I have used the same one in Ponthir when I had my M3, I also know quite a few others that use them as well so worth a call ask for Tony Spiteri.
Been a BMW independent for years

Garage Name: Autotech
Telephone: 01633 423717
Address: Unit 2/Boxer Trading Est/Ponthir Rd, Caerleon, Newport, NP18 3NY

I used promotive a few times. on the face of it they are good but I have my suspicions that the mechanic would rag the car on test drives. More than once the items in my boot were thrown about which was not likely to happen if the car was driven even remotely sensible.
