Hey Moranor,

Well my opinion on this would be that some people might get good service and some not... all depending on who helps you etc.

So far i have no complaints with auto glen bmw.. happy with the guys there that help me. :)

Leo Haese in Hatfield, Mercy is the lady answering the phones, very friendly, and speak to René when making the booking, to Phillip in the workshop to hear whats being done to your car, and to Toni at the parts when you need to buy parts from them. Tell them Francois Spietkop with the blue E46 with Schnitzer stripes refered you. :thumbsup:

I am guessing if you search long enough, or ask enough people will hear about someone who got crap from some dealer.

Personally I just buy parts from the dealers from time to time, and in that regard they are pretty much the same. The guys get friendlier as they get to know you.
Comment I can make though are; the guys at menlyn auto are bit lazy as they didn't want to order me a part from germany, telling me that they can't order it as no one has ever brought it in and there is no market, the guys as leo haese where willing to bring it in for me, but I have seen the inside of the workshop at leo haese and have spoken to one of their would be part replacers, and all I can say is I wouldn't even want to take my car there to have them check my tyre pressure. Those are pretty much the dealers I frequent, also been to BMW fountains once, paid money, got part so not much to share in that regard.

I have to agree with Ceader Isle Auto.
Damn good service...Took my car there instead of the BMW dealer I was working for.
Drove in day before Xmas, greeted by name, coffee handed to me, welkomed by the Workshop Manager.
Then, after the scope of work was discussed and a collection time agreed apon, I received calls every hour or so to update the progress.
one hour before I was due to collect I received a call from the service advisor to say they had found an issue with the Wishbones and were sending to midrand to collect a set. Could I please collect at 2:00PM and not 12:00.

Understand that the dealership had said they were closing at 12:00 as the next day was a holliday!!! Could not believe their service.
Anyway, having met and exceeded my expectations, I arrive at 14;00 to be told the car is ready.

1) All work agreed apon done.
2) Wishbones replaced with shiny new ones (Magic Carpet ride is back)
3) Informed they replaced my indicator stalk as they found a rattle inside, new bonnet shocks fitted (Never asked for) WOW.
4) Told Tony from ZF had looked at the gearbox values and found issue with the clutch in the auto box. He had aplolgised that he could not attend to it and that he had noted my car had less than 1000 km's left on Motorplan. He had requested to see the car early in the new year.
5) Ceader Isle had done a battery test and ordered a new battery. (Fitted Jan)

So in January, ZF replaced the gearbox at a cost to plan of R 68 000,00. Understand that after 100 000 km's (my 530i was on 139012 km's) Motorplan only pays half, ZF the other half.
