: Independent servicing?

I'm posting this under 'Dealers' though it's really about servicing. As my R53 is out of its 5 year TLC now (shall I extend, hmm) I need some minor work doing - binding rear brakes, corroded rear brake hoses.

After trying to ring Berry Heathrow and not getting any reply at all (they used to be good once before they were Berry), I wondered whether to try and independent. Is anyone aware of any independents in the Twickenham area or ~20 mile radius? A quick google search isn't showing much of any use.

"Epsom Car Care" are my MINI & Mini friendly local independent garage but may be too far away for you. :)

If you want to stay within BMW, try BMW Taplow not far from Berry Heathrow. Their service have been quite good!

Cheers mab01uk!
Triv - I've been thinking about them. I did eventually get a call back from Berry but it's 66 quid 'diagnostic' charge before they even touch it so I, errm, made my excuses. I'm gonna take a look at checking out the pads myself.
