    Question Good BMW mechanic in Calgary?

    Anybody knows a good BMW mechanic in Calgary? I mean a guy who loves the car and is not confusing you with a walking wallet?

    Just had my car looked at by Auto Align. Decently new fella down in Midnapore that even lets you watch what he's doing and ask questions...good guy.

    Tried searching him on Google and couldn't find him but he's off of Banister Rd., just north of 151 Ave. SE.

    Thanks a lot. Midnapore is not too far away from me. Where is Shenis Auto trend? What are they specialized in?

    Thanks

    No worries. He's not a BMW specific mechanic persay, so it all depends on how specialized you want your mechanic to be. Fundamentally, mechanically speaking, he knows what he's doing...specifically with alignments.

    If you took a new BMW to Sheni's for service, would it invalidate the warranty?

    Great people, I've been there a couple times and I have buddies that go to him as well.

    Steve Nunn at Zoom Zoom Motors. He is in southeast past Race City. My brother and I import BMWs and Mercedes from Japan and he does all our work. Low shop rate, good parts prices. Used to be a tech at Lone Star Mercedes.

    What about Nurburgring? Seems to be a pretty good guy in there...

    Got quotes from both Sheni and Nurburgring......Sheni was 20% more expensive.

    I chose Nurburgring

    I'm pretty new to old BMW's as well and so far I have heard of Motorwerkes and Sheni's are the place to go, maybe I just haven't found it yet but Calgary doesn't seem to have a lot of people that are into old beemers, so I just hang around on the boards and learn to DIY, save on repairs and get to know the cars real well.

    Can anyone advise what Sheni's shop rate is (or approximately)? I'm in Edmonton now, but may be moving back to Calgary this year, and wasn't entirely satisfied with the shop I was using there before.

    I know in Edmonton it seems like most independents charge $100 per hour (or more) so am guessing it's about the same.

    Thanks!
