After calling them frequently for info I finally bought something at the Main Dealer in Shrewsbury, Godfrey Hall. Very friendly and helpful for my E28 bits, dizzy cap, rotor arm, air filter. Prices good and they give discount to club members.

I asked how much P&P was to Telford in case I couldn't get up to them and they said not to worry about that, they'd have them delivered to my door by Friday! Best service I ever had from a dealer, but then I've been used to Ford, Vauxhall, Volvo and Toyota and some were good, some were awful!

I'd like to recommend a Specialist in Stevenage , Barry Jones Autocentre , very helpful , took the car down for a quick bit of advice and was so impressed with the reponse I got I booked the car in for an inspection II service the next day , got her back and the problem had been sorted but a new small one occured after the service where she was leaking oil , one quick call and a run back there and all was sorted ....highly recommend Barry who owns the company and who i spoke to is an ex BMW mechanic and knows his stuff about BM's

I would like to reccomend a specialist i use in chelmsford essex called PMW as they are very thorough and always fit me in if i have a urgent problem that needs sorting ASAP.

The staff are always polite and the work carried out is always of a very high standard.

Peter mould who runs the business is an ex BMW mechanic and knows the cars inside out.

Only dealt by phone so far with Shrewsbury main dealer and Wolverhampton same, forgotten names.  Both been very helpful finding details out like can E28 (engine/VIN numbers needed) run on unleaded, prices and availability of parts, any alternative parts from another BMW that will fit.  Will post as/when I go there, also local specialist, Bobs Motor Works, told he's very good, certainly friendly and knows his stuff.

Just taken my car to Damon Hill (this afternoon) for the first
time. So far so good, service has been excellent. spoke
personally before taking the car over to the service manager,
he seemed to know the problem straight away.

And they offer 25% discount on M Series work



I've always used Godfrey Hall in Coventry, and had excellent
service from them too, trouble is they dont offer the discount for
4yrs+ cars in the M Series!

The E36 once went back for a cracked rear lens (just two weeks after I bought it) and they replaced it free while I waited!  The E46 had a tiny rattle at the top of the rev range (my wife couldn't even hear it) but Priory sorted it in minutes under warranty.

Tip Top.

Agree entirely.

David Guy - good bloke and a salesman to deal with.

Bought two E46 M3's from him now and he keeps me in touch with what is going on.

Got no service complaints either.  Top notch outfit.

Not bad, like i say, its more the fact they are very straight forward to deal with. One example was when i took the e39 in with a weeping transmission cooler and as I'd already diagnosed the problem and partially stripped it (I had to so that i could verify the problem) they dropped some of the labour off what it should have been. The recent ABS problem I had was the same. They were really busy at the time but still found time to run it up on the diagnostics there and then so that they could tell me which sensor was faulty. I only popped in on the off chance to book it in. They knew that if i knew which one it was I'd do the job myself so it was more than fair of them.

Can't compare prices with any others as I would not entrust my pride and joys with anyone else.

Cheers

It has to be Vines of REDHILL for me, everytime. Their parts department are very helpful, especially locating parts for my 89 325i Convertible.

Their sevice department, likewise, is superb. They've looked after my 5's for the last 8 years and I've never had a problem with them. The car always comes back nice and clean and to say they are honest is an understatement.

Can be located on the Brighton Road in Salfords Surrey, soon locating to just up the road to Bonehurst Road.

I put my M3 in for a few bits and Phil Crouch (sorry if Ive spelled it wrong) of CPC Auto Services (@ Birds) did a brilliant job!!! Im very happy with his work and the man himself. He's a really nice guy that knows his stuff and even dropped me off and picked me up from the station....you dont get that anywhere!!

Cheers mate!!
