    They charge £53 for the mot but include a 10 day free retest if it fails, and you can get the work done where ever you like. Very honest garage.
    I thought a free retest was standard? Ive certainly never paid for a retest... :confused:

    Alot of places charge for a retest - we don't but sadly lots of garages do. Its up to the garage what they charge - as long as they don't go above what VOSA set, then it is a bit of a free for all...

    Another One for Herts, this time quite central:

    Royton Express - on the main road between Welwyn Old Town and Codicote (B656), postcode AL6 9TY

    The usual story - they have no repair business, so no interest in making money out of repairs, and therefore don't fail things unless they have to

    Been going there for about 10 years now - great service!

    Based at the back of a warehouse and distribution company

    Having searching this web site and not finding a cheap MOT test centre any where I cam across the Nationwide Autocentre website which was offering MOT's 'Nationwide' for £35.58.

    I havebnt actually had the MOT yet but I booked my slot on their web site
    http://www.nationwideautocentres.co.uk

    and so far it looks really good and more the price I wanted and can afford to pay.

    Its booked in for next Thursday. Iwill try and remember to let you know how I get on.

    Please do, as Nationwide are notorious for finding faults. Saying they invented them could be slanderous, of course, but be careful

    Just be careful with the £35.58 quote. It looks like it's for AA Members only. Otherwise its £53. It's not clear when you book and I only got suspicious when I read the small print in my confirmation email.

    i've just returned from just mots in crawley and if you book online it is only £10. They changed a bulb and adjusted a headlight to achieve a pass for free!! :T

    I will be using them again in the next few days for the other car.

    I saw those cheap prices in Sussex area in January.
    Prices have now gone up, although still cheaper than the rest.

    MOT booked online at Crawley centre is now £28.

    MOT booked online at Brighton centre was £15, is now £25.
