Graham Martin BMW 01744 735993

I took my e34 sport to them today with some front clunking issues great service they diagnosed the problem that 3 other garages could not find. It's now booked in next week to be fixed, it just shows they no there stuff, the guy who runs it it ex 10 years BMW technician.

The prices are extremely fair and I would recommend to all northwest zoners.

And before "sniggering", it's "where", not "were".
