When
your friend offers to work on your car, just say no.
(unless
your friend works at Terry Sayther Automotive)

A customer brought his E32 1990 735i in
to have his cylinder head repaired/ replaced. When we gave him an
approximate cost for the job, he decided to find someone else to
do the job for cheaper. That person ended up being a friend who
offered to do the job for much, much less. After a month of waiting
for his car to be finished, the customer finally got the car back.
After driving it for a few days, the customer realized that something
wasn't right. Finally it stopped driving all together and he had
it towed here. We opened up the motor and saw that the timing chain
had come loose and the
valves had been chewed by the pistons. Beware of people who say
they can do complex auto repair jobs for cheap prices, it may cost
you much, much more in the end.
