Any recomendation for indipendent garage in the Essex

+1 Bennetts.
Dropped a car to the garage next door and they were very polite, which is rare for a garage as I wasn't delivering to them.

I haven't used them as a new owner yet but they are certainly top of my list of independents

These are up by barley lands farm, i used these recently after my last Indy was abit of a let down when I needed some parts, all kinds of excuses etc.
 
PowerDevelopments in Basildon
Used them a few times, and good friendly service.

and again for PowerDevelopments in Basildon, they have done a great job on my brothers 3 series and great prices. i have not used then as i have not needed anything on the Z4 yet but they would be the first place i would go if i do.

I agree on the friendly service, top blokes infact but they made me wait well over a month for some brake discs for my M (which i desperatly needed as it was dangerous) when they did turn up they were the wrong ones as they had ordered M3 discs as they didn't know i had Csl discs on there, also Had a rattle on the drivers side front wheel, they said it was a "normal sound" sounded like someone had left a spanner in the wheel arch, not normal to me. Took the car to the new Indy after a reccomendation from a friend and the car was done within a week, fitted the discs, pads sensors checked all around the wheels and surrounding areas cured my rattle and only charged me £45 for it all.

But... When i had my 3l coupe they were very helpful, maybe they not to good on the M stuff I guess.

He definitely knew his Z4 stuff when I went there. The owners mate owned a Z3M iirc.

Not saying he doesn't, the times i took my 3l they were fine and provided and excellent service, just the experience i had with my M put me off them.
 
Not quite essex, but if you're willing to drive to Bexley (just by dartford) you can find BM Sport, which looked after my Z4 well.
It's an BMW specialist garage, and I would recommend it to anyone.
 
Powerdevelopments always seems to get good reviews although i havent used them. I did consider Bennets but they seemed very expensive. Pretty much main dealer prices.
 
@kevinkamal Is that the garage opposite the Edf energy offices on Lion Road? I noticed it the other day, would be very convenient for when I'm there.
