Need a relaible independent mechanic that use good parts in SOUTH FLORIDA area
Hello all,
I already posted this in the regional forum but just want to expand the audience. I have a 2006 330i (E90). Love it since day 1. My extended warranty finally ran out this summer and I already went to the dealer once to fix an ignition coil problem. Unfortunately the shop is outrageously expensive and charged me 350 for labor to replace ONE coil and I am not having it anymore so i am looking for an independent shop that would do good work, especially since the coil problem came back and i want to replace all of the coils and plugs in one go. I am located in the North Miami/Aventura area and I travel to Ft Lauderdale often so I would like the shop in that general area. I have gotten ads from Motronix and i wonder if they are any good at all. Thanks for any advice.

If I'm not mistaken Im pretty sure coils are a very easy DIY. Might want to give it a shot yourself.
Your mileage may vary but repairpal is a good site. obviously its luck of the draw but the one mechanic i found on there was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. |

I used Motronix for 6 years after the maintenance on my 2002 325xi was finished. They use genuine BMW parts. I have never had a bad experience with them. The only reason I do not use them now is because I bought a 2011 CPO 335i. When the CPO warranty is over on this car, I will go back to Motronix.

I will give Motronix a go. I hope their prices are more reasonable.

Are you able to build your own computer? I've found DIY'ing some of the simpler auto stuff easier than that.

In my opinion since you say you are "Computer Literate" i suggest you do some research on your problems and find out a Fix, before you go spend money on something that could have been done with 50$ and 20 mins of your time.. |

Very simple i promise you, its better to do some research before you go spend money where it shouldn't be spent.. There is no way you can fuck up changing a ignition coil. |
