I did have a quick search in this forum but couldn't find anything less than a few years old.  I have a 2003 530i (E39) which has given very faithful service over the years despite my being less than kind to it at times.  It has only 113,000km on the clock and while I do the "basic" services (oil and filter change every 12 months or 10,000km, regularly check fluids, levels and pressures), it is a 17 year old car and most of the plastic and rubber parts are wearing out.  Engine and drive train are sound and I could easily get another 100,000km out of it.  A list of "nuisance" items has built up (washer fluid reservoir leaks, power windows/central locking not working, slow leak in the power steering fluid, etc.) and now a big item needs repair: brakes are soft and I can see brake fluid on the ground when I park.  So no more procrastination.

 

Last garage I used for a major A/C repair 3 years ago was KW Services on Ekkamai Soi 21.  They were OK but I found them a bit pricey compared to the garage I used before on Rama IV (Amorn Service - they moved way out somewhere).

 

Getting to the point...does anyone have any recommendations?  Preferably a specialist German car shop.

I wonder if they are related to the excellent and inexpensive KW Services in Thonglor, which I used to use long ago? In the Soi opposite Camillian Hospital.

 

Address: 14 Thong Lo 20 Alley, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110. Phone 02 391 6064.

Yep, same place.  Thonglor Soi 20 at one end, Ekkamai Soi 21 at the other.  I think that's where I will be going.

Amorn Prestige is now here: 168 Ratchadaphisek Road, Chan Kasem, Chatuchak, Bangkok 10900

I have not serviced there but I heard positive feedback about the place.
