Toyota Specialists In Midlands - Failed MOT
Discussion
Hi,
My rev4 MR2 has just the other day failed its mot. A couple of local garages have already said they wouldn't complete the work as they deem it as "specialist". Does anyone know of any reliable and ideally reasonably priced garages in the Midlands (Staffordshire) that specialise in Toyotas, MR2 or similar ilk?
Or better still, anyone here actually do this for a living?
As a final point anyone hazard a guess to an £estimate? After a bit of research I'm thinking a lot.
front anti roll bar linkage
drivers side seat belt anchor corroded
exhaust
drivers side strut bearing
passenger side rear park brake "little effort" < which has pissed me off because I spent several hundred on brakes and brake servicing about 6month ago
Many thanks!

Closer to home - http://ww.mr2oc.co.uk/component/content/article/44...The corroded seat belt anchorage is going to be your biggest headache. The rest of the list are easy fixes.

Besides, why stop there when you could go all the way to Woodsport? 
Thanks all...I'm not taking it to Barnsley though haha
And yeah, that was the very unexpected one. I knew the anti roll needed attention and expected an advisory, same with exhaust (money last month
) but that was the one that made a certain body part twitch when the garage mentioned it over the phone.

Its no different than before technically but I want tokeep my never been pulled over record.
Spoke to Natahn at Mr Twos, what a nice guy and sounded much like an expert on the phone. Knew every problem before I finished each sentence and even the seat belt was a no worries one for him. So its off there near the end of the week. Can't wait to get it back! The company crap box and my mothers ever so dull Honda I'm borrowing are grating and I want the release lol.
Many thanks guys!

!Well that went well, the car is currently, effectively elctrically (Dick Van Dyke style) dead.
Not even going to guess whats happened here, like most electrics probably something very small but overall incredibly frustrating.
So not at a garage and now sat somewhere near the house. Still, at least it can't get knicked.
