ZF approved garages
I have been looking into getting my ATF changed at some point on the S8. I have seen references to Mackies and Chester Transmissions but I was looking for somewhere closer to the Midlands.
So, I looked on ZF's website and they had a few garages listed. I contacted the nearest (Notts I think) and they said they don't do servicing?? Surprised, I asked for ZF approved garages and the gentleman said they have a Protech Scheme and would give me the details of local garages. The two nearest were 1. Autokraft BMW Pasture Croft Solihull B94 5DJ West Midlands Great Britain Phone: 01564 703434 2. Driver Transmissions 257 Moseley Rd Birmingham B12 0EA Great Britain Phone: 0121 440 3476 I haven't contacted either yet but I am assuming they will know these 'boxes and use the correct tools/oils/software. Has anyone had any experience of either of these garages? |
Driver Transmissions are the ones who rebuilt Davey Blueyes D2 gearbox which blew up again after a few thousand miles and just out of warranty.
Just sayin... |
I know it’s a pain, but Mackies are your guys! I’m now back in the Midlands, but still take the car to Mackies. If you get there early enough (about a 5 hour drive from here) for the car to cool down before they open, they’ll have you back on the road for lunchtime. It’s a long day, I know, but worth it if you value the gearbox!

Yeah just watch they don't remove the sump with a rusty spoon, or indeed try to charge you extra for moving some imaginary extra hardware out of the way...

MJ, do you fancy doing D3 ATFs? :D |

I know I'm biased, but Mackies is well worth the trip: I wouldn't let anyone else (apart from MJ, of course...) near my S8.
