So I did some research looking for a good place to bring my car besides the dealer. I had been told about this place and of course read the reviews and they were absolutely all correct! I took my car here to have a full diagnosis to see what repairs were needed. Emma went through each report with me of the things that stood out the most! She was super sweet and took the time to explain things to me. That is always appreciated and I will definitely be returning to these guys to take care of my car! Thank you Autobahn!

I've known Bill, one of the mechanics at Autobahn, for a long time. He's a great guy, friendly and very knowledgeable. He took care of some issues with my car that required some ingenuity, as well as, performing general service. He's not above explaining things to you in detail, if you so request. Emma, at the front desk, is a pleasant, multi-tasking, breath of fresh air on the telephone and in person.

I came in with a broken A/C Compressor on my E60 5 series. They completely replaced it at a fair price and in a timely manner. I just wanted to get it running and that was exactly what I got, no pressure for other repairs I didn't need. Definitely will return if I have any more issues.

Excellent service center. BMW San Antonio performed an oil change on our 335i and during the inspection they recommended a radiator flush. Didn't have time that day so I made arrangements directly with Autobaun to perform the radiator flush. When I arrived the technician asked me to look under the hood with him. The radiator cap was laying on the housing and antifreeze was everywhere. Fortunately the car had not been driven very far. I trust Autobaun, they are professional and offer very competitive pricing.
