Mechanic in Northern VA

Anyone know a good independent mechanic in Northern VA? I noticed my lower left CV boot joint outer part is cracked.

Any help is appreciated.

Curry's is good but pricey. That's an easy job, though, so it doesn't need to be a specialist or anything.

I've scheduled my car for a repoair tomorrow at Curry's Auto in Reston/Great Falls. They back up their work and parts for 6,000 miles or 6 months. They are only $20 or so pricier than other shops that specialize in german auto. Still less expensive than going to Stealership.

Thanks!

Try a place called Martin's motorsport. They live and breath BMWs and only BMWs. They are in Alexandria.

So I took my X5 to Currys Auto and did excellent job. They back their work for one year or 12,000 parts and labor. They also gave me a loaner car. The car was ready as promised. Their price is pretty competetive as well. But the service is what I'm impressed. Definitely would do business again with them.
