I've been taking several BMWs here over the years since before Chad expanded his staff. Service is excellent and Chad is very knowledgeable and skilled, keeping up on his training and using BMW parts. I highly recommend this the shop and the prices are, of course, much more reasonable than the BMW service department! read more

Chad Kelly has worked on my previous Mercedes E500 and now my BMW 550. He is honest and open about the needs of my cars And always prioritized any repairs to accommodate time and budget. Will always use him for repairs and maintenance for my European vehicles. Great local Friendswood business! read more

Third Coast Bimmers - Auto Repair Near Me - Pearland, Texas

At first I felt very good about taking my BMW to Chad. He seemed to be very nice and has excellent reviews. He was able to diagnose the issues with my car quickly and seemed to be straightforward and honest. I felt good about finding someone who's shop prides itself on honesty and integrity. I still have a little more work I need to do on my car and planned on going to Third Coast Bimmers from now on. However, reading two negative reviews on yelp claiming that Chad is not as honest as he appears sparked my curiosity. I gathered the quotes Chad gave me and headed to TWO auto shops that specialize in German engineering. Both of these shops confirmed that the quotes Chad printed out for me were unusually high and way more than what they should be, including the quote for the alignment. They said they would charge half what Chad does (if not less), and can't understand why his quotes are so high. I then showed them the receipts from my past two jobs done by Chad and both were very surprised. I'm a bit disappointed that Chad knew my situation, being 17 and having to pay for these expensive repairs on my own. I know a little about cars, not a lot, and I definitely don't know how much jobs are supposed to cost. If these accusations are true, then Chad is very dishonest, and takes advantage of anyone who doesn't have extensive mechanical knowledge. After learning this information I will not be going back to Chad again. Disappointed in his character and moral integrity. read more

I'm very disappointed having to leave this review. I own a shop in Friendswood. Before I expanded into full auto repair we sent 3-4 foreign cars to Chad to diagnose and/or repair and when we do that we simply refer the customer to the shop instead of saying we can do the work and then outsource it and mark-up the repairs to our customer. Shortly after we expanded into full auto repair we had a Land Rover come in for transmission issues. Our diagnostics turned up a number of other issues including a large number of electrical codes and any of them or the other problems could have caused the transmission to work incorrectly. We didn't want to sell him a transmission repair until we got all the other "noise" out of the way or at least diagnosed and decided it was best to send it to Chad. Long story short, Chad didn't fix any of the other issues and, instead, sold the customer a transmission repair. The customer got the car back and still had the other issues (he called to let us know) including some shifting problems. The lack of professionalism, morals and character is astounding and disappointing all at the same time. When I expanded into full auto repair the first thing I did was to go to the shops that were sending me transmission work and I reassured them I would never try to steal a customer they had sent to me. We've had several sent to us that didn't end up being transmission issues and we always refer them back to the shop that sent them to us. It's the ONLY right thing to do. I'm really disappointed in you, Chad. I thought you seemed like a decent person but this tells me you put profits over doing what's right and that is a deal breaker for me. read more

I no longer agree with my previous post seems like every time I take my vehicle to Chad shortly afterwards something else needs to be repaired. The last time I got my car back from Chad it was running worst then it was when I took it to him. I believe he knows what he is doing but I no longer trust him as a honest mechanic. It saddens me to write this post because I really thought he was better than that. The point of using a specialized mechanic is to keep your car running as optimum as possible not to get ripped off. read more

I'm picky- very picky when it comes to who wrenches on my car. Chad has worked on my 2012 supercharged Jaguar a couple of times now and helped me diagnose an issue on my Z06. He's knowledgeable, polite and pays attention to detail. He does what he says he's going to when he says he's going to do it. He even called me a week afterwards to see how the car was running and make sure I was satisfied. I'll be using Chad whenever possible. I highly recommend giving him a shot if you have the chance. read more

Really liked Chad. Really informative, knowledgeable. Even thou is shop is in Pearland i would still want him to do my work on my M/3.But because he s in a high demanded couldn't schedule me until July.Even stated for him to keep me on his back schedule just in case someone changes there mind. Hopefully us wirk is just as good ,rock on Chad your the man read more

Chad is a honest mechanic. Quickly fixed a problem that another mechanic created in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. Highly recommend. read more

Chad and the crew litteraly saved me. I'm from Dallas and was in Friendswood on business. My BMW had a coolant system problem driving to work in the morning, potentially leaving me stranded in Houston with no car and no place to stay. Chad took incredible care of me, getting the parts in and service completed the same day, so I could get home to my family. I highly recommend them to any BMW owner in the area. read more

Chad worked on my BMW 328 convertible. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and reasonably priced. He took care of a major repair for me and helped me get an issue resolved with an extended warranty company. I will be bringing him my car the next time I need a repair. read more

Third Coast Bimmers : 5 * rating - 3 As : Awesome, Amazing, Admirable. I had the opportunity to have Chad service my "baby Benz" a couple of weeks ago. The whole process was totally awesome. After I left the car with Chad, he called me a short while later and explained to me what needed to be done and an estimate. He was very thorough and professional in his explanations to my husband and me. He told us when the car would be ready and he was very punctual. His service was simply excellent . We felt very comfortable with Chad. His prices were very competitive and reasonable. We couldn't ask for a better "expert" in European automobiles to take care of our car. From now on, Chad will be our "man" for both of our vehicles. A big "Thank you" to Chad. In sum: Facilities : Very nice, immaculate, very comfortable for customers to wait. Services : Excellent, top notch quality Prices : Very competitive and reasonable Chad : very knowledgeable, professional and personable NBT aka A Very Happy Customer read more

We use Third Coast Bimmers for all our BMW X5 needs. Chad is always there for us with an honest answer and a much better price than the dealer. read more
