It is quite common.
And it is a 2-way street.
The dealers use indys for MOTs, overflow, unfixable faults, specialist or niche work, often on older cars.
The indys use dealers for technical info, often on newer cars where less data is in the public domain.
Every industry on the planet uses hidden outsourcing and overcharges for it. For example, Apple sells an expensive £1000 iPhone, but it's made by a cheap Taiwanese company in China for peanuts. It's the way the world works, nowadays.
an iphone says made in china on the back of it. its not the same thing at all.And it is a 2-way street.

Nene Overland in Maidenhead (used to) farm out their MOTs to AlfaAid.
I know this to be true, because I once saw my own car being looked at when I went to grab a sandwich from the shop opposite one lunchtime.
That woke me up!
In other news, AlfaAid is an amazing place - they've currently got x4 Alfa SVs and a host of other gorgeous old things lying around. One of these days that is going to be an expensive sandwich....
