What are BMW Indy Shops?

[mtech8]

I've seen this around in the forums, just wondering what they are.

independent repair shops where people go
instead of the dealer to get their BMW fixed

Thanks!

I kept thinking "indy" as in "indy racing".

Btw, does anyone know of a good BMW Indy shop around Walnut/Diamond Bar, CA?

The best place to look is BIMRS - Independent BMW Service on Planet Earth It is the defacto for finding good BMW shops that are not dealers

That list above is ok, imo...but leaves out a couple of very good BMW oriented Indy shops, imo.

To the OP: I'd GOOG "BMW repair shops", in your area and,
also walk up to any BMW/PCar owner and ask where they get
their work done, (skipping Biff & Buffy parked in front of the
"Nails Done" shop ).

Also, if you are a member of BMW CCA, their local monthly
rag for your area, will have Indie ads.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah. My wife's 3 series is about to run out of it's extended warranty and I just haven't had very positive experience with dealers when it's my turn to flip the bill.

mtech8,

I know this one place called BMW Specialist Shop locating on Beach and Warner, in Huntington Beach area...may be it is a little far for you. The mechanic used to work at Irvine BMW Dealer. Check it out if you can...
