Number plate replacement - quick, secure, legal fitting. Old plates removed carefully, new ones fitted with proper fixings.
### Replace Your Number Plates Properly
Whether your old plates are cracked, faded, or you've lost one on the A30, **replacement needs doing properly**. Bodge jobs with cable ties or duct tape aren't legal and they look awful.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** If your plates are just faded but still readable, you can get through MOT. But if they're cracked or the spacing is wrong, that's a fail - so replace them before test day.

### Why Cheap Fixes Fail
Number plates take a battering - stones, car washes, weather. Cheap fixings don't last.

Good to Know
> 🚗 **Both plates need replacing?** Doesn't cost any extra - same £60 whether it's one plate or both. **Lost a plate on the motorway?** Happens more than you'd think - usually cheap adhesive pads failing. Get a replacement plate ordered and I'll fit it with proper fixings this time. **Switching to a private plate?** You'll need to order the new plates with your personalised reg, then I can swap them over. Keep the old plates though - DVLA might want them returned.
Frequently Asked Questions about Number plate replacement in Crediton
Why do people need number plates replaced?
Usually because the old ones are damaged, faded, or not road legal anymore. Sometimes it's after buying a private plate, or the fixings have failed and they've lost one. Either way, you need them refitted properly.
Can you replace just one plate if the other's fine?
Yes - if your rear plate's damaged but the front's still good, I'll just replace the damaged one. You'll still pay the £60 minimum though as I've still got to come out.
Do I buy the replacement plates first?
Yes - order from a registered supplier (they'll verify your V5 or other documents). Once they arrive, I'll come and fit them. Don't try ordering them off Amazon or dodgy websites - they need to be proper legal plates.
How long before I can drive after fitting?
Straight away if I've used screws. If adhesive pads are needed, give them 10 minutes to bond properly - though ideally leave it an hour for full cure. I'll tell you which applies.
What if my car's got awkward access to the plates?
Some cars hide the rear plate behind bumper clips or need trim removing. I'll work it out - just might take a bit longer if I need to remove and refit trim pieces properly.
