ForresGlanza Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Hi guys. I phoned the garage up to book an MOT and explained to them that I should only need a basic idle test as my car is an L reg GT. The mechanic said that he wasn't sure without checking his paperwork and said if thats the case I need to take some sort of proof but what can I use?? Quote

_shaun_ Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 my local mot garage said i had to get a letter from toyota lol then i said cant u just check there handbook and they guy told he he didnt have to waste his time looking in the book because i hadnt book the mot yet Quote
james@cjperformance Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 If they need to ask you to get proof they have no clue what they are doing, go somwhere else don't let a muppet mot your car Quote
ForresGlanza Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 Tbh he didnt really seem to have a clue. Tried to tell me that only cars registered before 1992 didnt need a cat. Then I pushed him on it and he ended up saying to bring proof. Can't seem to find anything online. Thanks Starbuck i'll probably say that when I go in although I don't want him thinking i'm being funny. Just want the car MOT'd soon as I've got a mines ecu on the way:D Quote
