    Well there is not anything in Hampshire, but my local MOT centre is a scrapyard oerated one, they do not carry out repairs and dont try to mess you round as they absolutely have nothing to earn from it.

    The one I got to was the Aldershot Spare Centre, for those living arounf the Rushmoor borough.

    For everybody else I would recommend looking for the same types.

    See my previous post ( on page 1 ) about Allesley Garage, Allesley, Coventry.

    Get yourself down there at 9am tomorrow morning and you'll only pay if it passes.

    Lived in Majorca for 14 years. Only place to get an MOT is a government run garage. You sit in the car and it goes along a conveyer belt. First guy checks engine, next guy lights etc. And so it goes on. If you pass you get a sticker to put on you car. No sticker the police will stop you. If it fails you get so long to get it fixed.
    Great system.

    In Hertfordshire the place I use is called Royton Express, not far from Junction 6 on the A1, (Welwyn) (not a council place)

    https://www.royton-express.com

    They do not do repairs, just drive through MOT tests, they charge only £26 as well.

    Every car I've taken there has either passed or failed with good reason.

    No booking required, just turn up.

    Please note that the entry in the Gov mot centers for East Sussex is Colaf, and should read "COLAS" and they are in Ringmer East Sussex. Happy Mot'ing !!!
