MOT QC and QMS
In recent years the DVSA has moved away from physical visits to carrying out remote checks online; this puts a bigger responsibility on the AE or the SM to ensure that QC, Audits and other self checks are carried out regularly and correctly.

The penalties for not meeting DVSA requirements vary from disciplinary points, temporary cessation or full cessation for up to 5 years.

In order to manage the risk of not meeting DVSA requirements, DVSA have introduced the Authorised Examiner Consultant (AEC) role.

Brakemaster ATS is an Authorised Examiner Consultant (AEC) for a number of MOT Testing Stations and can provide three levels of service from a basic QC observation, a one off MOT Audit, to the set up and management of a full Quality Management System (QMS).

Engine Management, Electronic Fault Finding

As cars become more and more complex, they have a sophisticated array of sensors, actuators and electronic networks to keep them running smoothly. If something goes wrong, a warning light comes on and the vehicle usually operates on reduced power; after a while the vehicle may not start.
