what dealerships are good?

[AeroEng]

Forsdicks Sandton is usually pretty good for service related issues, with the exception of the last occasion. It's taken me a month to get a refund on a prop shaft bearing that was never fitted to a car as I traded the vehicle in :argh:

In terms of sales, I was disappointed with Lyndhurst wrt my last purchase. But what can I say, when you buy second hand, you don't have a choice on the dealership. As the customer, I've made more calls to the dealership then they have to me and this was to facilitate the purchase of a car they were selling :argh:

Makes no sense at all and to top it off I've had to contact them to find out when my vehicle registration was complete, with absolutely no follow-ups from the dealership :thumbdo:

Dealt with Sandton Auto trying to get a new bumper for my Dad's M-Sport X5. They made a mistake by sending us a standard bumper (we sent them full details) but rectified their wrong doings with excellent service. Ended up buying a number of other things from them aswell. I would vouch for them.

+1 for Auto Bavaria Midrand. They followed my instructions to the proverbial t when they did the run in service on the 1M. And they completed all additional work I requested and they waited for me until 18:15 to collect my car.:thumbs:

Can you guys recommend any non-bmw service centres in the JHB area?

Unfortunately I have to add Club Motors Randburg. Shocking service, first they did not know that they even had my car. Then they could not figure what was wrong with it, even though the iDrive stated a puncture. It took them 45 minutes to take 1 wheel off and a further 45 minutes to put the wheel on.

Beyond shocking, I almost had to go into the dealership and take my own wheel off because they did not know what was wrong with the car. Not to mention 3 days for a quotation on a replacement tyre.

Today I took in the X3 for a service, I did not want to chance taking my car to the monkeys at eastview BMW in nelspruit after my past experience with them so I decided to give Pinnacle BMW in secunda a chance again, it was magic raise:i I took the car in at 7:30 I was finished at just after 9:00 .I got great service today well done to them and there workshop manager Johan .:bravo:

I could not fault them today excellent service and it cost less than I could buy the parts and oil from anywhere in nelspruit and do it myself.
+10 from me:thumbs:
