List of BMW focused shops in DFW and/or Texas?

waijai · 05-11-2010, 01:17 PM

Wondering what aftermarket shops are out there that cater to BMW/Euro cars in the DFW and/or Texas area.

I only know of Stett and Autoscope?

I do installs. Cheap!

yea i wouldn't trust stett to do anything short of an oil change. i've heard good things about bigslick's installs. if you're looking for major mechanical, i would use autoscope or eurosport and steer clear of stett performance.

Send Jerry (Bigslick2332) a PM! He is the real deal!

Can't beat a certified BMW tech working on your car.

Jerry did my Downpipes ...JB3 upgrade...and a few other things last weekend. Top quality work...service...and you can't beat the price!

I think it would be a great idea to put together a list of shops in the 4 major cities.

I agree with Blake, I would stay away from Stett. I had everything else done by autoscope (love field) location. They have been really good and great customer service.

Might want to read on on these forums...

Any recommendations for listing a shop with an Autologic handheld that offers coding service on the cheap?

You didn't mention if performance or aesthetics? JRs Custom Auto in Irving can do anything when it comes to aftermarket add-ons. They have the most extensive selection of wheels in stock and if not they can order it too.
Excellent for custom work on car interiors and audio equipment. Not sure they can handle the performance aspect of euros though. Anyways google them if interested and ask for Brian he's cool and knows his stuff from years in the business.

Check with autoscope to see if they have anything like that. I have a BT tool so I have not really searched to much.

Imperator · 07-13-2010, 04:26 PM

Woah, thanks for that link! I think I'll use him instead... I just spent $150 on an EAS RemoteKey that does everything this guy offers, plus I can get him to recode for the LCI LED taillights and set the iDrive output to HiFi when I do my stereo upgrades.
