Anyone have any recommendations for a mechanic in Lytham/Blackpool/Preston areas?

I need a bunch of stuff doing (cam belt/w pump/thermostat/exhaust back box) and don't have the time or facilities to do it myself

Cheers

Try Howard Motors, Preston 01772727552. They are dedicated to BMW and Mercedes. He looks after both my 330 diesel and my E30 325 convertible. always uses genuine BMW parts and labour rates are very reasonable.

I was put in touch with Andrew at WLN on another thread and got recommended two places: Auto mirage 01253 734743 and Motortune 01253 696206.

It's going to Auto Mirage for the mech work and I'm going to ask them about the odd bits of body work I want done then.

Cheers for the replies, fellahs. We've got a good little list of NW Lancs shops here
