We had a MAHA atl installed last year in our second garage,yes it was expensive but its good
there were a couple of teething probs but sorted quickly,they aim to please at maha
the scissor lift is very rugged & fitted with remote shaker plates & secondary lift for w/free service,The beam jack is air operated & a dream to use,brake tester is fully auto & the machine whilst weighing axles also tests & prints shock absorber results ,awesome for "knocking" noises,saves loads of time road testing!
we also have a "slip tester" fitted ,as you drive on it gives toe out/in readings ,lastly the beam tester Gives instant pass/fail on the monitor ,no mistake,all printed off on 2 sheets a4
once again expensive but long term i hope worth it,plus it looks the business.
complete calibrations are 900pa
On the subject of B2 planning we had the same issue,MAKE SURE THE PLANNING APPROVAL CLEARLY MENTIONS MOT TESTING, ours didnt & vosa require this on the application form,it delayed us considerably hth
