Used MBM since getting my new car last year. Have had my front and rear brakes done with no issues and done within half a day. And booked in for a major service. The technician called me up and had an honest conversation about how just an oil change was sufficient until next year. Saving me spending money on something that wasn't needed. For that reason, they will do all my maintenance on my 2 series going forward. Thanks, MBM

I have used these guys a few times now as we have 2 minis (a cooper S and a Countryman) and I have been really impressed with their work.
They were honest up front and delivered both cars on time at a cost way below what a main dealer would do.
Keep up the good work guys.
