How Gent's Garage can help with keeping your BMW in peak condition:
COMMON ISSUES SEEN ACROSS THE BMW RANGE
01
DPF Issues: Your BMW’s Diesel Particulate Filter removes harmful chemicals from your vehicle’s emissions. If it’s faulty, you could fail your MOT. Got dark smoke coming from your exhaust? It could be a DPF issue. Contact Gent’s immediately.
02
Oil Level/Burning Oil: Blue smoke coming from your exhaust isn’t a good look, and neither are black oil puddles under your BMW. Got these issues? Get them checked immediately; low oil can cause costly problems.
03
Crank Pulley Issues: Your BMW’s crank pulley keeps your cambelt moving. If you’ve noticed your engine shaking or turning over irregularly, your crank pulley might need checking. Call Gent’s BMW specialists.
04
Timing Problem: Hearing a ticking or knocking sound? Got unburnt fuel leaking from the exhaust? It could be a timing issue. Don’t wait around; call Gent’s BMW Specialist Maidstone today.
05
EGR Valves: If you’ve noticed a drop in performance, or you’re burning through fuel faster than usual, it could be an EGR issue. Your EGR valves might be blocked by carbon. Let our BMW Specialists take a look.
06
EGR Coolers: Your EGR coolers help cool your fumes while reducing emissions. If you’ve got an exhaust leak or your engine is overheating, call our team today.
07
Swirl Flap Issues: Swirl flaps help improve your engine’s fuel efficiency, but if they’re faulty, they can cause severe damage. If you hear whooshing noises when you accelerate, let our experts know.
08
Manifolds Melting: The manifold helps cool down the cylinders in your BMW to prevent the engine from overheating. If the engine is overheating, sometimes they can melt. If you smell exhaust odour or have reduced performance, call Gent’s BMW Specialist Maidstone immediately.
09
Carbon Build Up: If your BMW has a build-up of carbon in the engine, it can cause drivability issues. Notice your BMW jerking or the engine vibrating and shaking? Contact our team today for a check-up.
10
HP Pump Issues: High-Pressure fuel pumps inject fuel into your engine. If they fail, your BMW might come to a stop (or won’t start at all). If your engine doesn’t start, call us today.
11
Thermostat Issues: If your BMW thermostat fails, your engine can overheat and cause serious damage to your engine. Notice a coolant leak or poor performance? Call Gent’s BMW Specialist Maidstone straight away.
How will I be kept informed on the progress of my BMW service?
At Gent’s BMW Specialists, we keep you in the know from stage one.
After your BMW’s initial inspection, we will call you to discuss our findings. We only start working on your vehicle once you give us the go-ahead.
You’re always in complete control from the start.
It’s one of the many reasons why our Google rating is higher than the main Mercedes Maidstone dealership.

Huge thank you to the team at Gents Garage Sittingbourne for the great job they did on my Audi. They carried out a full service, full inspection and MOT, and everything was completed with real professionalism and attention to detail.
A special thank you as well for staying late so I could pick up the car after hours — it really helped me out and showed how much... Read More -
I was recommended this garage by a friend and a family member. Such a nice, friendly family run business. From the moment of my enquiry I knew that I would be taken care of. I booked for an MOT and although it failed was kept informed of what needed to be done and how much. I was very impressed as not only was it a reasonable price but also they managed to do the same day.

Excellent service and communication from these guys. Used them for an MOT and a full service, both of which cost me less than a full service at main dealer prices. You get a lot of communication via txt and email and you can choose to add on any faults found to the work your having done, I personally thought this was Excellent, couldn't afford the extra work but will certainly be going back....

Returned to this garage after using main dealer through warranty period. Still very professional and polite. A slick operation keeping you informed of progress with your car. Husband and late father have also used Gent’s for many satisfactory years. Would certainly recommend Gent’s.

Following a breakdown due to a broken clutch I had my car recovered to Gents Garage. The fault was diagnosed and fixed promptly and professionally. The communication and level of service was fantastic. Richard and Chris kept me updated at all times and explained my options without bias. I would definitely recommend them and will be returning.

Helpful with good service

I went in with my car failing its mot while I was working in the area.
Richard and Chris were fantastic keeping me updated with everything concerning the car, and the work required plus the approximate time it would be finished.
It had a lot of work done, plus checks done like 4 wheel alignment.
The car drives like new no creaking or noises, I would highly recommend Gents... Read More -

I just googled anything for Audi to help my situation. Spoke to Chris advised me what to try and exactly what he said worked ! Thank you for giving me that time and instruction ! I almost broke down as late to work trying to solve it myself for 30 mins. Xx

First time using Gents and I will definitely use them again in the future. Took my 2016 Mercedes c300 in for a full service as it hadn’t been serviced for a while. The technicians thoroughly inspected the vehicle and found a few areas that needed rectifying. They sent a detailed report and even took photos to show me some of the defects. Very honest, thorough and friendly staff. These are... Read More

I used Gents garage in recent times for what turned out to be suspected oil cooler failure on my 2013 Mercedes E350. Mercedes wanted a small fortune but as I had my car serviced previously and heard many good reviews I opted for the work to be done at Gents. They did it 'by the book', quite literally as per Mercedes guidance and doing the necessary checks on the cylinder linings etc. This work... Read More

Very helpful and friendly staff will recommend the garage to other people and will use the garage again

My first visit to Gents garage on the 6th Nov 24 was nothing short of excellence in customer satisfaction. When I arrived it was clear to the reception staff that I was in need of a job done quickly so I could return to work. Being that it was a relatively small job of replacing a fuel filter, they freed up space and cracked on straight away with the task, even though they had higher priority... Read More

Great Service. Good advice and pricing. Reliable and trustworthy.

I recently took my motor home into Gents Garage. There was a lot of welding needed underneath at the front. I was kept informed at all stages of the work. The work has been done to a very high standard and at a very reasonable price. I will certainly use them again for my motor home and my car. Lovely helpful people to deal with. Thank you.

Dealt with Chris in regards to my RR Evoque. He went above and beyond for what I needed. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Will defo be a returning customer.

I can't recommend Gent's Garage in Sittingbourne highly enough! Max, the mechanic, is exceptionally knowledgeable and went above and beyond to diagnose an issue that had been causing multiple warning lights on my car. While another mechanic suggested replacing multiple parts at a significant cost, Max quickly identified that the problem was simply due to low voltage affecting the electrical... Read More

Excellent service. Rang for prices and some advice on buying a 5 series I was going to look at and was given all the info and help I needed to help me make my purchase, even checked the service records for me using the vin No: when I got to look at the car.
Thank you very much for your time.
The car will be coming your way in the future when the service is due. -
On holiday from Manchester when the engine management warning light came on our vehicle.
Chose this garage as nearest to where we were staying and what a lucky find.
Chris immediately advised us to take the car to him, he undertook a diagnostic check and as he wasn't able to assist in the repair he contacted other garages to help us get back on the road to enjoy the remainder of... Read More -
I highly recommend this garage. I have been using for many many years. Costumer service is amazing, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Work on car is quick and reasonably priced.
-
Always had a great service from this garage. Receptionist is very friendly, informative and punctual.
Never push you to fix certain issues unlike other garages as long as within reason not to be fixed (major issues etc)
Can be on the pricey side, but well worth it for the service they provide.
