My daughters 2003 MINi Cooper needs a service and MOT - can anyone suggest someone local to Wokingham that will do a good job for a fair price?

Having said that... I only took it to them once to get a good look-over when I first bought it. I did the servicing myself. I always take all my cars there when they need work I don't want to do though. They really are good and are amazingly honest. They won't do something that doesn't need doing or charge you for something that doesn't need to be charged. Proper old-school garage with experienced mechanics.

If Camberley isn't too far away from you, then TWG Automotive are very good. They were recommended to me on here and also on several MINI forums.

+1 - just discovered TWG, they did an insp 2 on my Z4M - couple of bits spotted that will need attention, but at the next service. Very thorough and nice folks too.

+ one more for TWG.
Just did a cooling system refresh on my E46 - very reasonable and a good service all round.
They only do BMW and Mini and Will is ex-Sytner, but they are busy so you will probably be looking at 4 weeks to get a booking. (I think it's worth it though, and being busy is surely a good sign).

We use Cresswells up on the Finchamspstead road for our Mini Cooper

Have no complaints - very old school family garage.

Slightly late to this thread but I'm a long time user of Munich Motors (at Woosehill roundabout) for my M3, they do BMW and MINI, always had good service, as does a mate who takes his JCW MINI there.
