Been on trial stage3 since early March-running both systems in parallel.No problems,except doc pack came late & reorders take ages.Now completed 200 tests.We are a high volume site-booked 2 weeks ahead.Ave time for tests & paperwork 40 mins.The key is-make sure you can get as much veh detail.i.e Model(Rt.XSi,etc,5 dr,man,eng No) before logging on.Best way is insist customer brings in V5 & old cert or get assistant to get as much detail as poss.This takes on ocassions 10 mins to get details into PC before even testing.Other tip if it fails get client to leave car for repairs-then you can fast track retest.Best way is service or quick check before starting.We now chargefull fee for retests that have left the site after all this will take another 40 min taking up a slot that we can sell for £42.10(we turn away loads of MOTs.I mmore than willing to pass on any advice or experience we have gained
