What documentation do I need to provide when booking a service?

When booking a service or an MOT test for your vehicle through Garage.co.uk, the process is designed to be as straightforward and hassle-free as possible. Our platform and the approved garages we partner with utilise online systems to access necessary vehicle information, reducing the need for physical documentation. However, there are a few items you should consider bringing with you to your service appointment to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Essential Documents for Your Service Appointment

While the garage can access much of your vehicle's information online, including MOT history and certificates, having the following documents with you can help facilitate the service process:

  • Appointment Confirmation: Always bring a copy of your booking confirmation. This can be on your phone or a printed copy. It serves as proof of your scheduled appointment and outlines the service you're expecting.
  • Insurance Certificate: Although not always required, having your vehicle insurance certificate on hand is good practice. It’s particularly useful in situations where the service includes driving the vehicle by garage staff, such as during diagnostics or test drives.
  • V5C Log Book (Vehicle Registration Document): Your V5C, or log book, is crucial if any service related to the vehicle's registration or identification is needed. It's also useful to verify ownership if such confirmation is required by the garage.
