Thread: MOT Garages

Their is a maximum amount that garages can harge for MOTs.
You do not have to have the repairs done at the same garage, if your car fails they will tell what it failed on, then you can go to another garage to get it reapired or just phone round for quotes

I know a lot of garages so they will do a seconf mot for free if your car fails and they repair it. Remember that nothing is free and they will probably hide the extra MOT fee in the repair charge.

This is the link to the Set Fees

MOT test fees : Directgov - Motoring

You should also see if your local council run an MoT centre at a vehicle depot for council vehicles.

These will do you an 'honest' MoT as they have no interest in selling further work/parts

i just felt i had to answer this post, i work for a mot station, and we charge 50.35, with a free re test, in 14 days, we certainly do not hide the cost of a retest in the repairs, as you are free to get them done any where

A great majority work that way and it usually gets them the business of repair.
Also there is no re-mot fee if the car does not leave the garage premises.

I use the local bus depot who do Mot's but do not do repairs so will gain nothing from failing a car unjustly.
