Bavarian Autohause

Never a fun thing having to get something repaired. It does make it a bit easier on the mind knowing you’re actually being taken care of at a price that’s a fraction of what the dealership will cost you.
Price matters, but so does quality of work. You’ll get a great combination of both here.
Upon arriving and walking in, you’ll be immediately greeted by an amazing manager. Including knowledgable staff. In times of waiting, you can always look at some of the great cars they have for sale as well! Will be back for anything I might need for my BMW!

Great service! They squeezed me in an emergency & called before doing anything to make sure the cost was okay :) I will definitely be going back here for any of my car needs!!!

I’ve never really dealt with them with financing or warranty. Although, I went in to test drive a Mercedes c300 and the service was outstanding. They were very polite and trusted us enough to test drive the car alone. When I came back, there was a customer ahead of us and they insisted we take the Mercedes for lunch and come back to try to work out a deal. They offer guaranteed financing and was overall a better experience than most other dealers.

A few comments regarding David M.‘s ‘review’ of Bavarian… First off I am somewhat baffled as to why his ‘review’ of Bavarian Autohouse is all about me, if he works there or is the owner Unilocal has a feature that allows him to respond to my review. Now to the issues I have with the review:
1. I was never informed of my ‘howling pump’ I was simply told the fluid levels were low.
2. The price I was quoted for «physically look at the inner workings of the transmission by removing the transmission oil pans and looking for improper oil level or possible broken parts in the transmission oil pans» was 656.97 THEN it was «corrected» to $ 762.97 after Greg got the ‘correct’ price for transmission fluid. I was NEVER told $ 714 ever, who knows maybe the $ 714 is another ‘corrected’ price change I was never informed of.
3. I have more than one issue with this statement «We did not want to tell customer they needed a transmision if we could repair it, after all MINI CVT transmissions are failing quite often.»
A. Bavarian never said they could repair the transmission only that they could find nothing wrong with it and suggest the $ 762.97 ‘solution’ which Greg himself said had a high probability of not solving the issue at all
B. The only other solution offered to me was a new transmission… So I was left with a $ 762 solution that per Bavarian probably wasn’t going to work or a $ 7,000 solution of a new transmission.
C. Again another thing never mention to me was the knowledge that Bavarian had of MINI CVT transmissions having a high failure rate… seems like a customer may appreciate that information.
At the end of the day I stand 100% behind my review. Also, one a side note I took my MINI that Saturday to Custom Mini Shop in Fresno and they solved my transmission problem in 30 mins for $ 35. The knowledge, friendliness and amazing customer service was an absolute breath of fresh air. I cannot express how highly I recommend Custom MINI Shop in Fresno for any MINI owner.

There aren’t many shops in the area that specialize in these cars (BMW, Mercedes Benz, and MINI Cooper,) not to mention that these are expensive cars that are highly engineered– finding a good mechanic can be tough.
Bavarian Autohause has THE BEST diagnostician in the world! Seriously, this guy is like the Dr. House of cars. Simply plugging in a car to a computer diagnostic tool doesn’t always tell you what (if anything) is wrong, but Matt is great at tracking down those mysterious things that don’t show up any other way.
This place isn’t cheap, and you might be able to find a lower quote at another shop, but other shops might only quote you for the lowest starting point to get you in the door or to try to lure you away from the competition. Next thing you know, you’re back in the shop with more problems (and more expenses.)
The mechanics at Bavarian genuinely care about the cars they work on and they take a lot of pride in their work.
Taking your car to the shop is never fun and car repair and maintenance is expensive– but I trust Bavarian Autohause to do a great job at an honest price.
