Might as well take it to kwik fit, imagine the enjoyment you'd get out of writing a complaint letter and sharing it on here.

Same here, if they are legit they don't mind.
Could just be i've had my MOT in the same place for 5 years and use there services when I get pissed off doing something.

Had my MOT last week. The garage is opposite my house so the car got there cold. They had the engine running for about 45 mins trying to get it to warm up before the smoke test, before the smoke test you have to agree to let them bounce it off the limiter for a laugh and let them check the oil level. The muppet checked the oil while the engine was still running and came in telling me my car had no oil in it. This confused me because I'm a male and know how to operate pointy things that go in and out of small holes. Anyway, I let him put some oil in it, but then after waking up a little bit more I realised the error of his ways.
Moral of the story, if they let you sit in the office because it's warm in there don't do it. Always watch what the monkey is doing to your car as I now have an engine that is over filled with oil and I'm £3 down because of it

Right heres question for the MOT guys.
What if it fails at Kwik Fit and he was to take it somewhere else.
Wont it be recorded on the system that it has failed prior to the test literaly hours before??

So what if they look at it and just fail it on the same stuff and more??
Might just think hes a chancer trying to get out of fixing it and hoping it will pass somewhere else.

if you dont give them the fail sheet they wont know will they. tbh most garages arent dodgy and to not give them the fail sheet from the first place would be silly as they can look at what the other place failed it on and give some advise.

If you know its gonna pass at your normal place,just take it theyr.
If not then try your luck at Kwik Fit.If it fails and is gonna cost less than 50quid to sort then your still gonna be saving some cash.
What have you actually done to the Puma to claim you have basically hand built it??Everything brand new etc??
