Recommend anyone for MOT and Service please?

Post by TheHerd » Fri Oct 07, 2016 9:19 pm

Hi chaps,

My MOT is coming up in November and the old girl needs a good service too.
Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced and trustworthy Independent, Service Centre in Hertfordshire and surrounds?
I am prepared to travel out a little if need be.

Figured I might as well have it properly service and pre-MOT checked before actually having the MOT done.

Any assistance and advice on a 2006 BMW X53 30d?

Cheers
Ryan

Hi

You could got to Jason at BwChiptune at Hayes or if you want a bit more local the garage I used in Hitchin for my E53 was the autservice & tuning centre Sg5 2tt and tel no 01462 459459 ask for Claude or little Ben

Very good service and look after my X5 and the 135 convertible



Hope that helps
Graeme

Thanks Imy, think I'll give A1BN a go.

I'm not entirely sure how well my X5 30d was serviced by the previous owner so was thinking of giving it an Inspection II Service, is that the most comprehensive? What other things should I do as a precautionary, gearbox and diff oils?

Don't think they do inspection 2 for diesels, just for the petrols I think.
