DC area mechanic
My friends have an e46 330i in DC that's in need of some good care.
Taillight circuitry burned out and they're getting that done at a dealer. The rest are things like a couple of belts seem to be cracking, the power steering is too heavy and needs a new something (pump?) and spark plugs. They have another car and can leave this for a week. Any recommendations for a good indie in the area? |

Perhaps the steering just needs a flush.

The steering needs a flush. I've found that Redline Power Steering fluid is very effective for cutting through accumulated shit.

Does anyone know a good mechanic to flush steering, do plugs & belts? (He lives in NY, she in DC, it's her car and I can tell you, she's not going to do it).
