Recommend me an indie in SE London

[S Works]

Having just met a wall of ineptitude at Stephen James, Blackheath when trying to get an estimate for some work (£106/hr to diagnose a fault before offering an estimate), I'd prefer to use an indie.

I'm in Greenwich.
Car is an E92.

Problems:
1. Bonnet latch on pax side isn't holding fast
2. Headlight washer jet has gone from pax side & needs replacing

Cheers,
S Wks

Ha - I was going to ask exactly the same question later this week (having just picked up an E39).

Small world.

Martin Scott - Scott's Performance in Dartford.

If it isn't too far then GS Autos in Whyteleafe, south of Croydon.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Anyone used Brown Motor Works in Greenwich?

No wonder I've never noticed Browns before...

Seems like a bit of a one man operation but if it's a good one man then it could be very handy indeed.

Well it's off there tomorrow to see what they have to say. I'll let you know how I get on Ross.

Excellent, thanks! In the meantime, if you see a silver 540 pootling around, that's me (or the missus). Hmm...should I get a PH Smiley for it?

I have been very pleased with the work Clifton Oddman has done on my e46 in Brixton - he is a BMW specialist, not the cheapest but very methodical and reliable. Easy to find if you google him.

Bexley Motor Sports seem to get a lot of work from the chaps at BMW Car magazine. Anyone used them?

Ross, how's your 540?

Ha ha - that is excellent. Literally no fannying around with anything more than the most basic of information.

Well Browns were all good. Quoted me approx £200 for the work, which was then revised to £220. Eventual bill, £217 + change. All done in a couple of days, excellent communication and very happy with the work. Polite, friendly, helpful staff. Clean, compact workshop. I'd use them again.
