    Awesome service. Friendly people there…read more Worth the drive from Fall River. Having a shuttle service is a huge benefit even though we didn't need it.

    I took my BMW to Yuilles for service under warranty a short time after I purchased it. The car had…read morean exhaust leak near the front that I expected to be coming from the manifold connection and a CEL light which indicated that I needed new Vanos Solenoids, which I supplied. I dropped it off and told them what it needed expecting to get it back that afternoon. I was called to say "There are no exhaust leaks, exhaust looks great and we installed the solenoids but nothing has changed so we want to keep the car and run more diagnostics". they kept the vehicle for the entire week and were essentially doing what a DIY mechanic might do, ordering parts to test, returning them and trying other parts. at the end of the week I was told "It looks like you're probably going to need a new engine, yeah sorry for the bad news and it's not cheap, probably $10,000 to $14,000 if we can even find one." I was devastated as I'd only driven the car 1000km or so and paid $14,000 for it. I said I wanted it for the weekend and picked it up. I decided I should put it on ramps and have a look at the exhaust and the leak was VERY OBVIOUS, so I bought the two small gaskets, new bolts and did the repair myself. I had a look at the Vanos solenoids they installed (very easy job, 2 bolts, 2-plugs) and noticed they'd reversed the electrical lines making the computer believe the intake was the exhaust and vice versa, so I swapped them back to the correct position and voila, all problems gone and the car was back to perfect. I went back to tell them how disappointed I was and that I'd not be paying a nickel for their "diagnostics" as the car should have been fixed in only a few hours. So why did they do this, either the worst mechanic in the world or a criminal mechanic looking to buy my car for parts pricing. I would never allow anyone I know to use this service centre and I will certainly never return. On top of it all, 6-weeks later when I changed over to my winter tires I noticed they were totally destroyed. I had only put about 4-5000km on the brand new Pirelli's that came with it so I was shocked.. then I noticed they were Michelin's on my rims. Unbelievable really. Does someone there have a vendetta against me or is this business as usual.. I don't know, but stay away if you own a BMW, or any car for that matter.
