Best Indy Shop Seattle Area

Looking for a good independent to do a PPI in the Seattle area, any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks because the dealer wanted $400+ for a PPI

Does that seem high to anyone else or is that about the going rate for the Seattle area?

Strictly BMW charged me $250 or so for a PPI 5+ years ago...like everywhere else prices have gone up. Great shop, the PPI was very thorough, but I stopped going there as prices weren't any lower than BMW Seattle, and they just aren't convenient for me.

But depending on where this car is that OP wants a PPI on, I'd recommend Strictly BMW in Bellevue.

It sounded like it would be a very thorough inspection so I will give them that.

Broadstroke in Snohomish is also at the $350 price point. Full day inspection is what they claim.

The car was recently serviced at Broadstroke. I may have it sent back there. Are they a strong choice for M car service/knowledge?

I have never taken my car there, I called them to see if they had done any Rod Bearing jobs and whomever I talked to didn't instill much faith in me that they were very familiar with our platform. But they seem to be a reputable shop for general BMW service.

I've recently started using Dmitry at https://www.dmiautocare.com/

He seems very knowledgeable and has fair pricing IMO, and is an enthusiast himself (with an M5 wagon conversion)
