$55/hr
Independant mechanic with his own shop in med/small community. He services my older BMW"s no problem (says he'll even do my Mini once out of warranty as well). He's Lamborgini/Ferarri trained but doesn't mind working on everything from a MG, Healey, BMW to a Ferrari. Does decent work for a fair price. Much cheaper than the BMW/Mini dealership @ $95/hr.

Re: How much does your mechanic charge per hour?
I think I remember you saying that you're in the Boston area. If so, that's probably a pretty good rate. I have two mechanics I use, when needed. One charges $55, and I only use him for general things I can't do, due to limited facilities. The other knows BMW's, and like a good BMW tech wants to make everything perfect. I use him when it's something BMW-specific, and perfection is needed (like engine work). He charges $75/hr, and this is not a metropolitan area. And when I can, I take it up to Haygood and pay him whatever he asks... ;-)

Sarasota, Florida It's like a BMW school....
we don't get to work at the shop, but at his house. He's been a Bimmer wrench for years and is a race mechanic for a couple of porsches.
I was just telling him I needed a new center link and tie rod ends for my 528e. He went to his work bench and pulled out the whole assembly, handed it to me and said "Here, take this one", then loaned me the his special tool to seperate the tie rod end from the car.
Slak54 and I are VERY fortunate to have a resource like him.<br>
