Shop for BMW maintenance near Vienna?
A friend I grew up with recently gave his mother his 2000 Z3 as a Christmas gift. The car was his since new, has relatively low mileage, and spent most of its life in California before being shipped back here to Vienna to serve as his mother's weekend/nice weather car.
She's now looking for a shop to maintain it, and asked me for my opinion. I've only owned one BMW, and I had all of the work done at BMW of Fairfax when it was under warranty, and Convenience Car Care when it wasn't. She had a bad experience with BMW of Fairfax, and Convenience isn't very... well... convenient for her. I'm inclined to steer her away from a dealer to maintain such an "old" car anyway. As I said, she lives in Vienna. My thought is to tell her to take it to Intersport and leave it at that. I know many here have had excellent experiences with their race/track cars at Intersport, but does anyone use them for regular street car maintenance? Any reason why I shouldn't tell her to use them? Any other shops around Vienna that anyone would recommend for BMW maintenance?
