I know, I'd do it myself but unfortunately I don't have the facilities right now as something happened at my house, so I want to find a shop.

I don't want to go to my normal shop and pay their hourly rate of ~60-70/hr for an oil change.

Any recommendations for a good BMW shop w/ a flat fee for an oil change?

Phaedrus?

Give Gordon a call at Edge in Dublin. I think they charged around 60-70, which includes parts (synth. oil, and filter) and labor. They always go above and beyond for their customers. Truley great people at Edge!!!!!!

maybe you can find someone local to change the oil at. where are you located?

.... thx...i've heard great things about edge, but its too far for an oil change and for those prices I'd just go to my normal shop...vanguard.

I'm in Berkeley....why don't you just buy your own oil, I have the filters at my shop and bring it in and I'll get it on the rack and change it in about 15 minutes.

Thanks for your offer Sarah...I just tried to PM you but you PMs disabled.

Where in Berkeley is your shop and what time is it open?

If you don't want to respond here, please PM me!

I bought it to the chinese shop on Gough st... it's a small shop but they do european cars, I have them changed my oil last time, I brought in my own oil tho. total is 27 something, that's included the maan filter.

this time I bought 2 oem filter on ebay for 12 bux, bought my own oil, I will change it later by myself I guess, I just need a oil container... o btw, I am in sj and sf.

I heard nothing but good things about Phaedrus...And if you are willing to go to Berkeley...I've had good experiences at Bavarian Professionals.

Well I got quoted for $150 for oil service at Vanguard. If it were just an oil change then it would take less time thus cheaper.

A full oil service I guess includes checking of fluids, brake inspection, battery test and other things.

Got an apt for this Friday....

I changed my oil yesterday at night and it took like an hour with draining time.

$150 for oil service :confused

Did they tell you they would do all those other services for you? Or are you guessing? I'm just trying to clarify.

No not guessing, they mentioned those among others that qualify as a official BMW oil service. So is it worth it? Since I've had the car I've done all my oil changes till now.

I just checked w/Bavarian Professionals...They want $210 for the Oil Service...so it sounds like a good deal. They did say that the Oil change is the only maintenance...everything else is a visual check, or road test check.

Here is a list of recommended service items someone gave me in another thread:
