Maintenance costs
 

my nearest dealer charges 132.00 per hour repair costs....just paid close to 600.00 of 950.00 repair for labor....window regulator and scheduled maintenance...I live in DC. Does anyone know of a reputable and reasonable shop in the are?

Every dealer charge $132.50 per hour. As far as maintenance. What exactly do you need done. Service I or II. Service I is pretty much do it yourself. Search the forum and you will find lots of gem... I do offer oil change but I'm out in Herndon. PM me.

I am a big fan of EDA Motors in McLean, VA. Its a garage attached to a chevron station on Old Dominion but they do BMWs and the guy used to work at a dealership.

They aren't the cheapest, but they aren't as expensive as the dealer. Max is the guy you are looking for.

I am gettting work done on my 05 X5 @ a NJ Dealer and they charge $150/hr but they discounted for me to 135 b/c my cousin works at the dealer.

What a crock!!!

And you thought you were getting discount.

:rofl: I'm sorry, that sucks! I would ;pimpdahoe; your cousin!

SA: Bend over and everything will be fine
YOU: but my cousin works here

SA: in that case, bend over and we'll use a bit of vaseline.
YOU: ugh....:wow:
