Hi here in Sheffield we were one of the first stations ,that was on trial, stage 1,2,and 3 from october / november last year, then we went live on 1st of august,since we have gone live we charge £42.00 for class 4 test and £42.00 for retest if its a full one. Now the problem is this,we got a station a mile down the road from us and they are charging £25.00 for test and £5.00 for retest. what I would like to know is why the hell these stations are making the f*** up of it all over again,when customers came in it was perfect excuse to say that the system has gone live and we got to do the full test and it takes a longer time. But now they come in and say what about him down the road hes also live (rather be dead). I think we got the problem in this trade we like to cut each others throats and our own they'll never change. I personally thought that when the system goes live it will change but I dont think it ever will, I know of garages that are logging cars in for 50 minutes and doing other repairs in between. I have personally sent a email to steave tonks and told him what was going on with there new computer system . I been told by vosa that they have the system in place and they are monitoring garages very carefully. I hope they are,and take tough action against those garages that are not following the rules. I feel very strongly it is unfair to all those garages that are doing the job right by the book and then there is a few a**holes who spoil it for all the rest of us. I just don't understand why people want to cut on mot prices when we are allowed to charge and recharge again again and again its not my fault if someones car is not going to pass its test, It's there car there problem I've done my job now,they should have there car fixed properly so it dosen't fail the test 10 th time same week. sorry about the long post but I can carry on all night here and rest of the week about this subject, come on test centres wake up do the job by the book and charge by the book. I shall tell you this much now those who are not doing the job right there days are numbered, I know for sure they have the system in place to watch the rouge traders thanks jav
