Has anyone used SF BMW Coding before?

Question for you guys that are in the bay area.... have you had your car coded by SF BMW Coding before? Wanted some feedback before I decide to use them. I have seen a lot of feedback for Alex@Alpine and was strongly considering using him, but it would be nice to have a local shop to go to.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Jimmy

Its really not rocket science to do, the only time consuming part is figuring out which things you want to do and what you are able to do. I just went off the lists online and more did it out of boredom, but if you read all the stickies and order a $30 cable off amazon, you can very easily do it yourself.

Did you ever get the coding done? I have a couple friends who want to get it done as well. Maybe we get a group buy
