Which shop would you pick for the shock/strut job?

My 528 front shock is leaking, and need to be replaced. I am wondering if I should go to dealer for the work, or if it's safe to use some independent shop to do the work.
Can someone please provide some advice? Thanks a lot!

Depending how far you want to drive, if you go 30 minutes south you could give Bill at Bimmerclinic a call:

Bimmer Clinic LLC
704 Trumbull Street
Elizabeth, NJ 07202
732-218-7632

Bill has replaced my suspension a couple times along with numerous other issues that have popped up with my car.

Give a call to Haven Motors in Ridgewood.(201) 444-9816 Joe is great to work with and Craig is an ex-BMW tech. I've never had a problem with them.
