My e36 323 Cab needs a service and a few other bits and bobs (RTABs, ABS light on, 4 wheel alignment, general check of mechanical condition). I've always had it done at a garage in the Midlands where my dad used to take it when the car was his but they weren't brilliant the last time I used them and it's a pain tying it in with a visit to the Midlands, especially if they need it for a few days, so looking for something closer to home.

I have seem a couple of garages recommended - H and C in Maidstone, and ETA Motorsport near Brands Hatch. ETA appeals as they are closer, but do they mostly deal with performance stuff and track cars? Not sure if rolling in a slightly rusty 323 cab would be the done thing!

Any experience of these two (or others that are worth mentioning)?

ETA. They do plenty of basic boggo servicing on daily drivers.

Scotts Performance Cars in Dartford are specialist in BMW - Did an inspection 2 on my E46 M3 and seemed pretty genuine.

BMSport in Bexleyheath; I've been using them for about 7 years to look after all my BMWs and wouldn't consider going anywhere else.

I take my BM's to Scotts in Dartford, have used them for years - they specialize in BMW's but work on anything.
