Cool Anyone from southern part of Northern Ireland?

Who knows of a reasonably honest garage that will do an MoT and a limited service on an oldish car of mine that is currently in Dublin and needs a British MoT? Thanks, David

Hey guys - that's really helpful so thanks a lot. I had planned to ask my son just to get a ferry back to UK so I could take car to my usual garage over here but couldn't believe ferry costs - about £200 return and then there's the fuel from Holyhead to Sussex

Will call you Mr Yellowevo

Bear in mind you don't take cars to garages for MOT's here. It has to go to a Goverment testing station. Like the one's in England for commercial vehicles. All computerised so not sure if a car not registered in the UK would be accepted?? Maybe yours is UK reg ?

Thanks for that. Yep I got a bit of info on MOT testing stations. Car is UK registered btw. A NI MOT is recognised as valid in UK but as it's a different agency is not on the UK database so you can't tax on-line for example. I am wondering if it show up on a police check over here? dl

Its recognised but can a non-NI registered car be tested? Id always assumed not, other than on its chassis number - whichll keep you in touch with your local constables.....
