IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This thread is in no way to be used as a bypass for our forum supporting vendors. Our Supporting Vendors are the reason we have this forum, and they are the reason we can keep increasing it's capacity to sustain the growing number of members we have added every day. I will not add a shop or vendor to this thread that is in direct competition with a supporting vendor. You may still use this list to find local information but I will not have as part of this list for example a shop that sells performance parts locally in lieu of our supporting vendors. The only shops that will be noted are ones that can assist you were it is not possible for a supporting vendor to. Thank you, and please support our vendors!

Please be aware: I would like to avoid Feedback here. If you see someone post a suggestion and you disagree or dislike the suggestion please avoid posting your opinion about it. Per forum rules, every consumer needs to discover and explore all of their options THEMSELVES. If they want to know if a vendor/shop is good or not, they'll post a thread and ask the Forum members their opinion. This is to be a fact-only thread, thank you in advance! :smoke3

If you guys have any suggestions, please make them! This is designed to make it easy for you to just have one place to look for all of your BMW Motorsport needs. If you need something or you just want to know what's going on, all you have to do is check the 1st post of this thread and you always know where to go after this! :alright

Hope this helps. If you like it, vote to have it parked. ;)

Bump. C'mon PNW, let's make this the BEST regional forum! :alright

Alot of those traffic attorney numebrs are "disconnected" -- Interesting.

And one was to an old assistant that no longer worked for the lawyer.

Can anyone get me Mitch Green/Greene's real phone number (that works?)

I think Mitch Green is Tacoma and Mitch Greene is Seattle.... I have the Seattle number but I think its a different attorney.

I will try and post the phone numbers that no longer work here. That must be an old list.

Alot of those traffic attorney numebrs are "disconnected" -- Interesting.

And one was to an old assistant that no longer worked for the lawyer.

Can anyone get me Mitch Green/Greene's real phone number (that works?)

I think Mitch Green is Tacoma and Mitch Greene is Seattle.... I have the Seattle number but I think its a different attorney.

I will try and post the phone numbers that no longer work here. That must be an old list.

Chris,

I just went through the state bar website and verified the information. Removed two of the lawyers (one was retired, the other I simply couldn't find any variation of his name). The numbers should be right. There is only one Mitch Greene - I spelled it Green when I searched and only one came up for "M Green", so that's it!

I have always taken my car here (trying to do more of the work myself now) and have no complaints. They know their stuff, and good service. :buttrock

Great idea, how do you vote to have this parked?
Thanks! Added this to the list and added one other shop I forgot about.

Thank you for the contribution! That's what makes this forum grow. :thumbup:

Just updated the Install & Repair Shops section and the Software Installers & CEL Check section. :thumbup:

Thanks Chea. I know DTM is a little more active on the local front, but some people don't belong to DTM so I'm trying to make the local forums here just as active, if not more! :D It's hard to go back and forth between multiple forums. Right now I belong to 6, but I only visit BF.c often (uh, multiple times daily actually).

Voting for Parked = 5 :D

Mods?

I vote stickey. The only area of DTM I go to is their PNW lol.

Thanks for updating the list.

Premium Body Shops Not Listed:

Queen City Auto Rebuild (In Samammish I think) does really good work and they work on Ferraris (the Ferrari dealer reccommends this place). I believe theyre a bit cheaper than the next two.

BEL RED Auto Rebuild Used to give discouts to BMW owners because of all the business BMW of bellevue gave them. They work on alot of Porsches/Mercedes.

Bellevue Auto Rebuild is pretty high volume but very good as well. They do alot of Mercedes/Honda.

I was most impressed with BEL RED and they gave me the highest quote at ~$900 to repaint my rear bumper after someone hit it and put a scratch on it.

Queen City! That is the one I was trying to remember too! They did my buddy's Boser hood on his GTI - made the lip, welded it on, did the finish work and painted it and it looked like it came that way - perfect. I'll update the list, thanks Chris!

yeah i know how you feel man this type of thing should be on dtm also care to do the honors:D

Soon to come a section dedicated to ICE - In Car Entertainment. Stereo, accessories, etc. etc.

Possibly also a section for finding the right wheels. ;)

It would just be cut and paste, huh? :D

When I get a few minutes. It took me about 3 hours to write this all up... but if I would have had it just a couple times over the last couple of weeks it probably would have saved me a few hours, so that's why I did it.

Just updated the Autobody section. :thumbup:

Eastside Bavarian :)

Eastside Bavarian :)
That's what I'm talkin' about. :alright. Thanks!

Also, if you guys have suggestions for places to get wheels (besides our supporting vendors, they should be first on your list) and ICE, let me know.

*cough*sticky*cough*

Updated service shops - added Eastside Bavarian and Strictly BMW

Updated software/tuner shops

Fikse

They're located in Kent. Don't know if they have a showroom or not.
The resale value are crazy for them if you have to resell them for any reason.

You forgot to add Haury's Lake City Collision. :)

Bavarian Autosport (bavauto.com) is another good place to order parts too.
Some stuff a bit pricey but overall good service.

Car Tender
That's where ali got his sc put in i think. Heard good things about them.

I was just going to add Car Tender and then I saw your post!

They are THE BEST. Akers (best Porsche guys in the PNW) reccommend them highly. They are very nice too, they have replaced lights in the 8 for free, very honest, etc. Im not sure how their pricing stacks up but they probably do the best work in the area.

They actually do everything except Porsche....I think.

Booya... updated repair/installer shops :thumbup:

Added Fat City German Car to the repair shop list. :)

Updated some ICE. ;)

Added 3 more shops to Repair Shops. :D

Added user 'todor' for availability of an SRS Airbag light reset tool.

Will also be separating shops/results by state soon.

This is a great thread, I vote for "sticky" :)
One suggestion: add sample prices for stuff, for each vendor/shop (like dyno test, CEL reset, oil change, body work, etc).

I would, but it's against forum rules. You have to "allow the user to do his own consumer shopping". :thumbup:


"When posting an item for sale...
.... is the responsibility of the purchaser to look for the best deal - not for forum members to point out. "

Great job on this thread. I add my vote to sticky this thread.

Any suggestions for shops for ICE, Wheels, etc or detailing shops? I know you've been modding for a while like me. :D

Any other suggestions for this thread? If you guys would like it Parked, please vote for sticky.

I kind of don't think this will get parked.

From the harsh response i got for the link and advertisement deal. This is kind of like giving free advertisement too.

Who knows though it might still get parked. There's lots of useful information at a click of a button.

I am trying to structure this in a way that will not take away from supporting vendors. I am putting supporting vendor information in as the Primary source in every area I can... the only problem is a shop in cali can't install a S/C in Kirkland; a lawyer in New York can't go to court for you in Portland OR... etc. This thread is an answer to all of those threads you see every week (if not every day) that say "who knows a good 'bla bla' in 'bla bla'". A supporting vendor can't do bodywork on your car locally (at least we don't have any that are supporting vendors). I will add a disclaimer to the first post, but this thread is really a guide for people to find trusted shops that others have used and like, and that our supporting vendors can't fulfill because it doesn't apply.

I am going to do some modifications to make it more clear however. I know the Mods are watching... :devillook

Okay cleaned it up so it is more clear what the intention of the thread is. I hope it helps a lot of people find what they need.

Hey guys

im new around here and wana join in on your guys events

FWIW, the Portland/Vacnouver PNWBB guys get together, usually every other Thursday at the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne during the summer, we've been pretty lax over the winter but will likely start picking up soon. PNWBB was started mostly by E21 & other classic Bimmer guys, but all are welcome, it's really more of a local group than anything else. PM me if any of you are interested.

Just FYI. Torque Freaks no longer exists, well it does but not under the same name and definately not at that location. Chris, the owner of HorsepowerFreaks bought it out last year and uses the old TF location to develop, test, build, tune, ect. new products for their cars. Last I heard Jason of TF opened another shop in the beaverton hillsboro area, but I'm not sure where or what it's called. But you might want to update that list on there and remove TF.

If anyone needs a mechanic in the pullman, WA area, I -very- highly recommend Jorg at DEDA Auto repair. The man knows his Euro's like no other, and is very helpful, reasonable with payment, and extremely affordable.
