Pre-purchase car inspection for BMW in Dublin?

Panic Stations · 31-08-2020 8:53am #1

Hey Guys,

Was hoping someone could help me out here as I'm not having much luck on Google.

Have a deposit down on a BMW 330e with a 2 year warranty from a dealership.

I'm hoping to get someone out to inspect the car this week and do a thorough check on the car but I'm struggling to find a reputable company to do so.

Can anyone here recommend someone/company that will do this?

AA no longer do it but they do list those who do here:

If I were you I would get a BMW independent to check it.

Breach Motor Works (BMW) in Walkinstown might do it, Bloomfield Garage are BMW specialists as well

I was on to Bloomfield earlier on but they won't do it as they don't have the staff to spare to go out and inspect it. I'll give Breach Motor Works a shout and see what they can do.

Are you buying from a BMW Dealership ? Is the warranty a full BMW warranty?
If yes to both you will be pretty well covered. However I would still have it inspected.

Could you not drive it there or to another mechanic on a test drive? Chelmsford Motors in Ranelagh has an ex-BMW mechanic.
