Good Service

I'll start it off with Rydales BMW, a main dealer, obviously.

I have never had any dealings with these people, but my little bruv has just bought a mini from them, it has a slight problem, so they have found him another mini with dual controls ( he's a driving instuctor ) to lend him.

That has to be good service by anyones standards.

In Evesham area I nominate Robert Stern and also my current dealer Baron's of Farnborough.

I've had lots of help from Snows BMW and Bellevue Ford over here on the Izzle of Widget...both garages looked after my car when she was with previous owner and both have helped me with queries...Bellevue Ford even let me have the missing dashboard plexiglass that had been ordered for her 2 yrs ago but never collected.

Milcars (when they were around) Watford and Temple Fortune 

Stephen James - pretty good service team there, 

Sytner City/Stratford - good servicing, a terrific bodyshop, and (if you find the right guy) a parts department willing to deal.  A shame that despite being in Zone 3 they charge the same as inner London dealers - well over �100 an hour.

Fawdington Newcastle and Sytner Leicester - both courteous and professional.  Especially as their labour rates are considerably lower!

Hope this helps...

I regulary use Trainers in Swansea for my servicing, and have always had a good service, the only things they reported on last time was a fogged up foglamp and small coolant leak, so no attempts to make me spend more money. Car always comes back cleaned and vac'd too!

They're parts guys are great to deal with too, always got time for you no matter what BM you drive.

Errrr would be anyone we know would it ????

I would like to recommend:

Munich Legends - very nice helpful chaps and know their stuff inside out PENDING UPDATE!

Ocean BMW in plymouth - sales are well, sales, but parts & service top notch!

Cooper tunbridge wells - very good parts dept, helpful and quick.

Sytners in shirley - gave me free hour in workshop when passing with a problem.

I can thoroughly recommend BMHeaven, just ordered some bits from Paul and spent ages on the phone chatting about BMW's. He is obsessed, just like us- top bloke!

If we are talking about main dealers for service then Lind of Norwich servicing and parts departments are very helpful and offer a great care orientated service. Prices have been surprisingly good for what you are getting.

regarding local garages and specialists then i would recommend bells marsh road garage in gorleston (near gt yarmouth) as a very competent garage who between the father and son team know a hell of a lot about cars and more so about performance ones. Very competitively priced for the area and even throw in little jobs free (on different occasions).

Regarding service provided for parts bought from non main dealers then Motormec has to get a big mention as they are mad about BMW's and offer a good quick and reliable service for anything they cover and also willing to put themselves out to find out more information about parts they dont currently offer.

David Paul independent BMW specialist in Warrington - always had good service, reasonable costs and they never try to rip you off.
