I always use my local village garage for MOT,s. At £50 it isn't the cheapest but he is a good honest bloke who is very good at his job so Im happy to give him a bit of support.
For the sake of a few quid it,s worth it. :y

I also know dodgy outfits like Halfords and quickfit fail and charge for headlight aiming etc.
If the headlight aim is out of tolerance, it is a fail , even if  just one bulb needs replacing ,it's a fail ,must be entered on the VTS device as a fail, then repaired, then part retest 
not that i'm sticking up for Halfrauds or quicksh!t
you can't do repairs ,however minor, during a test

but i suspect your implying that such outfits fail on such items ,even though they are fine ,just to meet sales targets etc bump up the bill
you could be right  ;D

Sadly I know they do! Well a certain branch anyway 😡😡😡😡

£53 at my local garage which is 5 minutes walk from home.  :y

There's nothing worse than taking your car somewhere and ending up walking the streets while they test or fix it.  ::)

I'd fail you if you got your todger out during the MOT, too  :P ;D


I tend to pay full whack at Autobarn, as they're walking distance from my house (local BMW/Merc/etc specialist) .. think I'll be going to Webby and saving the £20 in future, though ;D
