Thanks guys.
I have managed to book an MOT test with local KwikFit for tomorrow. Phew!
Now, it will be great if you can share any experience (good or bad) with them.
I read on various forums on this.. and some say they are good, and equally others say they are to be avoided!
The bad aspects were: they steal parts from your car, they force you into getting some work done on the work even though its not required at all, they fail the test just for the sake of asking more work done, etc.
I am more worried about the fact that they can steal parts from my car!
How am i to check it afterwards??
I am going to take a quick phone picture of the bonnet, engine et al, and compare it after I get the MOT done!
Also I am going to tell them I expect the car to pass the test straight-away (since its new), so please return it without doing extra work without asking me if they think it needs any, since I will then take it to Toyota later on.
Any bad experiences with them from any of you?Comment
