IS Garage is owned by a former BMW of Seattle certified BMW tech, so maybe they have?

From their site: "There is nothing we know better than OEM maintenance for your vehicle. Our Head Technician & Owner, Ian Shoel, is a Certified BMW Tech from BMW of Seattle. He comes with over 15 years of experience and leads our technicians with top quality service."

I received a quote for rod bearing labor but am still waiting on my next oil change to decide if I want to do it.

Have been pondering this service myself. I have heard many good things about IS garage although I havent been there personally. Please leave a detailed review when you get the work done. Would be much appreciated. TIA

Ive done my rod bearing and supercharger install at the same time at I.S garage about a year ago.
Paid around 2000 for the install and VAC coated rod bearings.
10k miles since i have replaced it no issue yet.

I've had good service and have read good things about Broad Stroke Associates in Clearview. He may have come from Seattle BMW as well.

When BMW Seattle moved from Capital hill to SODO, they sold the old lifts, several of their techs bought them and opened their own garages.
