ANyone know a good independent specialist in Buckinghamshire?

Hello

I've just moved to the High Wycombe area and I need to get a bit of work done on my e34 M5, and don't trust the main dealers, or like paying £130/hr labour... Does anyone know a good trustworthy garage anywhere round here, preferrably that would be familiar with the e34 m5?

Thanks!

Jack

There is a guy in Rickmansworth who is not bad. Drop him a note and have a chat.

I live in beaconsfield and have used munich motors in wokingham for the last couple years on my 5, and cannot recommend them enough. Their labour rates are about half of what you have just quoted. Also, refreshingly, they dont preach doom and gloom about how much a repair will cost or sting you with extra charges at the end. I have come away from there several times having paid out a good chunk less than expecting to! virtually unheard of in the motor trade!

They do have a number of e34 m5's as regulars on their books, and there is always something interesting in the garage to have a peek at.

Hope this helps.

John
