    IWS In fairford are the cheapest place for tyre round here, and regularly does half price MOT's if it is tyres tho you can spread the cost a bit,part worns are only 20 quid each usually and will do you a little while
    And as mentioned euro car parts are very reasonable for parts, i got drive shafts for 56 quid each!try find that anywhere else!

    taking it to somewhere else you can expect them to inspect what it failed on as it will pop up on their system. you can find all your cars (or bikes) MOT history on the .gov site, including minors. useful when looking to buy a motor as well.

    Qtech in Chippenham is good - used to be in Melksham, been servicing & MOTing my cars for years. Up on bumpers farm and John is usually happy to take cash for a reduction in price

    Yep, I'll vouch for him too and so will a girl at work who has been going there for years.

    £50 for a fuse does seem quite cheap ladies ;D

    Shop around for tyres as there are always deals, buy your own discs & pads and then get them fitted. Even a 10% saving is money back in your pocket
