Parker, Jared, Amy and the guys have done fantastic work on my 2 Mini's - everyone who works there seems to be ex BMW or Mini mechanics so they really know their stuff. They're great to talk to about potential work / modifications . . and are generally just really nice people! I wish they could work on my Volvo too!! Most importantly, for me, I have confidence in their ability to both diagnose problems and then solve them - and the quality of work they do is second to none. Also, they won't bankrupt you like the BMW or Mini dealer will! I live down in Seattle now but still travel up to Snoho for them to do any work thats needed on my car. read more

If you have a BMW or a Mini this is simply the only place to go. Parker and Amy have an army of loyal followers which they have built solely on word of mouth. You will never find more knowledgeable, honest, hardworking people who are willing to give you a great price. The shop is classy and professional and the owners are focused on building long term relationships with their customers. read more

I had a Broad Stroke of genius (huzzah!) to take my grumpy old '87 735i to Parker. He's a Beemer whisperer and touched her in all the right ways. I'm proud of her again and I'm proud to recommend these guys for foreign auto repair, but they love BMWs. read more

As my X-3 28d was over the 50k miles marker and out of basic warranty I brought it to Broad Stroke when the check engine light came on. Chris, the technician diagnosed the issue as one or both of two problems to the diesel exhaust system then Amy, the service writer, contacted a former colleague at a BMW dealership elsewhere who indicated to her that the problem may be covered under an unpublished extended warranty. At that point the repair shop could have just fixed the vehicle and charged me for it and I never would have known the difference but instead they informed me of the possible warranty and suggested I take it to the dealership, which I did. BMW Seattle then fixed the problem under warranty at no charge to me (kudos to them too for squeezing me in and fixing it promptly). That kind of honesty, ethics and professionalism in any business is rare these days but Broad Stroke has earned a permanent customer from this as a result and hopefully more customers as a result of this review. These folks are all former employees at other BMW dealerships and really know their stuff! Thanks Broad Stroke! read more

Before taking my 2001 BMW to any shop I called every dealer\shop that works on BMW's to get pricing checked and checked reviews, online. I was told about a BMW auto repair shop off of Highway 9 in the Clearview area by 4 different people and thought that I would check it out. I couldn't have been more impressed after my first visit. All of the staff is very professional, knowledgeable and they had above and beyond the best PRICING!!! This is the ONLY place that I would take my car and have no need to look anywhere else. It is a great feeling trusting an auto repair shop as many don't do quality work or the pricing is outrageous. I would recommend this repair shop to anyone and everyone. Well worth the drive for all your BMW repairs. Great Job Broad Stroke!!!!! read more

Been bringing my car for years, always have had great honest service. They never try to up sale me only recommend what is needed. Friendly staff and open on Saturdays. Recommend to all BMW owners read more

This is only my second experience dealing with Broadstroke. So far, its been great! Amy and Wes are knowledgeable at explaining the needed repairs and the costs involved, and I am confident that the prices they charge are fair. I had my car towed to Broadstroke for an emergency repair. I am extremely appreciative of the effort they made to fit my repairs into their schedule! read more

Spent $2100 here on a repair to fix an oil leak and change plugs on a car I had just purchased, a 2001 BMW 740i with 108,000 miles on it. After paying the bill and driving home, the check engine light came on (less than 10 miles) I have a code reader at home, and the code was P0011, "Camshaft Position Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance, Bank 1". (aka code DME 033?) I called Broadstroke and sought advice. More to come if this post works I will fill in, but upshot is they wanted another $2980 to perform another repair to replace the vanos unit on bank 1. Car was running fine, no check engine light when brought to them. Again, more details to follow.... In a side note, another mechanic upon disassembly noted that the spark plug boots and wells had oil and sludge on/in them. This indicated that care had not been taken to clean the area with the replacement of the plugs. read more

ok our 2003 BMW 530i (milage @ 130k) this is a clean car. Took it in to have the problem looked into ( trouble shoot a problem ) with the engine missing and cutting out at low rpm after taking it to 2 other shops who just installed parts and never fixed the problem. After Broadstroke look it over for 3 hour their tech Chris walked into the lobby showing me clear oil in the DME computer and then gave me a list of $8500.00 in proposed repairs, but they fixed nothing after and the problem still remains. Ignition Coils, spark plugs, DMI, all (4) O2 sensors, throttle body and throttle sensor and additional components are new as replaced withing the part 2 weeks. All new OEM parts. I am a engineer and mechanic and I removed the cabin air filter covers and opened the cover sealing in the DME and all major electrical components, There was not a single sign of oil in the electrical harness, and connectors on any of the multiple modules, now any oil up the wiring harness or in the pan beneath the electrical components and housings. They pretty much outright lied and have a plan to set up clients and show them a DME or other components on the shelf to get you to spend more money for problems that did not exist. If you go there either you will get lied to, stolen from and your car will not be fixed, or if its a easy fix. But you will also get a list of pages of things to repair, there were numerous other item on the list the replace and those are not in need of repair either. This place talks big with we are all integrity and the best out there, be aware your wallet will empty fast and the problem will not be repaired, I cant believe I wrote a great review initially on their website only to do further investigation to find it was all a set up and lie and nothing was fixed. I come only believe they pray on those who know nothing about automobiles and they take major advantage of those victims. I can provide very close in photos and the labor estimates for those interested in knowing some truth about these guys. Parker the onwer call me back and said I was wrong, well then did not show me anything in the shop except when the tech Chris brought in the DME with a smear of oil in the connector location, there was not a drip of oil anywhere in any harness or electrical component. Watch out Parker you have a real sham going on. Your 100% review rating are only posted by you guys so one does not have a chance to change it once they find out its all a sham! read more

Parker recently worked on my e36 M3 and did a great job fixing the oil leak and some other things. He knows everything about BMWs and takes the time to explain what's wrong and how he will fix it. His prices are reasonable and he uses high quality parts and oils. He is well worth the drive to Everett for other BMW drivers!! Thanks. read more

Parker has a true passion for working on BMW's. You can trust him to do the work you want at a fair price, and the job will be done right!

I have having them do repairs on my car since they opened their doors. I have always found them fair to deal with. They are very honest with me and don't try to "sell me" on repairs that are not needed. They do make recommendations but there is never any pressure. read more

I will only bring my MINI to Broad Stroke. Everyone is very professional. They understand my needs and wants for my car. I know I can always trust my MINI will be taken care of right. Thank you for such great care. read more

I have taken my BMW to Broad Stroke Associates a couple of times so far. First time the problem was properly diagnosed and fixed. Second time it was just a vacuum hose which they fixed for free. Amy was nice and professional; keeping me informed through-out the process. read more

Broad Stroke Associates (BSA), specializing in BMW and MiniCooper is an amazing facility. I recently moved to the Snohomish area from Redmond, WA and was just a little hesitant to take my BMW Z-4 to a shop located in what looks a lot like "the back woods". You need to go to their shop and see for yourself. From the front desk to the mechanic these people are highly competent, BMW trained, extremely well equipped and very attentive. Their knowledge and attention to detail is incredible, far better than any BMW dealer or any other specialty shop I have ever gone to. When you take your car there your concerns about your car will be addressed very professionally but you will also receive a complete written analysis of all working parts of your car. This might even include videos helping to detail specific issues. In my case they indicated that there were 47 specific items that are working well and require no additional attention at this time. I've been to other shops that do this but the list is usually more like 6 or 8 items. Last, any car owner is concerned about the cost of service and repair. Having been to multiple BMW dealers as well as two private shops specializing in BMW I can report that Broad Stroke is the most capable and least expensive shop I have been to. I am a delighted customer. read more

I have been taking my M coupe to Parker and Amy since I bought it. No one else touches my baby. This is the only place to go for high levels of workmanship and very fair pricing. read more

I took my BMW in to get it inspected after purchasing in Oregon. Broad Stroke is a throw back to the honest shop with integrity. I waited the 3 hours at the shop for my inspection to get done and what I saw during that time left me speechless. I saw a women come in and say my service brakes light is on I need new brakes. The tech came back 20 minutes later and told her she didn't need new brakes a sensor had fallen off and they had a spare in the shop and replaced it. While I was waiting another women came in and said her convertible top had been broken since last August and decided to get it fixed. Again a tech came back in about 10 minutes and told her a safety lever had just been pulled to prevent the top from working and sent her on her way after showing her. Two examples of a honest shop with integrity that also Knows BMW's. My inspection was very detailed and they did a great job. Broad Stroke has earned a new loyal customer. read more
