Running a Vehicle Repairs and Servicing Business in Solihull

Commercial garages and mobile engineers serve everything from the business parks near Touchwood to rural properties towards Packington and Henley-in-Arden.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I charge for an MOT retest in Solihull?

MOT retests are fixed-price by DVSA (£25–£54 depending on vehicle type). You can add diagnostic labour separately if repairs were needed first. Price this clearly on your invoice to avoid confusion with full servicing costs.

Can I invoice for parts and labour separately on vehicle repair invoices?

Yes. Separate line items for parts (with VAT at 20%) and labour (also 20% VAT) make it clear to customers and simpler for your VAT returns. BizHub365 handles this breakdown automatically.

How do I track van fuel and mileage for tax purposes as a mobile mechanic in Solihull?

Record miles driven for each job using BizHub365's mileage tracker. You can claim either actual expenses (fuel, maintenance, insurance) or the HMRC fixed rate (45p per mile). Keep fuel receipts either way for HMRC self-assessment.

Do I need business insurance for a mobile vehicle repair service in Solihull?

Yes. Public liability insurance covers damage to customer vehicles while in your care. Tools insurance protects equipment in your van. Many insurers require CHAS or Checkatrade membership. Neither affects your VAT or invoicing through BizHub365.
