CBS (Condition Based Service) computes maintenance intervals based upon the specific manner in which each individual vehicle is driven. The CBS thus determines the current and future maintenance requirements. The BMW Inspection 1 Service is the smaller of the two inspection services recommended by BMW.
Interval - The mileage- or date-based requirement at which a maintenance service should be performed. Maintenance intervals vary by manufacturer, model and vehicle usage. Most automakers recommend a routine oil change every few thousand miles or several months. Check your owners manual for the correct maintenance intervals for your vehicle.

I went in with a flat tire and a tight timeline to get to my next meeting. The team quickly helped me like a NASCAR pit crew and sent me on my way. They were friendly and charged me a very reasonable rate. One of the best repair shop experiences I've ever had.

I have a classic Benz grey-market car (German spec) and no one could get it to run right. After years of frustration, someone recommended Dr. Auto Tech and he figured it out and got my 500sec running like it's supposed to! I would highly recommend anyone with Mercedes, BMW or Range Rover trust them to take the best care of your car and do it right. Honest and straightforward auto shops aren't easy to find, but Dr. Vasken has an awesome shop here in the South Bay.

My BMW came off warranty, so I took the opportunity to go to Dr Auto Tech for a service. They were very professional and fixed my issues with the car at minimal cost. They also took the time to examine the car and found a bad tire ( which they showed me so I could see the wear on it ). I can't imagine how the dealership let that get so bad, and was very grateful to Dr Auto Tech for raising it and fixing it. I will now be a loyal customer! Thank you!

Not often I give reviews but just came in to get a tire repaired. In and out in 10 minutes, friendly and not condescending and a reasonable 20 bucks to save on the cost of a new tire. Would definitely trust for more work.

I brought my car in from a friend recommendation and I was happy with the service. Good people and truly care for the outcome of your car.

I brought my Mercedes CLA250 in for way overdue service after my father recently brought in his Ranger Rover. What amazing and quick service. The owner Vasken and his son are fanastic. They replaced the oil, changed out the cabin filter, rotated the tires, repaired a broken driver side mirror, plus buffed out a few marks on the body. Quick and honest. The South Bay is lucky to have such a great family-run auto repair business. Highly recommend.

Where do I even begin!? Dr. Auto Tech and his team are THE BEST IN TOWN! I would never go anywhere else with my car. So reasonable, so helpful, so friendly-I can assure you that you will get a good laugh while you're there too. I always feel so good about bringing in my Audi Q5, everything gets done quickly, efficiently and honestly. Such an amazing group of people that run the place and I truly will never take my car anywhere else.10/10 customer service and 10/10 work. If you're going anywhere else- STOP- and go to Dr. Auto Tech. I promise you won't be disappointed! Highly HIGHLY recommend.

Dr. Auto Tech and his team have repaired my vehicles (Prius, and Audi Q5) for the last 5 years. They are simply the best! Honest, great service, easy to work with, and they do great work. Recently I knocked the side mirror off of my car and damaged the door just before I was supposed to go on a road trip. It was also on a weekend, when they were closing early but after I called they stayed open until I arrived and even dropped me off at a rental car office.

They were diligent about getting all of the parts in as fast as possible and even stayed open late to make sure to finish repairing the car before I was scheduled to leave. I am so appreciative of all of their hard work and getting me my car back before my trip. Even though I no longer live in Hermosa, as long as I am in the LA area I will always get any car repairs done here. Highly recommend!

When you have a nice car that requires attention, you need services.just like with lesser vehicles. But the industry of auto repair has made vulnerable consumers weak with worry, similar to dentist-anxiety. I have a new relationship with Dr Auto Tech, and there's no dental-anxiety if/ when I need further expert help. Sound advice with savvy insights into European models, it would appear. It feels like an actual doctor-patient interaction when Vasker has your car.

This auto shop is awesome, they figured out the issue with my car in 1 day after I took it to the dealership and 4 other shops. The whole team is great and they were on to of it and fixed the issue and saved me alot of money.

I saw this shop on my way to check out a used clk63 which drove great but wanted to check out the codes and undercarriage. I feel that they did a good job since they had a report showing me what fault codes came up. I would recommend anybody in the area to give them a shot

Dr. auto tech is a one stop shop car repair wizard. Between myself and my family we've taken BMWs, jeeps, Toyota's, and range rovers to his shop. His expertise crosses over all makes and models, although he is very impressive with foreign imports. We've been going here for years and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy and dependable mechanic.

From simple repairs to complex issues, he provides a thorough analysis and solutions forward. We've relied on Vaskan for anything car related and truly appreciate his services. I've even purchased a car from him as well and would recommend that as well! On top of all this, him and his family are very kind and welcoming people!

Friendly and reliable family run shop! Vasken takes pride in his work and treated my 99 BMW like it was his own. I will definitely choose to go back in the future for preventative maintenance and repair. Top notch!

Vasken is terrific! I've been going to him with various cars for many many years. He is honest and trustworthy. Now my kids are driving, I send them in with the car to get it serviced on their own because I know Vasken will take care of them and never take advantage, and even teach them a bit about cars. He is a great mechanic, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I recommend all to use this shop. Cars are so computerized, it is imperative to have a shop that is very honest, and very competent. I had an ABS alarm show for several months. Suddenly more alarms came it. I sat up an appointment for this repair and for routine service. They diagnosed this, and repaired with about $100 worth of sensors. A dishonest, or less competent shop could easily convince me that a $1000+ module failed.

I enjoy cars, so they showed me the computer print outs to help me understand. On their own they cleaned up several bumper blemishes. Nice to work with professionals who like their customers. I have used them for all maintenance since I purchased my CPO Mercedes in 2014 ----why drive to dealer, when you can support professionals in our neighborhood?

I just wanted to let the public know that this place is amazing. We broke down on our way down to the marina to go fishing and left our car in the Marina parking lot. AAA came down and towed us to Dr. auto Tech because this was the only place that would stay open and wait for us to get the car towed here. The people are very knowledgeable and super friendly and accommodating.

We did call a different auto place and they wanted to charge us quadruple what this place quoted us because they knew we were stuck but this place didn't do that. I would recommend this place to anyone anytime

I have been using Vasken at Dr Auto Tech for the last 2 years. Best service I have ever had at a car repair shop. They have serviced all three of our cars. Great pricing, great care, and great customer service. Would recommend for all high end cars. Thanks again!

Took my Mercedes 2017 E300 in for a service and had the best experience. Honest and trustworthy people that explained everything they needed to do to my vehicle and even showed me the old parts that they replaced. Will be back with my vehicle and recommending to my family and friends too!

Extremely knowledgeable and professional. They took great care in checking my 04 BMW that I've recently purchased to set a plan in correcting the issues in the car. Will be looking to the them to insure my car is always at 100 percent

Restored my faith in humanity. It was so relieving to find a person, place of business, let alone an auto mechanic whom operates on trust, goodwill and true knowledge. Vasken is a prince among men. An true expert when it comes to cars. He can smell what's wrong with a car. And he and his crew, his wife are the best of people. They've worked on my car, I've purchased a car from them.they are always fair, honest, fast, and amazing at what they do.

I wish every place or person I encountered in life was as brilliant and compassionate and fair as Vasken and his people are.they are amazing. I will forever take my cars there and would highly recommend everyone do the same. You will be in great hands and you will feel the same sense of relief I felt. If only they made bagels, knew about repairing knees, and made surfboards.all my needs would be met with 5 stars.

Vasken and his crew are great. I have had some amazing mechanics in the past, but his knowledge, genuine concern, and pricing are the best I've come across. I took my 1974 Series III Rover to have it serviced and it has never been serviced so thoroughly as it was with Vasken. It drives better than it ever has. This is the best customer service experience I've had in a while.

If you are driving in Los Angeles it is essential that you keep your car well maintained with regular service. I have relied on Dr. Auto Tech to keep my 15 year old car in great operating condition. I count on them to do both regular maintenance and also handle more complex issues that arise in older cars. I highly recommend Dr. Auto Tech for the: Quality of their work Cleanliness of the shop Honesty and good judgement on what to repair Most important to me, the confidence I have when I drive off that the car is in excellent shape. With gratitude for all you do to keep me in a safe and great performing car. Best, Fay
