It's that time of the year and the Zed has to go in for it's annual checkup! This will be the first time I've had to take the Zed for an MOT and I'm a little aprehensive as even when I had my old Vectra I was slightly taken for a ride!!

 

So...can anyone suggest/recommend a decent MOT test centre in the Reading/Berks area??

 

I've had a scour on here but there doesn't seem to be anyone closer than Bracknell...

look :VOSA Vehicle Identity Check test stations (VIC)

half way down the page

cheers for the link scubie - but there doesn't seem to be one near me at all... :(

 

anyone have good experiences with any garages local to reading/berks??

I used to use a place in Maidenhead, if that's any use - they never had a problem passing my cars (even the ones with *cough* no CAT *cough* ), it has been 5 years though so they could have changed by now.

hmm...sounds interesting! Do you still have their details?

I just looked in the Yellow Pages - they appear to be gone now :(

All MOT stations should test to the same standards, so you should find one pretty close to you who will be able to test the car, If you go to one and youv'e got any concerns over any failure items gimmie a shout

Cheers for the tips but I managed to find one down the road in Bracknell and I'm glad to say the Zed passed with flying colours!!
