Best place to get your car serviced Perth

duongma · 08-27-2013, 09:33 PM

Hi All,

Just wondering where the people of Perth get their BMW's serviced?

Was thinking of going to BMTechniks but is there anywhere else that anyone can recommends?

Cheers

What kind of service and what area?
I've used Stokes and Renk in Subi and RAMP in Malaga.

duongma · 08-27-2013, 09:45 PM

Should be a minor service - car is at 40k km

NOR! Was Ramp good nugget? its close to me haha

Nugget · 08-27-2013, 10:54 PM

Yeah I'd have no problem taking it to RAMP. Workshop is a bit messy and they got my booking mixed up once but they have done a lot of work on my car.

RAMP without a doubt....One of the few places that wont charge you through the nose because you drive a BMW. They have done work on almost every 135i this forum along with a few 335i's......They have done every single mod on my car, including the vargas twin turbos.

Tomorrow they are building a custom handmade muffler for me so they know their shit.

Nugget · 08-30-2013, 02:48 AM

Yeah they installed most of my mods and built my exhaust as well.

+1; they've done engine/suspension mod on my car also. Doing the brakes, LSD and exhaust next week!

What route you going for the LSD and if you don't mind, what's the total cost for the complete purchase and install?

Thanks guys! Have the car booked into Ramp and no doubt it wont be the last time its in there as i start with the mods lol!

Hey Guys,

Whats involved in a 50,000km service? Is this a major one? Most likely going to get Ramp to do it again.

Probably spark plugs, air con microfilter, and oil change. Add coils if you had the extra cash lying around.

If they had an autologic, they could probably plug it in and tell you which components needs to be replaced.

Thread revive - My question is where to buy parts for a 135i in Perth?
I'm after normal service stuff like plugs, filters and oils. Plus I will also be after gaskets and seals in the near future for oil filter gaskets, intake manifold gasket and valve cover gasket.
Does Coventrys have all this stuff? or is there a BMW/European place with reasonable prices and experience?

Still probably cheaper to get from the US like ecs tuning, fcp euro or tischer.

If you have to get it locally than look at dealerships or Imparts.

Jim621 · 05-07-2015, 06:41 PM

Thanks Digitalism.
Ill have a look through the websites of the companies you listed for hardware type items (plugs and filters), but recon it would be cheaper to buy oils and lube local - not sure if they can post oils?

Imparts seems to be a go-er. Cheers!

For oils definitely get them from Supercheap, Reach or Autobarn when they are on sale.

Jim621 · 05-09-2015, 09:07 PM

Found a place in Ozzy park called Imparts, which had very reasonable prices.
$14 for sparkplugs, $12 for an oil filter, and $58 for 5L of fully synth oil.

will keep an eye out for oil specials elsewhere.

RadiuM · 05-10-2015, 09:17 PM

Have bought n54 cam cover gasket from these guys who are in Malaga, and various other parts for my gtr. They are pretty helpful too.
