    Any recent recommendations for a good BMW repair/service shop in the Oakland area? Reviews I found were several years old. Would like someplace that does good work, is honest and fairly reasonable (wouldn't we all?!). New to me BMW owner

    Retrofitting a 2002 BMW for safety

    Nov 2008

    My husband needs to retrofit his old 2002 BMW with rear safety belts/shoulder straps so that we can upgrade from the car seat to a booster seat for our son. He is a ''do-it-yourselfer'' but hasn't done it yet. Any advice on how/where to get this work done? Thank you. need a safety upgrade

    I would try M Service in Walnut Creek. They know EVERYTHING about BMWs!!! Fran
    First off, I don't understand how a 2002 vehicle does NOT have shoulder belts , is there some kind of crazy unsafe BMW on the road??.......Anyways,please don't let your husband do this himself. It involves the safety of passengers riding in your vehicle, namely your child. Is he a certified auto technician? If not I would leave it to the professionals. How will you know it was done correctly? Is he ready to handle the feelings of self blame if God forbid his seatbelt retrofit failed in an accident and your son was injured or worse?? -car safety enthusaist
    2002 BMW refers to the BMW 2002 model, not a BMW from the model year 2002. Since this vehicle was produced between 1968 and 1976, it's no surprise that it doesn't have modern rear seat belts. I take my '91 BMW (as in model year 1991) to Bavarian Professionals in Berkeley and recommend them. If they can't do it, they should be able to refer you to someone who can. prefer expertise to enthusiasm

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a good auto shop for standard BMW maintenance and/or repairs. The few postings I saw were quite old. Anywhere East Bay is fine but El Cerrito, Richmond, Albany, etc. would be fantastic! amy
