Maintenance Service in Chicago
Hi my fellow bimmers in Chicago,
I'm fairly new to the area and I'm looking for a good place for regular maintenance services. Please give me some good recommendations! J |

Not in the are, but have a brother who is.
This thread has a pretty good list. Chicago is a big city, likely depends on who is close to where you live. Who does Rod Bearings in the Milwaukee/Chicago Area? https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1423388 |

I reached out to them when selecting a shop to do my rod bearings. I agree that they seem really good, but they quoted me a much higher price for the job than e-Fab. After meeting Eric and seeing some of the things he has built, it was a no brainer for me. He's 100 miles away from me and I'd never take my BMW anywhere else despite having a couple more local options.

Right, I just meant the rod bearing quote I got was indicative of a higher labor rate. Which makes sense as they are a bigger shop with more overhead than e-Fab.

Is rod bearing a must change item? Mine is only 33k miles and all seem regular. I ask that because I'm thinking about some projects but if the costs for all of these are too higher, might as well just trade in for a new X5 or 340 |

If you would consider trading an M3 for an X5 or 340, perhaps the M3 is not the right car for you in the first place? Not trying to be rude, those are just very different cars.

No it's mainly because they are more practical for family uses since I don't have a second car yet. I got my M3 almost 6 years ago and I didn't have to think about these things |
