My car broke down coincidentally across the street from Bavarian car care around lunch time. I walked over and spoke to Jay. He assured me he would send a technician over immediately after lunch to diagnose the problem. They found the issue and had the vehicle repaired before the close of business that day. Very straight forward and fair. Will definitely be returning for future repairs/maintenance and would absolutely recommend.
Bavarian is your absolute best goto BMW car care team in Miami (and maybe anywhere). There are many reasons for this.I have worked with shops in many locations around the country (including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, and Miami, to name a few). Frankly Jay and Glenn, and their team are the best I have ever experienced.The foundation for this at Bavarian, is second-to-none vehicle knowledge and maintenance skill / experience, coupled with absolute honesty and integrity.As an example, I recently had some repair issues on one of my BMWs that other shops would have immediately optimized (choose the most expensive way to fix it). Given the subtle complexity to the mechanical issue, the customer would not have been the wiser, and the repair would have been very expensive (multiple $ thousands). Bavarian, does not work that way. You will get a clear, thorough and honest assessment of what your vehicle issues are, and recommendations accordingly.Additionally, if you are worried about the stereotype of being female or less mechanically knowledgeable, and walking into a typical repair shop expecting to be taken advantage of, fear not. I send my daughter here with her 4 Series, and don’t ever need to second guess what she is being advised on, regarding service and repairs.Conversely, I would never send someone with limited mechanical knowledge to a dealer for service. That’s where you really get taken advantage of (although you do get a frothy latte from the coffee machine in the dealer lounge, that costs you an extra $1,000 - sorry they don’t offer that at Bavarian).Jay, Glen and Bavarian Car Care truly care about their customers, and customer vehicle outcomes. See for yourself.
I TRUST BAVARIAN! THEY ALWAYS PROVIDE HONEST FEEDBACK & ARE BETTER PRICED THAN GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT FEELS GOOD TO SUPPORT A LOCAL BUSINESS THATS JUST AS GOOD (OR EVEN BETTER) THAN THE BIG GUYS!
If you still want to believe in honest mechanic shops.....youve that here.
Conscientious owner and excellent mechanics.
Fixed my daughters car in a timely manner and they were honest and upfront about what was wrong with the car and how much it would cost.
You want honesty? Come here. You want great prices? Come here. Jay is a great guy with 20+ years of experience. The shop is equipped with everything they need to fix your car. Will keep coming back, they go above and beyond!
I have a 2003 E-46 M3 convertible. There is a legitimate reason why these guys have so many 5-star ratings. They treated my car and my wallet better than I often do! I am pained to be moving away from the area, because I would be returning for all of my BMW service to Bavarian! Best in the business!!!
My BMW M3 went into safety mode due to recent engine problem. Jay and the techs at Barvarian trouble shot and repaired the problem in a professional expedited manner. My M3 is running great it was returned clean and the price was right. Its no surprise they been in business close to 30 years. I would not hesitate to use them again for future maintenance.
The best place in Miami to take your BMW!Very professional and great prices.Jay the owner is very honest, no hidden fees.I will take my BMW here every time!I change my battery and had a full check up within minutes! Highly recommended especially if looking for great reasonable prices. Thank you!
This is how customer service should be everywhere! I recently got my wifes X5 serviced by Bavarian and I wouldnt trust any other shop with it. If you have a BMW this is the place you need to take it, theyre honest and prices are fair! Thank you guys!
I never write reviews but this place is a treasure. Jay, Glen and the rest of the staff are professional, honest and deliver the best service for BMW vehicles in Miami. I have a 2008 328xi and have been going to them for years and they have taken excellent care of my car. They are upfront with the pricing, explain car issues in a way that a layperson could understand, and always solve whatever issues Ive had in a timely manner. Also, Glen is an artist with respect to body work. He has the ability to think outside the box and has made my car look brand-new. I simply will not go anywhere else as long as this place exists.
Excellent and honest. Southmotors BMW is a rip off. I will never go back. Bavarian lead with the best policy...HONESTY
Been taking my Z3 here since I got it, excellent service
As a new BMW owner, I was nervous about finding a shop to service my vehicle which was no longer under warranty. The shop was professional and quick to accommodate me as a new customer. Jay was extremely knowledgeable and respectful. I felt at ease. Repairs were done in a timely fashion. The final cost was competitive, and actually slightly less than their competitors. I appreciated their service, and honesty. I will most definitely be going back and I have already recommended them to friends. Big fan!
Great Guys - Great advice / Honest
My husband and I have taken our 330I to Mr. Jay, Mr. Glen and their team for about 5 years. Never have they failed to deliver outstanding service, unmatched professionalism or given us a reason to find mechanical help elsewhere. Hands down they are the most honest, reliable and affordable mechanic shop weve ever had that continously have our best interest at heart. We highly recommend Bavarian Car Care for all BMW needs.
Jay and his team did a great job with my 2014 BMW 550i. Although it was in for only oil/fluid maintenance, he was thorough with an evaluation, gave fair assessment of upcoming maintenance, and was fair with price. Level of service and flexibility were great.
A locally owned business that does a great job at the right price!The owner, Jay, is always upfront with the cost and explains what is wrong with my car in a way that I can actually understand! His team uses BMW diagnostic software and they get the parts directly from the dealership. He keeps me updated with the progress on my car and the job has always been completed on time or earlier!- A Bavarian customer for life.
Excellent service and extra careful. my car was in very good hands.
I have been a happy and satisfied customer of Bavarian Car Care for over six years now. Through their expertise and creativity, they have kept my 1995 525 wagon and 2006 525xi sedan on the road (a mechanical miracle in its own right). Jay, Glen and the whole team are both friendly AND professional. The are efficient in completing the repairs. Without a doubt, they will have my business as long as I own a BMW. I highly recommend them for your BMW service provider.
Excellent Employees,I was recommended happy
Jay was great, the service was great, i knew already what my issue was from a bimmer forum before i entered the place... and he told me the same thing! Saved me a lot over what the dealer would have charged. I would recommend highly.
After trying several places in Miami, I consider this place as the best to service my car. Amazing service and they’re very professional. They keep you informed and up to date on what’s going on. This is the place to go for a professional top notch work with affordable prices. I highly recommend them.
I dont think Jay and Glenn could help any more. Great job.
Jay and his staff are true professionals, very knowledgeable, honest and keep you informed of your service status. I would not take my BMW anywhere else. Thank you Jay and the Bavarian Car Care team for your superb service and always taking care of my BMW.
Ive been getting my car service here since 2015. Jay and his staff are great at diagnosing issues based on experience as well as the use of technology. That to me is important! Youre probably looking at 100 yrs of experience if you total up everyone. Ive done everything from a basic oil change to an engine swap and cat delete, so yeah they can handle it.
Jay, was very knowledgeable on BMW’s and really professional. I will be bringing my BMW’s here from now on.
Excellent costumer service, Excellent BMW specialist, costumer satisfaction is their upmost priority.they treat you like you are family. They really know what they are talking about. Very respectful and genuine people. They dont lie or make up things to get your money they are very sincere people. Very happy with the Job they have done with my BMW 335i I will definitely recommend this place to anyone with BMW and I would definitely stay with them as a costumer. GREAT JOB 🤗🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🚗🚗😁😊
I came here because of the reviews online and quality follows suit as to what is said.I had a car with maaany problems and they took it on without hesitation. They pay attention to your car as if it were their own and keep you informed. Very reasonable pricing as well.If you’re deciding where to go, stop looking and come here.Highly recommended and very satisfied.Jay was great!I found a shop I will go to always.
All of the reviews Ive read are true reflections of Jay and his team. After searching extensively for an honest mechanic to troubleshoot my car I came across Bavarian by sheer coincidence. They were able to see us the next day and were open before 8 a.m. The best part was how straightforward they were in the assessment and recommendation. They were transparent in stating the work needed was outside the scope of their shop and did not charge me for the diagnosis. I truly wished I had found this shop 4 years ago. I highly recommend this shop. Thanks Jay and Glen....you are true gems!
My mother recommended this place to me...guys there are friendly and knowledgeable...prices very reasonable, will definitely keep going there
Better service and attention than any BMW dealership out there. They are knowledgeable and keep you well informed with updates and status of your vehicle. Always easy to speak with someone unlike at the dealer where you always get the service advisors voicemail and pray they call you back. I will definitely for anything my BMW may need in the future. Thank you Jay for your help and honesty.
I have been using Bavarian Car Care for well over 10 years. There are no better places to have your BMW serviced than these guys. Personalized service is given to all customers who bring there cars there for service. There depth of knowledge is beyond off the charts. I highly recommend using Bavarian Car Care.
I took my BMW here for an inspection a day before my warranty expired and they helped me even as a walk-in. They showed me everything that was wrong with the car so I could get it fixed by the dealer under a warranty! True professionals who have the customers best interest in mind, and anyone who lives in Miami knows how rare that can be here. I am definitely taking my BMW here for service/repairs now that my warranty has expired. Why take it anywhere else? These guys are the sage masters of BMWs...
So...... these guys are the best!!! I have an old 328i convertible with top issues.. I came in without an appointment, and while I was deciding on when to leave it, Glen and Jay came outside, cranked the top closed and bent my trunk latch back into place and did not want to charge me... now that the top is closed, I can make plans to leave the car another day... which I definitely will.. but at least I wont look like a wet rag when I do come back... thanks guys.. see you soon...
Highest quality automotive work done at reasonable charge. If you drive a BMW this is where you take it.
I own an E92 M3 and ever since the car was bought my place to go have been here. They are truly professionals and honest. I highly recommend them.
Without question, the mechanics at Bavarian Car Care are at the top of their game. They are honest, reliable, knowledgeable, and always willing to go that extra mile for their customers.....hard to find this combination of qualities these days. My BMW and I couldnt be happier with Bavarian. Oh, and full disclosure--Jay just happens to be my brother. No matterthough--he knows better than just about anyone else what a tough customer I can be!
Ive never had anything but a wonderful experience here. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and a pleasure to do business with. The mechanics are very thorough. I am very particular about my car, so having a shop I can actually trust means a lot to me.
Turn around time: 5/5 Knowledge of Vehicle: 5/5 Price: 5/5 Customer Service: 5/5 Friendly: 5/5Firstly. I am not from this area. Had a failing wheel bearing on my 328i. I of course called all the local BMW shops. There are a few things I noticed... the other shops were not only more expensive but the mechanics I talked to, honestly didnt know exactly what they were talking about, or didnt have the proper tools to complete the job (that includes one of the popular dealerships here). I know how to do most Mechanical stuff myself, so with that I can tell who is trying to BS and who knows whats going on.Jay knew exactly what was going on, was very informative on where everything was at repair wise. He also knew information about my vehicle I wouldnt of expected, this is a quality of someone who is a master of his trade. These guys not only got the job done, but they went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. Save yourself the time and trouble, if you want quality care for your Bimmer, take it to these guys, dont mess with the other halfway shops, who just have general knowledge of vehicles.
No questions or hidden fees. Just set up an appointment and it was done. Of course I had to wait but was out within 2 hours. Awesome service.
The best and most honest BMW car care in town, highly recommend!
My car ended up having a wiring issue with the battery. Bavarian took a look at my car even though they were very busy and found the problem quickly. I was willing to pay them for the trouble but they refused! They have won my trust and all my future business.
They have worked on all my cars for the past 12 years. Great price, Great service, Great staff. They keep you posted through out the whole process and they also bring you to the attention of potential issues. These are the go to guys.
Was in the market for a 2016 535i M-Sport package, found a vehicle at a local dealership and took the vehicle over to Bavarian Car care with no appointment scheduled and the owner was kind enough to go ahead and look the vehicle over before I finalized the purchase at a local dealership. To make a long story short they found out the car had had some major damage underneath that was not listed on the carfax and there was no way to know without putting the car on the lift. Bavarian Car Care saved me from making a 28k mistake, and Im greatly appreciative of them. Nothing but great service and extremely helpful. I purchased a certified pre owned vehicle afterwards from another dealership and will be taking it to bavarian for the life of the vehicle. Thank you again guys.
This place knows how to take care of people and their ultimate driving machine. After my experience with them, they have become my go to shop for all things with my E46s, and knowing my e46, I’ll be there a lot and I couldn’t be in better hands.
Top notch team!
Long time customer, 5 star service every time! These guys know what theyre doing and theyre very trustworthy and professional 👍🏼
Trust Shop and Nice guys.They know what they doing and take care of my 535xi always, Thanks again.
Bavarian Car Care has been a complete car care center for my 2005 Z4. I now only take my car there. The two repairs that were needed were fixed far less than the price of the dealership. Both repairs (separate events) were done in one day. Both repairs have lasted. BCC gives me the freedom now to buy a used BMW for my daughter and have no worries. The staff there tells me what I need and more importantly, what my car does not need. When I used to take my car into a dealership it always seem to have a need. I trust Bavarian Car Care.Walter Flinn
This place is amazing! I am the proud owner of an e24 635csi. This shop did the impossible and breathed life back into my baby. Very honest and trustworthy and very reasonably priced. All other local shops turned me down due to the cars vintage, but these guys took this repair on with ease and extensive knowledge. I own 4 BMWs .... I was treated as family and im proud to say that this is now my go to shop for ANYTHING! If you have an old classic or a new car out of warranty, or even modifications....this is THEE place to go. 5 stars!!!
Best BMW shop in Miami. Excellent service and expertise at fair market cost. You can trust Bavarian Car Care.
These guys are the only ones who ever touch my BMWs. Extremely knowledgeable and most importantly, honest.
This shop is a gem for anyone looking to fix their bmw. After I was quoted over 1k in repairs by my local stealership, I took my bmw to Bavarian car care. They performed a simple diagnostic and it ended being a 20 dollar ignition coil that was faulty.
I have been using this shop for 13 years. They are competent, and most importantly to me, honest.From my 325IS to my 535 wagon to my current day 04 X3, I have never had a bad experience.These are good people.John CosomanoMiami, FL
The owner, Jay, is awesome. Takes good care of his customers. Extremely knowledgeable.
Great service and honest owners. I have been bringing my cars to this shop for over 20 years.
Jay and his team are professionals who take pride in their work and tell you whats what with no BS. They have taken great care of my e46 vert every time. I have never had to return after the repair as they do the job the right way, the first time, using OEM parts. They are the only shop I trust with my baby!
Great work good customer service
Ive been going to bavarian for 3 years now. These guys deserve 5 stars. Jay, one of the owners, is a great guy, very friendly and has tremendous knowledge of our bavarian cars. Extremely cometetive prices aswell! Hands down the BEST BMW MECHANICS in miami.
