Urgent BMW mechanic in Kendal. Please help!

[Phil-E30]

Hi guys,

Need a bit of urgent help. My parents were on a road trip, heading back to Scotland to get the ferry home to Ireland. Long story short, my dad's E91 has an overheating problem. Water pump and/or thermostat needs replacing. The car (and my parents) are in Kendal and I need to find a good mechanic to fix the car for them.

Any help and contact details would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks

There's Lloyd BMW ( Used to be Batemans ) just outside Kendal - http://www.lloydsouthlakesbmw.co.uk/

Thank you for that! Certainly close enough to Kendal. Do you know of any indys? I think my dad can source the parts and BMW labour charges will be extortionate.

Naturally, he will do what needs to be done to get the car fixed! And I really appreciate you helping out.

Sorry at the other end of the county so don't know any indys

No problem. Appreciate your help still and maybe someone knows an Indy.

These guys aren't far from the BMW garage that Metal Licker suggested

Can't vouch for them personally but my cousin has bought a couple of cars off them and always goes back for any work/servicing.

If you can wait until tomorrow I can ask a few guys at work that live in the Kendal area for a true indie - I'm about 35 mile away

Thanks for that Obewan. It would be great if you can ask for any other indy's. My dad will be making calls in the morning, so if you can get anything early tomorrow, that would be great.

I had a mobile number for one of the guys - he recommends this garage

Brilliant, thanks very much for that! Will certainly get my dad to call them.

Pistonheads list of indi's, members have added them so hope they are reputable.
