Evening chaps,

The time has come to get the MX5 MOT'd. I've never had to use a garage in Bristol before, so can anyone recommend somewhere? I'm tempted to use the council's place, since they won't have any tested interest in passing or failing the car. On the other hand, if there is something wrong I'm not aware of, having the car somewhere it can conveniently be fixed would be a bonus.

Cheers,

Simon

Unfortunately, Pete the Thief is no longer trading. You have to take your car to most places now. I used to prefer receiving my MOT in the post, for a small consideration. That's progress for you. wink

Nice guys, one of them mentioned they'll be taking a Smart Car to Queens Square next time round with a GSX R1000 motor! Look out for them.
