Consumer Comments for Bavarian Professionals

They handled my windshield replacement, advising on how to make sure the insurance paid for the OEM quality glass.

Consumer from ALBANY, CA

As soon as I was off the new car warranty, I began working with BavPro whom I consider my trusted partner in keeping my vehicle maintained. It's been over 20 years and my BMW is still a delight to drive, whether nasty urban driving or relaxed cruising on a highway. The BavPro team are terrific communicators and I appreciate their pragmatism as to when maintenance is needed and how it can be bundled with other work to minimize cost and downtime.

My BMW is 24 years old and running well. I've trusted BavPro for service ever since I was able to quit the dealership. They are a pleasure to work with; they listen well and will patiently respond at length to questions, will offer options and advise on when to complete certain maintenance. Their estimates are solid and they are quick to call if changes to be discussed.
