    Good Shop in Annapolis, MD

    Hello i'm new to r3v and new to the e30 world as well. Purchased an '89 325i a few weeks ago and am loving it. I've ran a few searches and have found some results for good shops around Maryland but nothing particularly in the Annapolis area. My brake lines have some bad corrosion and am looking to replace them. I was wondering if anyone in the Annapolis area could refer me to a good local shop. Thanks.

    have you considered doing it yourself?? which lines are you referring to? the rubber lines off of the caliper or the lines from the master cylinder to each caliper (i.e. hardlines)
    10 minutes... then we invade China.
    We'll begin with the small town of General Tso's,
    And move to the Orange chicken province.

      The lines from the master cylinder. From what I've inquired they're a pain in the ass to change due to location and that either the subframe or gas tank need to be dropped to access them. I think the job exceeds my mechanical capabilities but I have found a good shop.

        well its always good to know your limits... but its also fun to learn how to do all this crap on your own anyway... saves a bit of money and increases your technical knowledge base and experience. let me know the name of the shop as well. happy wrenching!!

          I completely agree with you. I'm 19 and this is the first car I've ever bought so I definitely want to learn how to start doing some work on my own. The shop is called admiral tire in Bowie, MD. The owner is an e30 enthusiast he has 3 of them and seems like a really nice guy. Very knowledgable and helpful.

            Behren's Automotive. But it's over the bridge, on the Eastern Shore, just before Easton on Rt. 50.
            Used to live down that way...
