Virginia Motorrad provides BMW motorcycle repair and service in the Charlottesville area for '70 through present BMWs, including routine service, clutch/engine/transmission repair, tires, accessory installation and general mechanical restoration. A large part of the workload is mail-order component repair work for transmissions, final drives, and engine components.
We stock parts for routine service for most models, as well as cables, brake pads, and other parts that might be needed on short notice. Labor is billed at $95/hr. We use BMW parts and sell them for BMW's list price. You are on your own with any parts that you supply, with regard to the procurement, the application, and the suitability.

Report
Please bring the bike with as little gasoline in it as possible if the work involves opening or removing the tank (up to a gallon is usually OK). If the work involves removing the tank and especially removing fuel lines on a fuel-injected bike, I will remove excess gasoline. Not being in the gasoline storage business, I will probably not save that fuel for you but just put it into some other vehicle (like mine).
Shipping

1) Fully drain (overnight is best) transmissions and final drives, and then re-install plugs before packing. 3 Enclose a note with your contact information, a summary of the repair needed, and the address to which your package should be returned. Even if we have talked, emailed, PM'd and texted. You need to be VERY careful when packing transmissions and similar items.
Component Repair
Report
BMW riders from around the country and beyond send components to Virginia Motorrad for repair. Transmissions, final drives, engines, water pumps, we see it all. For technical articles on these components, look at Anton's website. Final drives: 1970 through present. Wheel spline repair on Twinshock Airheads; driveshaft spline repair on K75/K100.

Report
If you are going to be on a trip when the bike reaches 24k, it's fine to bring it in early, but otherwise I really prefer that you wait until you reach the next service milestone. Habitually advancing the service schedule leads to "service creep" where you eventually have to come in early. That causes problems (or at least wasted money) when there are items that have 24k or 36k intervals.
