During 2021, we used Bavarian Auto Repair for assorted repair needs on our Mercedes S550 & BMW X3. Ralf and his team's professional handling of these repair needs left such a positive impression on us. Being used to working with dealer shops for several years and hesitant to move away from them was very quickly alleviated by the courteous & caring style demonstrated by Bavarian Auto Repair. In fact, they went beyond expectations to provide satisfaction regarding our vehicle needs.
Thanks Ralf, and all the best for a prosperous and safe 2022.

Positive: Professionalism
We have been going to Bavarian for years. We love the people and the service. Every time we have taken the car for service the results have been outstanding. I highly recommend their service.

First time going and will be back. Had wheel balancing issues on my BMW and the techs here were very professional and thorough. Didn't try to upsell any extra services. Test drove my vehicle twice to ensure it was done correctly. Seem like a honest shop that has pride in their work.

Thanks Andrew for the service you did for my car it's always nice knowing my car is in good hands😁 I recommend this place forsure.

I recently had a bad experience at Bavarian Auto Repair. I took my 2013 BMW in on Thursday, Sept. 16 for a valve cover gasket replacement. I also asked them to investigate a drive train malfunction warning that appeared a few days before I took it in. They informed me that my timing chain was loose and needed to be replaced. We viewed the video that they sent showing the loose chain and we authorized the repair. My car was supposed to be ready on Friday, but they didn't complete the job until late afternoon on Monday. When I picked up my car, I noticed that the itemized invoices for both jobs were

Took my BMW X5 to get the transfer case replaced. They found a good, low mileage transfer case in Cali and had it delivered and replaced with no issues. They also replaced my Valve cover and gasket. Price was reasonable considering the work and communication was great. It took longer than expected, but I knew given the whole Covid issue this might have happened. Overall, happy with the results and will go back.

I work for Ruiz Ranch Motors of Spring Branch and entrusted Bavarian Auto Repair to take care of a clients vehicle. Couldn't be happier with the service and professionalism of this shop. Fast turn around, transparent, and affordable. I will be recommending clients, family, and friends alike to this shop. Their front desk person Carlos helped me through the process and is awesome to deal with. A huge thank you from the whole Ruiz Ranch team, Bavarian Auto Repair!

HAD BRAND NEW WHEEL LOCKS PUT ON CAR A DAY BEFORE I HAD IT TOWED IN FOR OIL LEAK ,somehow the lock disapeared after a week or so i had to order new locks. after 1900$ oil lines repaired they left off wind shield underneath car only way I found out was that I took front shield off to see where leak was coming from . AS I WAS INSTALLING… FRONT AIR SHIELD i noticed it was missing called said he could not find because another repairman took it off he looked and could not find i was waiting for call no call i called and he said oh yes we found it a call would have been nice and professional!

Great place to have my Mini in perfect running condition. Derrick and the crew do a great job!!

Great job on rebuilding the suspension on my prized M3 and maintaining my 330i! Great service and reasonable prices.

Great friendly people, very confident when your car is being diagnosed. amazing service! I wouldn't take my car anywhere else.........

Staff was very friendly and professional. The shop is very accommodating and transparent with their customers. I went in for a brake fluid flush, but they found some other issues that were requiring repair. Instead of trying to make a quick buck and convincing me all the repairs needed to be done right then and there, I was told which issues were more urgent and which could wait and was in no way pressured to get any of them done that day. I was also provided with quotes for said repairs with part numbers listed. This establishment truly has their customer’s best interest in mind. They provide

CROOKS. CHECK YOUR INVOICES. Holy do not do business with these guys. I got my e46 inspected here prior to buying it. They charged me 180 bucks for a ppi when every other shop is around 120. Figured these guys would do it right so I decided to spend the extra. They printed out everything that was wrong with it and I bought the car. In the first 20 miles, brake light and abs lights come on. Previous owner told me that happened to him, shop told me it was probably because brake fluid needed to be flushed. I got it flushed, lights still came on. I run the codes and it's brake pressure sensors

Derrick and frank took care of my bmw needs . They are real knowledgeable and have a passion for cars. I recommend this place for all your imports. These guys rock!!!

I went there for a transmission job they refused to use my coupon that I had that was Valon. The manager started yelling at me and calling me names. Transmission wasn't even the problem is the solenoid on the transmission. I had to end up getting a second transmission three months later and they did not warrantee their work.

With the new ownership (2019) a lot has changed toward negative. I brought my BMW X5 for replacement of two door handles and one window regulator. I was quoted 3-4 hours of work and we agreed on a total of $525 while I provided the parts. Seven hours later I finally got my car back with airbag sensor not reset and a total price of $547.73. When I asked what cost me extra $21 the owner quoted "rags, glass cleaner, cleaner, spray lube" and the like! This is a very dishonest way of doing business. If they grease up my windows it's up to them to clean it, or leave it alone for me

I took my Mini Cooper to this shop, having multiple problems with the engine. Prior to this I received several estimates from other Mini Cooper mechanics. With each estimate, the problems quoted were more or less the same. So I thought that was pretty straight forward. In the initial approach with Bavarian I met the owner and general manager. Both were likable and seemed experienced enough to do the job. They had my Mini Cooper 2-3 weeks and essentially did what they said they would do- not counting the two add-on repairs that came along the way (found problems that weren't detected during

I asked for an oil service and an oil analysis. Upon arrival, I provided my oil sample kit. Purpose was to check if my car needs a rod bearing service. About 2 hours later, I'm told they were doing a final check on my oil level. I then see my car drive off and I end up paying the bill and ask about my oil sample. I'm told by the manager that they can mail it off for me (with a confident smile on his face).

**I leave the room because it was awkward that another customer walked in to complain about their service.**

My car returns and I approach the guy and ask him why he drove off with

So the owner of this mechanics shop is one of the most solid guys I've ever known and his tenacious work ethics are exactly why I will keep his shop as my only go to place! Milan won't sugar coat things and then leave you hanging later with a large bill you weren't expecting and if he said he will do something he does it! Plain and simple! You ever find yourself in the unfortunate place where you need repairs on your ride, then don't even think twice about Bavarian Auto Repair... just get her on in there and you'll be happy you did!

First time here but definitely a lifetime customer. I will be taking my 2002 BMW here every time it gives me trouble. Doug is honest and reasonable. Was referred buy a friend. So happy to have found this place.

On April 15, 2018 my wife and I left Chula Vista, CA driving to Hilltop Lakes TX. Just before we arrived in Las Cruces NM, my brake lining light came on. That night, I started looking online for BMW Independent repair shops in and around San Antonio TX, and one of them I found was Bavarian Auto Repair. Other shops who gave me estimate were way too high, but Bavarian Auto gave me estimate much lower than the other shops, with quality OEM parts (rotors, pads & sensors). I made and appointment on Apr 17 and was accommodated right away when I got there. The staff was nice and respectful, the shop

I had to take my BMW X5 in for some work. Jason and his staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend them.

Bavarian does decent work and repaired my vehicle a couple of times. However, the last time I had my car worked on they took it for a test drive and the brake light turned on and admittedly the repairmen said he slammed on the breaks to check my car. They then said I needed new breaks not rotors and the estimate for over $1000!!!! I was shocked !!! I went to another mechanic that specializes in BMWs and got them fixed for less than half the price and they did great work. Another time my headlight was out and they told me it needed to be replaced and it was going to be over $500. Turns out the light

Jason and his staff always go the extra mile, don't up sell, and are truly talented at what they do and are more than willing to explain anything in detail. The only place I'll bring my car to for any maintenance.

Great service got oil changed here and was quick and easy. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Support these guys w your business. Difficult to get good bmw service in SA but they've got it
