Can anyone recommend somewhere in Edinburgh to take the S2 for an MOT? Somewhere I can trust to do any repairs if needed. I don't think Brian Miller does them or I would go to him. I would go out to Motortune in Shotts but it is a bit of a trek.

Cheers,
Mike

I would phone Brian and ask if I were you. If he doesn’t do MOTs then he will be happy to recommend someone who does.

Mike, I use a very good wee garage for all my MOTs, JAroc motor services in Bonnybridge. The guy is very thorough with you car as I would rather know when something is not right rather than get a 5 minute look over and a pass! I also get them for £35 as well!!!

I always go to Motortune, but then I take any excuse for a drive out …

Brian recommended Westside Motors in Lanark RD, which is just over the road from his garage. Little pricey at £55, but good to have somewhere were help is close at hand if needed.

The good news though, is the car flew through its mot with no advisories :D Not bad for an old bird of almost 20 years. Just going now to treat her to a good spin.

Nice one!

There’s a place here in Glasgow that does MOTs for £25 … my wife took her Mini there, but I wouldn’t trust them with the 944.
