Atlanta Repair Shop Recommendation?
My 2013 M3 has recently gone out of its BMW covered maintenance. Can anyone recommend a reputable Indy shop in the Atlanta, Georgia area for regular maintenance and service?
It's nerve racking and kind of scary trying to find a reputable shop that knows M cars and is honest. I have read older posts from several years ago on this forum recommending Solo Motorsports and Technica. Can anyone vouch for these? Thank you |

I spoke with Rob, very knowledgeable about M cars. I did have them price some basic services like oil change, filter replacements, brake fluid flush and they were at least $30-50 higher than Solo motor or Technicka on each service. On a battery replacement they were $100 more than both. Do you think their pricing is fair? |

Markert has been recommended to me by a lot of people, is very convenient for me with my girl working in Lawrenceville and me in Suwanee (we can just drop the car and go), and I've had no complaints with anything that they have done for me. Rob and the guys have their fun with the Spec E30 crowd which I have been involved with and developed friendships with. I'm sure I don't even know of half of the shops in the Atlanta area, but Technica for example is essentially Atlantic Station. That is a hell of a drive for me to consider changing up on a shop that has been doing me right for maybe $50 more on a job. So the short answer? Maybe it's convenience. I'll probably chew up the small savings I will find somewhere else in just gas for two cars to drop it off. Not to mention time spent. If I lived in Midtown or something, then I'd probably be going there. They turn me around quick and do a quality job with a 60k mile warranty on everything they do. Hell as I type this, Jordon just sent me a text updating me on how things are going. |

But yes! BE bearings. Excited to have the lump in the back of my mind removed and to see what condition the stockers will be when they get yanked. Part of me wants to see them trashed so I can justify the cost. The other part wants them to be in great shape to counter the M3Post "standard". |

Thank you everyone who has shared their experiences. After speaking with all these shops they all seem very good and reasonable.
Bimmers was reasonably priced and only uses OEM parts. The only one of the bunch. Bonus they are open on Saturdays. For general maintenance items they seem more than adequate to tackle the job. Technica seemed the most knowledgeable from any shop I spoke with and also had the best prices. If I had to choose a place for a major job this place seems hard to beat. Market motors was fantastic. However I kind of felt like they were trying to up-sell several unnecessary items and mods which I was not interested in and were the most pricy of the bunch. Solo motors was also very helpful and straight shooters. Thanks everyone for their recommendations |

Let me know if you want me to set up an appointment with Bimmers Service. We have two locations, one in Roswell and one in Kennesaw. All of the employees and especially the owner were Master Techs from United BMW of Roswell. If you want somebody that knows the BMW, use Bimmers. Let me know.
