Steve, you "must" go to Competition Autowerks in San Ramon, you will be very happy you did, ask for Tom, he's the owner, tell him Keith from Bay Bimmerz sent ya.

Thank you Keith, will Call Tom today and get a quote. I hope he is less expensive than the other mechanic I was dealing with, his rate was $110.00 per hour! Although I did find one for $69.00 per hour and he has BMW experience. Thank You again

There is a guy named Tom, who worked on my bimmer (many years ago) at Rheem Valley Automotive; 925-254-6000. Heard Tom retired, but shop is still there.

Have you considered Wolfgang's in Walnut Creek 925-947-6848?

you found a mechanic for $69/hr? where? let me know if he works out!

The $69 guy might get only half the work done in an hour that a $100 guy might do.

When I had my airplane, I learned by experience that the cheapest place to have work done had one of the highest hourly rates. They also did stuff right.

Steve, believe me when I tell you that "I" know that money is tight, BUT you get what you pay for and once Tom or one of his guys works on your car, you will "always" go back!
I have know idea what he's going to charge you, but please don't always go with the cheapest quote out there.
I just picked up my car from him today, 4 wheel alignment (Hunter) all wheels balanced (Hunter) and while he had it there I asked him to check out a pesky power steering leak coming from the bottom somewhere, they found a loose hose (I believe he told me) and it was all 160 bucks.

It's up to you, good luck, Keith
