So, I might not be sharing anything new here, but I found a great BMW mechanic yesterday. Completely by accident - was passing by this place and it said "BMW, Mercedes, Audi Service", so I decided to stop by and ask for a quote for a brake job (just to get a feel for the place). The quote was 200 for labor on all four corners rotors and pads (service interval reset included and all) - it is pretty good, no? anyway, looked around the shop a little more and turns out they are also a Dinan dealer hmmmmm now, how come I've never gone to this place before, even though its 2.5 blocks away from where I live? So I gave the guy my info and asked him to get back to me with options for various Dinan upgrades (he said that the guy that actually knows all about Dinan is off til Monday, so that's why). But that's not all: I called my friend, who is a long-time BMW owner and asked him if he's ever heard of the place. He told me its actually like the only decent Dinan shop in the whole NYC!!! Whoaa! Ain't I lucky to live so close?! Well, anyway, just wanted to post up their info - see if any of you guys know them and what they are like to deal with.

Man, that's a great find. $200 for brake job is not bad.

Good find. But my friend is a mechanic at BMW Manhattan, I know another friend that works in the Parts department. The person who does my work before I found out all this, works on BMW. Always room for more BMW mechanics.
