Shout out to all Strong Islanders on here:

Does anyone have recommentdations on any shops on the Island? I am in Nassau...

I know of (who doesn't) Little Garage in Huntington, haven't been there myself, but have heard conflicting reviews and differences about their LIC vs. their Huntington location.

Another one I know is RMP North, formerly RMP Racing Inc. in Plainview. Craig has been more than helpful when I brought her in...

Wondering if anyone has any others they trust with their bimmers. Has anyone tried Bavarian Auto Service Corp. in Huntington?

Thanks in advance...

I have used RPM and TKX (were once one shop and split owners?). Both were OK, but expensive. I would recommend them for exotics, but for most BMWs its overkill.

Adam (above) is great. Most people go to them. I have been using them since I found out about them, and they do great work for a good price. They can usually fit you in pretty quickly too which is a huge plus for me bc I cannot normally wait weeks to get work done or be without my car for long.

Adam .. tell Eddie sorry I didnt call on sunday. I wanted to swing by on my way back up to CT, but ended up running out of time and had to rush back for work

Try Roger @ Specialty Car Line Pro Techs BMW in Westbury, very reasonable, quality work...516-876-2063 Used to be head mechanic at Hassel and opened up his own shop about 7 years ago...you can bring your own part if want to and he gives options to best suit your budget. Tell him Bing referred you. He probably has hundreds of customers by now:buttrock

Forget the Little Garage unless you want to kiss you $ goodbye, sometimes charges even more than a dealer! They used to be in Woodside, NY
