Despite this being over a year ago, do you remember who you worked with?

I got a $1,200 quote a month ago.

That would be awesome if you could and PM me. The lady there basically had no idea what I was talking about and another service rep was just as clueless.

Cedar Rapids IA - BMW dealership $644.

Correction: Turned out to be $577

Nitrousbird · 05-20-2015, 04:59 AM

$130.

$70 for the media blasting kit, $25 in Walnut shells, $35 in the cheap Harbor Freight blaster kit. You should already own an air compressor and shop vac and the basic tools necessary to perform the job.

Same story in Greece. The (official BMW) guy even implied I was an idiot who listens to internet 'stories' if I think it ever needs doing in the lifetime of the car. FFS. Amateurs. If they don't get a script how to train a monkey to do it from BMW DE, it's not needed.

$325 with new gaskets in Cleveland Ohio

And 4 to 6 hours. I love wrenching but this one looks like a PITA.

paid 750.00 out the door and they provided me a loaner car, very nice establishment.
offered me to watch the procedure. no high pressure upsell, not like the dealer
but over all gave the car a complementary check over, and vac and hand wash.
