URGENT - need garage recommendation Milbrook Beds

[Kentish]

Folks - my fan just disintegrated on the M1 near Milbrook Bedfordshire.

I have 2 toddlers and wife with me and 3 bikes on way too Centre Parcs!

I can get a single recovery only from AA; got roughly a 3 hour wait for them.

Home is about 140 miles away.

Can anyone please recommend a good garage to recover to?

BMW independent would be great but not absolutely essential.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys!

Is Northampton quite close then?

I have used APS a lot in the past & they are excellent.

About 20 miles north of J13 direction is NW along the M1 from J13.

Bedford is 10 miles NE of J13.

All sorted out by the time we left to come home

New radiator, fan, fan cowling, drive belts & a pair of cables for one of the doors as that stopped working after it was frozen.

The AA chap took us to a garage in flitwick that he recommended & he did a trip to the supermarket & waited for us & then took all our bikes to our destination which was nice of him.

Garage he recommended did a good job & the bill wasnt too bad at just under £600.
