I recently picked up an R56 Mini, which are known for a ton of issues. Did some research and found out Ultimotive actually specializes in Mini & BMW. Scheduled an appointment for them to go over and replace a LOT- guess what, they actually told me I didn’t need some of the work I requested. Blew my mind because that one little action proved they aren’t going to do unnecessary work just to make some money off of me. Plus, excellent communication about what’s going on and fair prices. I will be taking both of my vehicles here in the future!!
Thank you for your prompt attention to my flat tire issue. My tire was fixed within only a few hours of my call. You saved the day! I truly appreciated your honesty and knowledgeable assessment of my other tires, and also how you explained everything to me!
Super helpful and knowledgeable especially if you have BMW or mini
The only place in York where me and my friend bring our MINI Coopers. I trust their expertise and trust that they will not take advantage of a situation. Truly kind people as well. I cant recommend highly enough.
Ultimotive was recommended to me a few years back after my vehicle’s warranty had expired and the dealer wanted an arm and a leg to fix the problem. The guys at Ultimotive were honest, straight forward, efficient and 1/2 the price. Since then our family has taken all our cars there for all our needs; from oil change, inspections to tires !’ We highly recommend Ultimotive Service Center.
Wonderful service for me and my Mini Cooper
Needed some hoses replaced on my Evoque. Erin was AMAZING! Service was great, professional but easy-going team. They are now on my speed-dial! Thank you Erin and team!
I couldnt be happier w my experience. I brought my 2012 Mini Cooper to Ultimotive w a lengthy list of action items. They not only executed the list, but they also showed/explained to me what had occurred as well as what they did to repair the issues. Its evident that they take great pride in their work. And best of all, their pricing is super fair. I will certainly be a repeat customer.
Chip and his crew are really good folks. They always get me in and out. If you have a high end import, you can not beat this place. Excellant prices and unlimited knowledge.
Great service. Excellent mechanics
Great shop and fair prices, Chip the owner is great to work with! Highly recommend this shop. Hard to find a quality honest mechanic anymore but this is a fine example here tucked away in York!
Chip Kopp has worked on my cars for many years. When he opened his own garage, I was happy to continue to use his services. He currently takes care of my 2010 Honda Element. I drive this vehicle for personal and business use, and I typically log 20,000+ miles a year. If my car isnt in tip-top shape, I dont earn a paycheck. I know when he makes a recommendation for service or repair, he has this in mind. I trust his recommendations AND his work 100%. Hes efficient, hes smart, and he has tons of certifications. His prices are extremely fair, especially when the work he does is excellent quality. You cant go wrong using Ultimotive Service Center.
I grew up in York but am a resident of Philadelphia. Id been having some trouble with my 2003 Volvo S60 refusing to accelerate which had been accompanied by a grinding sound for a couple of years but I wasnt terribly concerned since I dont use my car that often in Philly. The issue peaked during a trip back to York on a Sunday-- I wasnt able to accelerate past ~45mph on the turnpike-- so dropped the car off here by recommendation of Larry, a family friend who runs Concours Unlimited. I am highly satisfied with this team as I believe them to be perfectly honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy based on this experience.Monday after dropping the car off, I spoke with Chip over the phone and told him they could keep the Volvo as long as they needed to since Id taken the train back to Philly and wouldnt be needing it anytime soon. A few phone chats and a couple of weeks later, I came back to the shop and Chip explained to me in person what he believed to be the root of the issue-- the throttle body, which was located next to the catalytic converter and had probably been subtly affected when Id had the catalytic converter replaced 2 years prior. He was handily able to show me an example of a throttle body so Id understand what was happening when I attempted to accelerate too abruptly. He offered me the option of replacing the throttle body but told me that he felt it was unnecessary and that based on my cars system configuration, the failure to accelerate was a self-preserving mechanism he referred to as limp mode. He didnt charge me for the exam or the tutorial, which I thought was incredibly generous.Based on Chips tutorial and my newly acquired understanding of the throttle body/limp mode mechanism, I was able to drive my car back to Philly the same day without further issue. I plan to bring my car back to Ultimotive anytime I have another question and whenever its time for inspection.
Outstanding service and knowledgeable. Great work on my audi!
Chip is just a damn nice guy. Will be a first line recommendation for Euro work. Keep up the good service.
Very accommodating and friendly mechanic that knows his stuff about Euro-cars. In some cases, he did not charge for minor services which could have done so.
Quality service at a fair and reasonable price!
Difficult people to work with.
