Tri-State area trusted non-BMW mechanic?
Hello,
I'm looking for a place to get my brakes done. I do not have a G80/82 but instead a G07 (x7). However, I found this forum thread as being a source locally (I live in Manhattan) and thought I would ask. I know, from talking to wholesalers and parts companies that the parts for the brakes for my vehicle is $650 for the front and $550 for the back brakes. Yet, BMW is charging me $1700 for the front and $1400 for the rear to replace / install new brakes. Are there any trusteed Tri-State area mechanics that do great work and are trustworthy that you all recommend that won't price gouge me? Thank you so much for helping. |

Check out Bimmer Hub in NJ
Their website states 225 per axle for labor, and can probably order parts at wholesale price for you as well. I’m sure there are ones closer to you as well, but I remember seeing their brake special |

Higly reccommend Edge Motors in Haverstraw or Sloatsburg.
Great labor rates, even better than my mechanic cousin

It would even suggest doing it yourself. It’s stupid easy and you get to ticker alone in peace. I’ll be happy to give you the run down on how to do it

Lux Restyling in South Amboy. They work on high end cars. Only people I let touch my car. Check their Instagram. Message them and ask for Steve. He’s the owner. You won’t be disappointed

Tristate area is loaded with shops that can do a simple brake job. Consider the following based on your location and your/their availability.
AutoCouture in FairLawn, N.J. Precision Motor Works in Mamaroneck, N.Y. BimmerClinic/Maximum PSI in South Amboy, N.J. Autocraft in Uniondale, N.Y. (Long Island) MLife AutoCare in Valley Stream, N.Y. (also Long Island) M PowerHouse in Mt. Vernon, N.Y. I have personal experience with every single one of these shops within the last decade (except for MLife, but Rick is well known and can do anything) and any of them will be able to do virtually anything you throw at them with regards to maintenance and oddjobs/mods.
