Best East Bay/ Walnut Creek Shop?

mattr88 · 05-18-2014, 06:57 PM

I just moved to Walnut Creek, CA from Idaho. Looking for a good shop in the area for general maintenance, oil changes, tuneups etc. Any suggestions? I always hate bringing my car to the dealer for these things...

Edge Motorworks in Dublin. Great people, super connected with the local BMW community and they provide BMW CCA members a 10% discount on labor. I've always enjoyed visiting them and they do great work.

There is also Performance Technic in Dublin that specializes in BMW. I bring my Z4M there and they never disappoint! Boyfriend brings his e92 M3 there and got his e36 M3 supercharged motor rebuilt there. Every year they host a meet with client cars and food. They also sponsor races and have their own racing team. Joe is the main guy to talk to, Ernesto is at the desk, and Matt is the foreman. They weld too!

Thanks for the feedback! Its great to know there are good shops to go to when needed. There was only 1 in Boise, ID, The Hurless Brothers, and they had a 3 month backlog, but would get you in if you really needed it. Always enjoyed working with them. I look forward to getting more involved in the BMW community out here.
