San Fernando Valley service shop?

zipper228 · 08-09-2017, 09:28 AM

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced indy BMW mechanic in/around San Fernando Valley that will work on M models, that is NOT Bavarian Workshop in West Hills (won't be going back there), and that they've had a good experience with recently?

Thanks in advance!

I am sorry you had a bad experience there at Bavarian Workshop. I went there one time and the owner is a total douche. He is welcome to come and talk to me and I will flame him for how he treated me there. Take your car either to Barthel Motoren Werke in Northridge they are very professional and good people and their prices are really good and they been around for a long time, for general service and good service and good prices German Tek in woodland hills see Sam, its a body shop & the auto shop is in the front Sam is a good dude and will help you with any issues you have.

I have taken my BMWs to Bimmers Service in Van Nuys. The work is good and I have found it reasonably priced.

Also taken to Bimmer-Benz in Sherman Oaks, although I haven't done any major repairs here only oil, brakes, coolant.

Ikonic in Silverlake. They are all BMW tech guys who opened their own shop after leaving Pacific BMW.

Yeah bavarian ripped me off in more ways than one (kept the car for over a week to replace valve cover gaskets, $400 charge to DIAGNOSE a TPMS issue, excessive miles put on the car

..) I'll check out those options you listed, thanks for the help!

Haha yea, Omar is awesome. I've talked to him on behalf of my sister for her car and he's totally a stand up guy.
