Shop for Rod Bearing replacement in South Florida?

I'm on the Treasure-coast but could travel to West Palm Beach or Miami if needed ...

Auto Tuning House in Orlando quoted me $2200+tax. Includes VAC bearings and oem bolts, gasket, and liqui moly oil. I think that is the least expensive option I've found across all of Florida. Planning on having them do mine soon.

Great, thanks for the information. I was thinking of active autowerke but it's a bit of a drive. Do you know how much meister motoring charges?

Active is one of the most expensive shops in SFLA, I wouldn't do it there. Their service is top notch though.

Also, Euromotive can do it too, they are in Hallandale I believe.

Great information how long would you keep the car and could I supply the parts or you would get better pricing?

We work directly with VAC motorsports for the bearings, Bolts are your choice, and we only use BMW gaskets and hardware. Give us a call tomorrow, and mention you are an ///M Flight member and you know me (Jayson) and they will give you the best price available.

bumping this up because after replacing both my TAs I'm thinking of replacing my rod bearings preventatively to have peace of mind with my car especially since im planning on doing HPDE this year. Im in Miami FL, but can drive up as north as WPB for the right shop that I know will take car of me and my car right.

Supposedly a local member on here said Active quoted him $2k which i thought was unbelievable, they're usually the pricier shop for BMWs.

Also what bearings did you all go with? Ive been looking into BE bearings but dont see alot of reviews.

I haven't found Active to be "that" expensive or out of line with other shops. In fact, I found them cheaper on a couple items...

And as another person posted, they are one of the best - so don't they warrant being a little more expensive? They did my rod bearings and I recall it being about the same as anywhere else.

Are we talking about just labor or the full job with parts included from them?

I believe I paid in the $2k - $2.5k range which included parts and everything. They are the nicest guys, just call and talk to Andrew or Viral. Ask them how much they would charge. Then let us know for record.

But I can't recommend them enough. It's a shop that does R&D, makes their own parts, etc. They are extremely qualified and who I trust for most things on my car. I do like Foreign Affairs in Pompano as well, Jared is a good guy. We take our cars there for maintenance and I've had them do some performance stuff as well. Plus I do track days with the Foreign Affairs guys (and it's not unusual to see Active guys at the track, too).

Active does great work as well as psi, not sure how far they are from you guys but those would be the shops id go to in that area

hit up Viral from active and I'm sure he will take care of any board member

Yeah I actually know both Viral and Andrew from way back, before they even worked at AA lol

I've already ordered all the parts for the job. Im still deciding on DIYing it or taking it to them since im local.
