New E30 Owner - Mechanic in N. NJ?

[Isostar13]

Hi All,

Just joined the forum today. Purchased my first E30 yesterday (1988 325ix - I'll post pics soon). I live in N. NJ and am looking for recs. on a reliable independent mechanic. Anyone have experience with someone they trust and care to share?

Areas in and around Livingston would be most helpful.

Thanks.

PM, ZM Blue Devil, that is all you will ever need to keep your car in good shape. Maybe you can google Guten Parts Service in Jersey, should not be hard to find.

Yup, as said Levent at guten is a very reputable shop. Vlad does good work also, but I've never been there myself. I work around Livingston, and live in caldwell so maybe I'll see you around. I'm in a diamond black 318is :up:

Oh yeah, post pics!

Thanks for the replies and recs, sending a PM to ZM Blue Devil now. Sounds like he's the best guy in this area. I'll definitely go to him for any future service needs. Pics coming up soon. I'm a 325ix diamond black. Just went for a short cruise in the Caldwell area. I'll look for your is.

Haha it's always "pics or gtfo." A forum phrase that seems to transcend industries. As said, I haven't yet had a chance to take good shots, but here are a few from my phone. More to come later.

WOW, another local E30. I recognize Essex Green anywhere. Grew up in the Oranges.
That looks like a clean IX!

Haha yeah, took it over to Panera this morning. They have really good pastries, what can I say.

That is beautiful! so clean.
Panera has some damn good pastries. The broccoli cheddar soup is the best.
