The time has for the coop to get an MOT, and as I've only been in Bristol for a few months, I don't really know any garages that are 'good' and/or 'coop friendly'... wondering if anyone had any recommendations...

*shouldn't* be anything to worry about on it... rolleyes

Cheers!

I always use council run MOT centres, they dont have an agenda to fail you so that they can make money out of the repairs. And my experience of the testers has been that they have genuinely been up for bending the rules and doing their damndest to get you through the test (or at least with the coop they have been)

There is on of these in Avonmouth and another in Yate. I havent used the Avonmouth one yet but i used the Yate one for my last MOT.

My local garage (Auto Fastfit) in Longmead Avenue, Horfield. Mr Khan rarely failed any of my cars, even my Jag x type with a wheel bearing droning like my ex-wife. Although it'd give you no confidence that the car is roadworthy, it'd probably get you a certificate smile

Like to add I've never taken any of my coops there mind.

cheers guys, will message flea but will see about the others too. I need it done sharpish, so where ever can fit me in really. Think (hope) it should be ok, though one of my aux belt tensioners has started to rattle so will need to do that soon frown
