Lift or pit? It’s the question we get asked most, and the honest answer is that it depends on your workshop.

Ceiling height, lease terms, throughput and the type of work you do all point in different directions. Our new guide compares mobile columns, fixed lifts and inspection pits side by side, and it’s straight about where each one falls short.

Worth a read if you’re planning a new workshop or rethinking an old one 👇

Your brake tester still switches on. That doesn't mean it's in calibration.

Calibration is every six months, with a small grace period from DVSA if it's carried out within the month due. Here's why it matters for your inspection records, and why it isn't the same thing as a service.

Planning an ATF lane? The brake tester is only the start.

Civils, installation and commissioning, six-monthly calibration, servicing and the ongoing software obligation all add to what a lane really costs to own, and they're the costs that tend to catch people out after the budget's been set.

Our new guide walks through all of it, and is honest about when an in-house lane isn't the right move yet.
