MOT only garage recommendations

Recommended Posts

The DVLA states that the MOT test fee for a car is £54.85.

 

If you are being offered less than that I'd be a bit wary that they might be looking to make up the difference in repairs.

 

I'd be especially wary of places like Kwik-Fit who offer it for £20 providing you spend at least £35 on a service whilst it's in there.

DOT MOT are the best in my view, they only do MOT's and no repair work so you are assured a fair test.

No they don't!

 

The DVLA states that this is the MAXIMUM fee a garage is permitted to charge for an MOT.

We paid £30 to Hi Q on Leppings Lane for the last car we sent down there for MOT.

 

They pointed out a tyre with 3mm tread on it...

 

...with advice to keep an eye on it - not to buy a new one.

I went to Halfords Hillsboro

 

It was half price if booked on net and they didnt fail it!!!

 

 

 

Hi everyone, I've got to get my car in for an MOT at the end of this month, it's the first MOT I've done so I don't want to be ripped off, can anyone recommend a good MOT only garage near Hillsborough/that side of Sheffield?

 

Cheers

Foxhill garage, then bring it to me if it needs any repairs. Test is £40 and they do a free retest.

Ive used DOTMOT at olive grove, THORPEs at thurgoland and Hemingways in whitley....all are MOT only as the OP asked for and all were good in my experience...

 

My advice stay away from national chains where staff are on sales comissions!#

 

Find a good local small garage that do mots and repairs! I am sure there are some in S6.

 

I only use lancaster and maw in s35......what they don't know about cars isn't worth knowing.....very fair guys

 

And yes £54.85 is teh maximum a garage can charge.....lots of independent garages do them for £35/£40 often with a free retest
