    Repair Shop in Seattle area

    Relatively new to the area and needing an independent shop that can replace the clutch and associated parts and an oil pan gasket on my '95 M3. I was prepared to the work myself so I purchased all of the parts. I subsequently injured my neck and am unable to do the job. Trouble is, I haven't found a shop that will accept owner supplied parts. Frustrating to say the least. Anyone have a shop they would recommend that will accept my parts?

    Mark’s rate is (or perhaps was) really competitive.
    Tell him Kim sent you.
    My experience is that he installs (quality) customer supplied parts.

    Most shops don’t want customer purchased parts:/ welcome to the area! There’s quite a few decent BMW shops that I’ve used in the past...

    Eastside Bavarian and 22RPD are my favorites for jobs I don’t wanna do

    If you are near Monroe then Mark Lovitt is a good choice. Small one person shop. Does great work. Mark has used parts supplied by me in the past so it likely is not an issue, but ask him.
