Reply To: Halfords promotes FREE MOT to customers

[Steve J]

in reality it probably costs about or close to £18 for any garage to carry out an Mot, by this i mean taking into account the cost of wages to the Employee who does the test, equipment cost, insurance, heating and general overheads to run the place. so if they are doing lets say 8 or maybe 10 tests a day they are £144 to £180 per day in the Red to start. 5 days a week = £720 to £900 .
Now where is the common sense in doing that unless there is some kind of revenue scheme to recoup that amount of money. you do the Maths.
