Beginning April 1st, and running through April 30th, there is a new 2024 BMW MOA Election discussion area within The Club section of the forum. Within this forum area is also a sticky post that provides the ground rules for participating in the Election forum area. Also, the candidates statements are provided. Please read before joining the conversation, because the rules are very specific to maintain civility.
Welcome to the forum! What sort of service are you looking for? I don't know those areas very well, maybe some other members will see this and provide their input.
Here's a couple of things you could try. In link in my signature line is a section on Dealers and Independent Mechanics. It's stuff I've collected from web traffic and it's as good as the price of it...I found it for free! So, check that and see if anything helps there.
The second thing is to look in your Anonymous Book at dealers in the two states. If you don't have the physical book and want to try the electronic version of the book, it's access through the forum here:
It probably works best on your smartphone. You should then be able to search for dealers. Or you could search the member listings in your immediate area and contact them for help on this. They'd probably have a better idea of who does good work in your area.
As a new owner I am not certain as to the last time services were performed. Probably needs oil change, brake fluid, etc. It only has 14K miles but I want to make sure everything is in good working order before I embark on any lengthy rides. Closest dealers are in Raleigh. NC and Charleston, SC - both about 140 miles from my home in Southport.
