BMER TECH Automotive

I used to come here under the past owner. The new owners are terrific. This can be a hard place to find but it’s well worth it. Trustworthy, good people. Small family owned/​run business with a couple of mechanics. Louis’ is the owner. His wife, Shayna, who is also knowledgable about mechanics, runs the office. They were quick to stop what they were doing to help me find out what my cars problem was as soon as I drove up. The timing chain was making a horrible noise. Bad oil leak– gasket. And although he couldn’t get it fixed until later in the day he insisted on topping it up with the proper oil to protect the engine. No charge. He was happy to show me exactly what the problem was before doing any work.
Buying a gasket turned out to be a complicated thing. The Mazda dealer said they would have to buy the oil cooler unit with the gasket– a device that would cost hundreds of dollars especially for an outside shop. Louis said it would probably cost more for him to do the work than the dealer. After some contemplation on having the work done at the Mazda dealership that has a service department with a bad attitude (I do want to mention that their sales force are very nice)… I told Louis to go ahead and do the work, extra charges and all. The next day his wife called me to say they had found someone online who would sell just the gasket and would have it shipped overnight. Love that online research she did. The total cost was about $ 150 at BMER — a savings of $ 500+ over the Mazda dealership.
So, I have found a local shop that I can trust and won’t hose you down.
They are new and still getting a waiting area together but provide free WiFi. I didn’t mind.
