MOT's

[ummmm]

How do you pick a garage to carry out an MOT if you have no recommendations?

I'm sure I've read not to go to the big names....

I think you may aswell just open the yellow pages, close your eyes and us which ever one your finger lands on. I got my last MOT done at a place that came highly recommended and they ended up failing me on numerous things that should not have failed.

Ask local garages (that don't do MOT's) where they take theirs.

[ummmm]

I'll stick with that then. I've phoned one already...just need to phone back. Hopefully the owner will be really nice to me and take it in for me :-)

Some councils undertake MOT testing for members of the public - at least you know that any work stated to be required is correct - they dont do the work , so gain no benefit .

[ummmm]

Do they? Never heard of that...

Is there a "Just Mots" outlet in your area? http://www.justmots.eu/

[ummmm]

The nearest one is 70 miles away...

// Do they? Never heard of that... //

Indeed so - i've had my car tested in the past , at a council vehicle service depot

[ummmm]

Will check it our Berti...Thanks.

The nearest one is MK...that's a pity :-(

Spoke to the man at the Bodyshop. He told me what MOT centre he used. Said to tell them that I have my own mechanic to do repairs and that I was sent by him.

bast thing is to find a mot station that doesn't do repairs (like the 1 i use) as i believe this way they won't fail it to get repair money on repairs that don't need doing.
