Anyone on here have experience with Motorsport Connections in Winston-Salem?
They do walnut blasting for a decent price (I forget exactly what they quoted, but I think it was around $500). I need my OFHG replaced, so I am thinking of going there and getting both done. It's kind of out of the way for me, but I'm not a big fan of another shop I've used before in Greensboro.

I hate trying to decide where to take my car.... I don't trust anyone. I have a warranty so they will be paying for the OFHG repair, so I don't care what the cost is, but I'll let you know how much it ends up being.

I have been taking my car to Carr Industries for 3 years now and have had good results with them. They seem to be the most reasonable with their prices as well. A coworker also has been taking his car there as well and has liked them.

Ended up taking my 135i to Shade Tree Garage in Raleigh. Really nice people there. $475 for walnut blasting. They did a great job and even gave me a free loaner while they worked on it.

Called them today and got it for $360 for my '11 335is with 86k on it !! $90 cheaper than MP Motorwerks, $200 $300 less than Dynamic Auto Tune and BMW in Matthews. EuroWise is also $200 more and they don't use walnuts, they use soda.

I have never done the walnut blasting on my car, I have approx. 112k on the car wondering if its worth it? I would like opinions on people who have gotten it done.

I guess it doesn't really matter if it's running fine. It also depends if it's a n54 or n55 motor. n54s tend to get buildup a lot faster than the n55. Me personally though, I'd want the most performance out of my car so I might do it just for peace of mind.

Just called Carr Industries in Greensboro and they quoted me $700 seems a little high compared to other prices people have posted. Im thinking about taking it there since I havnt been able to find another shop that people recommend near me.

Yeah it's not a common service, so I guess they feel like they can charge a premium. It only takes around 4-5 hours so $700 would be way too high in my opinion.
