Locost friendly mot map sticky?
Just wanting to gather thoughts about what others think about a map (like the member map) or list of MOT garages that understand the kit car / locost
thing and genuinely want to pass the car or suggest helpful ways of resolving any failure points. The one I'd recommend is
Roundwood Garage
Just an idea...
Cheers
Rich

Hi Rich
Ever tried "Norman's Garage" in Starbeck, he's a really nice guy who, in my opinion, is an old fashioned mechanic, even though
he is quite young, runs the garage with his dad. He is really helpful and just doesn't fail things cos he feels like it. Even let me use his 10T
press to press in some wheel bearings.

Nah, haven't but sounds like one that should be on a map!

Good idea.
I have one to add (Station Garage, Capel St Mary, Suffolk). Happy (very!) to do kit cars, trikes & bikes as well as normal vehicles. Downside is
that he may want to talk about your car for ages!

Down south, I'd recommend Btec racing in Shipping Norton, they do my mapping and MOT's (makes it hard for them to fail on emissions )
ATB Dan.
The less I worked, the more i liked it.
