I response to my query for a BMW mechanic in Santiago, I got the following replies:
His name is Ruben Contreras, garage phone is 56-2-2229926, and cell phone is (09) 93301408 if you call from home phone, or 93301408 if you call from another cell phone.
The gps location of the garage is S33 27 11.2 W70 38 30.7
The garage is not very "ellegant", but Ruben is very good mechanic, and very good person.
I recommend you
Contact Josie Meyer, cell phone 56 9 9 826 0374. He has his own shop and knows a ton about BMW's.
