Just wondering if anyone could recommend me somewhere in markham for an oil change for a good price?

possibly thinking of going to Mike at Maranello and buying the oil change kit then bringing it somewhere to get it done.

could someone tell me the price for the oil change kit from Mike?

any recommendations?

thanks guys

I bought the oil change kit from Mike at Maranello (can't remember how much but it was a good price) and me and my friend did the oil change. Was pretty easy with the pictures on the DIY section

I've been to Bimmex: http://www.bimmex.ca/

Got a awesome customer service, and first oil change is 50% off, it worth a try !

Yep, it is a very small place and says europa in the front

I've been there once so far, just to change the oil... but I sure will return

The seemed to be knowledgeable and very polite, I really liked the customer service, I filled their tech with questions and the guy patiently answered all of them, took the time to show me stuff around the car and explain some things, and gave me some advices on maintenance stuff, but didn't try to sell me nothing

So i went yesterday for an oil change. Not to bad. Customer service was great. $49 for a first time customer oil change. well worth the try.

thanks for all the suggestions guys. greatly appreciate it.

1. speedstar wanted $160 for oil change providing their oil (motul oil). Is this oil good for our car?

what do you guys think of this price? i think its abit much.

2. bring my own oil and filter to speedstar will cost me 35 for labor.

i think im just going to buy the ramps (rhino ramps) and do it myself. the DIY looks straight forward.

thanks again guys.

called Bimmex and they said they will not be using original bmw oil but Castrol. any difference?

[bobblehead]

Wow. that's more than dealer's price of about $130.

I use Motul x-clean. It costs $40 (tax incl.) for a 5L jug.

RMP charges only $25 for labor if you bring your own oil & oil filter.

That's funny b/c I called Bimmex (http://www.bimmex.ca/services/) yesterday and they said they would be using Total oil.
There is a 50% first time discount (reg price is $87.50 for 6cyl) for oil change.

I went to Bimmex for that special long time ago.

They "Forget" to mention to you they will not reset any service light , or top any fluids on oil change. You have to pay for Oil Service to get anything more then oil change.
