Guildford/Surrey Indy recommendations?

Post by Carnage_Cannon » Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:44 pm

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good Indy they've used around Guildford area or nearby? Need to get a simple oil service done and would like to know which places are good so that I can compare prices between the main dealers etc. Also if anyone's got any experience with Guildford Vines, then it'd be good to know if they are actually worth using. Been in a couple of times to look at parts and stuff and they haven't come across as the most helpful. :)

Cheers, Chris.

Barkers Motor Works in Hindhead is fantastic. A few of us on here have used them. It is run by an ex Master Tech from Barons.

I used Charterhouse Garage In Godalming for my Z4
Prad is the owner and is very knowledgable about all BMWs
He has replaced a few hood motors and other niche aspects of the Z4

Carnage_Cannon: I can recommend someone on outskirts of Windsor, give me a shout if you want the details. I know it's not in the Guildford area but incase.

I work in Godalming so Charterhouse Garage would be a great result for me. I thought they were more of an all-round garage rather than just a BMW indy?
