Hit up Christian Wise. I do all my own stuff, but if I didn't I'd send it to him.
Recommend a good BMW mechanic
I am looking for someone that is reputable with BMW's. For the guys that dont do their own work, who do you use? More specifically I am looking for some one to do the recommended preventative maintenance on my E46 M3 with 55k.
Thanks

there is a BMW shop on Dutch Lane in Jeffersonville. I've never been there personally, but it always seems like they are pretty busy.
Talk to Russell at autobahn off poplar level just under the bridge. This guy used to be MJ's head tech and MJ's number two guy is also there as well. Russell used to also work for Steins. He really knows what he is doing and he is honest. If I didn't do my own work he is who I would use.

That's Mike Johns and that is where Christian is employed at.there is a BMW shop on Dutch Lane in Jeffersonville. I've never been there personally, but it always seems like they are pretty busy.
Mike Johns hands down. The new owners are trying hard to advance the company. I know they just got a new alignment rack and I believe a new Tig Welder also.
I suggest Mike Johns also. Very nice shop.
Is it a drive on/in the floor alignment rack?

I'm on boat with Mike Johns. Zach is super knowledgeable about BMWs! I would recommend Winning Formula, but I placed several calls with them awhile back and never got a response, so I went to the dealer instead =/
Zach is no longer at Mike's.
Well either way, avoid the dealer like the plague!Zach is no longer at Mike's.
I didn't realize he left!
PM /\/\oatilliata on the board (zach), he can probably help you out.
Any particular reason you say this?Well either way, avoid the dealer like the plague!
Probably because labor rates are ridiculously high
x2 they usually are and sometimes they are not the best either.Probably because labor rates are ridiculously high
They will put it in you. I like the parts dept don't get me wrong Jeff your a good guy but the service dept, you better have some lube cause its gonna hurt.x2 they usually are and sometimes they are not the best either.
As for Mike Johns, when Mike was there it was a great place now that he is gone not so much, and not because of the guys that work there. It has more to do with the new owners, u can't blame them but they want and every friggin dime they can get. I remember when Mike was there, u needed something small from a wrecked car out back he would say just go get it. He did this to build a relationship so when you needed something else you would return and if he had to order it you welcomed buying it from him. The new owners mentality is like if you don't buy someone else will and that's that. I understand this to a point they are ass hole deep in debt but so was Mike. I miss that connection and its almost pushed me away from brand altogether. I'm just really glad I work on my own stuff and I have the internet supplying me with most of my parts now.
You know I never avoided you for parts, but I never let them touch the E46 I had because of labor rates.Any particular reason you say this?
Actually just had my Christian fix my suspension and re-align my 540I today.
