The UK Car Owner's Essential Guide

Written by a qualified UK mechanic and MOT tester with over 20 years on the tools.

Most drivers pay for work they could have prevented, and get charged for work that was never needed. This guide closes both gaps. Everything you actually need to know to own, run and look after a car in the UK, in plain English, with no jargon and no assumed knowledge.

Tyre pressures, tread depth and the 20p test

Your service schedule decoded: what a minor, major and full service should actually include

What an MOT tests, and what each result means for driving away

How to avoid getting ripped off at a garage: the questions to ask, the answers that should worry you
