Found a shop in NJ that has a good reputation: Rennsport.

Car is a 2009 e90 328i, 6MT, at 60K.

They quoted me the following for fluid changes and whatnot.

Oilchange and 60 pt inspection: $125 max
Coolant flush $135 plus mat.
Brake and clutch fluid flush $75 plus mat.
Power Steering fluid flush $104 plus mat.
Scan car for codes $75
Differential fluid flush $26 plus mat.

going to have the trans done as well but he didn't have a price for that yet.


This all seems a bit steep so far.

Any ideas?
Living in Brooklyn, no place to work on the car, and I don't have the tools nor the time, so DIY is not an option right now.

A little steep yeah. Coolant flush takes 30 minutes, so for them to charge you 125 meas they are basically making 100 in labor for a 30 minute job.

Brake fluid change same deal, takes less than 30 minutes.

Scanning car for codes is free anywhere you go. They are just hooking up a scanner to the car and reading codes. Anytime you take a car somewhere, they do this for free because if the car has any codes and needs anything done, they want to make money on that, not the scan.

I would say you could do better.
