dB: What is your favorite part of
your job at Sigy's Service Center?
Sigy: There's no favorite part, but
what I like to do most is building
transmissions and engines. When I
was an apprentice, I worked for nine
months in the engine room. Back
then engines and transmissions got
rebuilt. There were five mechanics
in the engine room that worked on
engines all day long. They liked me
because I already knew a lot because
my father worked on cars at the
house, so I learned. Today everything
gets replaced because it's not
cost efficient, most likely. For the
older cars though, if you can't get
certain parts, you have to rebuild it.
We used to rebuild 2002
S P O N S O R
transmissions all the time. I could
do two a day. It would take less
than four hours. I met The Hack
Mechanic (Rob Siegel) at a CCA
event and we were talking about
2002 transmissions. I told him I
could remove, rebuild, and reinstall
a transmission in under four hours
and he laughed and said, " wow,
that's why you're the professional. "
That's the speed you have to bring
when working at a dealership,
especially for warranty work.
dB: What is your favorite customer
car or shop project? Favorite
personal car?
Sigy: The wildest car I have driven
was the BMW M1 (the real one with
S P O T L I G H T
the M88 engine). That car rocked.
The turbocharged E23 745i was a
really fun car to drive too. When it's
running right that car really rocks.
Man, when that turbo kicks up at
2,500 rpm, that car really goes.
I really like BMW's S65 V8 motors
as well.
dB: What NCC programs and activities
do you support?
Sigy: We advertise in your great
magazine and love attending NCC
events.
dB: What is your favorite NCC event?
Sigy: We like so many of the NCC
events. I recently attended the 2021
Annual Meeting and Picnic and
really enjoyed it. It was nice seeing
so many people that we know.
dB: What is your favorite movie in
the car, car-chase, heist, or racingrelated
genre? What's your favorite
type of automotive racing?
Mike: Smokey and the Bandit!
Gone in 60 Seconds was also great.
Sigy: I really like watching racing -
German DTM, Formula 1, Drag
racing, and IMSA racing. We've
attended many local races to
include
the big races
in
Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.
Jay Leno's Garage is also a favorite.
dB: Is there anything else that
Sigy's Service Center would like to
communicate to dB's readership?
Mike: We try our best to keep your
BMW on the road.
dB: Thanks for your time!
Sigy, Mike, and Andrew: You're
welcome!
