BMW shop in Kitchener/Waterloo? Scan tool?
Hey all, just moved to K/W. Looking for a good indie shop and also wouldn't mind finding someone local with a scan tool, need to recode a battery replacement. Any suggestions most welcome!
I see we have no official owners thread for this area |

You can also try Jason at Foreign Automotive near Strausburg & Bleams, who is mostly an Audi/VW guy, but has started some code work for BMW too. For the battery, I just got mine done at the dealer, because it wasn't that big of a price difference vs. running around.

I am in Guelph working nights this weekend, I have not done a battery replacement but willing to try and see if the BT tool can do it.

Thanks guys. Looks like the battery itself is a pricey enough item that I might as well just hit up the dealer . Appreciate the shop recommendations and offers for assistance though!

Canadian Tire (who I've used for Audi replacement batteries for years, with success) has a replacement for $200-ish (AGM technology, parameters look fine) but I'm not positive it fits in the mount properly and vents properly. By the time I add in labour for install and recoding I'm sure I'd be near $300 anyways, plus the potential hassle of swapping it and finding it doesn't fit. There are cheaper options listed but I don't think they are sufficient for the vehicle. http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mo...p.0104920.html This is the one I was looking at. |

Thanks sir, the battery has been behaving better in the recent milder temps, but will give him a call after xmas break.
For the record, though Canadian Tire sells the battery and notes the car requires coding to install it, but they won't do it; asked a couple of them when I was in picking up shovels and salt over the last week. Not that I'd ever let CT touch my car |
