Increasing MOT increases revenue

You may already have an MOT bay and are looking to increase your revenue by adding a second, or are a one-man workshop considering moving into testing vehicles. The best solution to either of these situations is to consider a one-person Test Lane, such as that offered by Sun.

By upgrading your MOT Bay to a One Person Test Lane you can dramatically reduce your labour costs per MOT. That means if you already have a test lane installed, you’ll only need to take one technician into the bay to test rather than two, resulting in better efficiency in your workshop.

The Sun One Person Test Lane offers a four-post ATL lift, play detector, radius plates, pedal depressor, convex mirrors, 130mm recess fitment and an extra-long platform to allow testing of most UK vehicles.
