Independent BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce specialist in Folkestone

Alpha Motorworks is an independent garage in Folkestone that concentrates solely on BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce vehicles. The workshop presents itself as a family-owned and operated business and states that it has been established in the motor trade since 1984. Its work is aimed at owners who want a specialist alternative for diagnostics, servicing, maintenance and repairs on these three marques.

The garage describes its approach as combining efficiency, precision and care, and says it serves Folkestone and Dover while drawing customers from across Kent.

According to the company, this equipment allows it to diagnose, code, programme and update vehicles directly through BMW Group servers. The same capability supports remote diagnosis using the official BMW server, a service the garage lists alongside its workshop work in Kent.
