It's rather disappointing to see that there are no Council run MOT test centres in Renfrewshire, Inverclyde or North Ayrshire where we live..
Unless they get their vehicles done at Hawthorn Street with GCC, I suspect they will have an MoT place- infact it is virtually guarenteed. Call the council and ask where the transport workshop is- usually same place taxis are inspected.
I think Renfrewshire Council's is on Underwood Road, Paisley where the refuse trucks are.0 -
Anyone recommend an mot centre in Ayr - took it to Parks last year as they had a half price deal for NHS staff but feel they took advantage and found a few extra things to add on..0

I have used my local Nationwide garage for many years and always had good service.
Even better is cashing in your tesco clubcard vouchers for 'Deals Vouchers' that way the MOT and /or service doesn't cost any cash - repairs do however.
You just have to remember to order your deal voucher in enough time - i.e. BEFORE your MOT expires!0 -
I've used C&D Grant in Sandyford Rd, Paisley, previously Wilson Street in Renfrew. I was impressed that I was given a quote for my repairs first and wasn't made to feel under any obligation to proceed. I did and I was happy with the work done and felt it was very reasonably priced. Also, as a female driver, I didn't feel initimidated or that they bamboozled me with car jargon like I've experienced at other garages. I've gone there for several years now and would recommend it. MOT was 45 pounds.0

I take my car to Overburn Automotive in Neilston Road in Paisley. It's just in next to Morrisons petrol station and they're doing MOT's for £19.66. (They were doing them for £5 for a while but I missed out on that promotion) Never had my car or any of my relatives car fail an MOT there and they're always willing to offer advice on any potential problem you think you might have before submitting your car for test. Farmer autocare is just across the road and they have started to do half price mot's to compete but cant comment on their service as Ive never used them.0

I'd like to suggest Car Care in Thornliebank (Spiersbridge Road). £15 MOT. Suggested to me last year by a long time user (when it was £20) who'd always had good service from them, her car is 10 years old and she has always passed. Mine passed last year without any fuss -- have booked again this year0

Hi
Renfrewshire Council do have an MOT centre open to public - it's at 52 Underwood Road Paisley (within the Cleansing depot). Think the number is 0141 840 6200.

There is one in north ayrshire its in pennyburn kilwinning the no is o1294 541608 £33 for mot but if you need repair you need to take it somewhere else then bring it back. Great guys down there, good luck.0

I go to Stonyburn (theres only one, I wont name it). It's cheaper than the normal fee, honest and above board. They're always packed and I've been going there for nearly 20 years.0
