Sorry, just read this again and now see CHARGED not CHANGED

Very often a car will automatically be attached to a charger when the tech is doing work on the car. It is surprising to read you have found maintenance records that even LIST 'charging'. I am assuming you are looking at carfax or similar? These are almost useless as they totally rely on what the dealer/service center enters into their system. It is NOT a snapshot of the read "BMW Records".

Can't help with ATL shops. Try searching for "Atlanta" and "Indy" or "shop". Also look over on Bimmerfest.

GL!
