How much did it run you?

I've always gone to Tedesco Autobody in New Rochelle, but its a bit of a haul from Brooklyn for a few bumper scratches.

Martino Auto Concepts is closer and has a fantastic reputation. I want them to paint my calipers for me come spring.

That is literally 1/3 of the cost at the dealer.

If youre willing to travel to long island, James Auto Works in Glen Head is the best place around. Hope insurance will pick up the tab though.....hes not cheap.

Oh I'm not saying that the work is subpar because its so cheap, its more of a reflection on how much price gouging occurs at the dealership. They charged me 70 dollars to install a screw on one of my exhaust hangers. I had to bitch and moan about not approving that repair because when I agreed, I was told it would be under warranty. (apparently no 135i had ever had a bolt come loose from the exhaust hanger, therefore it was user error and not covered. PS, I've always had the stock exhaust on and unmodified.)

OP- let me know if I can assist you, we've been BMW factory trained and authorized since 1994. This is extremely rare for an independent shop such as ourselves.
Please feel free to stop by, I'd be happy to give you an estimate and a shop tour.
