Recommended garage for Roof repairs

Post by obelix54 » Mon Jun 18, 2018 11:28 am

Hi,

Just to say I haven't got issues currently but should anything go wrong, I would like to take my car to a garage with plenty of experience with folding roofs.

I am based in Witney, Oxon and my local BMW independent can deal with all servicing & repairs but they usually avoid any issues with roofs.
They mentioned a specialist near Maidenhead but I cannot find it. Can anyone give me recommendations for anyone this side of London or the Midlands for for folding roof repairs ?

Thanks.

Some members on here fix roofs - I think dietcokeman does E89s and is around the Buckingham area. You can find his contacts by his screen name in the members section or wait for someone else to post saying I've got it all wrong and giving better info!

I have a fault with my roof, and I've struggled to find a specialist with knowledge who can help - I've contacted lots of specialists around the Bristol area and while lots are happy to 'have a go', none have worked with the E89 roof before so they all apply a lot of caveats that they might not be able to fix things :(

As a result, I'm booked in to BMW for my roof to be repaired at BMW prices. It's going to hurt. Lots. :(

djstan I think ducklakeview on this forum resolves E89 roof issues as well as E85s? He would be much cheaper, even with an overnight stay to get to him up near Manchester!

I would contact Dietcokeman on here. He done quite a few E89 roofs that I know of, including mine when th hall sensor went.

He's interested in wristwatches, too, obelix54, just in case you are as well. :)
