MOT on a Saturday

Post by Scott Arfield's Swag » Tue Jun 13, 2023 10:31 pm

My car needs to go in for MOT in mid July and I'm looking to find a reputable local garage that opens Saturdays.
I had a terrible experience using ATS for my service so I'm avoiding them and my old garage has stopped opening weekends now.
Any suggestions?

I've used kwik fit in Accy at the weekend, make sure you book well in advance, Kwik fit Burnley didn't have an mot tester available the weekend I needed it doing hence Accy.
Really impressed .

Glenway systems
Glen way
Brierfield

Next to Connelleys chippy.

I won’t take my car anywhere else. Proper mechanic who definitely won’t rip you off. Worth a phone call to see if he works on the Saturday you need.

Always found KwikFit really good. Use the one in Nelson now and again and always been a good experience for me.

I had to use Quickfit when I had a lease car, I always found Paul at Burnley to be a great, we had a bust up until he realised I was the fleet engineer for NWAS and had been in the trade for nigh on 35 years (ended it at 44). I wouldn't hesitate in using them, I think years ago they got a bad name but have worked hard to put that right, no upselling, just honest opinions. Years ago, no way on this earth would I have used em, but they have changed for the better.
