If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing

I'm going to JMF Motor work on Friday for an oil service. They are just out side of Birmingham, on the way to Walsall.
I had been looking for an indi since my BMW warranty ran out and these had been recommended by a couple of people on a ' M' forum I'm on. I've spoke to the owner and he very knowledgeable and an ex BMW tech. He has an M3 himself and is knows a lot about the S54 engine and also seems to be up to speed generally on the Z.
I thought I'd get a oil service done to see what the premises and service is like as I need bearing shells and an inspection 2 doing next year.
I'm happy to report back on my findings on Friday.

Hi, can you give any feedback on your experience with them? Looking to have some work done on my BMW and they are very local to me. Thanks.QUIKSTER wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 6:58 pm I'm getting my water pump and thermo change over done this Friday by Rich at The Works Mini & BMW Specialist, based in Shirley, Solihull.

He's happy for you to get your own parts and he just charges for the labour, which I think is £60p/h
He runs his own workshop, so no palming off work to some young apprentice.

Patrick_g46, not the garage you asked about but have you considered Crackley Garage (in Kenilworth) or Autotech Warwick Ltd? Both are quite near you:

I had positive experiences with both, albeit back in 2014, when I had an E46 compact that needed a lot of work. I used to live in Coventry. Crackley Garage in particular was very good.

I have used Autotech in Warwick for many years on Series 1's Z3 and Z4 and more recently an Audi A3, its limited opening I think at the moment, 3 days a week but I've always had excellent service at good prices and only genuine OEM parts. Ant runs it and Gail in reception are both very helpful but always busy.
