Inspection 2 service In or near Surrey

[Ruebdo]

Hi guys

The car is on 22k miles and needs an inspection 2 service.

Anyone got any recommendations in the Surrey area, or nearby.

I want to keep the main dealer history. The car originally came from Stratstones in Tring and I was thinking of there.

Thanks

If you want the very best CSL specific, expert service, Elms in Cambridge http://www.elmscambridgebmw.co.uk/ would be worth a drive North from Surrey :thumbs:
Speak to Emma and ask for Gareth to work on your Cecil (£799 all in for Inspection 2) and do mention you got your recommendation from CSLRegister.

Now Specialist Cars -01442 890666.

Richard Roethenbaugh is the Service Manager.

Specialist Cars have a much bigger place at Stevenage.

Elms/Murketts, the other alternatives.

I hate Spec. Cars at Stevenage

What about Munich Legends?

What about Munich Legends?

Are they an authorised service centre?

Take the car to ELM's only place :thumbs:

With all due respect, Murketts BMW are not what they use to be as most staff from the good old CSL fame days (2003-2011) have departed and/or moved on in the last 12 months.
As far as I know Murketts no longer have any M trained mechanics/technicians on staff :banghead:

Why ? They are the nearest to you. 'Hate' is a strong word, what happen there Shimmy ? :whistle:

Thanks for the update. They were so good at one time with Andy, Adrien, Gareth, Daniel (?)....

Well, I hate going there. Nothing untoward just don't listen, like robots.

I suppose that happens when a place is so big...

[mattCSLnut]

Indeed they were :thumbs: I have few invoices + service stamps in my CSLs Service book to prove it :beer:
Gareth and Daniel are both M-Techs @ Elms Cambridge now hence the Elms recommendation :beer:
BTW, lets not forget Anthony :whistle:

[shimmy]

Nah

Happens when you employ the wrong people and the the wrong person incharge.

Elms are big....

I would echo these comments above from Matt :smt023

Ruebdo - My CSL is also on 22k miles.... and I also live in Surrey!

It has only ever been looked after by Murketts, from now on it will be going to Elms. I know it's a bit of a trek from Surrey, but it's worth it.

Fair enough Shimmy :thumbs:

Understood, and yes Anthony of course :thumbs:

Aren't they the biggest ? :smokin: but it's the right people with the right attitude that make it great :thumbs:

[E46CSL]

Nah
.. and the the wrong person incharge.

Who should I be steering clear of ;) PM if you like.

Don't get me wrong. I just didnt like them 3-4 years ago so maybe all has changed:smt055

Not sure what Shimmy's beef is but this time last year Stevenage wanted £1500 for an InspII + brake fluid..................

There are always good to me for parts.

[Ruebdo]

Cheers for the advice guys.

I will call Elms and Murketts in the am and feel them out.

I've never seen another CSL in sunny Surrey. We're are u HFLagos?

Cheers

[s.mac]

keep the mileage off and get it on a car trailer/transporter, Gareth and the guys don't mind taking them off at that end :thumbs:

I think Murketts is all Vauxhall now with now proper techs for the M stuff

[Ruebdo]

Looks like Elms then.

Can I supply the oil?

[mattCSLnut]

If you ask them nicely, you can ;) Just make sure it's the right stuff :smokin:

yes you can, Bounce is another tight arse who does this :whistle:

[E46CSL]

Does that affect the warranty?

[s.mac]

nope, has to be BMW spec

Bounce normally gets it from parts (from the dealers) as its cheaper, the service guy's charge additional for carrying it from parts to the car ;)

even cheaper from Opie oils with club discount and their monthly offers

[Bounce]

yes you can, Bounce is another tight arse who does this :whistle::hahaha::hahaha: i get it from Opie oils and its saved a small fortune over the years.;)

[Bounce]

Does that affect the warranty?No,not if you get Castrol Edge 10w-60 approved for BMW M cars.;)
