If you took your scooter in for an MOT & it failed on a certain issue.......THEN the shop offered to fix it for you - would this set off alarm bells.??.

Depends on the shop.
Id ask them to show you in detail the problem before deciding wether to have the repair done or not. 9/10 I can tell wether they are BSing or not but Ive never had this issue really as Im very friendly with my MOT tester and he knows not to muck me about ;)

i went to a garage onetime for a puncture when my main garage i use was closed and they took 2hours to sort the puncture

2 bloody hours then charged £27 for the labour and fixing so never be going back to them
And with a puncture kit off ebay for less than £10 and the use of my tutorial (coming soon) you will never have to pay again ;) takes all of 5 mins to do

Its real simple once you know how. Takes less than five minutes and no, tyre stays on.
Ill do a thread on it now.
