Good BMW Mechanic around Brooklyn OR NYC
Hey all, im new to the forum. I know quite a bit about cars, but am not comfortable working on my 2005 745LI yet cause of the computers. nowadays you can't even change the brakes with needing to reset some module. Was wondering if anyone could refer me to a good shop, NOT the stealership, I'm willing to drive for a bit if need be, brooklyn nyc or queens would be ideal.

I've tried just about every non-stealership option in NYC...didn't experience anyone better than Bay Diagnostic. There are a few out there that are probably just as good but i wouldn't say better.

Try this site: BIMRS - Independent BMW Service on Planet Earth

i received quotes from Bay Diagnostics and they seem to be just as expensive as quotes received from other dealer repair shops. i understand they are sponsors but it is what it is...

Not debating you on your experience, however I assume you mean other indy's 'cause Bays labor rate, i believe is about ~$20 less than the stealer. Their rates on parts are also less....just my experience...You get what you pay for.

I wish more people would suggest a good indi shop, but I guess this place is full of DYS'ers
