I've used Autoquick on Whitemyres Avenue Aberdeen, JD motors in Insch who get the mots done at Jim Kings in Inverurie and Coachhouse in Dyce, they use Colin Tyres. Didn't have any problems with any of them.

In the interests of fairness...I've been fu**ed in the past both by Station Garage and Autoquick. Wouldn't recommend either TBH. :?

Sorry for the briefness of my comments - I was heavily under the influence... :wink:

Won't go into specifics about the incidents. Suffice to say , one involved a bodged job that was passed off as fine (ending up with a junked engine) and the other was a blatant rip off when I was charged considerable cash for work that was never peformed.

I voted with my feet on both occasions :?

I'm lucky enough to have a mate who's an MOT tester in Aberdeen so generally I'm covered these days but I have heard lots of good things about JD Motors both on here and on Pistonheads. Also I believe, AW Autotech off the Spital are fairly trustworthy but I've never had any direct experience?

Top bloke.

Just checked the mot run out date....not until mid-April! I thought it was sooner.
Cheers for the advice gents. Most likely try JD in Insch as it is handy for me.
