McLaren MOT

[djacobs89]

Hi All - how do you get your cars MOTd? Do you take to specialists, or will most garages do it fine?

Is it not in sync with your servicing date? Mine goes to McLaren dealer for MOT at same time as service, as can't imagine taking it to an 'everyday' garage. But I might be being precious!

You realise your dealer just has one of the lower level mechanics drive your car across town (unsupervised which may or may not involve some ragging from cold) to whatever garage with an MOT licence they have an arrangement with. Who then treats it like any other car, and drives it back to your dealer. You're getting even less quality control than if you picked out your own 'everyday garage' and built up a relationship with the team.
