Bird's Uxbridge
Just wondered what people thought of them for servicing, they are very close to where I live - £530 + VAT for an Inspection 2, fair price?

Bird's were actually used by BMW on a sub-contract basis. I know this as my M5 went there as shown in the service book (has the birds logo and the BMW next to each other). Can't imagine things have changed too much, you should be fine !!!

Re: Bird's Uxbridge
I use them as they are not far from me - excellent engineers - they know what they are doing, and the labour rates etc are reasonable.

The "downside" is they are thorough, so they will point out stuff that a franchised dealer would miss (in my experience), so you will get the choice, but may end up spending more than you intended to make your car right.

Downside of maintaining a "classic"
