Car inspection services

[Beemer323]

Hello, just wondering if anyone can help out with details of a respectable agency I can get to inspect an e30 in Devon? I have a mate in London but he doesn't have the time to check it out (or the knowledge!).

Preferably someone with bmw/e30 knowledge is preferred!

Any help is much appreciated, cheers, Doug.

I am thinking of someone like https://www.car-checkers.co.uk/terms/van.php but BMW specific...any help?

Cheers, Doug.

if you are a member of the AA/RAC ect then thay will do it for a price

some charge silly prices like £150 upwards, i'd rather give a zoner like Brianmoooore or other walking e30 encyclopedia £50 beer money

If the zone wants a way to make cash, this is surely it
I'd certainly pay £50 to get a zone legend along to scare the living "£$! out of the shed-pushers you get on ebay or the trader.

I'd certainly want more than £50 to travel around the country all day.... the liability insurance wouldn't be cheap either...

Have you tried contacting a local independent BMW garage in the area? trouble is i bet most will charge £100+ otherwise it just isn't worth the trip...

Shop about with the rac/aa/greenflag etc as the same agent will come out
When i sold my tomcat turbo the guy got this chap out from greenflag , He mentioned to me whilst we were chatting he also did calls for the aa and rac if they were in "his" area

Whereabouts in Devon are you mate? I ain't no expert, but there's a few zoners down here that know a thing or two... they may well be along in a minute...

Firstly, thanks for your advice.

The thing is, I'm not in Devon and would need someone to check a car for me without me being there...I'd happily hand over a few notes for some quality information! Its a EuroMeister M3...I think I should simply be asking if someone could view a car for me...

Thanks again, Doug.

*edit

I had a look through rac and greenflag and I dont think they can provide exactly what I am looking for. So I had a look at the South West Region of the BMW club GB...might have to join up

Well there's not much point in asking people to travel all round, the joy of t'internet is that you can reach people all over. Anyway, just a thought. Everyone would want Ant or Brianmoore anyway
