Planning your workshop visit
Confirm the appointment and expected collection time before arranging a day out. Reception has seating, WiFi, a work desk, drinks and toilets. For a longer job, arrange onward travel; local attractions need transport from the workshop.
Courtesy cars
BMW courtesy cars are available without a hire charge, subject to availability. Request one when booking. You must arrange insurance, replace the fuel used and keep the receipt, and return the car in the condition supplied.
Rail travel
Llantwit Major is the nearby rail station for Cardiff and Bridgend services. Check the Transport for Wales journey planner for current times and allow for travel between the station and workshop. Ask us about local transport arrangements when booking.
