Help - want MOT cheaper than £50

edda

My car is due for an MOT next month and my local (dealer) garage has quoted the permitted maximum of £50.35

There must be loads of places offering a cheaper option.

As this is the 1st MOT and the car is low mileage / regularly serviced, I'm not expecting any problems.

Does anyone know of special offers or cheaper places? Anywhere in South Staffs / West Midlands or a national company will do.

Thanks very much.

have you read martins article here

if you have a council run mot test centre they are normally cheaper and as they dont fix the cars if it fails are more likely not to try and con you!!

if u have an AA card it's just over £33 at nationwide autocentres

Read Martin's article 1st - and the discussions on it.

No council run test centres anywhere close.
Unfortunately, the breakdown cover is via the manufacturer - so no reductions there.

But I have a Tesco clubcard and notice that it gives me 20% off MOTs at Nationwide.

If you've got a Kwik Fit near you, go on their web site. If you book your MOT on line it costs £44.95 (its gone up - last year it was only £34.95:mad: )

looking throught some old papers i have found

brum city council workshops
park lane
aston
B6 5PL
0121 303 6177, its old so not sure if they still do mots.

also try bt fleet, they have a good rep and dont do repairs, they test all their vans at their depots.

As it's the first MOT in 3 years - I'd expect to have something fail ...
