摘要：	The benefit of the ATF was to create a one-stop shop, says John Lewis, MOT operations manager. "We were using a third party for 35-40 tests per month, and to reduce time and costs for us, it seemed like the natural next step." Now if the garage carries out a service on a Friday, the vehicle will be put in for test on a Monday (the lane, limited by DVSA vehicle examiner shortages, is only open one day a week). In addition to the ATF services, it also uses the lane to offer MOTs for cars (Class 4), mini-coaches (Class 5) and light commercial vehicles (Class 7). Lewis describes the MOT offering as a 'plan B' originally implemented because of uncertainty about the ATF application moratorium. He explains: "That wasn't the original approach we were looking at, but we wanted to find a way to recoup our outlay. The MOT facility wouldn't cost any more than a bit of training. We have our own fleet of company vehicles and vans, and there are also staff vehicles. We also have Class 5 operators coming for repairs. We don't do light vehicle repairs unless customers can't." In addition, he points out that some Class 4 vehicles can't be tested at normal sites, such as large motorhomes. (An informal relationship with a nearby MOT centre sends the larger vehicles to J&M.)
