Hi to everyone

I live in Canterbury/Faversham area and I'm looking for a mini friendly mot garage. I tried to get my mini last done in december at the only place that had an appointment (big mistake). I thought the guy was harsh but the points he mentioned I've been sorting, but I dont want to waste another £40 (yes £40!!).

Any recommendations?

:sad:

well theres an mot centre just down the road from me in faversham, ospringe road. ive had no problems with them and the mot cost me £34.

incendently what does your mini look like as i have been flyering all the minis i see in canterbury for the last six months.

Theres one up the road from me in Sittingbourne that charges £30 I think, I know he's quite good.

Hi

I live in Dunkirk in the woods so my mini is pretty well hidden off the road (due to the mot) and my dogs a mini fan too so if you spot it be quick. Whats on the flyer?

Dont suppose you know of anyone wanting a Designer (white) project.

Hi

Mines the blue sprite at the top of the hill, minus the stickers and has battered chrome work.
Its on black steelys (trims knicked) soon to go onto 12" minilites or 10" dunlops if i ever rebuilt my cooper brakes.

If you come to my house its the one with Digby the bigest dog in the world he's loud but a softie.

How about Manne Hutte garage in Ramsgate. Very mini friendly. A mini garage in everyway. Not sure if they do MOT's. Good bet they do though.

Thanks guys

I think i'll head north 300 miles to my parents and pretend thats my closest mot centre.

I read from a different topic that mot testers are obliged to adjust the carb if emissions are high. The one that failed me did nothing but test and fail!

Does anyone know how true this is?
