Common questions

Where can I get a vehicle health check near me in Smethwick?
ER Automotive on Cranford Street, Smethwick (B66 2RX) carries out health checks Monday to Friday. Book online or call 0121 461 6097.
Is a health check the same as an MOT or a service?
No. An MOT is a legal roadworthiness test and a service replaces oil, filters and other parts. A health check is an inspection only, useful between the two.
When is a health check worth booking?
Before a long trip, before winter, when you have just bought a used car, or when the next MOT or service is months away and you want peace of mind.
