Best South Florida dealer(s) for service?

IlChengis · 01-05-2012, 10:19 AM

Guys,
My old man just picked up his E92 M3 and the first service is coming up.

What are you recommendations regarding dealerships in South Florida?

He's in Miami. He doesn't mind driving a few hundreds miles (even Orlando/Tampa/Naples), we just want the car to be well taken care of. This is the main reason we aren't taking her to South Motors BMW.
EDIT: misunderstanding, no prior experience with South Motors' service department.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but this thread might interest you. How much better care can you get than from a "Forum Brother" that is a BMW Master Tech? I only wish that he were near me!

I like Braman. Ryan over there is a former M3 owner and current 335is owner.

Note: Ryan is a MINI Tech adviser, but will take care of anyone that asks for him.

When you say first service what are you referring about? Oil change, fluid check, brakes, safety inspection?...anything else?...and my dad has a shop towards downtown FT. Lauderdale. We specialize in all european vehicles. still looking for a good and trust worthy shop the info is as follows:

Mr. D's Auto Sales & Repair inc.
20 NW 9th ave.
Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33311.
954-767-9073.
Ask to speak with D. (Dilip)

Turns out I misunderstood my Dad.
He isn't particularly fond of their sales department (they tried lowballing him big time - it was truly an insult - when he got his trade-in quoted), but he didn't have any experience with their service department.

Thanks for sharing. I contacted Jack and we'll be servicing the car with him.

Thanks for sharing man, but we were looking for the 1st scheduled dealer service. Best of luck with business, it's good to know about a good indy shop in the area!

Thanks again for the input guys.
