Fleet Services

We are located directly opposite the Arnos Court Hotel on the A4 in Brislington. Please drive through the large stone archway as photo (map)

If you are visiting the site other than for a MOT test, please park your vehicle in the visitors car park, which is located on the upper level of the site, accessed from Sandy Park Road, and then report to the Fleet Services Reception, which is down the steps, to the lower level.

Did you know that as a member of the public you can get your car MOT'd by Bristol City Council?

Fleet Services can test all types of transport from mopeds, motorcycles, cars, vans, motorhomes and minibuses. See MOT testing section for details.
