Listnig of BMW shops in MA
I am loking for authorized BMW shops (non-dealer) to work on my BMW. I am specifically looking to have oil changes and basic things done (pluas, a 1,200 mile oil change after the break-in).
Any help appreciated. |

I live in the City (North End) and my parking is a public garage.
Things I need done are strut tower brace, fogs, and oil changes (and other things along the way). |

Are they HID fogs, or halogen replacement?
Strut bar is easy.. if you just need a torque wrench, you could swing by and install it..

Just the regular halogens... it looks like a pain to do just on the street.
I am also not 100% sure the OEM strut bar fits the sedan (some people raising doubts) |

Yeah, I've heard about the OEM strut bar and was going to ask you about this..
Halogens aren't bad at all. Just takes some time. I did mine last week. What are you puting in?

Yeah, Regina is great, but the last 3 times I picked up pizza, things got messed up in one way or another. So now, we alternate with Upper Crust. I also live across from Mikes, so I gained a little weight when I first moved here. |

Have you guys used Landshark Automotive in Natick?
Also, I am looking into the secondary cat delete/redo piping mod that a few others have done already. Landshark is balking at that mod, but they would be more than happy to install an Eisenhaus exhaust. |

Turner Motorsport (for the hard stuff or high precision, I would go here. You can't see your car being worked on though, so that's a real turnoff). $$$$$$
Mighty Motors in Somerville (Jim is gone though, sadly.. ask for Sam, younger dude, nice guy) $$$$ Mike's (?) .. there's another new place in Somerville.. the mechanic there is a prestigious race mechanic, the details elude me, never been there. PM me if you want me to look it up. Landshark in Natick is recommended by some, and I know someone who goes there. I've never used them. $$$$$ |

I know a bmw tech
hey guys,
I have a friend that works for BMW for over 10 years as a tech (I dont want to give out his work info)...anyways, he does oil change and other stuff at a residential garage on his free time. He charges $45 (or maybe $50) for an oil change. I'm sure he can do other stuff also. Let me know and I'll intro him to you. Ska
