I have been going to Douglas for over ten years now. He is incredibly knowledgeable about German vehicles. In my case, he has worked numerous times on my Audi. I find he is very fair in pricing and the work he performs is excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending him. His shop is extremely busy but he always manages to fit my vehicle into the schedule. My only issue with the shop is that he moved from S. Stafford down to Fredericksburg/Spotsy a couple years ago. I have to drive 20 mins more to drop my vehicle off but the fact that I continue to do so should be indicative of how much I appreciate his work. read more

Warning!!!Took my AMG here for a several repairs, all of which turned out to be a nightmare, AC compressor sitting on the frame of which they installed, and would not repair. Benz found issue, now they wont refund me for repair of their horrible work. another time they did not repair what i asked them to, instead use money i authorized and did other work just to use up my money. then when i asked for the repairs to be made that I asked for, they charged me more money to make the same repairs it came in for. Beware, paid over 5k for shotty work, now paying Benz the same to rework Bavaria mistakes. read more

My sound amp was fried due to water damage in my trunk (2017 BMW 440xi). They fixed the flooding issue, and replaced the amp. Also, repaired the wire on my convertible top. Good job at a fair price. read more

Just discovered this place. Took my BMW there for some major work. Douglas is fantastic. He knows BMWs. He was very transparent about cost and was able to fix all the issues with my car. My BMW is running great now. I will be taking it here from now on. read more

It hard a good mechanic but this a great one. Your vehicle is in good hands and prices to make you not go back to the dealership

Probably the best mechanic I've been to in the 6 years I've owned my BMW. Their prices are more than fair, they get it done in a timely fashion and the best part is they communicate. Douglas is a super nice guy. You shouldn't have any issues here other than finding the place initially because it's tucked way in the back. read more

We are so glad we found Doug and his shop. I have a Volvo that was in need of maintenance and some other things going on. He was able to get to the root of things and then discovered a couple of other issues just starting. I have an extended warranty and they were difficult to reach. He worked with me to get their approval and was able to complete the repairs within 1 day. While he was replacing the water pump he replaced the main belt which was beginning to wear saving me tons in labor. I wont take my car anywhere else. Its running better then it ever has. His fees are more then fair and he doesn't make hypothetical guesses when it comes to what is going on with your car. I cant say enough great things about his shop! read more

I recently had my BMW inspected, serviced, and repaired at Bavaria Auto. What a great experience! The problem was localized fast and a complete explanation of the failure and corrective action required was given. Additionally, a few other issues were identified that were hindering my vehicle's overall peak performance. There was no pressure!!! The final price was more than fair and my car runs like new! I highly recommend Bavaria Auto Repair...Douglas and crew have a really good thing going on! Give them a try the next time you need repairs or service...I guarantee you'll leave very happy. read more

Brought my 2016 BMW X3 to this shop for a routine service. I asked manager to look at a potential issue brought to my attention by another auto shop. In essence, I needed a second opinion. This staff checked out my concern, actually showed me the potential issue, and deemed it a "non-issue" at this time. They were honest and not "looking for work", which is a refreshing change. I will continue to use this repair shop for my German auto needs. Highly recommended. read more

I took my 2006 Mercedes Benz S500 to Bavaria Auto for transmission service after shopping around for a decent trustworthy mechanic that will do a good job. I found it in Douglas the manager who not only took pictures of what was done but also saved me the old parts as confirmation. He explained everything in detail and showed me the faulty codes and compared their prices to the Mercedes Benz dealership. Although I paid more than what I original planned because of other faults that was found. Overall I am very pleased and I will highly recommend them for your German cars. read more

I don't have a BMW, but I brought my car here based on a recommendation. I got great service, and quality work! I will no longer be price gauged at the dealership. I recommend them to all my family and friends! read more

Based on the reviews, I was happy to give Bavaria Auto a try. I have to say, my experience was a little different from the other reviewers. On a positive note, I spoke with Douglas and he is clearly very knowledgeable about VWs - no doubt about that. Now the negative - I had two points of frustration. First was around the cost. The estimate I was given was between $400 and $450. My final bill was $628 (which included $20 of additives that Douglas suggested I buy). Needless to say, I was a little surprised by the significant difference in unexplained costs, especially since this was routine maintenance and I didn't need anything out of the ordinary. It was also annoying since this ended up not being much different from what the dealership quoted me. The other issue was that my car was leaking oil after the service. I will give Douglas credit for fixing this at no charge and for coming in on Saturday to take care of it for me. I was frustrated that I had to go back in to get this fixed, especially since the location isn't convenient. Would I go back? I guess I'd try other shops first and see what they're like. The oil leak makes me nervous about the quality of the work and so I wonder what else might not have been handled correctly. read more

I just moved to the area and needed repair for my BMW X3. Douglas was very knowledgeable and made time to fix my car on a Saturday due to my time constrants. He pointed out what needed to be done and saved the parts to show me why they needed to be replaced. He also took the time to clearly tell me what other issues needed to be fixed and why. This is my guy from here on out. Thanks so much Bavaria Auto. read more

I had a poor experience there at Douglas shop.took my vehicle there to check service soon light and get my leaking valve covers gaskets replace on my 2002 BMW X5 4.4 and it was there for one week I picked it up took it home two days after smoke started coming from Hood leaking oil down on the exhaust manifold and I took it back next couple days and he said he fix it again and then pick it up the next couple leaking again. after that the same problem valve cover still leaking and I don't know what the problem. I called him up and he said bring it back the third in the next two week I feel like it was poor service i paid him $1200 to perform the work and also he put me on the back burner and he didn't replace my valve covers gaskets with new ones because I brought my vehicle home and the original gaskets are still on the vehicle. I changed my mind about going back the third time because he couldn't fix it right twice my vehicle also the check engine light came on again I wasted time and money taking my vehicle there I miss my holiday traveling I was planning on going out of town with the vehicle but he had it for 2 weeks through the holidays and no vehicle so nothing got fix .that was my experience with Douglas not recommended read more
