Any mobile BMW specialist around Chard, Somerset

[instigata]

Hi all.

I may have found a Z4 in Chard, Somerset. Its almost 150 miles away from me, so was wondering the best way to save myself from making a long trip to find out that the car is no good.

I tried looking up BMW specialists close by (Fritz etc.), however, no one does a mobile service. Anyone know a mobile specialist close by who might be able to make the trip?

Thanks.

I'm in Yeovil, whilst no expert happy to take a cursory look.

And this is why this forum is amazing

Thats an awesome offer, however, still quite far from you. Will keep this post in place, just in case someone knows a specialist and will PM you.

A colleague of mine uses a well known BMW indi in Yeovil called Eden motors and really rates them, they may know someone even if they can't do it themselves. Worth a shot even if the reviews are a bit OTT

No worries, let me know. I have some time towards the end of the week.

Thanks Ewazix - they don't seem to have an email address, will call them tomorrow.

@marchantsuk, thanks again. I did respond to your PM.

Not much help but my girlfriend lives near chard and up there a fair bit, do you have a link to it? I may be up there this weekend if you wanted someone to have a quick look. The Eden recommendation would probably be a good one I haven't used them but have heard good things. All the best with your search an hope you find a good one. It can seem like a long frustrating search but the right one will come up in the end.

Hi again.

Called Eden motors, but they don't do mobile service - would need to book it in with them.

Liam - thanks for the offer, I am hoping to pick it up on Saturday, you are more than welcome to witness the occasion Aaah..the bit about the frustrating search.. I thought I was alone..

Are the roads passable?

Haha.. awesome.. I couldn't get to work in Reading today (live in London). So knowing if the roads are passable would be a good start too.

Thanks for pointing that out.

You could book an AA or RAC inspection and they will check the car out for you - i recommend the comprehensive one.

Good luck!

Hi again.

Thanks - I was going to get the AA/RAC to do it. Decided to do a mini-HPI. The car came back as a Cat D, inspite of asking the dealer.

Quickly found another in Bradford, everything checked out, travelled 6 hours up and 4 down on Sunday

Maldives blue it is
