  1. ACE MOT testing station rakes lane Bolton. The guy who runs it has had both bays and beetles. Really fair and knows them well.

  2. I had the bus MOT today. E&S Swift
    Unit 13, Carlton Industrial Estate Albion Rd, Carlton, Barnsley, South Yorkshire, S71 3HW

    They are an old school VW Audi specialist. A late 50s guy who serves his apprenticeship with VW on aircooled motors. He knows them inside out and moans like an old git , but loves em really. He's built dozens of engines and tells me in the past he always kept a 1600 short block on the shelf for customers.

    This is a friends place and they are all V-Dub mad and will gladly MOT ya buses. This is also a garage so they will work on your 4 wheeled gems aswell - probably one of the cheapest around the area.
     
  5. If you are around Northants I can wholeheartedly recommend these guys http://www.paragonauto.co.uk/.
    They are all car enthusiasts and are quite happy to let you watch and chat whilst doing the MOT rather than ushering you into some bland waiting area.
    I cant fault the service and all for 40 quid as well.

  13. Mike Watkins MOT and Garage in Hereford, just off Plough Lane, was recommended to me by a mate with a splitty. Really friendly people in there and will let you walk around with them, pointing out any areas of concern while he carries out the test. Gets quite a few old bays and splittys in there he was saying. He's into his old Land Rovers too, if you're into that sort of thing. Top Garage! :thumbsup:
