the Cost of BMW Repair

My son has a 1999 BMW which he loves. It is a beautiful car with plenty of power. Unfortunately it requires a lot of maintenance as well as repairs. He complained that his car was leaking oil. He also noticed a whining noise. We took the car to a local auto repair shop that we have used before. We found out that the radiator , radiator cap, coolant tank, 2 valve cover gasket, valve cover bushing, and axle bearing all needed to be replaced. The labor for replacing the radiator , radiator reserve tank, valve cover gaskets and axle bearing was $897 . The parts plus shipping them overnight equaled $743. Adding labor, parts, shop fees and tax totaled $1709. .

We were very pleased with the service we received. The price is comparable to other shops in the area. We expect service for a BMW to be more expensive than the average car. The mechanics are very knowledgeable and we know that the car will be repaired with no problems afterwards. Also, the repair shop always has the car ready very quickly.

If you buy a BMW, you will enjoy driving it. Just be prepared to pay more for service on it. My son changes his oil when it's time which saves a lot of money. Any maintenance you can perform on your car will obviously save you a substantial amount of money compared to an automotive shop.
