Very Interesting! Mines due in November so I might pop over to stockport.

Cheers for that!:beerchug:

[MalcQV]

Stockport is the nearest for me too.

[bora(ing) nick]

Stockport or Bury for me.... Both equidistant.

[hagis]

None in Wirral, so it's no use to me!

[sootyscottie]

about 20 miles ish away for me so wouldn't be worth it ........


However, there is a local place that does M.O.T's only, and do not do any work, just purely test. So i may try them when it is next due.

Interesting.......a good find. Same Soton is the nearest one to me. :( I hate taking cars to garages, you never know what actually needs to be done.
Ive had garages fail an MOT, and then charge stupid amounts to fix. :zx11:

[MalcQV]

I get mine done from about £35 and taken a few of our cars there a few times. I trust him when he says there is a problem as it is usually me who gets to fix it - whoppeee doo for me.

[RickT]

A local garage to me did charge £25.. however its now £30 without a free retest..

I go there after checking it first.....

hes never failed one of my cars or family members..

Cheers

A good find there Hagis!

I think I've possibly got the best deal I've had thus far, I can ring up with 24 hours notice and get an MOT for a snip under £25, bulbs are replaced FOC and so far, the golf's never once failed. :Blush:

i was stuck and had forgotten to get my old car tested by a day i think, so rang the local garage and they said bring it down, they found a few things wrong with it, then said the mot would be 57 quid with free retest within 7 days, nearly belted him when i went to pick it up, but then i thought i should have asked price before hand and chose not to throttle him till he went blue

on a lighter note, one of the garages is just down from my mums house in stafford, a very good find, i'll tell my dad, absolutley loaded but tight as a gnats chuff and always trying to save a penney or two!! made 160k buying northern rock shares and wouldnt lend me 600 quid for a cheap runabout car!! :aargh4:

So, sub-market rate price, replacement bulbs, no failures as yet....
