I brought my new to me BMW Xin to help diagnose a transmission leak and shifting issue after the dealership had a look at it and "found nothing wrong other than low fluid level" Issues remained so, at the recommendation of my independent repair shop, went to Car-Life
I was created warmly by Fred and we discussed the issues
They were able to find the leak, found the shifting issue cause and with discussions with me corrected what I have found are systematic issues with this transmission in BMWs and other makes Based on my investigation and their recommendations, I had them do a valve body and control solenoid service While they had the car up on the lift, I had the fluids in the transfer case and differentials changed
The car ran like it should have, great
A little while after the service the car developed a vibration that became worse as time went on
Due to many other obligations, I was finally able to get to Car-Life about a month later They enthusiastically went on a test drive, put the car on the rack and found the cause of the vibrations, it was something that they had not touched during earlier service They cleared the problem and sent me on my way, happy, with a quiet car again
I consider this to be much better than the expected service
Thank You Fred and company
