anyone on here a current MOT tester?.
been offered a buisness opportunity to open a testing station/general repairs garage,my testers license expired long ago and i need to know the in,s and out,s of it these days

does it not cost a fortune in equipment to start up. I was told by a friends brother that he'd spent £60k just on the basic equipment to outfit a small industrial unit when he sold his last huge garage cos it was getting to big

this is his place - linky

Grahams really good btw, won an mechanics contest thing a while back

we put 60k into our test business, what you need is a good supply of trade customers as they are the bread and butter of the business ,its a lot of paper work to get started ,about 3-6 months to get opened

Here is a linky to the VOSA site relating to becoming a testing station, Sorry if youv'e already been there.

cheers for the links peeps,having a chat about it tomorrow
