Just wandered if anyone has used them before/taken advantage of the free MOT yet?

I'm tempted to trek over there next month instead of using my usual garage, but a bit wary of them wanting to make a bit of cash if they're doing the MOT for free - ie work that doesn't actually need to be done etc.

Not accusing them of shoddy practice, but we have all heard horror stories in the past and I can't find any user reviews of them on tinterweb.

Cheers,

RC.

One would assume that the club are satisfied of their integrity, otherwise they wouldn't risk an association with them, surely?

Worth a punt - I'll be using them.

I'd be interested in using them next time around, based on some decent feedback, either on here (if done sensibly) or via the club.
To assume they are doing a good job just because they are linked to the club via this promotion, wouldn't be any guarantee.

Sometimes, you've just got to trust people; the difficulty with this scenario, and any form of citizen journalism, is that it's unregulated and subject to whim, dishonesty or the foibles of the citizen involved.

For example, Suspicious Simon takes his crappy old banger to MOT City, worrying about all the episodes of Rogue Traders he's watched and fully expecting the mechanic to diagnose lots of problems that don't exist; Mike the Mechanic duly carries out the MOT on Simon's old banger, fails it and presents him with the customary list of reasons it's failed, with an estimate for the requisite repair work to be carried out.

Simon huffs and puffs in disbelief and runs to the forum to let us all know that MOT City are a bunch of crooks, failing to mention that his car is a 1976 Vauxhall Chevette, with more filler than body and an engine that leaks more fluids than a chelsea pensioner.

MOT City suffer a downturn in business, their reputation is damaged and meanwhile, Simon creeps off to another garage, has another MOT, gets the same advisories and has all the work done; he fails to post that on this forum.

Just one of the many and varied reasons that I hate the general public. And the internet. And cars.

The only flaw in this is Mr MOT City, is a member of the general public and does cars and stuff, do i trust him or not?
Otherwise very true!!!!

I would suggest yes, until he gives you reason not to; contrary to my usual mantra of misanthropy I know, but I'm feeling quite upbeat today.

I don't expect it to last.

M.I.B. ??....nope - M.I.R.W.B !!! Sent from my steam-powered Sinclair ZX81.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46136.jpg



The problem with the MOT is that a lot of it is subjective...i.e down to the MOT testers opinion. Whilst some items cannot be argued with...i.e. blown bulbs, broken springs, bald tyres, etc. a lot of other things are down to the testers judgement, and how desperate for business they are.

I used to be a mechanic, and still do a lot of servicing and mot preparation for friends on my days off, so am well used to the foibles of the MOT tester. One example a few years ago, was a friend who bought a £400 Vauxhall Cavalier, and when it came to MOT time a few months later, took it to a certain well known garage on Northgate (rhymes with Farley Clowns), who in turn sent it to a certain garage on Cross Lane, who failed it on various items and told him it would cost £600 to get it through. He then brought it down to me, it cost £40 for the relevant parts and about 2 hours labour, and he then took it to another garage and it sailed through. My nephew has just had an identical experience with the same 2 garages, but ended up scrapping his car, when told it would also cost £600.......coincidence ?????....conspiracy ???????... make your own mind up.

Another friend has just had a similar experience with a NATIONAL ly recognised TYRE fitting garage on Ings Road..she put it in for the MOT, but a headlight bulb had blown so they changed it for her....the bulb costs about £3...they charged her £12...plus 15 minutes labour (it takes 1 minute)....plus VAT...total cost - £30 !!!

The moral of the story is, find a decent garage that doesn't rip you off, and stick with it !!

Sadly, very little in life is FREE. I suspect that one way or another the fee will be 'extracted'
Better sticking to a known garage that charges but doesn't go on a fishing expedition. I'm not saying the odd car won't go through but garages cannot afford to give anything for free!

I'd rather carry on using the 2 garages I use in wakefield Illingworths and mint garage services in horbury, these were recomended by a friend who's a mechanic himself and never had a problem with either. Saying that i dont get the work done at garage my friend does that for me. Use the ones you trust otherwise you may get ripped off.

Presumably, you could always take it to your local/preferred garage if not satisfied after the freebie at MOT City?
