No, you just have a shite dealer who hasn't got a clue. Murketts look after loads of cars and are fully aware they're tracked yet apply common sense to claims, worth the journey.

Sounds promising,

Although first time my car went in there were no issues, they replaced exhaust temp sensor, and viscous fan. My fan fell off, I complain then next time my car goes in the techs become arses, not rocket science.

I will be trying somewhere else, which murketts are you guys talking about?

Are Murketts BMW still in BMW business ??? Last time I drove by (about two weeks ago) there was a Sea of Vauxhalls on the forecourt and NOT a single BMW in sight + all the BMW Murketts insignia is gone, replaced by Vauxhall Murketts. I hear they've lost the BMW franchise. Have they moved ??? What's happened to them ?

the site in Huntingdon is now a Vauxhall dealership but still has franchise for BMW service and parts (not sales)

i think the story went that BMw were going to force them to expand and build bigger aqnd better with seperate Mini but Murkett thought it was not worth it so resisted. They dumped him as a sales site just prior to the recession so Murkett is probably counting his blessings

Service staff and mechanics have hardly changed if at all.

I've heard from a reliable sours (ex employe) that most of the staff have either left or have been made redundant. As for Murketts loosing the BMW sales franchise, I hear it was due to irregular sales patterns and over exuberant discounts on brand NEW BMWs
