Advice on free MOT with AA breakdown recovery

I know that AA do not always come out that favourably in reviews but I really am trying to go for the cheapest most basic cover.There is a special offer with AA at the moment where you can get National cover and add on something else (I wish to add on home recovery which I quite wanted anyway) for £91.99 but you get a free MOT worth approx. £54 (and six free car washes but I'm not really bothered about that),I also would get £7.50 of Nectar points to spend at Sainsburys.I will need to get an MOT on my car in a couple of months so this is of value to me.The free MOT is with 'National Tyres and Auto Care' (www.national.co.uk) So my question is-if I were to get my MOT done with these people would I be potentially signing myself up to a load of hassle and possible extra expense for any work that could need doing if my car didn't pass first time?

    this service like most of there others , will be to trap you into having expensive work done in order to get there MOT. I advise a smaller independent garage

    National Tyres are similar to Kwik Fit, they will try and rip you off on work that does not really need doing.
