Independant BMW servicing - North West England

[duckson]

Any recommendations for independant BMW garages in the North West of England, particularly Lancashire but will consider other areas?

I've found the following but dont know if they are any good!

Not used NorthWestBMW.

Only used David Paul for diagnosis and bit of servicing work on the M5s, but they seem trustworthy enough and were happy to diagnose without charge - bit of a pain to get to/from if you have to leave the car though.

Linwar are good on older cars (pre-1990), but I wouldn't take anything newer to them. They turned away both my 1994 and 1990 M5s, so won't bother with the Z4MC.

There's BayMoW in Stockport, but I haven't been there for a while as their ///M specialist left (http://www.baymow.co.uk/Site/Welcome.html).

There's also BMTec in Manchester (http://www.bmtec.co.uk) - but I'd never use them purely due to their annoying website.

I take mine 240 miles down to my (now) friend in a little village in Essex (Darjac Racing postcode C06 2PG - call Darren on 07807 689538 for full address).
