Brake Job and maintenance repairs

First BMW here. Where do you guys bring your rides for maintenance like brakes and basic service. Dealer or local repair?

For cost savings, your best shot is independent mechanic + OEM parts bought from dealer. This formula has worked for me. One important detail though, independent mechanics can be more expensive when it comes to a specific job needed Soni would go to independent only if I m sure they can do the job and for less than dealer....

if it not covered under warranty/free, i buy parts online and then do it myself at home. if you cant work on your own car, not all indy mechanics allow you to bring your own parts because they want to make money off you on them. the cool ones will let you.
