Alfredo has been my GO TO person. He is the most knowledgeable person I know when it comes to my BMW. He has also saved me so much $$$. I have gone to him have a handful of times and has let me know about warranty’s that I had never knew about (the dealership did not even tell me about it) His honesty and knowledge is so refreshing, I don’t think I could ever find someone else like him to fix any of my cars!!!! Thank you Alfredo!!!

Installed new brake pads, rotors and sensor on my 2004 BMW 325i Sedan.  He also performed an overall inspection to determine if anything else is needed at this time.

Alfredo was very responsive with his communication by phone and text.  He’s extremely knowledgeable about BMW’s, very helpful, honest, patient and kind. His prices are great and I can’t imagine taking my BMW to anyone else.  He’s the best!

His honesty was epic as he could have had me bring it in, do a diagnostic on it, charge me and then tell me that the warranty is dealer only but as you hear he did not. So the catch here is that I live in Long Beach California and he is in San Marcos California over and hour, thirty away and when it’s time for non warranty service i.e. Brakes, tune ups general maintenance he is where I will go. Trust that he will take care of you and your car. Above 5 Star in my book.
