man yeah I know it is a ripoff, but what is wrong with this guys, probably they think because you drive a nice car, you can afford to pay what ever they think.
Carlos,

It can be challenging to find a place in DFW within reasonable prices.
Folks out in So.Cal / Cali in general tend to have more options.

Have you tried getting quotes from the following shops:I've had my E39 serviced at LL European Auto. Great guys,
straight-up honest folks, who won't d*ck you around. Price
is reasonable and work is guaranteed. But I wouldn't hesitate
to go to Eurosport or Autoscope for service either.

Good luck man.

Print out this thread and show it to them. Then let them bow their heads in disgrace. That's what I'd do. =)

So Frank, you drove up to Lovers Lane and had sweaty men service your undercarriage?? Not that there's anything wrong with that!!
