Good Indy near Newbury or Reading required

Hi All, can anyone recommend a good BMW indy around the Newbury/Reading area?? Service light has come on so it's time to take it in and all the stealers round here are worse than useless from personal experience.

Might be a little way from you but I cannot recommend Iridium Engineering in Southampton.
I've never experienced a garage that is as good as they are

I'd highly recommend TWG in Camberley if that's a workable distance too.

Hi Andy, yeah that would be do able and I'm pretty sure I've used them many, many years ago when I had a supercharged Civic Type-R. If it was them they were operating out of a ramshackle garage in arse end of no where somewhere around Fleet & Virginia Waters. Service & knowledge was top notch though but they seemed much more motor racing orientated back then.....if it was them.

My mum used to use Grosvenor on Richfield Avenue in Reading.

I will also be going there when my service is due. Although apparently there quite pricey

Another one Ive heard of in the area, I think its Wokingham is Munich Motors.

Both BMW specalists

As I'm in that area if you have any feedback when you do use somewhere I wouldn't mind your feedback

I had removed my seats without disconnecting the battery first so I had all sorts of lights on my dashboard. Went to Grosvenor they wanted something around £65+vat, said no thanks!

Went to Munich Motors in Wokingham, very knowledgeable chap. Cleared all the errors and if I remember rightly they only charged me £15!
