Just wanted to share my story due to the excitement i got from getting lucky to find a great BMW Tech. So about a month ago my free maintenance warranty ran out and the reality of paying for fluids, tune up and so on hit me dead in the face and wallet. I went to the Stealership to get an error code checked out and i ran into a tech that a friend recommended. I asked him if he did work on the side and he gave me his number to give him a call later that day. Well, we spoke and set up an appointment to get my car taken care of with its first out of warranty tune up. This guy replaced my spark plugs, oil change, micro filter, brake bulb replaced, battery replaced, plugged a hole in one of the tires, topped out the coolant, re-adjusted the tire pressure on all 4 wheels and reset all error messages on the idrive. And the cost of all of this....................... $100.00 I was super excited and pleased at the quality of his work and care for my car. Very professional and clean, he wore gloves and threw an apron over my fenders to avoid scratching them. Anyway, just wanted to share my story as i was very pleased.

And you didn't throw the guy and extra $100 bucks??
How do you expect this guy to keep coming back.
