Congrats on finding someone you like BUT I do know a couple of people who had bigger bills trying to sort out the work the Mtec did wrong on their E46s.
I've never used them so will reserve judgement though I did get them to quote for suspension work on the 5 and they were dearer then Autobarn in Northampton. Interestingly the guy that set up Mtec IIRC used to work wih or for the guy who owns Autobarn. ------------- Gentlemen I may not have a brain but I do have an idea Past; E39 540T/E46 328CI/ E39 535/ E39 520/ E36 M3/ E36 318iS jet black Mtech/ E46 320d/ E36 318iS diamond black/ E36 318iS blue Mtech kit |

Interesting....Ive heard good reports about m-Tec if they are the company based on Moulton Park? Autobarn are very poor, used them 3 times now and wouldnt go back again.

I wouldnt touch Autobarn with a bargepole...that has also got nothing to do with me now living in Bath so its a bit of a trek!! I cannot recommend BMWorx in Aylesbury enough and yeah, I am half tempted to trek from Bath to Aylesbury for work on the car ------------- Gentlemen I may not have a brain but I do have an idea Past; E39 540T/E46 328CI/ E39 535/ E39 520/ E36 M3/ E36 318iS jet black Mtech/ E46 320d/ E36 318iS diamond black/ E36 318iS blue Mtech kit |

Ive booked my car in with M-Tek for an insp 1 on the 4th of April when I get it back on the road.. They seemed friendlier and more switched on than Autobarn on the phone so thats a good start.. Ill let you know how it goes.. When I have more time, next service ill try BMWorx John...

Just thought id feedback my experience with M-Tec Small unit in Moulton park in Northampton-owner an ex BMW mechanic of some years..anyway, the inspection covered all the usaul service items(oil,filter,air filter and plugs,brake inspection) and the tappets, which was nice to know. I also asked them to check the gearbox and diff oils, the diff needed a top up with fluid as did the power steering. The car came back with no faults and the work cost a total of £176 so i was a happy bunny.. |
