Default Service recommendations Milton Keynes area

Hi Guys,
My SG CSL has a BMW warranty on it so need to go the BMW for service work (the routine stuff anyway), any recommendations for BMW dealers in the MK area?

Thanks,
Darren.

Last thing I want is to start off the age old argument about "stealer only" servicings to maintain the validity of your warranty but I'm going to.

Seem to recall Indie maintenance is acceptable and doesn't invalidate your mondial cover.

Thorney MS was once a reputable company....not been for a number of years.

Yep Ben is correct,you don't need a main dealer service nowadays to keep your warranty

and just read the warranty booklet:

"1. a) Care of the Vehicle - You must keep Your Vehicle in an efficient and road worthy condition and regularly service it in accordance with the Manufacturer’s recommendations and genuine parts, or parts of equivalent specification must be used.
b) After each service, please ensure that the relevant service details are completed in your service records by the servicing garage and obtain a receipt for the service. You must keep all such receipts for reference in the event of a claim."

Bartlett Auto is the obvious choice, however they're not local to MK.

If you want to take it to a BMW dealership, then Sycamores in Peterborough are where Gareth (of Bartletts) recommended to me personally. There are under 30 master technicians in the country and they have three .

MT Steve Scweikhardt did the cams on my car for the warranty and did a fantastic job on the car .

Around 60 miles from you. I travel 85 to use them.....
