Can anyone recommend a good garage for MOT's. I currently use Dartmouth Road Garage, they are resonable and efficent but was wondering if there are any others in the area.
There's Volkspares at the Sydenham Road end of Newlands Park
Tel 020 8778 7766.
Kwikfit do MOT's - there's one on the lefthand side of Sydenham Road going down towards Bell Green.
This lists a couple of local-ish ones also: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&um= ... sults&cd=1

I use Knighton Motors for MOTs myself, always had good service.
Here is an example: when I had an old shape Fiat Punto I had a hole in the lens of the rear brake light. I was expecting to have to have a new lens cluster fitted, which would cost about £60 for the parts, but the guy explained that as long as about 75% of the lens was there it would pass, so he used some tape to hold it together and blank off the hole. Saved mea good few quid.

Just wondering why you're thinking of anywhere but Dartmouth Road. Our car was MOT'd there today - been using them for many a year. Really good service and friendly etc. / flexible.
Nice link up with the crash repairers behind - so perfect for the bit of welding needed to be done to get the car through.
Good to hear of other garages with a good reputation though - but is there any reason to change?

If you want a proper MOT done, ie if your car passes you know it's been done to the letter of the law and things haven't just been glossed over so as not to upset anyone, the best MOTs in the area are done by Queens, just behind Homebase in Penge.
If you really want to know if your car is up to snuff, take it to them.

We used a garage in East Dulwich who were brilliant. Fitted us in a day after we called and did the MOT whilst my wife waited (because she had children with her). They've been recommended to us by my brother who has used them for ages.
They're called Dell Autos and they're on Hansler Road, East Dulwich.
