September demand builds for independent garages

With schools reopening and commuters returning to their regular routines, September sees more vehicles back on the road and traffic levels begin to rise. For independent garages, the increase in motorists coincides with the demands of MOT season, adding further pressure as workshops juggle routine maintenance, repairs, and MOT-related work.

PartsInMotion.co.uk is encouraging garages to prepare for the busy period ahead by ensuring they have access to the essential maintenance and repair components needed to keep jobs moving. With increased daily vehicle use and MOT inspections both likely to uncover faults requiring attention, demand can quickly build across key categories including brakes, tyres, lighting, batteries and wipers.

Matt Gates, Director at PartsInMotion.co.uk, commented: “September can be one of the busiest months of the year for garages. As motorists return to regular school runs and commutes, workshops are managing increased vehicle use alongside the additional demands that come with MOT season.

“Having access to the right maintenance and repair parts can make a real difference during busy periods, helping technicians respond quickly when faults are identified and keep vehicles moving.”
