First visit to A1BN. Got referred to Steve and his team and what a great job they’ve done on my classic E39 M5... resolved a stuck rear door and undertook a detailed assessment of the car and recommended all the suspension and brake components be changed... actual price came in a lot less than what was quoted and car feels like new. All parts are BMW OEM too... with the M5 parts being hard to source, this wasn’t an issue for Steve. Great job guys.

Got my BMW 1 Series in for a diagnostic as I was losing coolant, oil and power as I was driving. They found the issues I had within 30 mins of having my car, rang me up and explained everything. After doing those repairs, they checked my clutch and found out I needed a new one. Constantly gave me updates and kept me in the loop so there was no surprises. I picked my car up the same day. Cannot fault their help or service.

Highly recommended! Completed my service to an excellent standard. All of the team were very friendly and helpful. Having used many mechanics I can confidently say that A1BN are one of, if not, the best around.

Steve at the front of house was brilliantly helpful and really knows his stuff. I don't trust many repair shops with my BMW M2 (this was my 1st visit to A1), but they did a great job replacing a cracked rear spring and a damaged undertray. It's now booked in next week for a full DCT gearbox service.

I drove my friend here because her car had broken down on A1 and was taken there for fixing (no BMW for me, sadly). She said they were extremely helpful and loved their jobs. They were kind enough to stay open late if we were delayed on the motorway getting to them. The car had been fixed without delay. She paid up, and we headed north again in convoy.

They did a great job with my car, efficient, well priced and very friendly and helpful staff.

Very knowledgeable and friendly technicians will explain all the work being carried out in detail and give you a good understanding of what is being done. Fair pricing for specialist work. I will be coming back.

Absolutely brilliant service — diagnosed and fixed in hours what others couldn’t solve in months. I’ve had my 2011 530d since February 2025 and spent the last four months trying to resolve a frustrating vibration coming from the rear of the car. It had been taken to three different garages, each keeping it for several days, but none could get to the bottom of it. Then I brought it here. Within two hours, the issue was identified, I was given a clear cost breakdown, and the fix was completed the same day. Couldn’t be happier with the service - you’ve definitely earned a loyal customer. Huge thanks to the team!
