So my car has a recall notice for VANOS bolts:

Has anyone had their car done at a BMW dealership in the GTA?

I know some service departments are better than others but just want to make sure that I bring it to the right place so they do the recall properly.

I generally do the work myself but since it's a recall I have to put my trust in their mechs

It says this recall was updated a couple days ago. When was it initially issued?

I've read that there has been some vehicles where the vanos adjusters start coming apart due to broken bolts.

I think the recall was issued by Transport Canada in October 2023. I just ran my vin with BMW Canada in Nov and it says my car is affected.

Mine is not showing the lose vanos housing bolt recall but is showing the 2022-095, the PVC valve heater.

I usually go out of my way to take it to bmw Markham for recalls, the only time it will go to a dealer.

I’d also recommend avoiding Endras or whatever the Ajax location is now called.

Some have said to avoid Parkview also.

Bmw Mississauga may be ok, also owned by Pfaff like Markham.

Parkview was good to me. Pricing was steep though.

Done the recall service. No problem with the service however a month later, I get mail from SiriusXM saying that I'm being offered free complimentary subscription. It also stated that "your recent service of your BMW at a dealer"... Basically, the dealership sold my information to them since I never been to any other dealer. What the fuck I never consented to this.
