I need to get the CCV done on my E46 328i, and I was wondering if anyone on here knows a good garage that I can take it to?

I have been given the runaround by garages in the past, so it would be great if I could get some recommendations before hand!

Cheers smile

There's a place on hutcheon street. Never actually dealt with them but the girl behind the counter is tasty. (if she's still there, that was a while back)

Cheers, I walk past that place almost every day! Usually some tasty metal in there, will give them a ring smile

Anyone dealt with them?

Not naming and shaming, good work done. But it only seems you'll get their attention if you have a nice car. I'm not in a hurry to back but they do good work.

Iirc they prep PHer 'Red-211's race lotus for him.

Gave AW Autotech a call, they said it would be around £100 to do it which I am happy with.

BAW still haven't got back to me - and I read another thread on here and someone said they were to be avoided... Think AW will be getting the car this time!

Try giving a pained, searching look to a few other empty lanes before grudgingly trundling up to the poor girl with the longest queue in the shop cool

bet she she never suspects a thing

I am a big fan of AW Autotech having taken my e36 then e46 m3's there for all work.
Bavaria tend to want to fix car to perfect condition.
I don't want to slag them off too much as they did good job on my friends boxster but I know someone who put a cheap vw in for mot and was quoted 800 for the work, but got it passed for 150 elsewhere. Therefore I
would also consider car clinic in Altens as they are very honest.

Have to agree with above post, used Bavaria for a few years and every service / MOT the car required a pile of work which I don't think was all required.
Stopped using them a few years ago after their prices started creeping up to John Clark BMW pricing.
Good standard of work though.
