Buy as little as a £1 99 air freshner and get a free MOT that must be taken before October 31st 2019.

If you aren't fussy where you have your MOT carried out, this might save £50+[/QUOTE

Good we offer. .
Typical I,m in Northern Ireland. Why are we treated so different. It’s the same with half the stuff on auction sites don’t post to n.ireland even when I offer to pay ,, most still refuse. But big thanks to the guys who do treat us as normal,postage etc.
Could start a new thread about this alone lol. But for those who get the free m o t. Good on you.

^ It does seem very unfair that N Ireland, as part of the United Kingdom, is left out of these kind of deals.

Won't ever be tempted by Halfords' or other, 'free' / cheap MOTs...

I've been happy paying a proper, old school MOT mechanic £45 for the past 10 years to highlight "worthwhile safety issues", not generate income.
Minor things, like h/lamp beams out, he 'fails' but then fixes and passes.

'my' MOT tester only does tests anyway ..... they don't do repairs (though he'll adjust a headlight or give leeway on a failed number plate etc)

Empty garage, awaiting new toy :)
I have many regular customers were I pick up and drop of their cars for Servicing & MOT's

My biggest bug bear is when the newer customers expect me to dispose of the,
drivers seat, floor mat, steering wheel, hand brake, and gear lever protection disposable covers,
after dropping off their vehicles, its like they are an inconvenience.

Next will be replacing the fuel used :)

We have government centres , and boy when you pass them you know all’s good , have to even get headlights adjusted day of the test at £10 in case they move slightly , they poke and prod then drive it , nephews car passed last wk and at end of test his handbrake cable broke , they took his pass cert off him at the exit ,,and he had to rebook and pay a retest .
Bit harsh I thought.

Halfords will be “looking” for work.

If they fail you, your ‘current’ MOT will no longer cover you. It supersedes it, and depending on the category of fail, you may have to either let Halfords repair it, or get it towed to your Indie
