Neil Causer, owner of N&J Autocare in St Helens chose V-Tech UK for the project management, supply and installation for their Class 4 MOT Bay. Neil took over an existing MOT station that had closed down and was recommended to us by MOT Expert who carried out his MOT tester training.
What sets this project apart is the need for speed, with the help of our customer Neil and our fantastic team, we were able to get this project completed within 6 weeks of Neil’s initial enquiry. As this customer had taken the keys and started to pay rent for the building, the clock was ticking and we were up for the challenge to prevent lost revenue and opportunities for Neil.
We visited the site shortly after Neil’s enquiry to measure up and identify the specific equipment needs for the bay to become a reality, CAD drawings were made and paperwork was prepared. The very first milestone was completing the VT01 application, a critical document required by the DVSA to set up an MOT Station. This was completed in an impressive 48 hours. The rapidity didn’t stop there, approval from the DVSA came in around 14 days, a process that can take weeks or even months.
Following this, our service & warehouse team organised delivery and installation in line with Neil’s requirements and the installation was complete within just 2 days.
The equipment installed for N&J Autocare consisted of the following:
Not only do our team ensure we can meet rapid deadlines for MOT projects like this, but we’re also very passionate about ensuring we offer our customers the most cost-effective way of making their dream MOT Station come to life. With this said, we always do our best to see if past groundworks can work in our favour, and try to source equipment which will fit into existing holes. Luckily for Neil this was the case here, and we were able to help Neil save on additional groundworks by supplying a BM7110 Brake Tester which was able to simply slot straight into the existing recess, saving Neil and his business thousands of pounds.
Neil’s journey from an initial recommendation to a functioning MOT Station in a mere six weeks highlights the power of efficient project management, dedication, planning and the ability to overcome hurdles swiftly. It’s a testament to how a motivated team can make the impossible, possible! This project serves as an inspiration for those in the industry, showing that with the right strategy, commitment, and a dash of good fortune, remarkable accomplishments can be achieved in record time. With the thanks of Neil’s ambition and our incredible team’s hard work, Neil’s journey from an empty facility to an operational Class 4 MOT Bay is a shining example of how persistence and efficiency can transform dreams into reality, even when racing against the clock!
Neil has sent special thanks to our team since the supply and install and has recommended V-Tech as being a ‘very good company’ to work with for any MOT Bay needs.
