Ok, so me Vade's due in a few weeks, but having relocated to the area a few months ago, I don't just want to take him to any old Tom, Dick or Harry :no:

I need somewhere trustworthy, careful, ideally 200sx knowledgable (if not familiar) and not too 'fussy', ;) that's flat - me car;s pretty low and I don't wanna be losing my bumpers/skirts (or my wheels ruined either).
Gloucester-way more convenient, but Bristol area also do-able.
Recommendations please.

OR do any of you's lot do MOT's in your line of work?

Thanks now :thumbs:

Well both Iceblade and myself work at the Kwik-fit on cheltenham rd and the MOT tester is a sound bloke with a softspot for S14/a 's

We do get booked well in advance though (fully booked for about the next week).
Our MOT ramp is recessed into the floor and the brake rollers have covers, so can be made completely level.

I always go to Autocheck just off the A38 between Glos and Bristol. Flat rollers etc for low cars and all a bunch of sound blokes. Will get the number just incase 01453 543264 :thumbs:

Let me know if you book in and I will get them to be extra careful;)

Awesome. Thanks fellas :notworthy

A few good garage names there - will note down all and speak with other half about which exact location would be more convenient (assuming I drop Vade' there and get picked up & dropped back).

I did consider good ol' Chris-y boy, but it's still a journey to make (but I have banked it in me nog nogg just in case ;)! :D)

Given where you work Heathend Garage is about a mile from you and have MOT'd all my cars for the last 8 years or so :)

Ask Lou for their adress/phone number or if he proves useless I'll dig it out for you :thumbs:

I grew up locally to Heathend and although i´ve never been there myself a lot of the locals recommend them (for cars and bikes) :)
