Number plates fitted securely and legally to your vehicle. Proper fixings used, clean installation, no damage to your paintwork.
### Quick, Legal Number Plate Fitting
Got new registration plates? Don't just slap them on with cable ties and hope for the best. **Properly fitted plates** won't rattle, won't fall off on the motorway, and won't give you grief at MOT time.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** If you're tempted to use sticky pads, make sure they're the proper automotive-grade ones. Cheap pads fail and your £25 plate ends up smashed on the A38.

Good to Know
> 🚗 **Multiple vehicles?** If you're doing several cars (fleet vehicles, family cars), we can do them together and save you some time. **MOT advisory about mounting?** That usually means loose fixings or illegal mounting method. Get them refitted properly before your retest. **Removing old adhesive plates?** Some older adhesive is a right pain to remove. I use proper remover that won't damage paintwork - much better than scraping with a credit card and hoping.
Frequently Asked Questions about Number plate fitting in Dawlish
What's the legal way to fit number plates?
Legally, plates need to be securely fixed and clearly visible - that means using the proper fixings for your vehicle type. Some cars need screws, others use adhesive pads. I'll use whichever method's right for your vehicle and make sure it's solid.
Can you fit number plates to my older car?
Yes - older cars sometimes have different mounting points or no pre-drilled holes. I'll work out the best fixing method that's secure without causing damage. Dawlish's full of older vehicles, so this comes up a lot.
Do I need to supply the plates?
Yes - you'll need to order the actual plates from a registered supplier (they need to verify your documents). Once you've got them, I'll fit them properly using the right fixings for your vehicle.
How long does number plate fitting take?
Usually 20-30 minutes for both front and rear plates. Bit longer if old fixings are seized or if I need to work out a new mounting solution for your vehicle.
What if my old plates are stuck on with adhesive?
I can remove old adhesive plates without damaging your paintwork - it just takes a bit more care and time. Then I'll fit the new ones properly, either with new adhesive pads or screws depending on what's best.
