Cotswold BMW - Cheltenham
Always had good service from Cheltenham BMW so decided to get a price for a Brake Fluid change and Inspection 1.
Not due until September but getting them to do the oil and filter in June so decided to get everything done at the same time Brake Fluid change - £110 Inspection - £50 Oil Change - £68 (I supplied the oil & filter) Really good prices and have been assigned a master tech who works only on M cars, great for my OCD. Give them a try if you are local. Last edited by OneExtra; 05-01-2019 at 03:12 AM.. |

Shrewsbury is a Rhybrook dealership and is the absolute worst I’ve ever dealt with. The mechanics take the cars out and abuse them (I whitnessed this happen to my brothers M3) I also watched the valeting guys “J turn” a 640 in the car park. I wouldn’t buy a winning lottery ticket off them. Blue Bell Crew are far better.

£68 for oil change is just the labour rate. if you provide oil and filter. would be a 30 min job max, so expensive are BMW rates - £136 per hour!!

This makes an oil change £183 which is excellent especially as its done by the main dealer and recorded in the I Drive I think the labour rate on the Brake Fluid is reduced to £90 a hour which is not cheap but not the end of the world compared to about £60 for a non-main dealer. When selling the car having all of the work done by a main dealer in my opinion makes it that little easier to sell, plus you get 'goodwill' when needed a lot easier than not stopping with BMW. Given the cost to run these cars £30 a hour labour above an independent is peanuts |

When booking a service of any kind i find it's more straightforward just to go there and talk to them than phoning.Was quoted £73 for labour and the filter with me supplying the oil. |

I'll have to start anew as there's no sign of the one from Banstead there but a good neighbour told me that he knows a salesman at Waddon from his dealership days.
