    Can I recommend Stewarts who are behind the Merc garage on the Stratford Road from Leam to Stratford.

    They used to do all of the council's work - many a time did I see a road sweeper, or bizarrely a red london bus. Since they downsized due to the recession, and got rid of their coach fleet, they tend just to do car work/MOT's. I always take mine there and they tell me what I can get away with and what is imminent.

    Well my car passed the MOT, though I expected it to really as its only just 3 years old. Wouldn't stop certain garages creating jobs though I suppose.

    The MOT Centre was clean and professionally run, I'll use them again in the future.

    The MOT cost was £45.

    The car auction on the Moseley Road used to be a good place. No retest fees as no car ever failed. All you needed to do is slip the man £10 and he'd write you a mot.
