Motability North West: What We Do
Fastlane Autocare is a full-service independent garage that looks after Motability scheme vehicles just as carefully as any other car. Whether it's routine maintenance, an MOT, tyres or a repair, we keep it simple, accessible and honest, and we're always happy to explain what falls inside your Motability agreement and what would be private work.
Servicing
Interim and full servicing to your manufacturer's schedule, keeping your scheme vehicle safe, reliable and properly recorded throughout the North West.
MOT Testing
MOT tests carried out and explained plainly, with any advisories talked through so you know exactly where your car stands, no jargon and no pressure.
Tyres & Repairs
New tyres, brakes, exhausts and general repairs on scheme cars, using quality parts and giving you honest guidance on what's urgent and what can wait.
The Motability Scheme, Briefly Explained
Mobility allowance, exchanged for a worry-free car
The Motability Scheme lets people who receive a qualifying mobility allowance lease a brand-new car, scooter or powered wheelchair in exchange for all or part of that allowance. It's designed to take the stress out of motoring, with a lot of the running costs bundled into one straightforward agreement rather than paid piecemeal.
Under a typical scheme lease, things like servicing, maintenance, tyres and breakdown cover are usually included and arranged through the scheme's own approved network. That's genuinely useful to know, because it means some work on your vehicle may already be covered, and it's always worth checking your agreement before you pay for anything privately.
Where we come in is the work that sits outside that cover, or any job a scheme driver simply prefers to arrange with a trusted local garage. We'll always be upfront: if something looks like it should be handled under your Motability agreement, we'll tell you, rather than quietly charging you for it.

Motability North West: Accessible & Trusted
♿ A garage that makes life easier, not harder
Being Motability-friendly isn't a badge you can just print off, it's how a garage actually treats people. For us that means taking the time to explain things clearly, never rushing you, and making the whole visit as straightforward as possible whatever your mobility needs. If you need us to talk through options slowly, arrange collection details, or simply be patient, that's exactly how we work.
We're an established Motability-friendly garage in St Helens serving drivers right across the North West, and we treat every scheme vehicle with the same care and quality parts we'd put on our own family car. We won't upsell you and we won't blind you with jargon.
Honestly worth knowing: if a job should be covered under your Motability lease, we'll point you in the right direction rather than charging you for something the scheme would sort.
Motability North West: How It Works
Getting your scheme car looked after is refreshingly simple. Give us a call or book online, tell us what's going on and whether you're a Motability driver, and we'll take it from there. We'll check what your car needs, be clear about anything that might sit under your lease, and never carry out extra work without talking it through with you first.
Many scheme drivers pair their car service with an MOT test to save a second trip, and we're happy to arrange both in one visit. If you're closer to the coast, our Motability servicing and tyres across Merseyside page covers the same friendly service for drivers nearer there.

Honest garage. They actually told me one thing should be covered by my scheme rather than charging me. You don't forget that.

We're an independent, RAC and AA approved garage in St Helens that is genuinely Motability-friendly and welcomes scheme drivers from right across the North West. That means we're set up to help you with servicing, MOT, tyres and repairs in a patient, accessible way.
It's worth being clear that the Motability Scheme runs its own approved dealer network for work included in your lease. We're happy to look after your car for anything outside that, or any job you'd simply rather bring to a trusted local garage, and we'll always tell you if something should be handled under your agreement instead.
The Motability Scheme allows people who receive a qualifying mobility allowance to lease a new car, scooter or powered wheelchair in exchange for all or part of that allowance. It's built to make motoring simpler, bundling many of the running costs into one agreement.
On a typical car lease, servicing, maintenance, tyres and breakdown cover are usually included through the scheme's own network. Because arrangements can vary, it's always sensible to check your own agreement so you know exactly what's covered before paying for anything privately.
Yes. We carry out interim and full servicing to your manufacturer's schedule, using the correct specification oil and quality parts, and we keep your service record up to date. Scheme vehicles get exactly the same care as any other car we look after.
Because routine servicing is often included in a Motability lease, we'll always check with you first and be honest if it looks like the work should be arranged through your scheme instead. If it's private work, we'll give you a clear, upfront price.
Absolutely. We carry out MOT tests on scheme vehicles and explain the result plainly, talking through any advisories so you understand exactly where your car stands. Many drivers book their MOT and service together to save a second trip.
If your MOT turns up work that would normally sit under your Motability lease, we'll flag that so you can arrange it the right way rather than paying for it unnecessarily.
On most standard car leases, tyres and puncture repairs are included as part of the scheme, usually arranged through its approved supplier network. That's genuinely good to know before you pay for tyres anywhere, so it's always worth checking your agreement first.
We're happy to fit tyres on scheme cars for any driver who prefers to sort it privately, and to give you honest advice on tread, condition and safety, but we'll never let you pay for something your lease would cover.
We're based on Boundary Road in St Helens, which makes us easy to reach for Motability drivers across the North West, including St Helens, the wider Merseyside area, and towns nearby in Lancashire and Greater Manchester. Drivers nearer the coast can also see our Motability Merseyside page.

Your Motability agreement sets out what's included and how work covered by the scheme should be arranged, so for anything the lease covers it's best to follow those arrangements. For work that sits outside your cover, or that you'd rather handle privately, you're free to use a garage you trust.
The safest approach is simple: check your agreement, and if you're ever unsure, give us a call and we'll help you work out what's covered and what isn't before anything is done.
Yes, that's a big part of being Motability-friendly. We take the time to explain things clearly and patiently, we don't rush you, and we'll do what we reasonably can to make your visit easier, from talking through options without jargon to sorting out practical details when you book.
If there's anything specific that would help make your visit more comfortable, just let us know when you get in touch and we'll do our best to accommodate it.
Yes. For any work that falls outside your Motability cover and needs paying for privately, you can spread the cost with our Payment Assist option over 3, 4 or 6 monthly payments at 0% interest, with no hard credit check for bills up to £1,000.
It's there to take the pressure off if an unexpected repair crops up, and we'll always give you a clear price up front so there are no surprises.
It couldn't be simpler. Call us on 01744 808586, send a WhatsApp, or book online, and let us know you're a Motability driver along with what you need. We'll take your details, check what your car needs and be clear about anything that might sit under your scheme.
