I use Casey\'s Automotive in Chantilly (right off

Rt 28 adjacent to Gold's Gym) for my e39 540, my son's e30 325is and my other son's e36 M3 coupe; very competent and professional . . . $69 per hr labor rate compares favorably w/ local dealers and independents (e.g., Fairfax BMW is $115 per hr).

Re: ps: I live in Reston, also.

I use McLean Auto Imports next to eCities in Tysons. The have a russian dude there Yakum who is excellent and they are very honest and reasonable. For 2 separate repairs. Power Steering Pump replacement half of what Curry's quoted. Intake Manifold Gasket replacement half of what Curry's wanted again. The Problem with Curry's is that they located out there next to all the AOL millionaires and they can get what they ask out there. Me - I drive a 1994 540i with 160k and still love it. McLean Auto Imports is very fair and honest. - JT
