The Garage in Wishaw is good for MOTs and they know how to look after the cars - quite a few people from here have used them. I used them with my honda exige.

I've used John Brady automobiles for my last two MOTs with no issues. The last time I stayed during it and drove it in the test bay and stayed whilst the guy done it as he was paranoid he got stuck in it and couldn't get out :lol: First MOT they fitted all new tyres and all new brake pads and made a grand job!

I used this garage in the past.....

Old Mill Mot Station
Glasgow Road,
Hardgate,
Clydebank
G81 6AU

01389 874 655

Doesnt look much but the guys are real petrolheads adn they look after the car. FOr the past MOT i just went to SLS though
Focus ST estate, i3s and more pushbikes than strictly necessary.

....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

Not sure SLS actually do the MOT test but take it some place else, sure I read that in a post a while back (but may have been dreaming).

I would add Andersons at Chapleton into the choice too. MOT friendly and often have some interesting classic cars about that they are tuning or bringing back to life.
I have used them in the past for Elises and Landies.

Okay update.

Decided to try Old Mill Mot Station! Booked in, went, parked car....buggered off for 40 mins. Returned job done. the funny thing was the car looked as though it hadn't even moved :? .the car was in the exact same place where i left it and the windows still open.......i got the impression as though the car hadn't even moved from the spot :shock: complaining ....just a bit curious

:cheers lads for the info :thumbsup
