I'm looking for a good, reliable mechanic in the Miami or Broward (Florida) area to start servicing my 1999 323i which has been religiously serviced at the dealership since new.

But due to its age and mileage I think it's time to move away from the dealership and save some money.

Thanks in advance for your help.

i take my car to Active Autowerke (http://www.activeautowerke.com/main.cfm) for service

I also take my car to Active Autowerke.

i take my car to Active Autowerke also. ive heard good things about Redline but im not sure about where they r. pm BlueM3Racer for more info. he was the one that told me about Redline and he will know more about them.

Active sounds, I've heard, is pretty pricey though... any other shops in Miami? Active must charge a pretty penny anyway to have such a techy and nice looking facitliy... :rolleyes:

i dont consider them to be pricey. there prices r pertty competative, atleast to some of the place ive been to. they sure beat BMW dealer prices. and the work they do is great, i have nothing but good experiences with them.

Really? Better prices than dealer? Do you have like an hourly rate comp? Just curious, I called them last year when I was entertaining a BMW purchase and the ppi was higher than what Bill Ussery charged me to do a ppi on my Mercedes purchase :(

Guess, I will keep them in mind, anyway...

last i checked the dealer was up at around $90-92 and they were around $72 not 100% sure but ill check. i know the dealer up here is around there.

Hello, I have a friend that works in Branman BMW dealer as a mechanic; he can give u much better prices than the dealer..... :stickoutt
