Good independant garages near Reading, Berkshire?

Mon Aug 10, 2009 11:39 am

I have been trying to get hold of a place called South Bucks BMW Repairs who were based in Marlow, Berkshire. They have done work on the car before and I wanted to go back to them.

Both numbers that I have (from old invoices and the net) are dead though!

Does anyone know if they are still trading? If not, can you recommend anyone else?

Thanks, but that's the number I have and it doesn't connect. Also tried a mobile that I have on an old invoice.

That would be good if you could Simon?

Just after a few basic bits, front brakes, caliper service, ARB drop links and a once over to see what else needs addressing.

Hi, dont know if it helps you, but I am in Newbury and have always used The Car Clinic who are a long established Bmw specialist over here, they have looked after all mine and my familys Bmws over the years not to mention all of The independent Motor companys (Aldermaston) cars Dating back to when they were the premier importer of used E30 M3s, if its broke on a BMW, I would expect they have fixed it at some time, including major mechanical work on everything from M cars to Alpinas and everything else inbetween, I dont work for them but I should mention that one of the owners is a friend of mine, (didnt know him until I took my car there all those years ago) but just to some up, surprisingly affordable, and in my opinion, like having an honest BMW dealer to call on. Ask for Matt or Steve (01635) 529582 hope this doesnt break forum rules and is not considered advertising, just thought I would recommend a good company whom I know well

Another good independent BMW specialist is Munich Motors in Wokingham. Two mechanics (and owners I think) run E30's, one an M3, although they do all types of BMs. They look after my M3 and M635 and are very helpful, even talking me out of work they thought wasn't needed. Their number is 0118 977 2236.
