We can provide workshop inspections too!
We provide workshop assessments inline with IRTEC standards, to ensure your maintenance facilities, or your third party maintenance provider, are compliant with the minimum standard practices, so you can be sure that you are using a reliable workshop and their services meet the minimum standards required, on your operator licence undertakings. It is good practice for a workshop to have annual inspections, which we are more than happy to facilitate.
Working alongside local workshops, we are able to connect you with a workshop nearby, who can provide mechanical services for your business. Whether that be regular servicing and safety inspections, or call outs for breakdowns and running repairs, we can help you source a qualified and reputable workshop to get your wheels turning and earning again.
Are you looking at expanding your workshop facilities, to conduct tachograph calibrations on site? Are you already an approved calibration centre, but want to prove due diligence to the DVSA, that you are compliant? We can help you! Our staff are Continental approved, tachograph installation and calibration technicians, and have in excess of 10years experience, working with and assessing compliance at tachograph calibration sites. Whether you want a spot check, or are looking to make adaptations, we can help you through the process and ensure you are ready for your DVSA site visit.
We can attend your site and conduct a fleet inspection too. Very similar to a DVSA fleet inspection; Not as in-depth as a periodic inspection but a little more in-depth than a driver walk around check. We can give the vehicles a thorough once over, whether it be to ensure your drivers are doing their daily checks correctly, or that your maintenance provider is conducting thorough safety inspections for you; a 'check the checker' review.
We look forward to providing you a fast and credible service for of all your transport operational tasks. Our team will be more than happy to tailor a service to suit your needs, whether it be training and education, or striving to help you demonstrate compliance excellence, we are simply a call away. Don't get caught out, and find yourself on the wrong side of the DVSA or the Traffic Commissioner. Lead by example and let us help steer you into an exemplary future in the transport industry.

A McKenzie Friend, is someone who can attend court or a Public Inquiry with you, who isn't legally trained, but has experience in a court setting. They can observe, take notes for you, give you a steer in relation to your evidence, review case notes and evidence, but cannot speak on your behalf like a solicitor would. A McKenzie Friend is a great asset when representing yourself at court or Public Inquiry, and they are accepted by the courts, as authorised attendees.
No! Whilst our speciality is transport related, we are qualified to audit any management system, in any industry sector. Similarly, a McKenzie Friend can attend any hearing, or procedural meeting, to take notes, and help you understand the process, although the specialism is in transport.
