Hi Folks,

Does anyone know of a good indy for my e90 330d in the Trafford, Altrincham, Sale, Stretford area?

Previously have used Darren Wood in Bredbury but needs somewhere a little closer to Old Trafford area.

Cheers,
Stuart

Not really close to where you are but David Paul of Warrington are good.

I've heard good things about this place (but never used them personally)...

I used to be in Chorlton and used Darren Wood religiously, now we've moved 50 miles away I still used Woods religiously.

You WILL NOT find a more thorough, knowledgable, honest, no BS, place than Woods in Northern England, so count yourself lucky you only live 5 miles away!

How much closer do you need?

RagingKileak · 11-09-2012, 08:05 PM

+ 8 million for Darren Wood. Don't even dream of going elsewhere seeing as you're so close - they are in Stockport.

Trafford to Stockport isn't a big deal - it's only 10 minutes down the M60. If you've used Derren Wood in the past and been happy with it, I'd make the effort.

Soon as my warranty's up I'll be doing the 60 mile round trip to Darren.

i live in manchester and have used bmtec a few times - there okkk but a bit pricey really as there in city centre. i used Baymow in stockport, top top top guys great advice and to be honest would defo always use them. they did my brakes for me and checked out a few other queries. was very impressed. and they came recommended from an online forum (a different one from this one obv)

chrismanchr · 12-06-2012, 07:56 AM
