Trainers are v good imho. They pick you up , drop you off if you need it and keep you informed of progress. Ive had 3 services done there with few probs. They charge £80 ph on the labour which isnt completely outrageous, but pricey none the less. They will always ring you on the mobile and clear the work beforehand which is good and no pressure. I have had a few niggles, but they always give the car back spotless, whether its an oldie or a newie.
The other service i had was a rydale in cardiff (now sytners). What a piggin shambles. My car had warning lights on after the service and it eventually cost me over 500 notes to sort out. Lots of appaling reviews on the web of these idiots. They completely fooked the car on an inspection 2.
Apparently there is an independant in swansea called bryn motorworks which is supposed to be excellent, but you dont get the official dealer stamp of course. I cant find where he is tho. Apparently opposite trainer in swansea.
there is another indy called south wales bmw specialists, on the way to the m4 out of swansea. Avoid these as well. They didnt reset the service indicator on mine and tried to get me to spend lots of cash on faults which were advised as insignificant from trainer. The rudest service you will get and they will con you out of a few quid in quite an aggresive fashion.
Trainer are you best bet if you are after an official dealer in s wales i reckon.
The latest one i had done was holland park in london who i thought were pretty good and were very eager to please, despite the servicing being completely free on an e90 330i.
