Reputable BMW repair in the SF Bay area?

[exwingnut]

Does anyone have a BMW repair shop they would recommend in the San Francisco bay area? My GS is incontinent and I am tired of smelling burning trans oil when I ride.

I know one I would recommend that you NOT go to, but that is a different story altogether.

Thanks!

The only one I'd go to in NORCAL is Ozzie's in Chico.

I have heard good things about:

Also check the Bay Area riders forum (barf) for more opinions.

I brought my bike to San Jose BMW twice now for regular services and can't complain.

thanks

The only guy that has worked on my bikes besides me in the last decade or more is Billy- Supershaft here on ADV. He's in South SF.

Me too, give them a call...they might even come get it for much less than you'd imagine and bring it back when it's done.

Billy is more an airhead dude is he not? I am sure he would be great of course but he may not want to work on that
The beemershop while good, changed the last time I was there and I have no recent info on them, but they were growing and having some of the pains that go along with that. reduced customer service and somewhat rushed job etc. Could all have changed though.
I would ride there rather than any stealership for working on my gs.
Let us know how it all works out

Bavarian Cycle Works in SF has been good to my R1200R. Good folks, seem to know their stuff.

I was a customer too as I followed my favorite service adviser, they did an ok job, but didn't treat him well and that turned it sour for me. I am uber picky it seems

Been going to most the places since 2004 (the year I bought the bike), and I REALLY think BCW is the ones to go to. Honest, straight forward, and can do what they say, when they say it.
