Stay Far Away – I found a nail in my tire and I was new to the city so I called to see if they fix tires. They said yes and that they charge $25. Since the shop is 2 blocks from my house I took my 2002 Toyota 4 Runner in for them to fix the tire. All was well they did an excellent job. The own chatted with me while they fixed it and told me how much he likes Toyotas and that he bought his wife the same make, model and year that I had. He said his wife loved the car... He was very familiar with the vehicle. Since I just moved... read more

Get your prices before dropping off car - No response – Used this place twice. First time the repairs were $400 more than expected with no good answer as to why. Second time, just for an estimate of repairs, nothing more. When I declined to have them due the work, they delayed the tow truck and charged me $100. They did not mention any cost before. I will never use them again and would suggest they be avoided. Thanks

Superpages – 1 of 5 stars Oct 24, 2007 by nola77 My car was delayed by two days and I was then overcharged at pickup from their quoted price. I will not bring my car to this shop again and do not recommend this shop to others.

Waaay overpriced – I took my Toyota there to cure a clanking coming from the rear wheel. They called and told me it was only a lug nut loose behind the hub cap but that I also needed rear brakes ($800) and to fix a valve cover oil leak ($1240). I told them no thanks and went to pick up the car. They charged me a $100 diagnostic fee to find the problem and fasten the lug nut onto the wheel. They obviously found this problem before looking at the brakes, and I never asked them to look at the engine. These guys are a rip off. T... read more

Great service pre-K but lackign now – I had great service pre-storm on my older Nissan, Volvo and Land Rover. Now they can't seem to do anything that is not major repair and charge way more than other locals. I wouldn't have gone anywhere before but now I rethink all such decisions. Last time I stated it was too much money and the clerk hung up in my ear! Great for BMW's but don't seem to want teh business liek before. Disappointed.

Best BMW Service – Owning a older BMW, I have looked for a good service center near my work, at the Corps of Engineers. This fit the bill nicely. They have kept my 97 328I convertible running at peak performance. The people there are friendly, courtous, and very professional. The head Tech is German trained at BMW, so he knows his stuff about these wonderful cars. Cost is less than the dealer for labor, and parts. I have saved considerably on a exhaust system, brakes, and service. The car is usually back in one or two days a... read more
