Anybody used them for an MOT, they offer MOT for £25 with discount voucher, but do they make up the extra by finding minor (or worse) things wrong as other local garages I have used do (last one 'found' 5 things wrong but I was suspicious, so took it to my local specialist -they said none of them were failures and re-tested OK, still cost me price of another MOT though)..any experience?

Any garage advertising heavily discounted MOTs is a financial train wreck about to happen !

I realise this comment is way too late for you but hopefully it will be useful to others...

I got a quote for putting a set of new tyres on my car. The quote was really good and they are very local so I dropped my car off to have the work done. When I got my car back the steering was no longer aligned so the steering wheel now points left when I'm going straight ahead and at speeds of above 50mph the car starts snaking around. I phoned them to ask them to check the allignment and rectify the issue. They said I would have to pay to have it checked and pay for any subsequent work. I went elsewhere and will never return to this place.

I have since done a bit of research on this place and I'm not the only one to have similar problems. Avoid it like the plague.
