Reading all these posts I'm inclined to agree with them, as Wyndham says it's just a car and Oldgregg's post saying they are just parts installers I think that applies to most places right up to main dealers thats why they are now called fitters, mecanics seem to be a dying breed. I recently changed my car, had a Mazda5 for eight years it was three years old when I got it started to cost a bit and Mazda parts are dear. Looking at the different interpretations of what BMW stands for I would be reluctant to have one.
