Speed Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Hi guys, got my car back today cos it had to have the electrics done on it and yet it passed the MOT a week ago . I got charged £200 to get it thru its MOT but when i got the car back home, the horn still didnt work, the offside rear brake light didnt work and the indicators went hyper for some reason. So i had to spend even more to get it fixed when it shud have been done ages ago
danielk2002uk Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Always love it when get the motor back from the shop Question, (not getting at u here) but how can garage pass it for Mot if a light and horn dont work. Isnt that like an intergral part of the test?
Speed Posted February 17, 2003 Author Posted February 17, 2003 exactly m8, either the tester had double vision when checking the brake lights or he didnt even bother at all. Plus if i did take it back, they cud say that it was fine when they checked it, some garages are like that.
Pete Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 If they missed obvious things like brake lights, what else could they have missed
danielk2002uk Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 :upyours: christ i hate garages. one but big scrap on the bottom of my fiesta rst on panel behind the door and just looked at me like was think and denied when showed him dent.
Stormin_1.6_auto_WRC Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 agreed its worrying, i had a sidelight out at the back and they didnt even comment. My friend spotted it on the way home ( he drove me thereto pick it up)
John Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 report the place to the ministry, too many mot inspectors are very poor in the inspection they carry out. the company i work for owns a renault garage the ministry got hold of them one day and all hell let loose, the longer the inspectors get away with doing a half cocked job then the worse it gets. i'm a mechanic myself and even though sometimes if there is a slight problem then it is nice if it gets passed with a advise or somethng like that, something big will get missed someday and accidents will happen from this! sorry rant over now, just i've seen the results of this kinda thing and it kinda winds me up! john x:
