Can anyone recommend a highly ethical and knowledgable independent BMW auto repair shop or mechanic in the Bay Area please. Someone who does the job the right way and adheres to proper procedures such as using the proper torque to tighten things up.

South Bay/Silicon Valley preferred but willing to go anywhere in NorCal Bay Area.

Thank you

Thank you. Is Cesar a licensed mechanic, and is this a one man shop, someone working out of their house? Just wondering since I can't find their location on Google.

I would highly recommend performance autowerk in Dublin. They are the most ethical shop I've ever been too. Honest and always got your back in terms of installation or repair. They specialize in BMW

Akins auto repair - champion on European cars, especially BMW's. Owner has a couple of BMW's himself and are very honest and economical on the wallet also! For service there is fast lane European - ask for mason!

TBH dude, if you're looking for a 'licensed' shop you're not going to get the service and pricing either of the above can offer you. If you need that 'security' then you're going to pay more than double what these guys can offer you.

Plenty of licensed shops like SpeedElement in San Jose, TrakSpec (sp?) in Fremont, among others.

These cars realistically are not that hard to work on. You just need the right tools and the time.

Either recommendation above is going to do you right, I know both of them and theyre both good dudes.

Hello, thanks for all the recommendations. It's been a while, do all the above still stand?

Any new recommendations?

Hellaburbles is still that guy

TrackSpec in Fremont if you're looking for a reputable and licensed shop. Quality builds come out from that shop. Talk to Jon Vo.

Any other recommendations, maybe closer to South Bay?

What's a fair price for water pump and thermostat replacement in the Bay Area? Labor and parts included (water pump, thermostat, bolts, coolant, etc.)

SJ at M-Auto in Concord. Taken my 335i and X5d to him. This shop is now owned by SJ. Great work.
