Hi guys, looking for some recommendations on where to take my 1999 M3 evo for servicing/repairs etc. My local trustworthy indy sees it for most jobs I can't do myself, but for inspection services/valve clearences etc I'd like it to go somewhere with plenty of experience.

I'm in the PE15 area and all the usual recommended places are at least 100 miles away. Any suggestions or experiences?

Cheers!

Warne Motors Bury in Bury St Edmunds are fantastic.
The biggest regret when selling my BMW was not dealing with them anymore.... but then they suggested they can sort out my Audi I was very happy once again.

They've done all of my servicing, disc and pad replacement, fitting of a Milltek that I asked them to piece together and fit, windows regulators (a pain of a job), and they even sorted out my 330's front bumper by sending it off for plastic welding rather than going down the replacement route.

On more than one occasion they've put in more effort than they billed (getting the discs off my S4 was a mission) and they always do a great job. Highly recommended smile

James, you've got the same post code as me (PE15) so we must be neighbours of sorts! Personally I've had a bad experience with Benstens in St Ives, (Changed the serpentine belt on my E39 and left a 18" chisel on top of the viscous fan cowling, then shut the bonnet, Denied all knowledge of it afterwards. I knew it was them as I'd popped the bonnet previously to top up the fluids so they don't charge you the earth for water! I didn't own a chisel like that at the time, I do now! This was a few years ago and I've not been back since.

Barlett on St Peters Road in Huntingdon I have heard nothing but great things about though.
