Its been a while fellas, but I moved down to the DMV area and been looking for a mechanic that knows BMW. Anyone in the area familiar with some good referrals that I can check out?

I'm going to Autodynamics in Rockville to get my car "checked out" before the warranty expires (going tomorrow), will tell you how it goes.

Welcome to the DMV. It's a nice area and the roads outside the city arent bad.

I left there in 2006 after living in NoVA for nearly two decades. Warren Buffett's bank account wouldn't be enough to get me to ever move back.

Good luck with the car.

It's just not for me. I could go on a rant, but I don't want to bash the place if there are those on this forum that are happy living there. I still have most of my family there.

In the early 2000s, I used to work at a place in Manassas called Eurobahn with a guy named David Cook. David was as honest as the day is long and a seriously competent mechanic, especially with BMW. From what I understand he has his own place now called Evolve Sport, just in case anyone was looking for a good independent in the NoVa area.

European service center right near Tucarora Mill, you will see a white old building almost across parking for this Mill. ask Patric from Russin, if he is not there then ask for Brian (he is tech)
