[QUOTE="Paddington, post: 7640208, member: 252"] To be fair our local garage will sort out minor issues for the MOT at the time and just charge for the parts and labour. I had a fog lamp bulb fail at another garage (though it was working the day before). I asked if I could come and replace it, I had a spare in the car ? No, they did not allow customers to work on their own cars, H&S don't you know. Could they replace it ? No, they would have to book it in as a job, could be a week. I collected the car, replaced the bulb and it passed the retest, which I of course paid for. Sometime after this I ordered a few car parts from Paddocks and arriving home at night found two boxes on the doorstep. One was the parts, the other was a stack of blank MOT forms ! We were nowhere near the garage, but the delivery driver must have associated car parts and MOTs. I was tempted to er process the forms amongst the poor and needy, but took them to the garage next day. Think we moved after that, so never got a free MOT next year. [/QUOTE]
