That was a thread in here as well...molerat said:Brie said:If you google "mot at home" you should come up with a number of options. But if you want to go with a national firm you might try Halfords. Car Collection & Delivery Service | Halfords UKMaybe not

Hi folks.....sorry for slow reply. Managed to have my neighbour take me up to a local garage (5 mins in the car). Car initially failed the MOT due to some transmission/driveshaft issue but that was sorted for under £100. MOT passed and nice person drove me and car back.
Service done by Arnold Clark in a few weeks collect and return (no cast as included in the car purchase).
So all worked out in the end. Anyway, thanks all for the replies as did help a good bit.5 -
..thanks for posting the update....."It's everybody's fault but mine...."1

Just a thought, but as a neighbour has helped you out in a sticky situation maybe a box of chocolates may be a nice touch as a thank you!Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness. There is no more hope for a fool than for someone who says, "i am really clever!"0
