Independent Shops

AWD Addict · 07-14-2011, 02:39 PM

My warranty will expire at the end of this year (mileage will hit 50k), so I'm wondering if anyone knows a good shop who'll do a once over review of everything.

I have a guy in Cambridge I like, but he's pricey (however good.) I'm inclined to go to him unless someone has a good suggestion

I use Village European in Concord.

I took my 335 to village in concord for an oil change and track inspection a few weeks ago. I really liked them. Not cheap but fair. I will trust them with my car as soon as my free maintenance is done.

I took my previous BMW to these guys in Winchester. http://www.bavarianperformancegroup.com/

BMW only...and they do great work.

I heard from others that BPG was good. They're near my house, so I'll probably go there.

I work on alot of local cars if you are interested.

I am interested, but Leominster's a bit of a drive.

I have personally been to BPG and Turner.
BPG hands down for their service. Price pretty competitive as well.

cheers.

They're local to the downtown area.

I've used http://www.iautowerks.com/ for my audi. Alvin is an awesome guy to deal with. Once warranty is over I'll definitely be heading over to him

Werd.

Mark is a great guy, and I'd trust my car with someone who is a former Rolex 24hr Crew Cheif, and that has the balls to work on/tune an F40.
