Jason,

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

best of luck. Always sorry to hear about a closing.

seems to be more than normal this year....christmas season didnt allow many to make it thru til sping. best of luck.....a master tech is always valuable to someone. unfortunately, not always paid commensurate with value, but that is another story.

Bummer. Sorry Jason1970... Did they give any specific reason?

[jason1970]

Well sales has been down and service went slow but the say they have a better deal in the works with honda and need the space.All I know is what they told me 10 min to 3 on sat before they shut the doors.

If the shop thing doesn't work out - any interest in moving to central Ohio? Any Harley experience?

PM me if you want to talk.

That sucks. And unfortunately it is the norm for more than a couple dealerships this past year.

May be a good time to fire up the network of satisfied customers and do some work on your own? A good BMW mechanic can be hard to find.
