So if you know you have to go to a garage, why post the question?

Ok lets try it again then spelling it out for those who didnt understand the question

Please could someone recommend an establishment i.e. the name of a garage that carries out MOT tests in the hampshire area

is that clear enough

I still don't get it. Are there no garages in your area? Could you not just pick up the yellow pages.

You got to be on a wind up now ..... obviously there are lots of garages, but last time I looked in the yellow pages they didnt give a list of recommendations by people that had used them before.

Have you never heard of the concept of going by recommendation .. I'm not in the habit of taking my scoob to some joe blogs garage I have never heard of, without first hearing from somebody that may have used them.

Simon (fatmanscooby) is your man for that sort of thing. Not my cup of tea. Send him a private mail and he will sort you out.

My mate Jonah owns MSC garage, looks like a shack from the outside but he knows his stuff mate..... He will look after you.
If you want proper Subaru then go see Len at Subaru4you in Newbury.

Why not just watch them do the MOT if your that worried about it. Two years old or three? Now who's the fcukwit

Deano

Ps. It did start out as a little poke in the ribs as I did notice the word "recommend" in your first post. But you bit so well.

No chance

When I finally decide on a new track toy it will be an Exige or caterham of some kind. The scoob was a good quick tool but not the right car for me anymore, too damned expensive and incapable on track.
