In Santa Barbara, parked and waiting to be towed to "Little Car Shop".
Frank C.

I surfed the Internet and found Little Car Shop while on the road the day (9/24/17) I bought my 1987 BMW 535is. I was driving down from Morro Bay, Ca when I thought the car was shooting out a little white smoke. I got as far as Santa Barbara then had it towed all the way to San Diego! Thank god for AAA! Any how, I called "Jake" and told him my situation and towed it the next day to the shop. Tow truck got there before I did, Jake paid the tow truck $75; few miles over my allotted AAA miles. I appreciated that Jake took care of the fee on the spot. The car ended up fine had a compression test done with excellent numbers and about $2000 worth of suspension and engine maintenance. Jake and Peter are very knowledgeable and would recommend this shop. They are not cheap but can assure your car is well taken care of. They only use BMW or second best German parts (Lemforder) which I like. I did the math from my invoice and I believe they charge $120 an hour. I do shop around and research although I personally always never go cheap on my cars since my family and I ride in them. Would have given 5 stars but wish I could have saved a little more on the labor.

I have been taking my 1998 740i to Jake for 7 years. He is by far the best and most honest Mechanic I have ever done buisness with.

I would trust this shop to do my future repairs and any maintenance that is needed because i know i will get nothing but the best of the best service and repairs done on my vehicle.

I am telling all my friends and family to go here for their automotive repair needs. Thank again so very very much for the outstanding and worderful automotive service you provided with updates and pictures on the progress in the repairs.
