A brief experience...

Between dealer/indy/John/myself...the X received a good mix of healthcare. Each option obviously offered an advantage over others. After educating myself further on my beloved X, i narrowed down servicing to John (an older tech head with a small/modern garage in city) and moi...he was meticulous. (lifetime warrantied parts are my only needs for dealer nowadays). Northeast roads and seasons/elements can be brutal. However, a steady dose of John and i yielded a much better mutual benefit.

Ahh...should've mentioned this. The reason i wrote in past tense...John recently sold his shop and retired and i'm parting with my X. Yes, he was in NYC. Took some time to find a mechanic like John but he was so worth it. He even did a little work on my m'cycle. Our other vehicles are still under their respective warranties...however, i'll be on the hunt for another John.

There is a Marty's auto on 24th/11th ??? He has done some basic stuff and seems like a good guy. I know he has a contract with the zip car BMW in the city so you know he is familiar with them. Those cars get destroyed. My bf's brother in Carmel NY I totally trust, just an hour ride. But if your not sure of something he is worth the ride. I can give you numbers to both.

If you gents are interested...i know of a dealer tech that does work in his home garage, i believe. He's in Jerz and was recommended...spoke with him long ago but we were unable to connect due to my hectic schedule. Feel free to PM me for his math.
