Foster & Heanes Garage in Fleet – MOT, Car Servicing, Car Repair Blog
A quick round up of some local car events this summer for all you petrolheads out there.
Alton Classic Car Sunday
From 2pm on Sunday 5th August 2018
The Departure Lounge Cafe, Basingstoke Road, Alton GU34 4BH
This is Hampshire's largest regular monthly classic car event. It’s a free classic car gathering for people with pre-1990 classic cars, bikes or trucks.
The site has plenty of free parking on a dedicated event field while the Cafe has full facilities and is filled with retro and vintage charm.
Maintaining your car properly is essential for road safety, therefore finding a garage you can trust is a priority.
Many people who buy new cars tend to go to the dealership where they purchased their vehicle for servicing and maintenance. Often, owners of new cars think they need to use the main dealer to adhere to the manufacturer’s warranty, but this isn’t the case.
As of 1st June, Hester's Garage in Fleet is one of four service garages of the F&H Group which serves domestic and commercial clients for MOT’s, car servicing, car repairs and auto-diagnostics testing.
The previous owners are retiring after many happy years of service and once we heard of their plans for retirement, we jumped at the chance to take over such a long established and well located garage. For us it is natural progression.
As of 20th May 2018, most vehicles manufactured or first registered over 40 years ago will be exempt from MOT testing unless they have been substantially changed.
Minor modifications will not be affected by the new MOT rules for classic cars and this has been confirmed by the Department of Transport.
More details can be found here on what is termed as ‘substantial change’
