Earl Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 ^Does it matter if he has no background? Not at all. I have none and I seem to be doing a decent job so far B C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 So no background in automotive repair? Sounds like the beginning of an angry union worker rant with the focal point being that unless you are ASE certified and have made a living at one time as a mechanic you are not allowed to touch anything mechanical on the car. People pay me to do side jobs all the time. One guy I did a valve adjustment for got scoliosis 3 weeks later and someone I did brakes for turned gay but otherwise my lack of professional experience hasnt mattered.

suspenceful Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Yup, Bob is awesome. I've gone to this guy for my E85 fuel pump install, backend flash, and other miscellaneous crap. Would've had him walnut blast my valves, but I already had it done before meeting him. Cheap prices and knowledgeable, would recommend.

Bobdudeman1988 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 just added that if you bring the gasket(s) for your oil filer housing i can swap them out for 30 bucks while where in there!pm me for parts needed if you dont know. but oil cooler modles have an extra gasket for the t stat housing for the cooler. and you need the little oring for the water pipe as well. then the base gasket. i dont keep the parts here but if you need . i can order them for you and you can pay for them with the job gasket for housing pn below(same gasket for non oil cooled and oil cooled models). number 4 on diagram11427537293 gasket for oil t-stat housing(oil cooled models only). number 5 on diagram11427525335 oring for water pipe. number 8 on diagram11537545278 GB-335xiCoupe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 So I went and saw Bob today and all I have to say is... AWESOME! Bob is a genuinely nice guy who just happens to know his shit about the n54/n55. His garage was clean and organized and from the minute you step in there he makes you feel right at home. The set up for the walnut blasting never made me question the authenticity of the service. He was meticulous about perfecting the repair and almost obsessive about maintaining cleanliness while working. I am thoroughly pleased with the finished product! There is a noticeable difference in gears 2-3-4 and the power delivery is much smoother through the power band.I was in the garage during the entire service and I will that as an ASE certified technician... I APPROVE! Now for the pics: Before After B C and GB-335xiCoupe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
