Nice and easy process.. Only took a few hours. All genuine parts used. Very good price for gearbox services as I was quoted 450. Full service including sleeves. Anywhere else was 595Posted on Google mk ndlovu21 February 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely great service from start to finish! My BMW X6 went in for a timing chain replacement, and the team truly exceeded my expectations. Not only did they handle the timing chain perfectly, but they also replaced the oil pump and pulley + belt — I only paid for the parts. Very kind, professional, and clearly experts at what they do — timing chains for BMWs. They stick to what they do best, and it shows in their work. Highly recommend 💯Posted on Google Amar Amar18 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Taken my BMW in for a problem I had for a few years , had loads of mechanics look at it even BM main dealer couldn’t find what the fault was. These guys fixed my problem, car has been running even better then before. Highly recommend, will be going here for engine repairs for sure, Thanks guysPosted on Google luke wallen22 October 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took my BMW 4 series M Sport to them for a timing chain replacement. Where I was being quoted thousands of pounds to get my timing chain replaced these guys repaired the timing chain and oil pump and rocker cover at a great price. The repair was excellent! and they keep you posted at all times, and they are quick at what they do. I'd definitely recommend and use them again... 👌🏽Posted on Google Kris 944 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Here goes as I dont normally write reviews, As the point of making contact I was like most people flicking through the reviews etc.. as you do. Upon phoning naz the day before taking my bmw to him today, got an appointment the next day early morning ( was perfect time ). Talked me through the procedure of dpf/egr/stage 1. As im oblivious to these types of things, rest assured there began working on the vehicle. Customer service : Top top customer service, so welcoming, talkative ( as I waited for my car ) no means of transport back home, even gave me a chair to sit on outside the workshop which was handy. every step of the procedure was explained. Went above and beyond to even checking oil and other aspects which wasn't even mentioned prior to booking. He was taking short breaks in between and still managing to make conversation. Honestly I could be here writing a book, Overall top guy, very knowledgeable, welcoming, down to earth guy. Keep it up brother! Smashing it! Bmw 520D ( Bk61 *** ).Posted on Google The Hussain’s Star18 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got a timing chain, swirl flaps and egr job along with gearbox and engine service. Everything from start to end was class leading service. Nassir is very knowledgeable and easy to speak to and kept me updated along the process. Can’t recommend this garage enough.
