    Bournville MOT between Blaina and Abertillery. They only do tests, no repairs and are absolutely sound.

    I have used P&T Autos in Skewen for the last 7 years. Even though I moved 20 miles out of the area last year I still use them because they don't look for any extra work, maybe because they are always very busy. The MOT costs £50, which I suppose isn't especially cheap but any repairs or servicing work that needs doing is usually cheaper than any garage I have used before. Also I don't know much about cars, so having a garage I can trust is a big bonus for me.
  • The Bodelwyddan centre is good - it's listed under Denbyshire though, not Denbighshire.

    i see that Evans Helshaw at the Croesfoel park off junction 3 of the A483, Rhostyllen (Wrexham) had a MOT sign up last week think it was around £29 ?? for a the test ,it was enough to make me think ' oooo cheap'.

    I went to dickens across the road last time was about £39.95, but they always tend to have high prices
