M140i - Looking for a Mechanic/Workshop to replace the coolant radiator

[LBN_G20]

Hi all. As per the title, I'm looking for a mechanic/workshop around Midrand to replace the coolant radiator on my M140i. According to BMW it got damaged because of a stone chip. They're quoting me R25k to fix the whole thing but I want to see if I can get someone else to do the job cheaper.

I'm going to order the part with BMW on Monday and hopefully receive it the following the day. I'm also hoping to get this sorted by Wednesday before I have to take back the loaner.

I would also prefer it if it's someone that can come to me because I'm nervous about starting the car even if it's to get it on a flatbed.

Suggestions would be much appreciated.

Many thanks!

I'm sure u can just top up coolant and then load car on a flat bed and send it to a workshop... Try your nearest panelshop

Isn't this something your insurance should sort out?

That is true, top up the coolant and get it to a reputable shop. Ross Duncan is closest to you or actually, the357 is in Kyalami, Sanjay and his team will sort you out.
