My mechanic of 17 years. Great Eastern Auto. Its a shop run by an asian guy named Hung.

The address is 628 e 28th street, Brooklyn NY between Flatbush and Foster Avs. They guy is awesome! Just an example: One of my axle boots had ripped and was spewing grease all over the inside of my rims. I was looking at the posts here talking about $600 axle replacements. He charged me $140 installed for an entire new axle. And he shows you the old parts.

If something doesnt really need to be replaced, he will advise you NOT to even though he's losing money.

And VERY convenient. You can park your car on the block on a Sunday night, leave the keys in the drop box, call him Monday morning and tell him what the problem is, and 90% of the time the car will be fixed and you can pick it up by 5pm Monday. I do this all the time. And the 2/5 train is only 2 blocks away.

The phone # is 718-434-8995. Ask for Hung. Tell him you have an X5 and Lance sent you.

In fact Im going to make a separate post because they do great work at excellent prices. You will not be disappointed.
