These guys were great! Clearly not there to take my money but to do what they could to help. Much appreciated. They checked into my issues with adaptive headlights in my 650i and gave me several recommendations. Don't waste your money at the dealership, come see these guys first. Service: Electrical

I have a 1987 BMW e28 in 535is form. I have owned this car since 1990. I purchased it from the local authorized BMW garage as a CPO car. The car came with a nice warranty and was like new. I have kept this car in top shape and have always serviced and repaired the car myself. The car mysteriously developed a condition where the engine would run until warm and just shut off!

Cool down and it would restart. I had the car towed to a local BMW repair shop that offered "factory-trained" technicians. My car has NO OBD diagnostic port. This car requires a genuine knowledgeable BMW mechanic/technician to work on it. After 8 weeks of farting around with my e28,a nd an $800 charge, I finally called B.S. and had the car towed to AUTOHAUS BAYERN. George, the wonderful old-school technician fixed this problem in 2 (TWO) hours! You read that correctly, two hours. Only AutohausBayern. Period. BTW-no new parts required. I say 10 Stars for these guys.

I am very glad to have found Marshall and George at Autohaus Bayern. They are very knowledgeable and professional. They listened as I shared what issues I was experiencing with my BMW. They provided options for solutions and answered all my questions. They communicated very well throughout the service experience; from setting an appointment that was convenient for me and worked with my schedule through the completion of the repair.

The work was performed in a timely manner and for the agreed upon price. I would highly recommend Autohaus Bayern for your BMW repair needs. Their pricing is very competitive and they are professional and honest and more pleasant to work with as compared to my experience at local BMW dealers. They are very focused on your experience as the customer and provide excellent service.

Autohaus Bayern was recommended to me by an old co worker and his family of Audi/BMW car owners when I purchased a used 2007 328 BMW a few years ago. Since i've bought my BMW, Autohaus Bayern is the only place I go to for repairs and maintenance of my vehicle. I've had plenty of work done here, from simple oil changes and diagnostic checks, to repair of oil leaks, replacement of spark plugs, coils, etc. George, Marshall and all the other technicians/staff members represent professionalism, friendliness and a willingness to provide the best service possible with flexible payment options.

This was my first time using this company. I was surprised that they charge for an estimate. I asked the representative that for future customers he should share that there is a charge to look at the car. He abruptly said in a grumpy voice, " I don't work for free." As a customer, I just want to know what's in front of me when I make an appointment.

If the company had shared with me that there is a cost to get an estimate when we booked the appointment, I would've looked at another German car mechanic in the area. For my Honda I go to Raleigh Hills automotive and they do not charge for an estimate. They also are very nice and great to work with. For future repairs on our BMW we will go to Munich Motorworks. We've already received much better customer service from them.

Fantastic service! I recently worked with Marshall at Autohaus Bayern. He assisted me with a pre-purchase inspection on a used BMW. As one knows, purchasing a used car is always tricky. Marshall was professional, offered a high level of expertise, addressed my needs immediately, and was reasonably priced. I had every confidence I made the correct purchase after working with Autohaus. Marshall came highly recommended and I understand why. He is my MY GO TO BMW mechanic from now on! Thank you Marshall for the terrific service! You are a rare find in the BMW world!

This is one of the best shops that I have ever dealt with. They are honest, timely and accommodating. Marshal is responsive and helpful upfront and George is a master mechanic with years of experience whose encyclopedic knowledge of BMW is unmatched. I cannot say enough good things about this shop.

Master Tech George and manager Marshal have helped me out with my E60 550i many times, always a great experience, with fair pricing and prompt service. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a non-dealer experience that is trustworthy and fairly priced.

My car had some issues as I drove 1000 miles from Canada to California, and it turned out to be a serious problem that could have destroyed my engine. I'm not a customer here, and I've never even made a stop in this area before, but I desperately needed a knowledgeable mechanic immediately (during the holidays, and in terrible weather). Every shop in the area was booked out for weeks, including this one, but these guys recognized how difficult my situation was and they never made me feel like I was a burden.

They gave me and my dog a warm place to wait (my heater had stopped working and I was in freezing temperatures, on the inside of my car!), they were direct and through with their evaluation, and they stayed late to get me back on the road safely. If I lived in the area, this would be my shop. I will always be grateful for their care, honesty, and consideration. Thank you to everyone in the shop - I made it home and the heater worked the whole time!

Needed a windshield wiper repair. Always go to Autohaus Bayern, who again did excellent, speedy reasonably priced work. Dropped car off in the morning and in less than 5 hours we had a new part with repair work completed on our BMW 540i yesterday! Excellent customer service!

Autohaus Bayern technician help us with our Mercedes headlights replacement and did a wonderful job. Marshall, the store manager, is friendly and helpful in explaining, scheduling the repair job. He promptly inform us when our SUV is ready. Thank you for excellent customer service.

I had replaced my timing chain and afterwards there where some codes that appeared, I don't have the scan tools and experience to know what to look for on BMWs so, afraid I had damaged something, I brought my car to Autohaus Bayern. They scanned the car, found the codes, cleared the adaptive values and performed the necessary VANOS relearning procedure.

I also had them diagnose a wobble in my steering, which turned out to be a worn CV axle. They where friendly and had me in the same week, which was great because I don't have a ton of spare time to be working on my own car. I appreciate how they treated me, some places can be condescending when you bring in something you tried to fix yourself, and I will be recommending them to all of my friends who own European vehicles.

Really glad I called Autohaus to help me with my Volkswagen Beetle! I needed a pre-purchase inspection of my car before the 7-day return ran out. Right now it's tough getting into a mechanic within the week. After calling a few places to no avail, I called here and explained my situation and time limit. Marshall was great! He completely understood and was able to squeeze me in and guarantee a report by the end of the day.

They did just that! And at a reasonable price! I had to call back a few times to ask questions and he always remembered me and was always nice and patient explaining what I didn't understand. I really appreciated that. I definitely will be coming back here for my VW mechanical needs in the future!

I was visiting family in Portland and the drivetrain warning came on. They were able to get a diagnosis done to insure the car was safe to drive home to CA. They were friendly and helpful and I wouldn't hesitate to go back if I needed anything. Autohaus Bayern was great, skip the dealerships.

We have a 2013 Mini Cooper Countryman. Marshall has helped us with our car for the last 2 years now and we need to share how much he has helped us. Automobiles are not where we are most knowledgeable. We wholeheartedly trust Marshall's knowledge and think he has saved us thousands of dollars. We purchased our Mini from the dealership on Canyon and have been given over inflated quotes.

In addition, quotes on our car that simply needed no attention. We will continue to reach out to Marshall without hesitation. He's patient, informative, & does not pressure us. Don't waste your time going anywhere else for your German car needs.

Autohaus Bayern did a fantastic job. I asked a lot of questions about the work being done, and they never hesitated keeping me up to date on the status of my vehicle. I also checked the estimates they gave me with almost all the shops in the area, and they were consistently the lowest price. When I got my vehicle back it ran extremely well. The mechanic also left me a list of things to take a look at and deal with when I was able to, which is much appreciated. Overall, I would recommend Autohaus to anyone!

I have used this shop exclusively for years! I always appreciate the many years of knowledge that George has and can always fix tough problems that many would be stumped by. When I have a question about my car, George is great at explaining what is wrong with my BMW's and what needs to be fixed. Also, getting tips on how I can keep my car out of the shop is always nice! I trust this shop over any dealer shop working on my car!

I had a wonderful experience at Autohaus Bayern! I came here as an out-of-state potential buyer of a BMW at a local dealership, wanting a pre-purchase inspection. The shop was very accommodating/flexible in schedule and were able to get the car right in for the inspection after I flew in and dropped it off. Their waiting room is setup for a comfortable work or hang-out environment with free wifi, couches, tables, recent (not old!) magazines, and a clean restroom.

Their inspection revealed some items of concern that the selling dealership's inspection did not catch, which allowed me to negotiate down on the price a little more. I am super stoked to have found Autohaus Bayern and would certainly return if I was in Portland and needed a service or repair!

I've been using Autohaus Bayern for all of my BMW service and repair needs since 2008. If you're looking for an honest, trustworthy, professional, friendly, and capable, place to bring your bimmer for routine maintenance or something more intensive, this is the place to go. And as long as George is still there, you know that it will be done properly and in a timely manner.

If you want to go pay 30-50% more, have technicians that you'll never see, with experience levels you'll never know, get pressured to do work that you don't need done, and deal with a service department that's treats you like a number, go to a dealer or some other place. Thanks Autohaus and George for over a decade of quality attention and care for the cars that I love.

I have been using this shop for 11 year for my BMW repairs. They have been professional, prompt, and very reasonable the entire time. They have helped me with error lights decoding. Each repair the look thru the entire car, brakes, etc for anything else that could need service. Their service technician George is friendly and experienced. He has been there a long time and I can count on him doing the job excellently.

They always have recommendations but NEVER push you to make them unless you confirm first. Their estimates are always spot on. They have worked on three different models I've owned overtime. They are fast and reliable and I would highly recommend them.

Darby and Richard were incredibly helpful, speedy, and reasonably priced. My recently-purchased 2009 MINI Clubman S started smoking on a Monday afternoon. I called first thing Tuesday; Darby said they probably couldn't work on it until Friday, but to bring it in anyway, just in case (and that I shouldn't drive it with an overheated engine anyway).

I didn't have to wait 2 minutes in their nicely furnished waiting area (free WIFI, kids place space, etc.) before I received a ride home from their staff. Darby called that evening with a diagnostic of the car and quoted me a price. When cross-referencing with the Internet, it was more than reasonable for the range of repairs on a euro/BMW turbo engine.

I was in my car and on my way midday on Thursday, a day earlier than expected. As a side note, I had initially planned to take my car to the MINI dealership, which is only a couple of miles from Autohaus Bayern. (Bayern is conveniently located near the slew of dealerships on Canyon road. I would use them in the future for a pre-purchase inspection.) The dealership wouldn't have been able to look at my car for more than a week and a half.

Since I wasn't under warranty, and this is my main mode of transportation, it did not seem worth it to stick with the dealership. Darby was great (read: patient, clear) about explaining the work done on the car, the general health of the motor, and what may have precipitated the problem. I felt like my service was not only efficient and reasonably priced, but that my euro car was in knowledgable hands. I don't think I will take her anywhere else from here on out.

These guys are awesome. They helped me keep my 1997 BMW 328is on the road for over the past three years, the last year which was tough because the car was showing its age. They always got the car done when promised and at the price quoted. I tried to get another BMW just so I could keep going there but now I moved to the east side and bought a ford, :- I tell all my friends with German cars to go there.

Blatantly Dishonest: Wanted to charge me over $800 for a new oxygen censor to handle the local ethanol and winter gas additives; went to the BMW dealer for a 2nd opinion and had my existing oxygen censor computer updated for $26.00; went back and confronted them and the arrogant response was ".well, BMW does'nt let us have access to their computer updates."; unbelievably dishonest.

Recently my 09 Jetta TDI was giving me some funky problems. I was trying to avoid the stealership and my normal shop told me they "couldn't read the car's computer." which struck me as odd. I called Autohaus Bayern and Darby urged me to come in directly after I got out of work as his shop was open till 6 that night. I rolled in around 5:30 and Darby took my Jetta in and ran all kinds of computer readings on it.

He was patient with me while I tried to explain the problems I was experiencing. He had me stand next to him while he walked me through the different computer screens & read through the readings the car's computer gave out. He had me drop off the car the next morning to be looked at more thoroughly. In the end, the problems had to be dealt with by the stealership (sad face) but Darby did not charge me at all for the time my car spent in his shop.

I received a more-than-thorough explanation for each issue and recommendation for exactly what I needed to tell the dealership in order to have the issues correctly addressed. I cannot thank Darby enough for this stellar service and treatment. I've never felt more comfortable at an auto shop. Amazing. Bravo. Thank you.

I don't know how ANYONE could have anything bad to say about these guys. This is to date the ONLY stand-up automative repair shop I've ever found. Most mechanics will lie to you and treat you like an idiot while they try to sell you on a bunch of things you don't need. Darby and the guys at Autohaus are as honest as they come. For once a good mechanic who doesn't try to sell you the entire time.

I took my BMW M3 here to have a new DME aligned with the EWS on my car. Darby talked shop with me (I'm a very knowledgeable DIY mechanic myself) for a good 30 minutes while one of the techs aligned the DME. They were done with it in around 40 minutes and they only charged me $50! On top of that they inspected my car for any issues and topped off all the low fluids.

I do most of my mechanic work myself but anything big I'll definitely be going to these guys for. I honestly can't even begin to say how refreshing it is to know that there are honest mechanics out there such as Darby. If the world had more guys like him mechanics wouldn't get such a bad rap. Anyways, I highly recommend these guys. The shop is clean as hell, they are super friendly, and they won't try to take you to the cleaners like so many mechanics out there! I love these guys!
