MOT Stations

Taking my car for an MOT Test soon--
I usually pay about 50 quid for a test but noticed a few places charging 30 and that place on Penarth Road by the Bridge charging only 20.
Is there a catch --ie do they find more things wrong and rip you off that way or get funny with the re -tests.
Wheres a good cheap place to take oldish cars

I'd be interested to hear anyone's recommendations. I'm sort of window shopping for places to take the car for an MOT. Just want a reliable and cheap as possible MOT.

Personally
I would avoid MOT stations which also carry out repairs full stop. whats saving £20 on the mot when they are going to "find a fault" which they can repair.
Avoid "CWIC VIT" (NAME CHANGED TO PROTECT GUILTY). A s twice they quoted me £800 plus for a job that either did'nt need doing or cost me £4O.
I use a guy in Pencoedcae Pontypridd who charges £55 but no garage affiliated, sensible on things like bulbs gone and you know your not being taken for a mug.
I live in Caerphilly so must be worth the journey

Andrew Wilson Motors in Dinas Powys charges £50 for MOT
What you get though is a fair and honest test carried out, been going there for years and never had a nasty "surprise"

I charge £40 for a mot with no retest fee
If it needs bulbs or little things like that I just do it with no extra charge.
