MOTs Cost Cutting MoneySavingExpert.com Discussion Area

On the advise of MSE's MOT article, I have just used Peterborough City Council's MOT test centre. My vehicle passed and the guys there were very helpful with several advisory points that were picked up. They charge £50.35 for a test and it took about 1 hour. As they have no incentive to fail a vehicle I was happy to pay this price for the test. Here is the details of the centre:

Peterborough City Council Depot
Nursery Lane
Fengate
Peterborough
PE1 5BG

Tel: 01733 425466

I haven't looked throught he whole thread so sorry if this is duplicated!!

If you are in Preston, the Preston Bus Depot on Deepdale Road do MOT's. They charge around £40 and you get free travel on Preston buses for the day.

I've not tried it yet as only found out about it after my MOT was done this year - typical!

I also use the Royston Test Centre (near Welwyn, Hertfordshire) and have always been really pleased with them.

I followed this advice and had no problem. They charged me £40 and even replaced a light which would have failed me. Lesson learnt too!

Not sure if anyone knows of a council centre in Bromley or lambeth, or for that matter a reputable near Crystal Palace? Neither of the two council's transport depts seemed to have a clue!

I am a female who always feels very intimidated going to a garage but this place is very different and gives first class service and I never feel like I am being ripped off.

Excellent garage.
Very good value for money
Honest and trustworthy

Definitely worth giving a go...

Can anyone give any opinions on the MOT centre in Hounslow? (Bridge Rd Depot
Pears Road)

Or recommend any other trustworthy places in the ealing/acton/chiswick area? As I need to get mine done this weekend and I don't want to be ripped off!! :-)

Hi everyone

Do any of you know a council MOT centre in Hull. I have looked through the thread but the only thing I could see was someone asking the same thing but couldn't see a reply.

Thanks
