Who repairs your ti?

[tol4o]

I am just curious to know who repairs you ti when something needs to be fixed

[stormos]

depends what it is....

[robcarync]

me usually...if its something kinda tough that im not sure how to do, then an independent mechanic called 'European Performance"

[jg e36]

Usually myself. If the task requires some tooling or skill that I don't have i go to an independent mechanic

[Panzer_M]

Yourself
Independent mechanic
BMW dealership

all three depending on what the issue is.

Depending on what needs to be fixed and how much time I have, I'll usually do it myself. If it's too complex or I have no time, I'll just take it to an independent mechanic (Sam's Automotive- specialty in BMW's).

I usually repair everything by myself. I have a friend independent mechanic, who owns a repair shop. He allows me to use his equipment. BMW it's a car like any other. It's not too hard to fix it when you have the right tools. I use the BMW dealership just to get some parts that are not available anywhere else. In the beginning of the summer I decided to fix my dead A/C. I found that one of the A/C line was leaking. BMW dealership asked me for $145 which is kinda expensive. So I went to the closest junk yard and got the same pipe line from BMW 325i, the price $5 . So I kinda saved like $140 which is good. If anybody has problem with the auxilary cooling fan low speed, let me know. I have a solution, which works %100 for the price of about $20

other than when i took my car to get the dinan chip at the dealer, i havent been to the dealer in about 2 years or so...ive taken my car to europenan performance twice in the last few years that i can remember...knock sensors, and alignment...i go there to pick up oil filters and parts that not every place has (IE: rear shcok mounts and such)

[DustenT]

My car hasn't been to a BMW dealership since I've owned it. I do take it in to have alignments done and wheel balancing, since I don't own a laser aligment tool or a balancer.

i started doing all the work on the car myself after the warranty ran out, and it has saved me a bundle, plus its like having a girlfriend the deeper you get involved the more you know her.

[Viper3812]

If it's something minor or a simple mod, I do my own work. If the car has a major problem or need it to go on the lift I take it to my mechanic: BimmerPlace in Orlando or GermanCars of Sarasota pending where I am at the time.

[mohaughn]

On the Ti I do most of the repairs myself. I do however usually have it inspected by The Bimmerplace in orlando if it is due for an inspection 1 or 2. Josh is usually much better at spotting things that may cause me trouble before I spot them.

The only time I go to the dealer is for my 1 car that is still under warranty. Other than that I refuse to go to the dealer for service.

[Budget M3]

Do the little stuff yourself, but I've found that a good independent mechanic is worth his (her) weight in gold.

[Bluebimma]

I do my own work....occasion trip to the dealership for comfirmations, but all work is done myself.
