I suspect if you reported this to VOSA the said garage would get a visit and probably a check that they are doing there job correctly.

We all used to know of garages that were less vigilant than others but over the last few years this has been clamped down on. I know of one that would pass anything with wheels and looked OK a few years that was shut down after VOSA put a car in for test that passed and it had several ''dangerous'' items that is should have failed on and it came out without even an advise.

I know some people get very upset when there cars fails it annual test but this is a minimum standard and it should be viewed on that this keeps the roads that we all drive on safe.
