Slightly tenuous I suppose but potentially good news for MSE'ers was this in The Times last week.

Hi Folks,

I finally got my service and MOT done from F1 Autocetre at Harrow and it went very well!!!... all done in £123 (1400 cc V reg Honda civic) £35 for MOT and rest service n parts.
I cann0t recommend them more, they were supererb!!!! They have many more branches as well but cannot say of others
I was a bit scared going to them as I thought that they might find unnecassary faults.
Fisrt thing they said that they would d the MOT before the service as if car fails the MOT, they can repair it during service or I can take the car and get it repaired but then they will charge fr the re-test (which is otherwise free)
When I insisted that I wanted the MOT after the service, they agreed but didnt have MOT slot today.... So I went in with the MOT first...
Three side light bulbs not working... failed> replaced 3 bulbs (£8 total) and retested immediately and passed.
The tester was very nice, explained everything to me step by step and even adjusted my head-lights.

So very happy in the end.

Rang Herefordshire City council, they don't seem to have a MOT test centre for private vehicles. Worcester apparently does have one so I'll probably go there.

My girlfriend took her car tho have its' MOT done last week to the Council MOT garage in Bury, Lancs. It cost £40, the staff were all very friendly and helpful, there was a waiting room with mags and a TV, and she can't recommend it enough!
