Last time I went, they told me nothing was wrong. Then my uncle took it back two days later and they fixed the problem for him. Today, they tried to tell me again that there wasn't anything wrong with the rear passenger but the drivers side needed a new valve stem, and walked away without telling me if they'd fix any of it. The owner came out and I asked what they were doing and he told me that his brother had already talked to me. I explained the situation with my previous visit and told them that if they weren't going to fix both, that I'd just like my car back and that I didn't want to spend any money there. He told me (and my 1 year old daughter) " I never want to see you again. Get the fuck out" So, I go to leave and see him in the parking lot, and confirm that he is the owner and I said "well that's a real shame" so he called me a bitch and told me to "go wreck" I never raised my voice, or lost my temper and this is how I was treated with my baby in my arms! When my dad called back to tell him he didn't appreciate how I was treated, he informed us that none of our family would ever be allowed there again.

That turned out to also include replacing the spark plugs and also flushing the power steering fluid, all items that used to be simple but now add up to $700 on my little 335xi. Oh well, with a long inline 6 hiding the two rear cylinders changing the plugs (necessary every 45k miles) is no picnic I'm sure. It's the price of admission for driving these things. I must add though that keeping up with this stuff is absolutely necessary to keep a Bimmer running like, well, a Bimmer. I swear the car feels like it has 50 more HP; it zings up the tach with what is clearly less effort than before and climbs hills with less pedal position, all because of new plugs and an oil change! Or perhaps it's because Steve Snow sprinkles some of that Bimmerworks magic on the car just for taking it there. Whatever, the car runs great and I know I'm taking it to BMW experts without financing some fancy dealership's latest addition. If you drive a Bimmer, and live within 35 miles of this place, you should seriously consider taking it here for service. -Len Dube

Shamrock has worked on 3 different vehicles for me. most recently repalced wheel bearings on my explorer. rapid service, reasonable price, actually was about $75.00 LESS than i was quoted and expected. the difference in the handling of my vehicle was amazing and noticed within seconds of pulling. the owner (?) is knowledgable and willing to explain what is going on with your vehicle. He has my business and I'd suggest him to anyone I know
