Read article in local free paper (delivered to all my catchment area!) headed Don't be an MOT Failure. It implied that we are all demanding work be done that is not necessary and that we are targetting female motorists. It contained references to Car Parts Direct and their Top Ten Tips and Checklist which can be found on their website www.carparts-direct.co.uk. You may find it interesting to visit this website and click on How to Pass Your MOT 1st time to see what derogatory remarks they are making about our business. Have any of you suffered similar adverse publicity locally and what do you think of their idea that drivers can repair their own brakes using their on-line video instructions!
