Well if your buying a car especially an older car you want to make sure you get those technical check ups done.

I've had each of my bmws serviced there. e30, e36, e39 and 2002 - they definitely know what they're doing at Gary's shop.

Thats a really tough question to answer without seeing pictures or knowing any background info about the car.. it all really depends on condition and the cars history.
