shops in Buffalo for valve adjustment?

Planning on a trip to NYC and will most likely drop off my M at Buffalo city and get a rental (RPi is just not suitable for long trips..), any good shops that are capable of doing inspection/valve adjustment in that area?

My local shop at toronto quoted me 700CAD for a full inspection including oil change, if the price difference is significant then might as well do it in the states.

Thanks!

That's actually a really good price if they are doing all of the fluids as well. Rogue engineering charged me 500 just for valves. Oil change runs me 100 just in material. If you can have them do a brake flush and tranny fluid change for 700, you should do it there

^Makes sense, thanks for the tips!

I'm considering to purchase a pair of OEM front rotors from getbmwparts.com, however they dont ship internationally so I will have to find a location in Buffalo to receive the shipment.. Anyone willing to help out? Will compensate for the time and effort
Alternatively a bodyshop that would be willing to take the shipment would do as well, any recommendation regarding a good shop is much appreciated!

I can help out as long as you get the paperwork filled out for international shipping. Long story short, I double paid for a shipment because i had the wrong paperwork filled out. UPS really sucks!

My cousins buy their stuff and have it dropped off at my place and pick it up when they come to visit. If you're interested in doing the same, I could help you out but I live in Rochester.

I know this is a year old but this site requires you to make a post before you can fully use the site.

Came over from m3forum.net been trying to find someone in the buffalo area that does valve adjustments as well.
