What's wrong with your car? I go to Monrovia all the time, excellent service.

still under warranty? or are you looking for an indy?

I would rather go to New Century in Alhambra. They seem to replace more parts on the house while Monrovia doesn't. Just my 2 cents.

New Century in Alhambra once screwed up an oil change. They didn't closed the cap tightly and oil leaked out. I drove for over 1k miles before the engine oil light came on and then popped open the hood to see all the oil stains. So I didn't have that great of an experience. Monrovia is ok. I go there now.

I think i'm having the wastgate problem. I was curious to know if they would make a big deal if i took the car with the AFE intake and Cobb tune? First time taking it to get service?

No Not under the BMW warranty anymore, i was also considering an indy? I used to have a Mercedes Tech that would do my work on my c230 at his house?

You can try AMB service center in duarte/bradbury. Fair prices and great job, ask for Ricky the owner tell him Albert matte black e92 sent you, he'll take care of you.

DTM Auto Salon in Pasadena. Just another suggestion.

Dan Taylor and his cohorts are great. Find him through Yelp. He has performed work on all three of our BMWs. Can't say enough. He used to work at New Century in Alhambra.

1980 E Walnut St
Pasadena, CA 91107
(626) 585-8825

Hope this helps.

I have a JB+ tune and I remove the tune and check for codes with my BT scan tool everytime I take my car in, so I don't know. Just to be safe, I would remove the tune, especially since its easy with Cobb. GL!

Thanks for the help guys. Hope they don't give me the run around and actually fix the problem.
