MOT & Service

petemc · 10-06-2010, 11:02

I've got my MOT next month. Normally I'd book the car in with Lookers, its a Corsa, and get the MOT and service done. They called me up and said it would be £222 for an interim service & MOT or £303 for a full service and MOT. Ouch! I was ok paying this before hand but then I was living with my parents so I had a bit more cash.

My gf has suggested a local guy who'll do it for a lot cheaper. My only issue is that I want the service book stamped for when I sell the car. I've always gone with Lookers so I have no real experience of anyone else. Do they do this? How important is it really?

My other question is do I need a full service now or will just the cheaper one do? I'm fully expecting the MOT to cost me more than it should. The car is 8 yrs old so theres got to be something up with it.
