I stopped going there when I mistook the MOT date (my fault obv) and turned up a day too late and they just said the MOT was yesterday


When I asked why they hadn't contacted me when I didn't turn up, as I could have had the car there within ten minutes, they had no reply.


So now I take it to Dells in Handler Road.

Seconded, I've always found the guys in there really helpful and they don't try to rip you off by making you spend money before you need to. My last MOT and test my back tyres were getting worn but still good enough to get through the MOT and they said that given the low mileage I did, they thought I would be able to wait until next MOT to change them and just told me to come back sooner if my mileage went up compared to prior years.

On the basis of this thread, I picked the Dulwich Test Centre on Tyrell Rd for the MOT & mini service which were done yesterday. This is my first car/first MOT so I was a bit worried about the cost. It is also a second hand car which I purchased about 5 months ago.


I found Paul and his brother very professional, reasonable and very reliable. As mentioned in the previous thread, they don't try to rip you off and recommend what needs to be fixed in the future. Of course, this wasn't anything urgent but what I liked they did not put any pressure on me to have it fixed by them and straight away. They just made me aware of the issue and let me to decide which I appreciated.


I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.


Kind regards

+1 for the Test Centre in Deptford. Have been 3 years in a row with my 18yr old BMW convertible. They are very reasonably priced, thorough and efficient. As Alec1 says, they offer a free re-test if you fail and do not do any repairs, so it's in their interest for you to pass!


The only fault they ever found was a broken light bulb - the one thing they can fix for you - which they did for ?2.


Last time I went, I happened to go to KwikFit a couple of weeks after for a new tyre, and they tried to flog me all sorts of 'fixes for problems' that would soon fail an MOT. Told them to take a hike :-)

    • Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this.
    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
