Default Scooby friendly MOT testers.

Hey!

Does anyone know a Scooby friendly garage around the Sittingbourne area? Since I bought my 14 year old Scoob, I've found my usual garage to be a bit too strict.

I need one that is sympathetic to the specific needs of a Scoob driver. If you know what i mean.

In other words, you have no cats in the exhaust system!

I do have a decat center on the car and the decat DP is waiting to go on but my MOT is next month and i don't wanna put that on and have to change it in a couple of weeks.

But it's not only that, I put white LED side light bulbs in, and my usual garage failed me last time cause they think they're blue, they do have a very slight blue tinge but i think it's only cause the head light bulbs have a slight yellow appearence, that it made the side light look more blue, I bet if I had HID's they wouldn't say a word. Little things like that, that people would generally over look.

a slight blue tinge should still pass if the tester is doing his job correctly xenon bulbs give a blue tinge too

Probably got closed down due to being mentioned on major forums like this as being a tester who turned a blind eye !!

as already mentioned probably better not mentioning any names at all via the main forum mate, its not really fair on the guys themselves is it.

Sorry guys. Just to clear up any misconception, D&F Motorsport didn't actually do MOT's he was just a local Subaru specialist, as always he knew a man that knew a man etc..
