenance. They’re thinking about keeping their vehicle roadworthy and, often, how to extend its life. This makes them particularly receptive to practical solutions that help protect their investment. For garages, this is the perfect time to recommend high-quality, add-on products that deliver both customer value and incremental revenue.

Customers increasingly value workshops that go beyond the basics to provide solutions that improve ownership and convenience. Offering trusted, premium products, alongside essential MOT and servicing work enhances that customer experience and builds long-term loyalty.

Guy Tomlinson, Managing Director at WeatherTech UK, commented: “MOT season is the perfect time for garages and workshops to maximise revenue potential. Drivers are already in a maintenance mindset.”
