Allroad Motorsports - BMW - Auto Repair Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Jim is the best. I've been going to him for years for a Volkswagen Jetta TDI and Jim's always been honest. He never tries to sell us stuff we don't need or say that a repair is necessary when we don't need it. He gets repairs done promptly once the car has been brought in and his estimates of when he'll finish repairs are accurate or sooner than expected. One person said he didn't communicate well, but while he is a quiet person, I've never had any problems with calling him and getting an immediate response. Update 11/30/2018: I had Jim fix some electric issues in the vehicle like a non-functioning release of the trunk. He also made some major repairs to the vehicle, such as replacing our broken turbo charger. Again, Jim was honest and provided affordable service. I emphasize this because in my experience, it's really hard to find an honest mechanics in general and especially one that can work on diesel vehicles. Just some advice for people who are new to Allroad Motorsports: The best time to call Jim is between 8am and 4pm during weekdays. Usually you get a busy signal outside of those hours or on holidays. And make sure to let the phone ring for a while because he's likely in the shop working on cars and needs a moment to get to the phone. read more

Excellent mechanic. No nonsense and fair prices. His communication isn't always perfect, but as long as you follow up with him it's no problem. Highly recommended. read more

I needed to trust Jim to inspect a Porsche for me - as a distant prospective buyer. In these situations, you always hope the shop is independent and high-integrity, as the seller is there and I'm only a voice on the phone. Well, Jim came through as a knowledgeable, thorough and credible inspector. Very pleased with Jim and recommend him as a sold, reliable resource. read more

Jim is a "motorhead angel" on earth. I try not to tell too many people about him but I can't help myself. The word gets out and he is ALWAYS busy. It is certainly worth the wait and peace of mind of being treated fairly. read more

My mechanic for half a decade. Jim is a true professional who does quality work. I took my VW Cabriolet as as well as my BMW here, and was always satisfied with his communication, service, and the little extras he helped with. It is obvious that he does this work out of passion. As a younger, single women, I have had some negative experiences with mechanics and auto service centers here in Bloomington, and Allroad was a breath of fresh air. Totally comfortable, upfront and respectful. I will be moving soon and can only hope I will find a mechanic half as trusty, dependable, and cool in my new city. I highly recommend! read more

I have been using Jim for about 10 years now. He first took care of my BMW and now my Audi. He has always helped me out with any questions I may have. Including the ones that I was going to fix my own car. He one time let me borrow a specialty tool to fix my car. Very honest and best prices in town. The bad review, he checked the mechanical issues on that PPI. It is your responsibility to have pics sent of any damage to the body. Go back home and stay there. read more

Jim is a great mechanic. Only thing that can be improved is communication during the repair process, especially if repairs take longer than originally promised read more

I was referred to Allroad by a fellow BMW enthusiast and they came with very high recommendations. Unfortunately in this case they did not live up to those standards. I trusted allroad to do a PPI for me as I was going to purchase a car from out of state. I scheduled the PPI, but whoever talked to me on the phone seemed like he wasn't really interested in my business. I tried to find out how detailed the PPI would be, asking specifically about checking for signs of prior accidents, modifications, general condition of car, and so on. I was assured the PPI would be thorough and done well. The day of the PPI I tried to call over a dozen times and never got an answer, from 9am until 4 pm. Finally at 5 he answered, said "yeah car looks good. Just a leaking valve cover gasket. " I pressed him for more info but he just said everything is good. I asked if he drove the car he said no he didn't get a chance to. I should have seen that as a warning sign but alas Based on a clean bill of health, except for a leaky valve cover gasket, I flew over 600 miles to get the car. Guess what the PPI didn't tell me about? - Several dents over the passenger window, the largest being about 4" across. VERY obvious, impossible to miss - Broken buttons (obviously broken off) for EDC and Traction control in the center console. Like, the buttons weren't even on console it was just the plastic tabs underneath. - No pedal cover on clutch pedal, making it very slippery - Rock chips everywhere and tons of scratches and swirls in the paint (I specifically asked about condition of paint) - Big chip in windshield But all those are relatively minor and maybe even forgivable, even though anyone doing a decent PPI should disclose those issues. Here's the real kicker: - half the front bumper was resprayed, the panels didn't align, and one of the headlights was newer than the other one - all showing a very obvious sign of a prior accident (car has clean carfax). If my untrained eye can see it, a professional should be able to see it easily as well. I had to pass on the car, and I could have saved myself hundreds of dollars, 12 hours, and a vacation day, if only allroad took the time to actually inspect the car they were paid to inspect. He didn't even test drive the car!!!! Really disappointed. read more

I took my VW Passat in to get Valve cover gaskets replaced and fix an engine code. He also diagnosed a front axle problem and checked and replaced my brake pads as they were worn. He always does great work and doesn't charge too much. If something isn't done right, he'll take ownership of it and fix it again with no charge. He's one of the few good mechanics left. read more

Quality work at honest and fair prices. We have been taking our cars (Volvo and VW) to Jim for years now. Highly recommend.

Save yourself the time and trouble and take your import to Allroad Motorsports. You won't regret it! I have owned 3 classic Saab 900's over the last 25 years and have done many repairs myself as well as used the services of a few independent repair shops. Jim, the owner of Allroad Motorsports is as good as they come. I found his repair pricing to be great and his honesty refreshing. The quality of the repair work was excellent. Bloomington is lucky to have Allroad Motorsports. read more

My lady friend went to Allroad twice...both times she received excellent service at a very reasonable price....This guy Jim is very fair and seems to do a great job. She will not bring her car anywhere else. read more

Since I started taking my car to Jim last year, he has never charged me more than $220 and every single time I've taken it in with at least three things wrong. He's fixing it right now and had an oil leak, an oil light, and a check engine light to fix and it's going to cost me $60. Last time I took it in, it was for the same issue it had had previously plus a new one -- he fixed both for free. So if you're like me and you love the way VWs drive and look and feel but hate paying a fortune for every tiny thing that inevitably goes wrong, take it to Jim and stop kicking yourself for not trading it in on something boring and ugly. He's great with Audis too! read more

Although I do now know the owner (as a customer for eight months), I wanted to say: If you have a German car - you will love this place. Best service and great prices. Fast repairs. No surprises. You will appreciate the level of integrity here. read more
