Car MOT

[Bryan+]

I only EVER go to a mot centre where I can stand under the car and chat to the bloke doing it so that he soon realises that I know about cars and am going to fix any failure points myself, rather than them trying to get work.

When my regular bloke in the garage retired, I had a worrying time finding a new place. Any that said "just waiting in the sitting room for me sir" never got another visit.

I bet they love you.

I bet they love you.

They lock the place up when they see him approaching on the CCTV and all hide in the service pit.

Mine due tomorrow.

Bought it 5 years ago, and done 12,000 miles

Legitimately think I might have ran half that distance in the same time.

If I can get @GrandOldTeam £340, I'll be ecstatic.

Bald tyres, brakes knackered, dodgy wipers.

Enough about the Mrs,what about your car?

I bet they love you.

The few times I've used them, yes! Largely to learn and keep them in tea, but on one occasion, when they made an absolute bodge of installing a fire flue/chimney, which fell down from the roof later that night and constantly leaked water when it ruined, to build a case about why I wasn't going to pay the full price!

I'd genuinely have done a better job myself and in half the time, if only I didn't need official government "hetas" approved cowboys.

Brought my car for MOT a few years back. Early one saturday morning after a heavy night.

Handed the car over and sat on a bench and the fella beside me says "hello" followed by "Are you married". I had no idea where this was going. I said no but we had just booked to get married. Out comes a business card and it turned out he owned a wedding store.

I went up to look at suits and bumped into him on the way into the shop and he introduced me as his good friend to all his staff and told them i was to be looked after. Upgraded package for a cheaper cost. Turns out he thought i worked there and would look after his high end cars he puts through MOT ever year.

No idea mate, what does it cost you……

 

[Rita_Poon]

It's in.

Now the nervous wait.

Cars 7 years old. Land rover/discovery. Just hitting 50k. I don't do a lot of driving as evidently, I'm a internet nerd.

Predict the damage.

You should check out a channel called 'It's LR time' it features Klopps nicer brother and his mrs doing all things LR 3&4.
Start at about 2yrs ago - this guy knows his shiz.
