Good indy shop in Houston, TX?

W12x · 10-11-2016, 10:44 PM

Just curious if there is any good indy shops that you guys know of in the Houston area, tried F2 once and bad experience, not going back there, so if there is any other recommendations I would really appreciate it

Alex Noll at ABRHouston. 832-797-9114. He is on Kuykendahl.

You used F2 over by Driver Source? They are not a normal shop BMW folks use.

I've taken my E92 M3 for service to Tanaka Motors off Sherwood Forest. The owner Marcello is a honest and straight up guy, reasonable priced(not the cheapest), and their shop floor is immaculate. Also, he does a maintenance for a few guys that have track ready M3's(older model). Here's his # 713-932-8201

alex @ abr
Hardworking, fair and honest. He's handled my car since its been out of warranty and did my bearings swap @100k. 104K and still strong

A few of the BMW autocross folks use Gashead Motorworks - mostly for track alignments - not sure what else they do.

ABR. I drive from Clear Lake to ABR which is about a 45min drive sometimes longer.

Having my car in the hands of Alex and his team is worth the drive.

Same I live in the Galleria and its 1 hr drive with the i45 traffic. Went there last week to get my airbag warning light coded since I installed my bucket seat.
