Better to go to an independent imo, plenty of them also do cheap MOTs as well.
That. They charge so little for a mot because they WILL find something wrong and then make their money from the "repairs" needed.
A good genuine independent garage is the way to go. Might be more expensive but will more than likely pass and at least you are supporting you're local garage rather than a major company who won't miss the money!
+1
There was somebody on here who had their car fail on what was effectively lies.
Ive also heard of KwikFit failing people on tyres etc, yet 'throw away' the old ones before any inspection is possible. Not only is this against trading standards regulations (all replaced parts have to be readily available to inspect and/or retain unless otherwise stated by the customer) but also sets alarm bells ringing IMO.
As said, independent garage any day of the week
