MOT in Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen
 

Hello All,

Can anyone recommend an MOT test centre in Aberdeen / Aberdeenshire?

I tried Shirlaws but they have quite a backlog at the moment!

I stay in Banchory if that helps.

Thanks in advance! :)

Cumminstone? couldn't find it...

It's somewhere near Ad53ggz, not sure to be honest.
From what I heard, you don't want to take your bike to S'laws for an MOT.

I use H&S Motors in Jopp's Lane (behind John Lewis). Unfortunately due to sad events, they are opened Saturdays only. Give them a call on Saturday.
I used them 3 times, great service :smt023.

Cumfy should be able to advise you on Banchory, other than that somebody on Aberdeenbikers is recommending Central Garage in Laurenckirk.

And welcome :thumleft:

Re: MOT in Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen
 

The Garage at Leylodge near kintore is nae bad. Heell do it while you wait aswell. Been a few times and never had any probs fae him (apart from the obvious I forgot to sort before the MOT :rolleyes:) Not tried the station garage in Kintore but always plenty of bikes waitingg for MOT there

Also theres the guy in the car park in Alford, hes new but sure he does MOTs.

And think thats the nearest to us Buncry folk.

Re: MOT in Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen
 

Thanks for all the suggestions fellas, i'll get on the phone tomorrow and see what I can sort out. :)

Re: MOT in Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen
 

What you got? And where abouts in Banchory are you any way? Just out off curiosity :)

Cuminestown are good, past new deer by about 7 miles, great road out too. Cameron autotech 01888 545230

Re: MOT in Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen
 

yeah **** really should have used common sense and used the garage name as big steve says http://www.cameronautotech.co.uk/motorcycles.htm

1999 Curvy SV650S, stay round the corner from Tillybrake park.

Re: MOT in Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen
 

hi Andy, welcome, I use H & S same as Dyziowg, only cause it's just round the corner from my work and if there is an issue you've got sillets and ecosse near by. As Sheps said, the place he uses will do while you wait.

Am up in Forestside so just round the corner from you. Any time you want a run, give me or Sheps a shout, both in the village!:D

PM me and i'll send on my mob.

Cheers

I use Cameron Autotech in Cuminstown too, good bunch of lads, good prices on tyres, will do anything for you, patch tyres, change tyres, servicing, all bikers too I think!

They don't mind fruity cans on the MOT too :)

Re: MOT in Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen
 

Thanks again all, just waiting for new chain and sprockets to arrive then will book MOT next week, don't fancy getting stranded somewhere random in case it fails as the chain is looking a little long in the tooth (;)).

Don't suppose either Cumfy or Sheps have the fancy tool for the job and the know-how to use it? Otherwise I think i'll leave it to the professionals!

Re: MOT in Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen
 

Andy, I am useless with the tools department, I would have to hand you over to my official mechanic, Sheps, lol.

He can usually sort most things in his garage, just be prepared to buy him a couple o beers in Skinners or a carry out.

Cheers

Re: MOT in Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen
 

changed the chain and sprockets on my old bandit a couple of years ago, easy done!

Re: MOT in Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen
 

Yeah I have the tool but bit away if sheps doesn't

Re: MOT in Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen
 

Ive got 1 somewhere. If you want i can give you a hand over the weekend. Im down Beech Tree Road so nae that far if your wanting

Re: MOT in Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen
 

Thanks for the generous offer :thumbsup:

To be honest I doubt the chain and sprockets will arrive by Saturday (only ordered this morning), and I'd feel far too guilty taking up some of your weekend what with the weather we're having (surely you'd rather be riding?).

Besides I believe "the boss" has plans for me on Saturday in town.

However if you're sure you don't mind I might give you a shout on Sunday if you're not too busy... I hear you can be bribed with beer and stodge...

Re: MOT in Aberdeenshire / Aberdeen
 

If they dont arrive by the weekend should be free most nights to fit them. If they do im sure ill have a free minute or 2 over the weekend to help out.

And beers always the best payment espetially with a pub a very short walk away :smt081
