Cheap MOTs: York and Yorkshire

If you're local to Leeds, there is a very good, honest garage based in Stanningley/Pudsey called Claytons MOT & Service Centre. www.claytonsmot.co.uk

They're a well established family run operation. You can get a 10% discount when you mention their website upon booking. Not bad eh

I go to Bedford Street Garage in Halifax, have done for six years now. They only do MOT's, They have changed one bulb for me in that time, passed first time every year.

I can recommend the Leeds City Council place in York Road mentioned earlier in this thread. I went there recently, paid only £45 and passed. My car is 7 years old! Apparently for private cars they have one slot per weekday and four slots on Saturday. In theory they could offer more as the garage is working virtually 24/7, for example the bin wagons get serviced late at night. To be fair with some of these council places I imagine it's a bit of a chicken and egg, re how many slots to offer and how much demand they get.

I don't think York has a council centre, but York MOT Centre have always been good when I've gone there.

I use what is now Halfords on 53-57 Layerthorpe (not the big one on Foss Islands Road).

They've MOT / serviced my cars for 15+ years now, never tried to rip me off or get unnecessary work done.

It's been the same manager and staff for years and I'd trust them every time. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Don't be put off by the Halfords name.

Is there REALLY no council MOT centre in York? Nearest seems to be Harrogate...

I've just booked my car in for its annual MOT with Leeds City Council on York Road, Leeds, LS9...

The contact number for the centre is 0113 2143159.

The number quoted on this website is not correct and is not answered.

They are currently doing MOT's for general public on Saturday's only so book well in advance as they get very busy! Staff were very helpful!

The current test fee is £45 with free re-test if fails and is returned within 10 days...

Happy Days! :j
