Morning all, I live in the Cotswolds and I am looking for recommendations for either a good mechanic or garage to service my Z3, ideally not too far from Bourton on the Water. Thanks.

Shame you are not closer to me at Newport and our Zedshed Cymru. Enthusiast run for z enthusiasts, you supply oils and filters and any other parts and the jobs get done always encourage member participation in wielding spanners. All done on the understanding a donation is made to the shed for replenishing consumables and tool fund.

Same things applies at ZedShed (Midlands) if any of you out there are close enough to Lincoln. Tools, a Pit and a Lift are here and a little knowledge from a life in the motor trade.

Guys, what a fantastic idea - its sounds great to be able to access all those facilities, especially the lift.
I have booked it into a garage in Cirencester after a recommendation from the chap that runs the AV8 event at the Cotswold airport.

Hi Tony, I have been meaning to reach out and just saw this comment :p

What is the process for arranging? I suspect I am going to be needing to do my rear subframe bushes soon and have been dreading the thought of attempting it on my driveway with axle stands (and on my own!) - is that the sort of thing we'd be able to do with Zedshed?
