Did a search and found this:

If you're looking for a local council MOT service in Sheffield then this is their number 01142037421. They are located along the tramline in the Attercliffe area but I don't have the exact address. I booked my MOT and got seen next day. Cost £50. Left car for about 4 hours. First time my car has passed an MOT in 4 years.

I'm booked in on Mon - so I hope they're OK!

Just a suggestion for a good test station in York, called York Vehicle Test Centre (YVTC)
Unit 32,
Hospital Fields Rd,
Fulford Industrial Estate,
York,
YO10 4DZ
Tel: (01904) 541888
Can recomend them as they only do MOTs so don't try and rip you off with work that needs to be done.

I have today used Harrogate Council MOT centre on Claro Rd.

Passed no problems, £54 and they take cards except AMEX.

Hi All,

Does anybody know if there is a council run MOT test centre that caters for motorcycles?

Leeds would be good but anywhere in West Yorkshire.

If you think car garages take the micky..try (don`t) bike test centres..same bike..different day & tester..completely different & spurious test `failure` items.

Commercially driven test centres (the majority) have their profit as a bottom line imperative and consequently will declare unnecessary work to up the bill.

Local authorities, as usual, are missing a trick. They have full test facilities and no axe to grind re: profits...unless the tester slips into the conversation `..I know a guy who will fix your car..` but that will happen everywhere.

Thanks if you can assist.

Would highly recommend Acecare in Horbury, near Wakefield for MOTs, repairs and servicing. They have always been friendly, helpful and (touch wood) have always been reasonably cheap.

Tel: (01924) 261986
21 Calder Vale Road Horbury Junction Industrial Estate, Wakefield, WF4 5ER

Thanks

I can highly recommend Sunset garage in Ulleskelf near Tadcaster. The testers are both highly quallified and very honest. The garage does not undertake motorcycle repairs so there is no gain to them to fail the bike. They will undertake minor repairs to get your bike through the test and dont charge the earth. There phone number is 01937833365 and postcode is LS24 9DW. Hope this helps

Is that the garage that deals a lot with older Land Rovers??
