Global Multi-Million Pound Business, Serco Choose V-Tech Garage Equipment
MOT Bays – Case Study
Client: D F Naylor Limited
Location: Derbyshire
Product: Class 7 ATL Bay
V-Tech are pleased to announce that we have helped global multi-million-pound business, Serco after they invited us to tender for their latest workshop project. The business operates 11 workshops in and around the UK. They recently decided to combine two of their existing workshops into one to have one main site which caters for all types of commercial automotive services.
The two existing sites in Thetford and Dereham were equipped with a variety of commercial workshop equipment, which needed to be transported from both sites to the new main workshop in Watton, Norfolk. They also required additional workshop equipment which they didn’t have throughout the other two sites.
As leading garage equipment suppliers, we were able to supply Serco with premium quality workshop equipment for their new build. This included our BM20200 Commercial Mobile Brake Tester, Headlamp Aligner & Exhaust Extraction. We also arranged for a sub-contractor to assist with the transportation of the workshop equipment at their other sites and the full installation of their latest investments. This full installation also included full electrical services to the workshop and even provided top-quality resin pouring services to deliver a high finish epoxy floor.
We completed the whole project within 4 weeks from initial enquiry. During this time, we visited the site to understand the needs of the business, created a CAD drawing for the new workshop layout, appointed a sub-contractor to assist in the transportation of goods and the install of equipment, and project managed the entire project from start to finish.
Daniel Taylor-Webb, UK National Workshop Manager says “V-Tech have provided us with many services over past years. Overall, I am very happy with the service that V-Tech provides, no complaints and I hope that there will be many more to come!”
Do you have a workshop project coming up? Contact our V-Tech team today to find out more about how we can assist you and provide you with the very best quality garage equipment.

Investing in an MOT bay at a perfect time!
MOT Bays – Case Study
Client: Bargeddie Auto Services
Location: Glasgow
Product: BM 4010 & ATL MOT Bay (Class 4
We are pleased to announce that we have installed a full MOT Bay at Bargeddie Auto Services. Bargeddie Auto Services is an passenger workshop in Glasgow which are known to provide professional automotive services such as MOT’s, vehicle repairs and more.
Robert Mooney, Workshop Owner decided to invest in their own MOT bay from V-Tech, as the workshop was currently outsourcing this service to another local garage. The workshop themselves did not have the appropriate garage equipment to perform MOT tests in-house but now the garage has their own fully functioning bay to perform the legal service. By investing in their own MOT testing equipment, they will harvest more profit margin and can now offer complete vehicle services.
The workshop couldn’t have chosen a better time to become an MOT Test Centre as the demand for MOT’s is significantly high at the moment due to the Covid-19 mot extension regulations.
V-Tech were able to assist the workshop with the full MOT bay solution from the supply, right through to the installation as well as successfully and safely carrying out full in-depth training on the garage equipment. See below a full list of the MOT equipment which was successfully supplied and installed.
- 4 post OMA 4 tonne lift with play detectors
- OMA jacking beam
- 2401ukr headlight tester
- BM 4010 brake tester
- Opus 40/100 combi unit (gas and smoke)
- Mot tools board
- Turnkey instruments decelerometer
V-Tech offer a range of professional, high quality MOT bays and equipment. See below for a break down of all of the MOT configurations we offer.
Robert Mooney, Workshop Owner said ‘I was searching online for a full MOT bay for our workshop and came across V-Tech who were the cheapest for the equipment I needed. The whole process from me getting a quote to the equipment being delivered and installed was relatively quick and the team were really helpful. It’s good that they can install the equipment as well as supply it because normally I have to ring around to try and find someone who can fit it for me, so it saved a lot of time. I’ve already recommended V-Tech to other workshops’.
We offer various specifications to suit your workshop needs, along with flexible finance to suit your business circumstances.
