Took my car in for an MOT yesterday to a place close to where I live. They failed it on the rear subframe, front nearside suspension wishbone and some other stuff. They wanted £650 to get it through the test.
I wasn't too happy so I've just taken it somewhere else for a second opinion. He failed it too on a handbrake cable and a front sidelight. That's it. £120 max including the test fee. The bloke showed me the subframe, pointed out that there's fuck all wrong with it, same with the wishbone.
Makes you wonder how many poor bastards get ripped off by twats like the guys I first went to. Cunts. I now have to go over to see them and pay them the £40 they charged me for doing my MOT which, as you can imagine, I'm over the moon* about.
