Two of my x5 20" wheels were badly damaged. Corey at Xtreme Wheel repair did a perfect job fixing them. The repair was flawless and he guarantees his work for life (so he said) against paint peeling or color fading. He speaks and works with so much confidence that I trust this guy. He says if you're not satisfied with his work, you don't pay! I must add that the price was just right and my pocket is still hale and hearty!

He had told me $100 minimum and can go up-to $150 for a complete wheel rebuild including straightening, paint stripping and repaint, if I recall accurately. I paid $120 per wheel that were badly damaged, I mean really ugly deep scuffs. The wheels were restored to perfect condition. He has an Advanced Xtreme Wheel Repair Machine.

It's very hard to come across excellent, honest and affordable wheel repair shops. This guy is the real deal, folks. His phone number is 425-327-1152. He is also a fireman.

Is there anyone who does valve stem seals replacement on the N62 engine in our region at a reasonable cost? There's a BMW master tech in the east coast who does it for less than $2k. He says the repair takes 2 days to complete. Problem is transporting or driving to and fro. I've asked around here and all mechanics want to charge almost 50% (some even more) the value of the vehicle.

Earl's machine shop in Burien. Awesome job. Have them resurface the heads while your in there and do a 3 angle grind. Out the door was $430 for my 4.6is.

I would check the forums for members whom would be willing to do it for you or with you. A shop is going to charge a shit load because they can, even with the tools. Earls would be good but from the sounds of it that's if you bring him the heads.

Signature in Kirkland did mine. It was covered under warranty so I'm not sure the actual cost. Give them a call and ask for Leah (owner's daughter) to get the most accurate quote.
