Hi

Can anyone recommend a good independant BMW specialist in Swindon or somewhere nearby?

Cheers
Chris

I have not found one, and asking around no-one can recommend me on either.

Stay away from the dealer as they are robbing bastids!!

Thanks

Mr experience at the dealer's has been very good so far - but I don't want to pay their prices for an older car I've just bought for the wife.

I found PC Autocare listed on another forum
http://swinnet.com/ibs/indexa.html

Website doesn't say much, maybe I'll head down there and check them out

I used to have my mk5 golf serviced at Ultimate Cars in Cirencester.

His partner specialized in only BMWs

They are both very busy all the time which is a good sign

Try them on 01285655755 it's not too far from Swindon.

I've used both & have had no issues. I currently use Ultimate cars for my E39. Keith is really good and will always try to save you money e.g I had a parking sensor go and he sources a black one and then had it painted because it was cheaper than ordering the silver one from BMW

Well I've booked in with PC Autocare next week. Seemed pleasant and knowledgable on the phone, I'll report back how I get on

Just to update - they did a fantistic job with my E46 M3.
Inspection 1 service and a full gearbox change done at a great price and a high standard of work. Really impressed and will definatley use them again.
