anyone get mot`s done by bmw ?

just wondered any pros/cons of it , its £55 at my local one so not much more than average, im thinking it might be nice to have done there as ive got so many parts from them and they all want to see the car

There shouldn't be any pros or cons apart from it being more expensive than a small garage.

MOT testers work for VOSA when testing a car, not BMW or whoever else they work for.

I have my 323i done at the dealer every year as it fits in with having the service.

It allows me to drive to and from the dealer if the MOT happens to run out.

The dealer charges me £35.

I used to be a tester when i worked for the BMW dealers i worked at.

As said it makes no difference other than cost.

I still take cars to one of the dealers i used to work for.
