Recommend Mechanic - Colorado - North Denver/Boulder Area

Can anyone recommend a mechanic that they like/trust that has decent rates that is in Colorado in the North Denver, Boulder, Longmont area?

I am not mechanically inclined, have a few things I would like to have put-on/done to my 2015 Countryman, and the amount the Dealership wants to charge is beyond criminal. They want to charge 4.5 hours at $130 an hour to put in the rear swaybar. If I had any way to lift it myself I might try it...but I just can't rationalize $585 as an installation.

So if anyone knows a good shop I would love to know.

You might want to grab a friend and try it yourself. There used to be a FANTASTIC place called Bimmerwerks in Broomfield. A little googling tells me they have changed their name to autosport werks. They're off of wadsworth and 121. I haven't used them in forever because I moved way south (Parker). If you fancy a drive south, Parker Imports (e470 and parker) has rack rates that are usually ~115ish an hour and they typically charge less per job (in hours).

I second the recommendation for Autosport Werks in Broomfield (303-460-9900). I haven't had them do any work on our Countryman JCW (as we just recently picked it up) but they have done fantastic work on my other "BMWs" (E30 M3 and E28 M5). Best of luck...
