Hi All,

My Cooper is now out of warranty and is due to have some servicing done, which isn't covered by TLC. I Live in Birmingham, To avoid dealer labour prices someone suggested I take it to a garage called NCB Autokraft in Birmingham, just wondered if anyone has had any dealings with them.

Thanks in advance.

Well if you end up using a dealer because your unsure then don't use Rydale central! They are muppets!

Do the few miles/minutes to the other dealers in the area. I can recomend Robert Sterns in Worcesester ... just 20mins on the motorway and they are right on the M5 J6

Thanks Richard,

Have dealt with Rydale Central in the past, find them very expensive. Hence looking for a new garage. Cheers for the recommendation.

Just to let anyone who may be interested know,

I went to NCB autokraft, (who are a BMW service specialist) in the end. They seemed a good garage, very helpfull, knew their stuff and didn't charge main dealer madness. Also as their a BMW garage they can stamp service books etc, for those who like to keep it all up to date.

well pleased.
