Best place to do Mainteinance?

I have an 06, 330i with 57,000 miles on it and I have to do maintenance soon. I heard the Herbchamber dealership is not a good place to do it. Where would you recommend me to get it done? I live in Boston

Are they really? I drive by them almost daily! I always assumed they weren't so great. The physical shop must be very misleading. I guess if you do good work you can do good work even out of a small little place. Fantastic to know!

NONE, thank God I didn't have to personally deal with them. I just got attitude on the phone from Service and Parts department. Very un-professional for a BMW dealership so I would never give them business.

I've never gotten anything done at Turner but they're good too. My buddy goes there and he recommends them....it's a bit pricey for me though.

I've been to Turner and their service is excellent. They are pricey but I found their labor costs to be cheaper than BPG. The guys at Turner definitely know and love what they do though. Their race-built cars are pretty impressive too.

I've been to Auto Engineering in Lexington for a warranty inspection, and thought they were very knowledgeable.

Anyone have any more extensive experience with them and how they compare with Bavarian Performance Group?
