Need To Test Trooper Commercial Shankill/Bray Area

Hi I have used test centres in Ballymount and found they will fail on the stupidest things.

Looking for somewhere near Shankill or Bray that are good as I need to get done asap for tax.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I bought a Trooper 3.1 in Gorey last winter. It came with a newly issued Cert. (1 month old) Shall we say that the mechanic/tester didn't spend too much time underneath before writing out the paperwork. Both sides CV joint gaiters needed replacing, brake pads and disks all round needed after a few weeks. PM if you need this garages address!

Thanks for the reply guys.

It's not me trying to get a heap of scrap through have spent a lot on it and any other 4x4 I've had they have failed on really stupid things eg. reg plate obscured by less then 1 inch of bull bar only when right up at it and original window tint from when the jeep was bought on it for over 10 years and not limo tint and a lot more.

I had to remove factory tint from front windows for NCT it wasn't dark limo tint either. I believe the tint came from the dealer from new. But it still failed the requirement where in previous years it wasn't an issue.

But if your Jeep is really up to standard then any centre will pass it.

I hear many many people say their vehicle is well maintained and perfect but yet fails test because of a defect or something illegal.

Would you not be better off putting the jeep right rather than seeking a test centre that will turn a blind eye to defects and illegal modifications.

For some reason it reminds me of 50 euro being put in the ashtray so dodgy taxi's could go through the NCT
