As far as I know, they hire a welder to come to the shop.

This is true but he's right next door. He did a great job on my dads car and is a great guy.

There is also an alternative to welding, which is the epoxy method. This is, assuming you don't have any cracks present. Go read up on the epoxy method on m3forum, as well as the foam gun method. Instead of welding the plates, epoxy is used.

If I chose the welding method, or other maintenance work, I wouldnt hesitate to bring my car to Stancefactory.

I Got mine done at RMP. Did an excellent job and was a VERY reasonably price.

I had a horrible crack on the left side of my 323ci, got everything welded together without removing anything other than the exhaust at an exhaust shop near keele and finch. The whole thing cost me $80, with the removal of the resonator for free as a bonus

Thank you everybody for your advice and help.
I went to auto evolution and had the tms plates fusion welded. Also installed some bushings.
I paid 450 for everything and he did an amazing job.

awesome post guys. Good to hear there are cheaper places to do this job other than the couple monopoly shops that charge thousands.

I have a 323ci and the TMS plates ready as well, subframe okay so far, just waiting for the right time to install them.
