That's wierd, I paid £45 inc a £5 tip to the guy who normally does my MOTs even though the one he did last week on the Caddy was 100% above board.

Can't find any information on when they went up but the last increase prior to this one was implentmented on 30th August 2006

Did find this MOT testers Forum which may yield some nuggests worth knowing

Someone else who hasn't been on here for a wee while... Where did you take your Camaro for its MOT? Mine's not due for another few months but worth knowing about a Yank friendly place... :)

When you said about the local Vauxhall dealer - did you mean the Crownhill one? You'd think they'd still have Chevy-familiar people in the 'shop there - not that long ago they used to sell the things after all.

I used 'Andy Oils' in the the Barton Road Industrial Estate... They Get quite a few Yanks in there... Roadkill's brother works in there...

No Motorbodies in Luton, but any VXR Dealership such as Crownhill will do

Put the GMC in for MOT last week and paid £40

Yep MOT'd the Trans-Am and the Mondeo last week and the Firebird at beginning of August for £40 each ;)

Luckily they all passed
