Shop or tech in Tacoma area to install h2o pump

TrendyBull · 03-21-2014, 04:19 AM

Looking for recommendations on a good shop (or someone inclined to do so) for a water pump and thermostat change as well as the lpfs (low pressure fuel sensor) on my 08 335. I don't have the time and setup to do it myself. Anyone with recs or interest would be appreciated.
Cheers

The car is currently in Puyallup

I have Rolf import did it plus a free tow from Graham from Mark for me. Call them and let them know Taran sent you. My water pump and thermo cost $880 with labor from them.

They're out in University Place correct? Noticed the also have a Fife location... Any knowledge on that shop? Would be closer to me coming from Puyallup.

I'm actually only 6 miles from the one in fife, ha, I Iive downtown. Unless there's a difference in shops and you'd just simply recommend taking it to Lakewood anyways, they'd be easier.

I always use Lakewood because (Mark) the owner is always there. His son runs the one in Fife but he handles extra work from the dealerships there so that's why I don't even try to bother because he'll put other cars on hold to get the dealer jobs done.

I do take 6 of my cars there so I'm a repeat customer lol

Yeah, they mentioned that. They wanted $1100 just for labor and I've got all the parts... that price is just ridiculous in my opinion considering you had it all with parts for almost a few bills less

Hmmm that's really weird, they got the parts for me too. $880 was my total cost with parts and labor. Even a free flat bed tow from my house to the shop which is 20 miles away.

For my '08 335xi water pump & thermostat replacement Mark quoted $1276 parts and labor after tax. BMW Northwest quote $1400 part & labor plus tax.
The diff maker is who can get to the job first and how good the warranty is!

prelude2perfect · 10-15-2014, 07:41 PM

That's way overpriced. I did mine myself and it wasn't entirely too hard. I'd be willing to do it for way less if you don't want to waste your money at a shop.

danielfastv6 · 10-16-2014, 11:16 AM

hit me up maybe I can help

Krauzen · 10-17-2014, 10:41 AM

I had to have the car towed and Rolf's offered to help with towing so I had them tow it and fix it in their shop. If I was not in a big bind like that I'd hit you guys up for help. Know anybody that can do walnut blasting?
