I got a pre-purchase inspection done here on a 2012 128i I was buying from out of state. They were very thorough, knowledgable, and transparent throughout the process and made me feel extremely confident buying this car without having seen it in person. Thank you so much!

So this happened a bit ago but I would like to share my experience with this place as a young woman. I went in to get my flex disc replaced. I would have done it myself but I was really stretched on time. They told me $150/hour. It should have been about a two hour job and on average the part is about $100-$150. So it’s about $450 to replace something pretty simple. It is what it is. I get a phone call saying my car would be done in 30 minutes. An hour a half goes by so I give em a call saying “So are you done? Can I come pick up my car?” With a mouth full of food he says yes the car is ready. The total came out to $540 and when I gave him $600 in cash, they were joking somewhat that I didn’t need my change and that I should tip them the $60. I paid for your guys’ lunch essentially. No I’m not going to tip you $60. It wasn’t the worst service but I would definitely check your options first before coming here.

Franjo, Milenko and now Chris provide top-notch service when it comes to repairing and maintaining my BMW cars. I use this shop for 5 years now and never been disappointed. They go extra mile and not trying to sell services you do not need as dealers do. They know what they are doing and always use BMW authentic parts. Yes, it is expensive to own BMW these days but at least their prices are transparent and honest and you know your car in the hands of professionals. Highly recommend.

There’s a reason they call Chris, “The Doctor.”The guy is a BMW whisperer.Don’t hesitate to give these folks your business. From price to execution they get it right, every time.

Good service, honest people, and a good price.I used to go to Silicon Valley Bimmer in the south bay for services that are performance-related. They are good but its a bit too far away from where I live, also the customer service was just ok. I tried several indie shops here in Peninsula and Bimmers is by far the best one. Chris and Milenko are friendly, patient, and helpful. They know what they are doing and they just make sure that your problems get solved. Chris also gave me maintenance tips on my tuned car. Highly recommended.

Quick and trustworthy. They want you to know exactly whats wrong with the car so you know what theyre doing and why. Have had my BMW for a year now and time in and time out Chris has impressed me with his work. They even show me the parts they replace showing why they needed to be replaced. My go to shop for my BMW. I recommend it to my entire BMW group and for anyone with a BMW.

THEY WERE EXCELLENT. THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR RIGHT AWAY AND ORDERED THE PARTS. CHRIS, THE MECHANIC PUT THE PARTS IN AND I HAD MY CAR BACK IN ABOUT 24 HOURS. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH HOW I WAS TREATED AND THE WORK DONE ON MY CAR. THEY ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL.

Ive had my BMW repaired at several shops over the last 15 yrs. Bimmers is the sweet spot between quality repairs and fair pricing. The guys there have a high level of integrity and are good at what they do. I highly recommend them.

Bimmers just saved me over $2500! I took the car to Peter Pan BMW for some warranty work on fuel injection and had an issue with my daytime running lights. They called to tell me the fix for the light would be $2500. Brought the car back to Bimmers, my usual mechanic, to confirm that the identified issue was really justified, and they fixed the light in 5 minutes for $33! I highly recommend Bimmers, they have serviced my car for several years and i wouldnt go anywhere else.

We cant say thanks enough to Bimmers for such great service! They were able to diagnose and fix our problem in just a few hours. Their service and expertise was excellent and their caring was beyond compare. Last month we were traveling long days from southern California to Washington and had car trouble with our Mini Cooper. We were so fortunate that Bimmers was just blocks from our hotel. We took our car to Bimmers first thing in the morning and told them we really needed to leave for Washington that afternoon. Even though they were already busy, they were able to squeeze us in and get us on our way. We highly recommend Bimmers Independent Service in the San Carlos, CA area.

This shop is as good as it gets; honest, thorough, and very fair in price. If you have any issues with your car dont hesitate to take it here.First of all, Im a huge car guy and normally do all my own maintenance / repair work and generally feel like any shop Ive ever visited was out to overcharge you and try to sell you things your car just didnt need. As someone who actively avoids dealerships and mechanics I can honestly say this shop changed my mind.Unfortunately, my serpentine belt broke on my way to work a few weeks back and BImmers Independent was the only shop in the area open before 8am. Typically, this isnt a big deal but with my particular engine these belts can cause catastrophic engine failure by getting sucked behind the crank pulley and into the block. I didnt know how bad it was but was prepared for the worst.Upon arrival, I was greeted by Milenko who almost immediately knew what the issue was and provided an honest and up front overview of what happened and what the potential damage could be. He assured me that they would keep me updated (they did, frequently) on the progress and he provided best and worst case scenario estimates so I wasnt caught off guard if things were really bad. He even had me talk to the mechanic (Chris) who recently repaired a similar car with the same issue they just had in a few weeks prior which ended up needing much more repair work than mine did.They needed to replace some other parts and I asked them to take care of a few other items while they were in there and the final total was less than the original quote because they were able to finish things up a bit quicker than expected. Ive never seen a shop do that before - Milenko and Chris kept their word and in doing so has made a customer for life. If I ever need any other work on my car I wont hesitate to bring it here, and you shouldnt either.

On time, good communication of what was happening with my car and no surprises on the bill. Then after the repair they reset a dash light for me at no charge when I mentioned it.

I called Milenko on a Monday that my rear window was not working. I explained that my window rolled down but could not roll back up. He already knew what the issue was over the phone and he had the parts the next day. This tells me hes seen these issues before and knows his stuff! He repaired the window in no time. Excellent service!! I have not seen service like this in I cant remember how long. I was in and out within an hour. I HIGHLY recommend Bimmers and will definitely be back!!! Thanks Milenko!

I’ve been working on my BMWs myself for more than 20 years. I don’t trust anyone (especially any BMW dealership) to work on my cars with the same care & attention to detail that I do.A friend asked me to help him with his BMW, and I knew it was a can of worms so I told him to find a good independent shop that specializes in BMWs.Milenko and the rest of the staff did such a good job resurrecting my friends 330ci, I took note.When Peter Pan BMW did the Tataka airbag recall on my 530i, immediately thereafter the air bag light started coming on intermittently. They wanted $2100 to fix it 😳The repair involved recoding of some of the modules and I didn’t have the tools to do it.I decided to give Milenko a shot at fixing this and he did it for $700.I’m definitely coming back and I think my BMW ownership may change as now I may not have to get my hands dirty!Milenko and the rest of the staff there are as meticulous as I am (maybe more!) and they definitely have much more expertise than I do.I highly recommend this shop without reservation for any BMW owners. You won’t be disappointed!
