Shop in Portland/Vancouver area?

awd · 09-13-2019, 09:58 AM

Can anyone recommend a shop in the Portland/Vancouver area for down pipe install and a hub crank fix?

Thank you

So no one has had this done in the Portland area?

How about Tacoma/Seattle or Salem?

Down pipe install very very basic, any muffler shop can do in probably an hour.
I wouldn't let anyone work on my motor except Bmw, but if you're not worried about that, I hear good things about Matrix downtown. They specialize in Euros.

So far I have two quotes from Portland shops for 8.5 hours for down pipe install. I will check matrix. Will BMW install the crank fix?

Thank you

Matrix quoted 8.5 hours also. I guess I will start looking at muffler shops.

there's a shop in Tigard you can rent a lift and air tools by the hour, pretty cheap too. if I rem its like 20 an hour

My buddy's dad has a lift in his shop. Just figured I would save myself the headache if I could get them installed for less than 500.

Thank you for the info.
