Matt and his team run a great operation. Ive been taking my E30 to them for the last several months, and I dont plan on taking it anywhere else unless the job is something I can do myself. They are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, take the time to explain whats wrong and why it should be fixed, and they do high quality work for a fair price. Id recommend them for anybody, but especially if you have an older BMW and want only the best care for it.
I have two Porsche vehicles that I’ve been bringing to the dealer for a couple years. Because I saw so many great reviews I decided to go to the little garage. I’m really glad that I did. I received incredible competent personal attention, and very honest and reasonable maintenance recommendations. I will only service my vehicles here instead of the expensive dealer from now on.
Fantastic service from experienced guys at a great price. The guys at the shop are always busy but they made time for my e36 m3. Had my clutch done, motor mounts, shifter bushings and a whole lot of other work done. Communication was fantastic and you can tell that these guys are passionate about their work. Cannot recommend them enough!!
Matt is always providing exceptional service. The most honest BMW mechanic and repair shop. No one knows about European cars than little garage. They saved me a lot of money by always telling me the truth or needed and un needed repairs. I trust little garage just as much or more than the BMW dealer. Hands down the best of the best.Robert
I have been bringing my car to The Little Garage since I purchased my 2012 BMW X5. I would not take it anywhere else! Matt and the crew provide outstanding service and professionalism! They are very knowledgable and know exactly how to properly diagnose and repair my BMW! Their prices are reasonable and certainly way lower than what the dealer would charge! Great service, great prices, knowledgeable mechanics! What more can you ask!
Our family has been going to the Little Garage for 30 years. Matt is an excellent diagnostician.. He and his staff are total professionals. We have always felt safe in their hands.
I’ve been to the Little Garage numerous times for numerous issues on my cars and my kids cars because they do good work at a reasonable price and they are professional and treat their customers with respect and honesty. My only concern about giving them this review is that they will get too busy and I’ll have to wait longer for them to get to my car!
The staff are very knowledgeable and professional.l have been coming here over the years and the work they do is by far the best with honesty. they have in my opinion gone above and beyond to accommodate me and my family. even personally giving me a real phone call to remind me when my inspection is due.and keeping my familys vehicles running at optimal performance. l highly recommended the little car garage. my BMW is in good hands thanks Matt and the crew!!!!!!
Matthew and his crew treat you like true customers, and not profit centers. The pricing is quite fair, the diagnoses are always accurate, and best of all, I always feel like my cars are in good hands. The Little Garage is the first service center/repair shop I have ever felt comfortable at, not worried. Highly highly recommended.
Friendly and transparent. Seemed to want my business long term. Build trust
Matt is so helpful, nice & honest. Told us what needed to be done immediately & what we could wait on. Always follows up to make sure everything is running properly. I was given his # by a friend & I would 100% recommend.
This was my first time using The Little Garage. I was specifically looking for an indy shop specializing in BMWs and found these guys on a forum I belong to. They were always rated as the Best BMW shop on Long Island, so I decided to give them a try.I spoke with Matt (owner) initially, and he was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and listened to all my concerns. What I loved most is he told me straight up what to expect, and didnt do anything without talking it over with me first. His team is incredible too...one of his guys has been with him for 30+ years, so that alone is usually a good sign of a great shop.They were timely, personable, responsive, and honest. I will absolutely be returning in the future and recommend this shop to anyone with a BMW that is looking for true experts while trying to avoid the outrageous dealership costs.
Our family has been using this place for over 15 years. However, I was very disappointed with with Matt and his sevice in early August. My check engine light came on with a drive train malfunction. In the past hes always had a set diagnostic fee of under $200. This time his mechanics moved around my coils and fuel injectors, determined I had to replace a $50 hose and charged me 5 hours for labor, adding up to $650+ in labor. He wanted over $850 for this service. Got my car back and 24 hours later the same thing happened again with CE and DTM. Took it back to him and then he wanted $2400-2500 to change 6 fuel injectors.😳🤔 Beware of the ever ballooning costs and diagnostic fees that dont fix the problem when dealing with Matt. I had my injectors, coils, and spark plugs changed by another reputable BMW mechanic with over 20 yrs dealership experience and HE didnt try to BEAT me in the HEAD with ambiguous talk and crazy prices. I spent $1100 in parts and less than $500 in labor for a job that took 2hrs to do. Dont leave your car at the shop. Stay and watch the work that they do to your vehicle to avoid hikes in labor and diagnostic fees. The Little Garage is now charging more than dealerships!!! 🤨
Always easy. Prompt professional service with phone calls detailing issues prior to doing the work. Been using them for years
I went to BMW to get a battery change on my (baby)m-3 2012 convertible. They wanted $1500 which was crazy so I put it off and happened to be driving by The Little garage. Boy, was I glad I stopped there. The owner was very nice and helpful. I gave them my car and they did a great job at a reasonable price. I’m very happy 😃 with their work & will let all my friends know about this place.
I was recommended to them via a friend. Very professional and knowledgeable about my vehicle. I will definitely use them more moving forward.
Im thrilled I found The Little Garage. Ive been looking for a reliable and trustworthy shop to take care of my car. Matt was knowledgeable and friendly - he and the team knew what they were doing, got my car back to my at the time they promised, and all for a reasonable price. I definitely will be back.UPDATE: Back for my follow-up visit and still enjoy bringing my car here. Im recommending for all of my friends to come here too.
First job done here went pretty well quick no issues. During that time I was quoted for another job $130. Dropped the vehicle off had the job done. Parts were ordered without asking then the price goes up to $500. Thats a bait and switch if I ever heard of one. Seems like they like to prey on the youth and women hoping they dont know much about mechanics, be very careful when dealing with the thieves who want to take money from their community thinking no one will call them out for being crooks. To top it all off the job was going to take 3 hours to do but taking it apart and putting everything back together the way it was before the installation took 45 minutes. Things didnt add up, the owner Matt might have been having a bad day but that doesnt excuse the fact that I didnt even get an apology for this. Definitely left a bad impression for me and I will never do business with them again.Best thing to do is to stay as far away as you can from this place.
Great trustworthy shop. Maintains my 16 year old Boxster s. No hassles no BS.
After having problems with other shops and hearing numerous recommendations, I finally brought my 13-year-old BMW to The Little Garage. Im trying not to beat myself up for waiting so long, it wouldve saved me a lot of time and money. My car had a water pump issue and also a recurring oil leak that was supposedly fixed by my local mechanic. After speaking with Matt, the owner, I came in and the car received a thorough diagnostic during which everything was explained to me in great detail. Things I needed now and those that could wait were all explained. Matt even reviewed with me all my prior repair bills from other places. To keep this review short, let me just say that overall I have never had an experience like this - from the way the job was done, to the level of expertise, and the follow-up after I took the car home - The Little Garage is just phenomenal. If you want the job done right the first time, and you care about your car, go to The Little Garage!
Matt was busy but he was able to accommodate me. I trust him with all my cars!
So glad I found The Little Garage! I trust these guys to keep my car reliable and safe. Great people, great service, honest and fair. Will keep coming back!
I have been bringing my American and Foreign car to Ace Auto and the Little Garage for decades..both company heads have always provided me the utmost professional service..my questions as to what problems are being addressed are fully discussed and explained..a forgotten question is only a short phone call away...waiting at the garage at times for a short fix has allowed me to observe the direct hands on direction Matt and Ken take in speaking to the mechanic working on my vehicle...at times they even show me what and how the repairs are going. Lastly...the mechanics..most have been at their job for many years...they have become friends and have a sincere hello and most importantly take pride in their work...as an aside..I think that Matt has never seen an older. BIMMER that he doesnt covet.
Out of overwhelming recommendations by Nextdoor neighbors, I took my 13-year-old BMW to the Little Garage for a routine service for the first time. Matt was great and the whole process was very efficient, and I think the cost was reasonable. He mentioned the left front axel may have leaked but it can still hold up for a while. I thought that was good advice on his part. You hate service shops charging you for unnecessary repairs so I thank Matt for his candor and honesty! I will definitely return in the future.
Been to Little Garage before for service & repairfor a similar but different vehicle (both 1987 MeBe 560SL). They are reliable, trustworthy & competent. Deal with the owner Matt who doesn’t look to run up unnecessary charges. He’ll say what is truly required & what you can leave alone.Estimate returned quickly with discussion of items . Car ready as promised & all work completed professionally.
Brought my bmw in they did great work for a far price
Excellent experience! VERY professional, clean shop, great customer service and fair prices. The owner Matt is an great guy and it shows in his business. I DEFINITELY would recommend.
As usual Matt provided great service and a fair price
Ive been taking my BMW X5 to Matt for years now, and I must say, the service that I have received from Matt is truly one of a kind.Matt is always incredibly patient and very transparent with me, and Matt always provides me with excellent advice as to what I should do whenever I have a question about my car.In addition, Matt treats me like family and always takes the time to explain any repairs or work that he has done on my car to me. Matts great sense of humor as he explains things to me at times is much appreciated as well.Matt is one of the most kind, honest, and genuine people that I have ever done business with in my life. He truly cares about his customers.There were times when I wanted to have something looked at on my car while I was away for school (not on Long Island), but I would purposely wait until I was back on Long Island to have Matt look at the potential issue because I trust Matt greatly with my car.I strongly believe that one of the main reasons that my car has always served me so well for years now is due to Matt always being on top of things and letting me know about any future potential matters for my car that I might want to be aware of or keep an eye on.I highly recommend The Little Garage to anyone who is looking to have work done on his/her German car not only for a reasonable price, but also at a place that offers quality service and unparalleled hospitality.
I am so happy to have found Little Garage near my hometown. Matts honesty and work ethic is something to be noted. He clearly communicates and provides an honest input on the upkeep of my daily. I will have Little Garage continue to service my E90 3 series till its last day!
Matt was a pleasure to work with. His follow up was great and the car is running great now which considering its almost 50 years old is fantastic. I highly recommend The Little Garage
Although It took a little longer than expected I am happy with the work completed.
Always a pleasure dealing with Mat. Honest and fast service. Keeping my high mileage car running great.
Matt and Ken run the most efficient and fair auto repair garage that I have ever used . We own several Mercedes Benz vehicles as well as some collector American cars . They never over sell and pricing is reasonable. Their garage is one of the cleanest and well organized . I also had them inspect several cars before I purchased them . Highly recommended for all your vehicles .
The Little Garage quite simply offers professional, courteous and efficient service consistently. I’verecommended them to many others without reservation. They service my two BMWs and I won’t bring them anywhere else.Steve D from Huntington
I highly recommend taken your vehicle to the Little Garage for any repair or maintenance. Matt is a pleasure to work with. He provides detailed information on what work needs to be done and the prices are fair. I brought in my Maserati to have the cam shaft position sensor replaced and to fix an issue with the evap system. I will be bringing all my vehicles to them moving forward. Thanks again!
Friendly and professional staff. Matt and Kenny take the time to chat through issues and make you more knowledgeable about your vehicle. Highly recommend their shop.
Very trustworthy and fair prices !
Matt was super helpful in talking to me about some of the technical aspects of which oil is best to use for our car - super helpful. Also, he pointed out that our inspection was overdue, which we had overlooked. Definitely will be returning for all of our car service needs.
Great placeThey are BMW Experts and if you have a slightly older model phenomenal work, reasonable pricing, and a true knowledge of the vehicles. It is thier passion.Highly recommend
I rely on The Little Garage for my A4 and my wifes Q3 and my daughters Q3. Before that for our BMWs. They are skilled professionals who know and research the cars they service. We rely on their support and the quality of their service and they have always delivered.
Matthew is always on all the details...and never will put up red flags just to raise the invoice total.Instead he will give an honest assessment on what he feels is necessary for the cars performance and the customers safety.Great qualified and seasoned technicians that know their way around BMWs and Coopers. I trust these guys
Matt was very helpful and offered genuine advice. Highly recommend.
SOOO HAPPY!! the Little Garage fixed my BMW (1984 - 745i)The engine has not worked reliably for over 10 years. Finally called the Little Garage and Matt spoke to me at length about my car. Next, towed it in and Matt and Hugh took me on an extensive tour of the car-explaining everything they saw. Matt is a genius at finding parts that are no longer available in this country. He also called a few times a week with progress reports on the repair ( Who thinks to do that!). Hugh is an excellent mechanic and diagnostician and spent time explaining his repairs with me. I felt very confident with Matt and Hugh. Care - Compassion - Professionalism - and Honesty, the Little Garage gives it all. So happy to drive this car again.
Very professional at all times. Provided transparency with services and costs. Trustworthy. My go to mechanical shop!
I will Only bring my Car here. The Experience speaks for itself. Better than going to the Dealership!!
Little garage explained exactly what was wrong with my bmw x5, sent me pictures and completed the repairs expeditiously and at a reasonable price. this is far and away the best place i have ever taken my car for repairs!!
Professional, Knowledgeable and very Considerate
Honest, professional automotive maintenance shop. If you own a BMW I highly recommended The Little Garage!
Excellent customer service
Matt was really friendly and helpful. I was in the process of selling my ‘95 E34 which has been in the family since new, and he inspected it and helped me with the process. He even followed up later to see how everything went.
This is a No BS operation. Skilled mechanics, impeccably clean facility. They are pro-active with communication and you always know where you stand on the work being performed.
Ive been taking my cars to little garage when I can since my children were 4 & 5 years old. The are in their 30s. Matt, Ken and the team are great. Thanks guys for all the help and support in diagnosing and resolving issues with my cars. Better than the Dealership!!!
Extremely professional, courteous, knowledgable, honest, prompt and careful regarding current pandemic situation.
I had a parking light replace. It was done in 20 minutes. Always a great visit😬
Excellent service, was able to accommodate my service request immediately on the day. I would highly recommend for anyone that owns a BMW
Great shop. People here honest and professional. I recommend them to all my friends.
I only have good things to say about Matt and his team. Professional, honest, and trustworthy. For any concerned maintenance, I highly recommend The Little Garage!
Matt is very professional, courteous and quick with his work.They help you get on the right track to repairing your problem. I would totally recommend this place to anyone.
Brought car in for an inspection. Matt and Ken scheduled us for a very convenient time, was in and out in 40 minutes max. This was the second time we were there, the first time they repaired a problem but also pointed out to us that our tires were actually cracked! Recommended a Huntington tire place that was reasonable and quick to purchase, replace and mount four new tires. That may have saved us from future disaster,
Professional repair shop with great staff. I have been going here since I first bought my BMW and wouldnt even think of going back to the dealer. Fair prices and honest work.
Wonderful place! The mechanics here are professionals and they work to satisfaction of their customers. Kudos!
The title says it all: concerned maintenance for your BMW.Matt and his team are like a breath of fresh air to deal with and always provide honest advice and competent service... highly recommended if you care about the well being of your vehicle...
Diagnosed a coil issue as a cause of failing inspection. Car available same day
Working with the Little Garage is always a top-notch experience. Stay away from BMW dealers--the free rental is nice, but the amount of unnecessary repairs theyll tell you that you need are absurd. Was told I needed a new $10,000 transmission, Matt took care of the problem for under $500.
Always professional and helpful. Easy to get an appointment at an agreeable time. Easy drop off and pickup. Gives me good feedback on things they see, but never does a hard push to add work & $s .
Steering wheel repair
Great business! My family has been going to them for almost 20 years. Top notch service.
This place is fantastic. Brought my Volkswagen Beetle over here and they fixed everything I needed, in good time. Professional diagnostics, they will listen and are very reasonable too. Matt and Ken were super understanding and took care of my car as if it was their own...thank you Little Garage.
The service I received from the Little Garage was excellent!
Fantastic find of a Garage just outside Huntington! BMW specialists who really know how to look after a car like my 88 325 convertible - Many thanks Matt and pulling up behind you on Woodbury rd and seeing the Little Garage above your license plate was a lucky day for me!!
The climate control on my 2005 BMW 330XI died while on the highway. My ultimate driving machine turned into the ultimate inferno! After going to Hessell BMW, they wanted $165 to look at it (and it would take all day). I turned around to the dealer I bought the car from, and they had a mechanic on hand with a nice diagnostics tool. He then told me that I needed a new climate control unit. I went to a junk yard, for $30 I tried one, and same result!! I woke up the next day and took a gamble with this shop. Luckily it paid off, and they have made a believer out of me that there are actually good mechanics on this planet. They fixed my issue in 10 min!! Fuse blown and 1 missing?! They hooked a beautiful scan tool that the guy said cost 15k to it and read all the previous codes (nothing I had to address). They also test drove the vehicle and put it on a lift to inspect it ... all for $100. Worth every penny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Little Garage is my go to repair shop. There must be 50 businesses between my house and their repair shop. Matthew is a great communicator, I never have unknown expenses, everything is discussed, just like a dealership, without the stealership pricing. Their mechanics are top notch and I recommend using them. My Mini Cooper S is just great, because they care.Thank you Little Garage.
Great repair technicians. Greater attention to detail, very professional and personalized attention. I recommend them unreservedly!
I am very glad that I knew this place this early. The mechanics here are professionals and they work to satisfaction of their customers. Recommend d them.
Just a few words abut TLG. The Little Garage and its owner Matt Meng are great. I and several friends have used them for years on my MB. They are totally professional, reasonable and almost always know what the car will need long before it comes to pass. Bottom line... I listen to Matt carefully because in the final analysis he saves me lots of money. He is a German car expert and his partner covers all other types of cars with equal care and professionalism.
I have known the Little Garage for over 12 years now. Matt is very knowledgeable and he explains all repairs and actions clearly before performing them. His mechanics are excellent and Im very happy and satisfied having my BMW E39 - M5 serviced there when needed. Thank you, - David and Anita Meza
Most honest, caring and respectful Repiar shop ever! I have been using them ever since local Porsche dealer over charged me. They make you feel like you know them for ever. Highly recommend them!!
Best place that I have found. I drive 20 miles to get my vehicles serviced. Ryan, his dad, andthe staff are all very good at what they do. I highly recommend The Little Garage for all of your vehicle service needs.
Very professional right from the start. They were honest and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Excellent customer service. Will definitely be going back!
The Little Garage took very care of me and my BMW needs. They serviced my car needs right away and had my car back on the road in a day. Their pricing as well was very reasonable. Will definitely bring my BMW there as long as I have it.
I have a 2011 135i. My first BMW, after having my car be abused by a BMW dealership I wasnt to fond of going back. Did some research online found the little garage to have good reviews. Spoke with Matt the shop owner had the work done on my car in a reasonable amount of time being that it was warranty work. They did a great job, paid very special attention to my wants and needs on the car. Will continue to go back when myself and my car are treated right.
Ive taken my car to every BMW Repair Shop and have had BMW in court. In 1 visit with the Little Garage my car is running perfect. Thank you!
I travel over an hour to bring my car to The Little Garage and I am not the only one that is doing the journey. Everyone that has had Matt work on their car, is hooked for life.Matt and Ken are the type of mechanics that are extremely knowledgeable and accountable that sets a presedent of confidence when you step into your car to drive. I drive anywhere from 250 to 500 miles a week, mostly on the Palisades and the Taconic’s winding road. It is imperative that my auto is in perfect shape for myself and the safety of the other drivers I share the road with.My car is a 1999 Mercedes in mint condition, thanks to The Little Garage. ❤️My car is at 257k miles thank you The Little Garage.
The Little Garage is, by far, the best BMW service garage in the area. Matt and company are friendly, communicative, offer reasonable prices, and are honest. If/when I buy a new BMW, its worth not taking advantage of the included free maintenance on a new vehicle so you can go here. They really are that good.
I have been working with Matt and Ken for well over 10 years, and I refuse to go anywhere else. Their knowledge of the vehicles and personality makes it all worth it. You will be pleasantly impressed with the quality of work and commitment they have.
Bottom line exceptional in everyway! There is no other place to bring your German car to. Matt and his staff gets the job done thouroughly and correctly! Very professional customer service. Extremely fair, courteous with very reasonable prices.
They diagnose any car any year and fix it for a fair price and you will not have to go back for that problem ever again. Very professional guys and are very honest!
Great place. If I would of found them sooner I would of have brought my BMW e28 there.
I went in and without having an appointment. I was in and out with an inspection in less than half an hour. I also had a gift certificate that they honored without question. Being new to the area and the process of licensing my vehicle in Utah, I was beyond relieved to have such a friendly and knowledgable staff to give me time and directive! I highly recommend this business and intend on giving them all of mine!
They are the best
LG is a hidden gem in the Suffolk county; fair, prompt and superb auto service provider I wont hesitate to recommend to anyone in a heart beat! Both Matt and the other gentleman in the office and all the mechanics are truly professional and provide outstanding customer experiences.Thank you.Sobhan
Matt takes care of my BMW like it was his own. There is no other place to go for great service and knowledge of BMWs.
They are great! Always honest, fair and quick to deal with. I would recommend them over anyone else for your aging car needs. Outside of the dealership, this is the only place Id go!
Had multiple repairs and services performed on my car. Ryan was very informative about what was to be done and it all took less than a day. I will definitely take my car there again. Thanks Dee
Had an issue with with my cars barking system. These guys were willing to work with me to make things right.I would highly recommend them!
Great group of of guys that are quite knowledgeable, thorough and most importantly straight forward.Heard about the little garage through a friend of mine and friends of mine will be hearing about the little garage.Thanks again for the high quality service.
