I just found two ex-VOB Service Techs that are running an auto-service in Damascus, MD. They are Pete Papoulias and Tom Parks and the service center is called Damascus Auto Service. I only have had experience with them once, which was to flush my brakes in preparation for the October Driver School, but Pete seemed to be very competent, friendly and charged a reasonable $85.00 for the flush (I supplied BMW OEM Fluid).

Since the only other BMW specialists I have found are in Rockville or even further south, I thought that others may want to give them a try. Since I have factory service for the next three years I probably won't be using them for much but it is nice to know they are there. Here is the information from their Website.




Damascus Auto Service is a family owned and operated full service auto repair facility for all domestic and imported cars and light trucks. Owners Pete Papoulias and Thomas Parks bring to you over 40 years experience, professionally trained ASE Certified technicians, and unparalleled customer service. Even after many years of service, Damascus Auto Service is looking to expand into servicing all types and models of cars but speciallizing in BMW and Mini cars.
