Recommend a good Indie in West London/.Surrey

[volvos60s60]

Hi. I am in Walton on Thames & need a good Indie in West/South West London or Surrey for maintaining my Z4. Can anyone offer any good recommendations based on presonal experience?

A little further west, but I have always used Chris Plummer in Aldershot for my BMWs. Have always found him pleasant, knowledgable and competitively priced. BMW Master Tech. It is just him though, as far as I am aware, so he always appears to be booked up for a couple of weeks

I recently used AMC in Tooting www.amclondon.com for a brake fluid change for my 2003 E46 330i. They seemed very efficient and like they knew what they were doing and I have heard good reports from them. I intend to use them when my next service is due.

Phil Crouch at CPC Performance Engineering Ltd in Amersham knows his stuff. He works on my 540i when I'm unable to do so and I know of atleast 5/6 friends (that are Phers) that use him too.

Edited to add - I travel from West London to take my car over to him.

Birds Autos are pretty much the bees knees for anything BMW, and especially the rarer v8s and M cars. Based Pinner/Denham way.

Another vote for Birds. They are in Iver so only about 15/20 miles away from the OP.

I travelled all the way from Chesterfield as they were the only place that seemed confident fitting an M5 paddle steering wheel to my car. They did it while I waited so I spent about 4 hours in their waiting room watching them work. I couldn't fault them.

I'd vote Birds as well.

Not cheap by any means but the work is of a very high quality.

Also they have no interest in selling you something you don't need. You will always get very straight and honest advice from them.

I would far rather take my car to Birds than any BMW main dealer. They are just more knowledgable strange as that might sound.

i've not used them, but http://www.kmautotechniks.co.uk/location.html often get a mention.

I used Boxer Motor Works on Feltham for my 540 and was pleased with the service. They had a few newer and more exotic BMW's on their ramps too.

Chris did a fair amount of work on my 328 he was always nice, quick and cheap.

Thanks to all those who recommended Chris Plummer. He sorted my car today & I found him helpful, genuine & reasonable - a good find
