Slow puncture, new runflat tyre needed. Next day drive-in fitted and balanced while you wait. Very efficient and reasonably priced.

Can’t thank the guys at AR for the work and effort they have done for me. I was unfortunate to experience the dreaded BMW swirl flap failure on my 1series F20 116d 2016. I was told by BMW and numerous garages that it was a simple case of replacing the whole inlet manifold (£1000) as it’s not a serviceable part. After doing a bit of research I found out that as this is such a common problem, there is a method of not only fixing the problem, but actually carrying out a procedure which makes the car run better which makes sure there are no problems in the future which is called ‘swirl flap delete’. Once I found this out I thought all my problems were solved, but trying to find a garage that would carry out this task was a task in itself because it was known to have been carried out on older models with no problems but because the ECU would need to be looked into on newer models (2012+) a lot of garages said they would not do it. Just by chance I called AR Automotive and they knew exactly what my issue was and were happy to assist me with not only that, but a few other issues I had which I already knew about. Got the car back today which has now got 85,000 miles on the clock and it drives better than the day I bought it when it had 18,000 miles on it. If you have a BMW I suggest you look into if your car has the swirl flap system, and if it does I strongly recommend you have this work carried out as it can potentially write your engine/car off, and if you need or want it done…get these guys to do it! 👌🏻

Can't recommend them highly enough: very helpful, super-efficient and good value; they have fixed us up and helped out in an emergency, which is exactly what you want from a place like this. Keep up the good work guys!
