BMWs We Work On

E36 (1990-2000):

These older 3-series BMWs are great cars, but they can have some common problems. We know how to fix things like:

Oil leaks and cooling system issues
Suspension squeaks and rattles
Electrical gremlins, especially with the onboard computer
Rust problems, which can be tricky on these cars
VANOS system repairs to keep the engine running smoothly
Replacing worn interior parts to keep your E36 looking fresh

The E46 is a fan favorite, and we love working on them. Here’s what we often do for these cars:

Fix the VANOS system (that’s the thing that helps the engine breathe better)
Strengthen the rear subframe to prevent a common failure
Replace window regulators when they stop working
Take care of oil leaks, which can pop up as these cars get older

M2, M4, and M5:

These high-performance BMWs need special care. We can:

Service their powerful engines, which often need extra attention
Upgrade brakes for track days or just better stopping power
Improve the suspension for better handling
Fix complex transmission issues, including DCT fluid services
Keep the cooling system in top shape to handle all that power
Perform alignments specific to M models for optimal handling

Regular Maintenance for Your BMW

Taking care of your BMW regularly is the best way to avoid big, expensive problems. We offer maintenance plans that follow BMW’s recommendations but also consider how you drive and where you live. Here’s what we typically do:

Oil changes with the best oil for your BMW
Check and replace fluids like brake fluid and coolant
Update your car’s computer software
Replace filters and spark plugs
Look over the whole car to catch any small issues before they become big ones

Customized Maintenance Schedules:

We understand that not all BMWs are driven the same way. That’s why we offer customized maintenance schedules:

Daily Driver Plan: For those who use their BMW for regular commuting, we focus on longevity and reliability.
Weekend Warrior Plan: If your BMW is a weekend toy, we adjust the maintenance to account for long periods of sitting and short bursts of high-performance driving.
Track Day Special: For those who take their BMWs to the track, we offer more frequent fluid changes, brake inspections, and suspension checks.

Our 2-Year Warranty

We stand behind our work. That’s why we offer a 2-year warranty on the repairs we do. This means:

If something we fix breaks again within 2 years, we’ll take care of it
The warranty covers both the parts we use and the work we do
You can even transfer this warranty if you sell your car

Warranty Details:

Covers parts and labor for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first
Includes free towing to our shop if the warrantied part fails
We’ll provide a loaner car if the repair takes more than a day

Tips for Taking Care of Your BMW

Here are some easy things you can do to keep your BMW in good shape:

Check your fluids regularly: Make sure your oil, coolant, and brake fluid levels are where they should be.
Keep an eye on your tires: Make sure they’re inflated properly and don’t have uneven wear.
Pay attention to warning lights: If a light comes on in your dashboard, don’t ignore it.
Use good gas: Stick to high-quality fuel from name-brand gas stations.
Change your oil on time: Follow BMW’s recommendations for oil changes.
Listen to your brakes: If they start making noise, get them checked out.
Watch your temperature gauge: If it starts running hot, that could mean trouble.
Keep it clean: Regular washing and waxing protect your BMW’s paint and prevent rust.
Drive it regularly: BMWs don’t like sitting for long periods. A weekly drive keeps everything lubricated.
Read your owner’s manual: It contains a wealth of model-specific information and tips.
