Seeking shop recs: Bay Area N26 timing chain

poomunj · 08-31-2021, 01:26 PM

Hi all,

Looking to find a reputable shop willing to do timing chain guides on N26's. I called around San Mateo and most of the guys around here are unwilling and forwarded me to the dealer. Im out of warranty since I have a 2013. Would like to find a shop with a good rep within the surrounding area.

You can try Silicon Valley Bimmer out in SJ. Run by 2 former BMW techs.

Isn’t it covered under SULEV warranty 15yrs 150k miles in California?

It should be covered under the SULEV warranty. I also have a 2013 and had the same issue occur after my warranty coverage expired. When I took my car into BMW for a diagnosis they ended up fixing everything free of charge. I would recommend taking the car into the dealership and talking to a service rep
