E39 M5 Servicing near Leicester

[Sideways Rich]

Evening Gents, soon I'll need to get the beast serviced (2 green lights remaining), does anyone have any recommendations for an Indie/Specialist in or nr Leicester?

Ideally I'm looking for firsthand experiences, willing to travel a bit further for somewhere with a stellar reputation if needed.

Thanks

Is rugby too far to travel? OSC Motorsport will get some recommendations on here. I was pretty happy with their work.

Thanks, no Rugby is pretty local, any ideas what they charge for the following; oil service, inspection 1 and 2?

Thanks

Autotech in Warwick is who i use for my M5. The cleanest workshop i've ever seen!! I've had quite a few major jobs on mine with no complaints. They also have courtesy cars available too. Would recommend.

Thanks, will check them out, the courtesy car would be handy.

Down to 2 green lights on the service indicator (how long before service is due), any other suggestions for a decent specialist with good experience of E39 M5's?

I'm not averse to travelling a couple of hrs for a really decent specialist with good service.

Rich,

I used both when my M5 needed work. Autotech are almost main dealer pricing these days for servicing, so I go main dealer for regular maintenance. Autotech also failed to diagnose a failed diff bearing when I explained to them that I thought it was the issue. They were adamant it was a wheel bearing. Sure enough, it was the diff. No harm done, but no doubt I would have been stung for the replacement of a perfectly good wheel bearing had I taken their diagnosis and then in addition had the diff bearing replaced.

Despite all that, I'd recommend either, but try Onkar at OSC first.
