Help With Choosing A Good Non Dealer Service Garage

Hi All

I've just signed up to this so please excuse my ignorance.

I live in Berkshire (near Ascot) and I'm looking for a good garage I can get my car serviced at that's not a BMW dealership that's not going to charge me ridiculous prices.

I also need to get my brakes checked as I think my front caliper/s are sticking.

I've been quoted various amounts for a service and caliper but I'm not sure if it could just get away with the caliper being dismantled and lubrictaed as opposed to getting a new one.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks a lot, Seb
