Are there any mechanics on here?

My MOT is due soon and i really don't know what to expect and the problem with that is the garages will be able to tell a mile off that i haven't got a clue and then screw me and i wouldn't even know they have done it.

I know my tyres are fine cause they were brand new when i bought it in september.

I know i need my handbrake fixed cause it stops right at the top and you can't lift it once it has stopped

My brakes can sometimes be a bit gritty and squeaky after the car has been washed.

The lights all work.

It's Y reg clio with only 56k on it. But at the moment i only do very sort journeys with it.

A few of the fire guys at work do some car stuff on the side and my SIL is going to get them to look at it pre MOT for me and i know they won't screw me over but i need to know what to expect before i put it in so they don't screw me out of money i quite frankly don't have
