I used the Wakefield council MOT testing station for my most recent test, cost £52 and flew through

also the tester told me a few horror stories about some of the big dealerships in the area. :eek:

Can anyone recommend a decent place to get my MOT done near skipton?

Thanks

One that you have missed is North Yorkshire County Councils own test centre. It is on Finkhills Way, Northallerton. It is at the Balfour Beatty Fleet Services / RCS yard. They do a lot of private tests, can do repairs but don't like to, too busy to make work! Just a fair and honest test. If its good enough for trading standards to go there before going to the 'rogue' testing stations, it's good enough for me!

I can heartily recomend Stephen King's on Skipton Road Harrogate.

When i used to work in a Franchised dealership near there all my customers used to rant and rave about him (in a good way).

On that basis i recommended my parents to get their cars serviced there which they have now done for a few years with out any cause for complaint.
Last time my mum needed new tyres, and he suggested she could get them cheaper at qwick fit. Because of his honesty she just got him to do it anyway and paid the extra.

I still always travel back from the SE if i need something doing, it works out cheaper that paying some crook down here to do the job wrong.

Not sure how much a MOT is but doubt its more than the standard rate.

Have just been and had a first time pass. There was someone ready to start when I dropped the car off so could do it while I waited.

They suggested a new Exhaust in about 6 months and pointed out a couple of things but that was a pleasant chat, rather than a prelude to a cash extraction.

There is a fully fledged garage opposite so you don't have to go far if you needed to have some work done and don't know the area.
