    I am loking to buy a used bmw in the Dublin area and need a mechanic to check it out. Any names and numbers? Also what would be a reasonable price for this sevice. On the AA ireland website they charge 320 euro for giving cars the once over which seems like a rip off.

    what part of Dublin?
    what kind of car?

    I'll send you a link to a FAQ if you specify the car/year and will try to name a few BMW specialists if you say where abouts?

    I use Dalkey Motor Services , who specialise in BMWs. They're not particularly cheap, but Ed is very knowledgable. Despite the name, they're actually near Monkstown. Ph: 01-2852590

    Will you post here how you get on? In the market for the same car, and would be interested to know what to look out for.
