Thanks for the welcome 🙂
There is an MOT place I’ve been going to for about 35 years, but it’s 20 miles away now (I moved house 5 years ago). I still go to them, but the car in question now has no MOT so unless I book it in with them, I can’t take it there.
I trust them implicitly (it’s an old place with analogue scale brake meters, and I sit in the car when it’s up on the lift to do the steering and brake stuff) and if there are any problems they show me. I’m very wary of going to anybody else, I once went to a place very local, not even a mile away, and I just felt like they’d rip me off given half the chance.
EDIT – basically, finding a good garage that you can trust is like finding a GP that you can trust, or a good dentist.
