I've heard good things about Sterling Services on Preston Farm also although I've not used them myself. I can highly recommend D W Motorworks at Winlaton Mill ,Dean is excellent and knows these cars inside out.

You'll have to forgive Dean he is basically a one man band and can be hard to pin down as he's very busy. Stick with him trust me he is worth it.

If not BMWorx in Darlington also has a very good reputation.

I've used DWM and TA and both are excellent and I'd recommend both without hesitation. DWM is much cheaper as he has / had less overheads but it's a bigger drive for me...

Cherrym,
I'm not a million miles from Durham area. If you don't mind me asking, how much did he charge to sort your roof motor?

I know he's been through the mill a bit for the last 6 months or so with I'll health, that and trying to get a new workshop set up. He has sent out a few apologies via his Facebook page as he knows things have got chaotic.

I’ve used Sterling Services with all my BM’s and MINIs for years. He’s a great bloke and would whole heartedly recommend him! He’s called Nick.
