Havard Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 If someone kerbed my wheels I would go mad. I don't park up like a big fanny every day for some ignorant grunt to damage them without even thinking about it. Hope you got your money back mate. Well out of order!! H.

carl0s Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I cant belive MOT's are like £50 now what a rip off! It's about £45 + vat. There's almost an hours work involved, and if it fails they have to finish off the test next time or re-test at no extra cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I take the simple route - I need an MOT once a year, and I need a service at least once a year. So both my cars get an MOT when they are serviced. Don't worry about failing and don't have the hassle of going to an MOT centre myself.

I am sorry SilverTT but am I right in saying that you saw him scratch your wheels and you said nothing about it?? H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 At least they didn't ram the front spoiler into the ramp like Hares of Rustington (avoid like the plague) did last year!!! Stayed with them for 5 days while they repaired & resprayed the damage Just a minor scratch across the boot and rear wing this year from another place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 get it sorted dude. my MOT place kurb'd 2 of my alloys on my old car. the mistake cost them £360!!! they said they would get them repaired, but because mine were a weird off chrome color no one could do it. ended up having all 4 wheels treated and resprayed a different color.
