We received a call recently asking if we did emissions work on older cars, and, of course, we said yes because we do.
This new client brought in her car, an immaculate 160,000 mile e46 325iX five-speed that she had custom ordered from BMW in 2002, and told her story. She had had it serviced exclusively at BMW dealers until this visit when it remained unrepaired after multiple attempts.
After we fixed it, took it through our state’s emission test, and presented the certificate to her, the reason why we were successful with the repair here at Pacific Motorsports became clear.
At Pacific Motorsports our three factory-trained Master Technicians have been educated on models back to the late 1970s, and have worked on all of them since. This “seasoning” has given our staff the abilities to diagnose and repair a wide range of BMW and MINI vehicles, and, as this client’s experience has shown, more than other places may possess. 
Knowing the capabilities of the technical staff at the shop that services your car is important, and something that many people are unaware of and may not consider. This is a critical unspoken issue and one that bears serious consideration when selecting a service center. Just because someone says they do something does that mean they do it well? Or, can they do it successfully on your car? Don’t be shy about asking these questions about the vehicle you care about.
At Pacific Motorsports we employ the highest trained and most skilled technicians available, and why we are your Best Alternative to the Dealer. This element of our Best Practices approach to everything we do is yet another reason why we provide A Higher Standard of Service.
