Title: Garages Post by: Panda Paws on Friday, June 10, 2011, 13:40:02 I know this has been done to death but....
I need to get a car towed from my house to a garage in Swindon for an MOT. Marshgate garage seems to be the cheapest for towing in (£35 to tow and £50 for MOT). Anyone know much about them or have any other ideas? Title: Re: Garages Post by: leefer on Friday, June 10, 2011, 13:43:36 That is cheap for towing Panda,go with it.
Whats wrong with the car? Title: Re: Garages Post by: nochee on Friday, June 10, 2011, 13:47:15 I thought you were allowed to drive the car to and from an MOT. Probably wrong though.

You are. https://www.askthe.police.uk/content/Q600.htm Title: Re: Garages Post by: @MacPhlea on Friday, June 10, 2011, 13:53:51 If you have an MOT booked you can drive to the garage to get it tested however if it fails you cannot drive it away.... That's why garages often offer free MOT's because they have you by the balls if it fails...
Title: Re: Garages Post by: Panda Paws on Friday, June 10, 2011, 14:14:47 You are. https://www.askthe.police.uk/content/Q600.htm Not if it's uninsured and no tax too! It's been off the road for a while. Title: Re: Garages Post by: @MacPhlea on Friday, June 10, 2011, 14:19:13 Not if it's uninsured and no tax too! It's been off the road for a while. Yeah that kinda fucks it up a bit! Title: Re: Garages Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Friday, June 10, 2011, 14:38:20 I reckon it's going to fail.
Title: Re: Garages Post by: nochee on Friday, June 10, 2011, 15:00:58 I reckon it's going to fail. Glass always half full, hey DRS ;) Title: Re: Garages Post by: Panda Paws on Friday, June 10, 2011, 15:39:33 I reckon it's going to fail. Most definitely, but all part of the process no?

That's why garages often offer free MOT's because they have you by the balls if it fails... Which is why, unless you're a moron, you get it tested when you've still got a week or 2 or your current MOT...?

A bit like you with essays then ? Title: Re: Garages Post by: Spencer_White on Saturday, June 11, 2011, 12:12:00 change the wipers. They always fail it on that if nothing else.
Title: Re: Garages Post by: Simon Pieman on Saturday, June 11, 2011, 12:43:15 Might be cheaper to get it insured for a day at a time. You don't need to be taxed to drive it to and from the test centre.
