I don't mind a little travel for the right people doing my car .
I have mot,d my cars at the same place for 8 years although it's a 60 mile round trip .
Good honest mot station![]()
Havard said:Defo consider this after the experience I had locally. I did use a BMW specialist in Wigan for a power steering pump but someone put 60 miles on the car and pressure washed the roof leaving the tell tale marks. At least there was more fuel in it than when I left it but never again.
I was looking at getting M serviced by my mate in Conwy as he works at BMW but is about 160 mile round trip.
I am not far from Radcliffe so it would be nice to know what an Insp I would cost at 56K miles. I service the 330Ci myself but that is worth nothing compared to the M so service history is not really considered.

Going to get her tomorrow as I had to collect the 330 Ci from an exhaust place this afternoon. Mark seems very good from the chat I had with him and the car only needed an oil service as it had Insp II last time.
Lets see how she is when I collect her.

Havard said:Picked her up this afternoon and she seems fine with an extra litre or so of top up oil in the boot. Not sure how much an oil service would be at BMW but I am happy with what has been done and he has had a good look at the fault logs and listening for Vanos issues etc.
