Z4 Forum Member Recommended Independent Garage Services
Its taken a while but .........
The below link contains a spreadsheet containing a list of Z4 member approved indie garages. NOTE: these are based on individual forum member experiences at the time they used the service.
Simple to use
1. Click below link
2. Click Edit In Browser
3. Click on the area dropdown menu (cell C15) to chose your area
4. If there are multiple options change the number in cell C8 to the number on the list
Et Voila - Phone number, website, streetmaps info etc on screen. Most Streetmap and websites are hyperlinks that will take you straight to the page (some simple refuse to work so cout and paste to the browser.
Not quite how I wanted it to look but close

No problem. There are loads of other lines that need adding. Too much wine has been drunk to do it now hicBing wrote:Thanks Mafoo - proper effort

Open to ideas. Will get the servicing one sorted first then expand to other bits after.Stuart Truman wrote:Are you only looking at service centres? If not I'd like to put Dingmaster in as a body shop in Swindon.
I was thinking along the lines of driving roads too

Re: Official Z4 Forum Member Approved Garages
Nice work!
Are you aware of the similar information (although without the handy drop-down lists) at http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/garages.html? (The comments on Hexagon make entertaining reading!)
Also, for those of use who only use Authorised Dealers, each of the BMW dealer's web sites now has feedback (stars and comments) for both Sales and Service.

Re: Official Z4 Forum Member Approved Garages
Just a thought - this is sitting at the top of the dealer feedback section right now because it is new, but this should be a sticky for sure
