£612 probably...........but I'm sure every indy would love the average KF quote to be double that......then punters would be even keener to seek out a 2nd opinion or say once bitten......
Anyone passing through Leeds should drive down Gelderd Road just on the citys edge and have a look at the KF glass palace right opposite the Bentley and Aston showrooms.
£145 for a full service and £30 for a MOT is a attractive price point............and its all about getting em on the ramp ;D

I pay £42.50 to my old work, they have a varied trade struture depending on how many tests you go through a month, I do about 30, my mate with garage top of town does 50 + gets them for £40. Other guys with less throughput pay £45 . Full £54.85 to retail customers and they are packed out the door. Only one other mot station in town full price to retail, no idea trade. Another old work place 10 miles away full price trade and retail! They like their pound of flesh. I think there is a massive gap for another station here, did try to buy a bit just after xmas to do it but bankers computer said NO

One of the newish local sites has just gone on the front of the area advertiser at £29............I reckon they'll they be offering them free in a couple years !
Anyone remember that EU paper on MOT standardisation, was basically looking at leveling the playing field on transport costs between member states, dragging former eastern block operators into the western level costings, requiring HGVs to have a working handbrake and other basic requirements ;D
Anyhow, one suggestion was a 2 year test for cars providing they they had a intermediate safety check performed by a competent person. Thinking was the safety check would be offered free as they often are now. Test stations were shitting themselves whearas many indys thought otherwise...........failure would be recorded and notified to owner by competent person causing insurance and prosecution issues..........and it was nothing to do with vosa if the safety check was a little thorough............missed a trick ?

We charge £38 to trade and public, free retest! We also sub some out to garage round the corner who charge us £28 with free re-test. They charge public £40
We only have one lane!
I know the above sounds strange. They collect and deliver cars for £28. (300metres)
If it had not been for the rumours of testing every two years, I would have put another lane in!
