NY/NJ/CT Indy Shop Thread

I notice that "Briarcliff Classic & Imported", just off 9A in Briarcliff Manor, NY isn't noted here. This is a great shop with a niche practice...he fixes all sorts of unusual cars, the sort of odd toys that would be in the garages of a nice suburb. Need a fix to your TR6 ? A rebuilt to your 190SL ? Even a check engine light on your senior citizen 330i ?

I've had them work on my 330i since the warranty went away in 2005. I've found them to be honest and straightforward. I've been told more than once that what the internet said is wrong with the car, isn't. Let us just say it's the polar opposite of a stealership-I paid for an hour labor when the studs died on my cat converters to have the studs replaced, not the Converters.....

I've not done any mods, stayed mostly OE or OE supplier. They will do anything you want, mod wise, though...I've seen enough examples. They are craftsmen, in every sense of the word.

The only problem is that your e46 will be the dullest car in the parking lot.

Ask for Bob, 914 762 1200

I tried to edit my post but cannot. Why?!?!
I would no longer recommend anyone here to go to Southampton Imported Cars. After my experience with my car there last year...never again. I only go to Motorcepts now.

Care to elaborate?

I do not wish to slander. I just wish to revoke my recommendation.

Can we get added to this list? We have done 100+ subframe repairs, and we are about to release the only production turbo kit for E46 M3's using the factory ecu. We have also done work for many of the shops on this list, I'm sure they can back us up! We are also a forum sponsor.

Thanks,
Mike

ASC Automotive in Atlantic Highlands, NJ.

Great guys over there that know their stuff, plus prices are AWESOME. They have all of the BMW equipment too.

Takes them a while to do things (had my car 2 days to check for AC leaks and do a DME update) but they did a great job. Didn't even charge me for checking to AC and refilling the freon!

Yea theyre legit. I recently went there and Dave is a good guy and theyre a dinan dealer. If i go to an indy shop its not some "Import Auto" or motorcepts that works on all types of german cars...i go to bmw specific shops. I've been to turner motorsports and recently Motorworks West. They are bmw specific and seem very legit. IMO i suggest never going to these sleeze ball german auto repair places and just go to BMW specific shops. Motorworks West is that. I think Redline speed in washingon nj is also similar.

Hahah i just relized i posted that before i went there

As a follow-up to my other thread...

I took my car to Bimmers Only in Bedford Hills. Graham is the owner there, very easy to work with. Did what I needed to get done, as well as found some other issues that have been plauging the car for quite some time that the dealer did not point out. Also did a once-over of the car and noticed the RTABs in the rear need to be replaced soon, but didn't get that done yet. Hourly rate is higher then dealer, but th end result was extremely reasonable for what was done to the car. I will definitely be going back here from now on, and it's a bit of a trek from Yonkers, but well worth it.

+1 on ACS Automotive... thanks for the recommendation, I had a great experience!

Semaca! In Port Chester, NY is really good, they offer very competitive pricing. Off of exit 11!

Any recommendations in the Astoria / LIC area? I know there's tons of black car / taxi places (which are 24 hour) but I feel the need for a specialist.

I "think" my clutch is out and need to do some other preventive/maintenance (seals etc).

There's a place on 31st between Newtown and Astoria Blvd, that "specializes" in MBs and BMWs but I have no experience with them.

This is my first E46, and the to-do list is growing.

Never used them, personally.

Hey guys/gals I know im new here. but just for the hell of it i can recomend Edge Motors in West Haverstraw NY. I used to get my vw's and audi's fixed there, and I just had them do a bunch of work on my newly aquired 01 m3. They are a rgeat shop good pricing and good work. their address is 107 E Railroad ave , West Haverstraw, NY, 10993
845-269-3846. Just ask for Serge when you call he is the owner.

Would anyone have any experience/preferences/opinions about shops that can service E46 convertible tops? I’ve had a mostly bad experience with one of the last dealer-owned shops in northwest NJ that I can use for routine maintenance and don’t want to repeat it. I’m also trying to find an independent shop within reasonable distance and would be great if they handle both both routine and convertible top work. Thanks in advance.

Anyone have any experience with George and Jack in Clifton, NJ?

Yeah, How does $180 for an alignment sound? $90 for the front and $90 for the rear on a friend's jetta
