BMW Service, Repairs, Bodywork, MOT

BMW was established as a business entity following a restructuring of the Rapp Motorenwerke aircraft manufacturing firm in 1917. Due to the Treaty of Versailles, BMW had to cease aircraft-engine production. Therefore the company shifted to motorcycle production as the restrictions of the treaty started to be lifted in 1923. The first car which BMW successfully produced and the car which launched BMW on the road to automobile production was the Dixi, it was based on the Austin 7 and licensed from the Austin Motor Company in Birmingham, England. Its journey hasn’t been the smoothest, however in June 2012 BMW was listed at the #1 most reputable company in the world by Forbes.com. It also owns and produces Mini cars, and is the parent company of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. BMW produces motorcycles under BMW Motorrad, and plug-in electric cars under the BMW i sub-brand.

Terms & Explanations

  • CBS – Condition Based Service was first introduced with the BMW 7 Series and is an evolution of the service interval indicator that has featured on other models in the BMW range.
  • All current models are equipped with the CBS system except for X3 and Z4.
  • The CBS system is at the forefront of service innovation, and for this reason we want to ensure that you understand its principles and benefits.
  • CBS sensors monitor the condition of parts such as spark plugs, filters, and brake pads as well as all operating fluids. This means your BMW only receives attention when it needs it, saving you both time and money.
  • During every visit in our garage, we carry out diagnostic interrogation, we check and verify any control messages, we check indicator and warning lights on instrument cluster and we reset CBS display.

Traditional Scheduled Service Intervals

  • Scheduled servicing for non-CBS vehicles

The Service Interval Indicator counts down the mileage until your next service and shows you the information you need to know on your dashboard display. Once the service is carried out our technicians will reset the indicator and then you’ll be ready to go again.

I took my BMW M5 to GSF for some general cosmetic repairs as after owning the car for the past ten years from new, I have reluctantly decided to sell it. From the outset, the team were on the ball, attentive and very professional. The service advisor, Michelle, is a delight, She is always laughing but never seems to drop the ball. She is also very articulate and has an attention to detail. The main assessor there is a guy called VIP. Clearly very experienced , he missed nothing and knows his cars and each model. The quote to make good was extremely competitive and the quality of the work was perfect. I would recommend them to anyone. In case anyone thinks this is not an independent review. please contact me.

Went for a general service in my Polo. A bit far away from my home in Old Street, but fair in pricing and fast.

Spyros

Couldn’t give enough stars ! They helped me out at the last minute and were so helpful. Definitely using them for all my car work in the future. Roberto was amazing. Thank you.

Juliette

I had a great experience with GSF. They were very helpful and friendly and fitted me in very quickly. The work which they have done is fantastic and if I ever have a problem with my car again I will be sure to return to GSF. I would also highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of any car help. Thanks to the team for doing such a great job on my car, she looks brand new 🙂

Kate

Very Happy with the service. Was there a couple of weeks ago for some bodywork Will use them again for my mot and service

Charlie

From start to finish, GSF provided an excellent experience. Comment relates to service/ MOT of Audi A3. All the staff (including initial call, car pick-up and servicing) were courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. As well as this excellent customer service, the price was reasonable and the turnaround quick.

Rick

Great service, very good communication. We get our (ageing) Audi A4 serviced here. Thanks guys

Ed

I dropped off my car to have the tracking reset and asked Roberto at GSF to also look at a couple of other issues that were affecting our car. They did all the work efficiently and fixed all the problems. The great news was that they only charged me for the tracking job, which was very reasonable. I would highly recommend them and would use GSF again.

Sam

GSF did a fantastic repair to my BMW Z4. You would never know that the bumper had been replaced and sprayed to match the existing colour. Great costumer care and the excellent valet was added bonus.

Max

I have been using GSF for years. Would highly recommend them to anyone.

Honor

I was recommended this Garage who by a close friend. As new customer they immediately gave me a good feeling of competence and knowledge about my vehicle (Renault). Major server was completed without issue using good quality fluids and they pointed out (and fixed) some safety issues my previous garage had missed. The tracking was adjusted perfectly and the car drives perfectly now. Overall Very happy and will return when the next service is due. Thanks a lot GSF !!

Jonathan

Found this garage to be very helpful and also extremely professional. They did a great job on my Range Rover from a simple service to diagnosing a fault with my alternator. But the best bit of it all is the price competitive and also the labour charge is alot less than any main stream garages plus the work is 100% bang on, so will be using them again for my wife’s Mercedes.

Shahian

I went to GSF after moving to South Kensington to service my BMW 3-series. The staff were friendly and car-literate. Best of all they tell you when you can have your car back and actually stick to it. Previous experiences with other garages promising it will be ready in one more day etc are just a nightmare. I am going to make GSF my regular garage.

Arvin

Great service. People were very helpful and polite. The car looked good as new and cost a fraction of what main dealer was quoting. Turnaround time was really quick too.

Shobhit

This is hands down the best garage I have ever been to. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend… and often do unprompted. Love these guys.

Patrick

Many people told me that repairing of the clutch will take a whole day and that’s the main reason why I really appreciate the efforts of these guys. They managed to repair it for about 5 hours and I was more than pleased by the job done. Thank you guys !

Health and Safety First!

A vehicle health check is recommended prior to any travelling.
We will check your vehicle’s tyres, brakes, lights, wipers, inspect the underside, and we will conduct an under bonnet check, including all levels and battery.

The weather outlook is good!

Drop your car off and time efficiently we will check and ensure that your vehicle’s air conditioning system works as expected for the season.

The vehicle’s tyres are its only contact with the road surface!

We will check the condition of your tyres. If they do need replacement we can offer attractive prices on all major tyre makes. Wheel alignment is also recommended. This will extend the tyre life and will ensure better handling of the vehicle on the road!
