Subframe fix BMW Woodstock

I have recently got my car back after having the subframe repair done. I was originally booked in at Elms Stanstead, but they left me high and dry with delay after delay, and I was less than impressed with the stories from others on the forum.

I ended up arranging my repair through BMW North Oxford. Their bodyshop is in woodstock, its actualy a Mini dealership out front. They did an excelect job, taking good care of the interior. I was kept up to date, sent photos of the progress, and the guys asked if they were unsure of anything (e.g., which brake fluid), which was reassuring as I wasn't in the country and fairly shitting bricks that the car would get trashed. A few cosmetic things wern't up to my standard, but they were sorted promptly the next day.

You don't need to go through BMW in Oxford, you can go to Woodstock Mini directly. Sounds a bit odd, but they do all the BMW body repairs in the Oxford area. The bodyshop manager is David Smith, and he is aware I have posted here. I think he said they have done about 20 cars so far, a few CSLs.

Will try to get some pics up at some stage, but just wanted to put it out there as an option as it sounds like the gong is about to chime.
