I'm a small rural garage so calibration costs affect my sole trader business a great deal ,just had my premier emissions tester calibrated today ,I'm locked in for the life of the machine which is outrageous I've only just found this out any one else had the same problem how the hell this is allow to happen is beyond me if I had know this before i brought this machine would have run a mile just imagine ford saying you can buy our car but you have to ford forever to get it fixed they would never sell another car ,I'm on to my mp and trading and statards to get this changed

Is it a new one. surely it must only be a fixed term contract 3 or 5 years. You must of been informed when you signed the deal.

If you were expecting it to be a couple of hundred quid a year it's not been that cheap for many years.
