Does anyone have a recommendation for a BMW Mechanic?

Hey RS,

Does anyone know of a BMW they can recommend?

Thanks!!!!


I have a BMW (E85, Z4) and I think my radiator hose is leaking. My car has been in storage for six months and I just insured it today and there was smoke coming from my engine bay... I pulled over and it seems like radiator fluid is leaking. The car temperature levels seem to be okay, but something is definitely leaking, and it looks to be anti-freeze.

Being that you are in Burnaby though I'd suggest TSS since its not far and they are good dudes. Not BMW specific, but I'd trust them with any type of car really.

TopStar Autoworks Corp in Richmond.

778-968-7777

Ask for Wei, he's a BMW Master Tech. He doesn't charge ridiculous prices, allows for you to bring your own parts, and he'll make sure you know what's going on. Plus, he's one of the only people aside from myself who has touched my E46 since ownership.


Funny side note, any time I visit Wei, there's always a BMW on a flatbed being towed to him or BMWs everywhere LOL

Except they charge a shit load of money too. As mentioned in jasonturbo's carbon cleaning thread, for what CG/Nixon quotes, it's fucking expensive. You might be able to get away with another indy. They're able to charge their price for the reputability in the community.

Peace of mind is worth the price - especially when driving around in BMWs imo
