Hey Simon, I only let Burt touch my car. I just had an oil change done 2 weeks ago in fact. He uses the real BMW synthetic oil good for 10000km, and it is only about $75. The dealer charges $150 for the same thing, I am telling you man, he is the best person to work on these cars, hands down. It's still n ot going to be super cheap, but compared to the dealer it's cheap!

Funny enough, I totally agree with you. I was going to make a complaint to Burt about it but the last time I spoke to her she was nice enough so I didn't bother. I think I will mention it to him next time I head in though because you are right, she is incredibly rude. The only reason I still go to that shop is because I don't trust anyone else with my car

My advice, never go to Euro werks again!!!

Griffing Motors on Kempt rd is the best place to go for BMW service other than under factory warranty.
