Orlando shop recommendations

ArcticRik · 03-07-2014, 10:04 AM

So I've been getting a burning smell from my 07 335i with 62,000 miles on it, brought it into fields and they're saying I need a few things
Valve cover gasket- $1228
Oil filter gasket- $572
Thermostat -$807
Water pump (optional, but labor is covered since they're going in for the thermostat)- water pump and thermostat together $1427

These prices are outrageous! Anyone have any recommended shops in the Orlando area that would be cheaper? Thanks!

I can help you out with all of that for extremely less.

Me too. I need oil filter gasket done.

ArcticRik · 03-09-2014, 07:16 AM

Thanks for the replies guys! Have a shop (Axis Motoring) close to my house work on the car for 1/3 of the price the stealership wanted.

Moving to Orlando from Melbourne here soon and looking for a good BMW shop for regular maitanence and small performance upgrades. I have read and heard good things about Axis, PSI, and Bimmertech. Any preference between them or am i missing any other shops to consider?

kel335i · 07-24-2014, 03:33 PM

Just curious as to why the water pump is 'optional'? If it hasn't gone bad yet, it surely will.

Axis motoring is amazing... I always go to them... Great service and unbeatable prices

Man them prices are crazy. I did the valve cover gasket a year ago for like $200. Took me 8 hrs start to finish. But knowing I made that car my bitch......priceless. Plus working on your own car makes you a real man

Ya stealership will rip you a new one, I got all that done at Axis for 1/3 of the dealership prices

I had good service from Lowes Auto Care in Longwood. That was a while ago though when I had to get my car towed there after like 2 pulleys flew off. Crazy fcukin day

I'm pretty sure he's referring to a local shop called BimmerTech
