| Mot tester in Cornwall-St.Austell area |
|
Hi,
It's MOT time and it's the first one I've had to put on. Can anyone recommend a good MOT garage that specialises in 4x4s in Cornwall preferably as close to St.Austell as possible.
Thanks in advance

Failing that bridge road motors in st austell have always been fair with me, never had them do any specialist work though, but for MOT you should be fine. Regards,

Last post was 24th of may, seams they have gone more towards parts sales and acsessorys then trading vehicles, on that side of the buisiness , perhaps that's why folk think they have closed.
they still list as doing vehicle MOT's 
I would ring them tomorrow if I was you. Let me know how you get on Regards,
Matt

Ok so I phoned them today mid Cornwall 4x4 are now only trading as parts dealer however the MOT and servicing side of their business has been brought by the garage across the road (Kevin Orchard I think) still the same staff just that side of the business are trading under a different name for some reason. I'm going to book in with them for an MOT for next week.
