41 miles

did you want one at the end of your street??   :P

you are lucky to live so close to s2smarts - i travel there from bristol

s2smarts are the best independent in the UK (IM..and many others...HO)

failing that, just go to your local back street garage or DIY....a service is a service (plugs, filter and oil)

Indeed, the service items are no different on the forfour to any other 'conventional' hatchback BUT you will not get the diagnostics from a non smart specialist.

Definitely worth the trip to S2. It's only an hour from you.  Make an afternoon of it and chill with some coffee and Top Gear.

You never know, you might bump into someone else off the forum while you're there!

S2 don't do mots themselves but have a neighboring garage do it for them. You'd have to book times with 2 different organisations if you dont want to leave your car

Errr   no !  Rob books it for you if you tell him you need an MoT at
the time you book the service.  Diary for S2 is roughly 2+ weeks
in advance, with Saturdays 3+ weeks.
The 'neighbouring' garage for the MoT's does not do cheapies..
as they are the 'training ground' for VOSA who are a stone's throw
away and do drop in out of the blue...sometimes 'diguised' ! !
