Does anyone have any recommendations for a garage near/in Croydon? It's MOT time and Slough (where my old garage was) is a bit far to go just for an MOT...

Thanks for the quick post bud!

 

And you've never had any problems with taking the Zed there? I've had some bad experiences before with rogue mechanics with no idea about the Zed so want to be sure...

 

Cheers

I had my front bumper sprayed there and done mot and it passed :) they are only 5 min down the road from me :)

For MOTs, I've always used these guys:

Thanks for the replies guys, very much appreciated!

Bit of an update - I took the car to Ken's Autos in the end as it was closer.

 

It failed on a slightly balding rear tyre and non functioning rear number plate lamp! Annoying but at least they're relatively small things.

 

Do you guys have any recommendations for tyre places and/or garage in Croydon, pref near Whitehorse road? I'll be driving around without an MOT so the closer to the garage the better. I've already spoken to Ken's and they're happy for me to take it back for a re-test but they will be busy so getting them to do the work might be tough (I ended up waiting in their reception for 4hrs last week just for service and MOT!!)

I use EventTires, they're mobile so will come to you :)

That's a good shout there Jaffa, cheers! I did just check though and the earliest they can get to me is next Tues ;-(

 

I need to get the tyre changed so I can go for MOT re-test on Sat.

 

Have gone with National Tyres...more expensive for what I'm getting but no choice really.

 

Will definitely keep Event Tyres in mind for next time though!

 

Cheers

There`s a tyres place on the same road as kens autos 200 meters towards thornthon heath

Yea, I couldn't find the name of it and also, wanted to go somewhere 'reputable' and from memory...it didn't strike me as such when I drove past it last weekend! lol..

 

Nevermind...have booked into National Tyres on Purley Way for first thing in the morning. Only worry is driving to these places without a valid MOT but not much I can do...

If you have insurance and tax the only thing you need is to do appointment for mot and you can drive anywhere
