Fantastic friendly service. Highly recommended and will definitely use again
They investigated the issue with the m235i I brought - turns out not wheel bearing but buckled alloys on near side - didn’t charge a penny and advised what to do next, will be coming back here for any work needed
Brilliant garage, work was done in a very timely manner and for a good price. Good friendly service too. Thanks

The car’s wheel bearings are a series of steel balls secured together on a metal ring called a race. Each wheel of your car has a wheel bearing, which supports the weight of your car. Its function is to let your wheels move ad turn with as little friction as possible.
They are used on a variety of other automobiles from cars, airplanes and bikes. In cars, the wheel bearing rides on a metal axle shaft and fits securely inside the wheel hub.
Wheel bearings are made to last a long time, but when poorly lubricated they can become very hot and thus damaged prematurely. Often making a replacement necessary.
They can also wear if a wheel bearing seal is damaged, meaning water and debris enter the component and cause it to fail.
Signs that your wheel bearing needs repair or replacing:
· Car feels loose when steering, a loss of control is felt
· Feels like car is pulling to one side
· Tyres are unevenly worn
· An unusual grinding or grating noise which worsens as you accelerate – be cautious as it can sound similar to damaged tyres
· A humming noise can point to a number of components, but it may be your wheel bearings
· A noise has often been compared to flipping a deck of cards against a bicycle spoke.
· A rumbling noise is a sign that the wheel bearing seal is damaged
· Vibrations at low speeds
· Wheel wobbles in your hands as you turn it
· Uneven brake pad wear
· Uneven tyre wear and overall wear occurring faster than normal
Although they will still operate after you begin to notice signs of wear, this will not last long. You must act rapidly as there is a chance that your wheel bearing may lock up. This would be a complete disaster if it occurred whilst you are driving. Worst case scenario is that your wheel may actually fall off whilst driving.
Driving with a worn bearing can also put a huge strain on the hub, CV joint and the transmission causing more extensive damage overall. Have the wheel bearings replaced efficiently to keep overall repair costs to a minimum. At the first sign of trouble, make sure to have the component inspected by a professional mechanic.
If only one wheel bearing fails, there is no necessity for you to replace them on both sides. The working (and remaining) wheel bearings should continue to operate for years to come. A mechanic would be able to diagnose the problem and detect which or if all the wheel bearings need replacing. A wheel bearing change is a challenging job to carry out at home, even if you possess mechanical knowledge.
