Hi,

Can you recommend a knowledgeable and not too expensive mechanical repair shop that does BMW's?
I live in Berkeley.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have had my BMW serviced at Phaedrus in SF and now Edge Motorworks in Dublin. Phaedrus offers a 10% BMW CCA discount on all parts while Edge offers 10% off of labor. Parts are also cheaper at Edge. I highly recommend either one, but if I had to choose one, it would be Edge hands down.

HTH,
Ken

Thanks, Ken!

Any recommendations for a good place to have the oil changed near Redwood City/Belmont?

thanks for the kind words!! Give us a shout, we can take care of you for sure!

any suggestions for service on the peninsula?

I would make the drive for Edge Motorworks, they offer great service!

Any other shops near Edge Motorworks that would be suitable for a PPI? It seems that Edge Motorworks is the place to go, but I guess the car is owned by someone who works there, so I'd like to find somewhere else to check it out.

Thanks,

I drive from SF to Edge for my service needs and mods.

I go to Kirk's Motorsport in Walnut Creek. He really knows his stuff. Only works on BMW & Benz. Small shop, great personalized service.

I don't think it's the same as M service. It's just called Kirk's Motorsport on 3rd Ave in Walnut Creek, right off North Main. He has worked on every Benz and BMW I have had and I am real happy with him.

In Santa Clara:

Chet's European
3295 El Camino Real # J, Santa Clara, CA

Edge is the only place I take my cars. from pre-purchase inspection to present :D

i used to use competition autowerks in san ramon.


tom (owner) was a neighbor of mine. he's a great guy and only does bmw's and miatas (he has a spec miata race team that tears up sears point).

Even if that's the situation, they will still take care of you just like they do everyone else. Edge 100%. I drive 40-50 minutes one way.

same here.

How much does the average inspection run @ EDGE? If it's not too much I'll drive over as soon as I can to get the beloved 528 checked up. All we've had to do in this car so far were replace the battery, and regular maintenance - seems a bit too good to be true.

Seems too good to be true on any BMW after a certain age...

Check out their site, I think the price of their underbody inspection is listed there.

You can email Erik or Gordon -

They will respond promptly with an estimate (unless they are out racing somewhere)

Edge Motorwerks Is The Way To Go In Dublin.. Best Shop Ive Been To So Far.. They Have Helped With All My Problems With No Complaints

I live in Berkeley.

All the suggestions are good, but since you live in Berkeley, why not try Bavarian Professionals? They're on 7th, off Gilman behind Pyramid Brewery.

I was just in there about a week ago getting the new Michelins mounted on the M3.

Cheers,
Jim

Oil change?? Shit, I'd do it. Takes like 15 minutes.

Thanks for the info, guys. Took my car to Edge like many here suggested. They did a great job.
