Lee did my MV last year.

I got the TL done at John T's, just off the roundabout by Newton Abbot B&Q.

John Tremlett at Ashburton also has a good reputation for being fair, too.

That should give you enough choice 8)

I didn't realise he is an MOT tester! Where's his workshop/testing station? I wasn't aware of a bike test station here in the village? That could be handy 8)

MOT is due in July, always good to have a recommendation rather than pot luck.

Just checking, is this the place?
Worth putting in "Recommendations and Links" section?

I tend to use SP in Exeter, they have always been fair and the service I have received has always been top notch. I started to use them after I brought my first bike from there.

Even tho my zx10r is 11 years old now it has a full stamped service history, which I intend to keep going.

Cheers Jimbo

In a word - yes.
Although that photo doesn't show the units. Actually looking at that they haven't been built yet !

Dawlish MOT Centre
Do they do any work if required or are they purely an MOT test station?
