First time I've been here but I've been recommended by multiple people. Superb work! First off they aren't cheap, but no German car repair is, but what you get is quality with them. They didn't overcharge, they're straight forward and broke the billing down really well. They even washed my car, maybe even waxed it. Car smelled better than when I gave it to them and they were working under the hood. Now that's service. When my car breaks down again like all good bmws do, I'll bring it back. Travis Chaney

Excellent quality work done at a fair price. Good communication and easy to do business with.

I've been to these guys before for an alternator replacement and they did a great job. When I realized my car was leaking oil I brought my car to them to find out what was going on. They took the time to look carefully for the source of the leaks and found the valve cover gasket had shrunk over time and the bolts had worked their way loose. They also noted that the radiator and heater hoses were old and cracked. The car was leaking oil AND water! Nathan and Kevin replaces the gaskets and hoses, tightened the bolts and attended to a few other issues. I got my car back running like new! I'm really impressed with their attention to detail. Thanks guys!

Very professional.

I wouldn't bring my car here unless it's a very basic service that you need like change a battery or spark plugs. They are overpriced and incompetent with their services. Stay away from the shop. You may not see your car again!

Polite, efficient service. Sure it's pricy, but when you need someone to come to you and replace that battery of some other essential immediate service, this is a great company to know. Kenneth W

Great service as usual

These guys are amazing! Highly knowledgeable, timely, easy to work with...and the friendliest and helpful automotive shop I've ever gone to! Just a great, family owned and honest shop. I HIGHLY recommend!! Jason Osburn

Top notch shop and extremely clean, extremely well trained ASE certified mechanics and service writers. The only shop in the area I trust on Major services with both of my Hondas.

The service was great.....Friendly and professional. They took the time to explain the work they did and let me know of any additional issues and things I will need to address in the future. Their pricing was very good. Nice to have a local service center I can trust.
