BMW Specialist

[Cotty]

Can someone point me in the direction of a decent independent BMW specialist in or around the Kent area. I just have an E30 but needs some TLC.

Thanks

I used Unit 5 in Whitstable a few time when I had my E46 M3 - always did a good job.

ETA Motorsport are the chaps that I used to use. The owner is an instructor at Brands Hatch and his work on my old 635csi was always impeccable (and more than reasonably priced).

Might have to give ETA go.

Good stuff. Brands is just on the other side of the road, so if you time it right, you can stroll over and see what's going on at the circuit whilst Jeff/Geoff? fettles your car.

If you're further south like me then BMS in Dover are also very good.

No im inside the M25

Marco at Fully Loaded Cars knows E30s inside out.

Based in Tottenham.

I've used Crago in Dartford and BMSport in Bexleyheath...

Both very good but had a better impression of Crago got chatting about BM's for ages! both are BMW specialists and very clued up

Another vote for Geoff Weeks at ETA. Been working on and racing BMW's for years.

Slight thread hijack but any local to Ashford at all? I see Unit 5 in Whitstable mentioned so may give that a look-in, but something closer to home would be even better.

Bit of a thread revival but any recent recommendations? Will be looking to get my 130i serviced soon (when possible) and my water pump and thermostat changed for preventative maintenance too.

Just recently needing specialist BMW knowledge and a waxoil, I used http://www.bmrperformance.co.uk/
No exactly handy from Kent as they are Crawley, West Sussex. I just get a cab from there to Three Bridges Station, then train into London Bridge and go to work. Pickup in reverse.

Their Facebook page show the range of BMW cars they work on and also MINI.

When I picked it up they put it on the ramps and walked me through a few things that needed doin on my 1992 E30, great guys and very knowledgeable

Lovely job

Thanks both! I've used H&C Maidstone before when I had my MINI GP and they were very good so I'll likely go back to them if the price is right, but always good to be aware of a few other local garages too that people recommend.
