M.O.T due... best value?

bimmaguy · 06-13-2011, 07:07 AM

My MOT needs doing very soon so just checking if any one has had theirs done Halfords as they got half price on them?

Or should I go local in case they pick to many faults out? not that i am expectin any real issues.

i would expect your mot to fail for the same reasons no matter where you go to get it done?

Just got my first done there, no issues, nice and quick. They also commented that they cant do much / any of the visual stuff as it's all covered up & they're not allowed to remove the covering

Took mine in a month early so if there were issues they could be resolved under warranty.

Rybrook were one of the cheapest places when my car needed an MOT. They discounted the fee to get the business. Your local stealer may do the same.

I had mine done at kwik fit recently, if you book online it is only £35. I know a lot of people wont touch them but they were very thorough and polite so I would use them again.

Local stealer price matched so got my one done there.

I used Mr Clutch cost £29.

Don't do what I did and trade in your existing vehicle plus give a dealer £5000 for a new one, 'cos the MOT was about to run out and you thought getting it MOTed and serviced was too expensive.
