Excellent service by the team, switched from the main dealer a few years ago. B and M Centre maintain all of our cars. Dropped the car off with a wheel stud issue, Received a call within 20 minutes, saying all sorted. Amazing service. Thank you.

I have used the B&M Centre for over 10 years for repairs to my E46 BMW?s that I have owned. I have found them knowledgeable, honest and very fair with what they have charged me. The B&M Centre have always repaired my cars to the highest standard; better than taking my cars to the main dealer. I have been so impressed that I have recommend them to a friend who had his BMW Mini Cooper?s radiator replaced at a lot less cost than a main dealer was going to charge him. I would highly recommend the B&M Centre to anyone who owns a BMW car.

This garages like to cowboy stuff.Agreed 3 weeks ago to get an AC regas and dye injection. I went up there personally to explain him what I wanted as I do all work myself and he agreed and everything seemed okay.I arrived today and as I recapped our prior discussion he decided he doesn?t want to do the job.I have mechanically restored the car to factory specifications and out of respect to the environment (greenhouse effect of AC gas) I thought it would be better to leave air conditioning work to the professionals.The car is mechanically restored and I have have all the seals, pipes and condenser ready I just wanted to rule out the compressor leaking and then come back and evacuate the AC gas and do the work. And pay for every visit of course.On hindsight I?m glad they didn?t touch my car as in one of our previous phone calls he suggested that I should bring it in and he will glue together a broken exhaust shield. That exhaust shield can be bought for £37 brand new from the dealer and he thinks it?s a smart idea to put glue on a hot component next to the exhaust. What a muppet.I?m a degree educated engineer and when I work on my cars I follow the manufacturer repair procedures.I personally would suggest other garages such as BMR performance who have gladly helped me and also know I DIY the car and I also recommend the Arden Maidstone dealership in the area as they do really good work as well.Also his garage doesn?t have a four post lift which means when he does suspension work he can?t torque it at ride height. Also jacking up each individual wheel isn?t good enough.For cars like a F30 Plug-in hybrid I would also suggest to take it to Arden Maidstone, yes it was dear and cost us 2.4k as the entire rear axle needed to be dropped to get to the AC line to the HV battery to do it but the work was carried out promptly and 3 years and 90k miles later it still blows cold.Either way, using hot glue close to exhausts is one of the main reasons a lot of Ferraris caught fire. I would not recommend taking your car to him if you?re in the process of doing any restoration work on older cars he?s a muppet and talks like a construction worker as well and probably never read a book when you read his website. He might be dyslexic and it?s not his fault but still.Thanks but no thanks for wasting my time.

Went in at 16 50 before closing time. Explained the issues with my BMW e46 white blue tinge smoke when throttle on idle. Also explained the code I've been getting. After couple of seconds the gentleman explained and diagnosed valve stem seals and quoted me very quickly. Free of charge. Thanks for the advice. Good place if you want experienced mechanic.

My BMW had the dreaded ?Drive Train? warning light come on. I rang BMW who told me it could be many things, don?t drive it and first available service appointment would be in three weeks. USELESS!! On their advice I rang B and M at Chatham and they were brilliant. Fitted me in the same week for a diagnosis, gave me a good idea of the problem and fixed it within 24 hours. They kept me updated all the time and the repair came in way under estimate. I couldn?t recommend more highly. Will definitely be going back again for our regular services.

Last weekend i had my bmw 5 series touring 2018 brake down. i took the car to this garage , the next day they tested it for a good affordable price and saw that there was an issue with the EGR which would of cost alot of money to replace however they recommended i go to bmw as they said it would be replaced for free. they were correct and when i sent my car to bmw it was fixed for free which is why i would recommend this place.

Have a BMW F90 M5 with a coolant leak. Main dealer not only had a 4 week wait but wanted to £120 just to look at it! Phoned these guys on the Monday, they said bring it Wednesday. When I got there Ed looked in the engine for about 3 secs, diagnosed the problem straight away and said they would try and have it done by Friday. 8am Friday morning got the call, it was done. Including repairs, parts, labour, some other things I didn?t understand and an MOT it was barely a couple of hundred quid, and it?s running like new. Ridiculous value for money. Don?t bother with main dealers, definitely come here.

I flagged up an error message with the BMW dealership multiple times and each time was being reassured there was nothing wrong. These guys called me within an hour of dropping the car off, having the problem identified with options and quotes on how to proceed. Quick, thorough, and well communicated. Actually listened and delivered excellent costumer service putting main dealerships to shame. Haven't had the issue since. And will return this month for another service. Highly recommend them.Professional attitude, good honest and transparent service. Oh and good pricing. I will stick with them as my new go-to.Service: General repairs & maintenance

I used B&M Centre today as i didn?t want to pay dealership prices for my full service and vehicle check. BMW quoted £450. B&M Quoted £360 using genuine BMW parts. They updated my idrive system and stamped my service book. I Can?t fault the service i received, I Dropped the car off at 10:00am by 12:30pm it was ready to collect. Why pay dealership prices when you have people like B&M specialists. Thank you very much. This review is deserved. See you next year for my vehicle inspection and brake fluid change.Regards MartinServices: Air & cabin filter replacement

Had rough idle issue on my E91 318i, that 3 garages including BMW main dealer were unable to resolve. Not only did they diagnose just from my verbal description, but also did a superb job in fixing it. Particularly liked the fact they regularly gave progress reports and certainly can't argue with their pricing. If you need some work done out of warranty, don't even think about it, this is the place to go.Service: Engine repair
