Mechanic/Garage recommendation Fairfield or South Ct


EINST

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I am wondering if anyone can recommend a mechanic/garage in the Fairfield or South Ct area. I have a '73 tii in need of general maintenance and tuneup at the moment and other projects, ie: suspension and other things down the road.

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks for the reply c.d.,

Actually Nate, i believe, at SCR was recommended by some friends who had a M-Benz done there, but that was a restore, I gathered that they it might be good for the more intensive projects i need, but not for tuneups etc. I would like to have someone go over the whole car with me, so i can get an idea of the future work i've been mulling over. When i bought the car, two years ago now, it was ready to be just driven, had been cared for by a meticulous and knowledgeable previous owner, but i haven't been able to get it on the road so much until recently and now just want to have a mechanic i can rely on who knows the tii's.

Interesting site, but the closest garage it lists is 30 miles away, ugh.

I am near a lot of BMw dealerships, the car used to be cared for at those by P.O but i was interested in options. Perhaps the dealer is the way to go.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll second or third SCR. They do not just do restorations. They do pretty much everything from full on restorations to just basic maintenance type stuff and not just on 2002s.

They will do exactly as you ask and go over the car and discuss whatever your needs are with the car with absolutely zero bull.

When it comes to 2002s and you are in CT, SCR is a no brainer. And yes Nate, Matt, and the rest of the guys super nice, super knowledgeable and easy to work with.

Personally, I would not take my 2002 anywhere else.

My 2002 was manufactured on September 15th, 1971 and delivered on October 22nd, 1971 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City. The original colour was Granada, paint code 023. It was sold on New Years Eve December 31st 1971.
