Ray helped save me a ton of money on my repairs and helped me keep my old klunker running, very professional.

Great people! Ray and them really helped me out. I was afraid I was gonna get a huge bill, and they gave me a tiny one. Didn't try to push on things that didn't need to be done. read more

Very pleased with this Auto shop. Fair estimates and fast service. Ray is knowledgeable and gives solid advice. Good little hidden gem.

I have 2008 335 that Rey and team have worked on for years. Very responsive and reasonable price for BMW repairs. They know what they are doing and their repairs are done right. I highly recommend their service for your BMW read more

Given the number of cars that were there, it seems the secret about this shop is already out. If you have a BMW, stop looking for a shop and just use Munich Auto. You'll be glad you did. Ray was able to get me in and out in under an hour. Very knowledgable and very reasonably priced. I will be taking my BMW here for service for the foreseeable future. It's great to find a shop you can trust. read more

I've never had a shop call me back after asking for a quote with a less expensive solution, but Ray did just that. They did good work on my 530i a couple years ago when it needed a clutch, so I called them. Ray gave me a good price quote on my M5's starter replacement, but more importantly a lot of useful advice for troubleshooting it to avoid an expensive and difficult job. Great people at Munich Auto. read more

This place is awful! A bunch of squares running this place........no clue about performance or any aftermarket modifications.........been a few times and so unsatisfied with the work and customer service! There are so many better BMW service spots in Austin read more

These guys are great. They recommend a JB4 tune kit to give my 435i some more power. They're fair priced, honest and competent. What more do you need? read more

Had to stop by for an emergency issue with my car and got fast appointment and honest feedback. I was coming from out of town and appreciated the fast turnaround with my issue. Will definitely trust this place for addressing future car problems/issue when I'm back in Austin. Thank you! read more

I had been trying to resolve a secondary air pump error on my BMW 325i for 3 weeks. After replacing most of the components, I still couldn't get it to turn on when it was supposed to. I took it to Ray (owner), and explained what all I've done, and asked about resolving some other sensor issues. he was understanding, checked my work and found a fuse that was not correctly positioned. He also advised me on the other sensor problems, other services needed, and was understanding when I turned them down since I do some of the work myself. He told me they ran diagnostics and it fired right up. What I liked was how helpful they were and were able to get me back on the road the same morning. I'm bringing my other BMW here from now on. Thanks Ray! read more

Great first impression after coming in for an oil change on my Z4. Fast and efficient and they even reset the tire pressure monitoring light on my dash! Look forward to using them again. read more

I normally do most work on my car myself, but after moving into a condo this is no longer allowed. I wanted to find a shop that would work on my e46 M3 the way I do as a very picky person. Saw the great reviews here, so thought I would give it a shot and I was not disappointed. I had done the initial diagnostic for my car, so knew what was wrong and was able to order the part in advance. I called to see when I could get an appointment for the work, and to my pleasant surprise they had me bring it in the next morning. I dropped off the car and was told it would only take about 2 hours to complete, which was exactly what it would have been if I had done the work myself. Once the work was done I was very pleased with the work done. Not only did they perform the work I needed, but did a full diagnostic to be sure there were not any additional faults. Than cam the bill, and again I was pleasantly suppresses at just how reasonable it was. The same work at the dealer would have been 3x more. The team there is also very knowledgeable and I learned a few thing I didn't know about my car. This will be my go to place from now on read more

Munich Auto - Great work on my car - Auto Repair Near Me - Austin, Texas

All the other reviews are 1000% accurate. Plus this: When I bought my BMW,I went mechanic shopping.This shop is the best! The other non dealer shops like Munich are way too expensive or as expensive as the dealership. And never go to the dealer.We all know that. Most of the other shops do not have a master tech as the service adviser, who is also the owner that picks up the phone, like when you call Munich. Those others have a service adviser and not an actual mechanic.This is a huge difference in many ways. Knowledge about the issue you are having, when the car will be ready and the cost of the repair. Ray is a get the job done with no BS along the way. A genuine guy that can be trusted. Literally do not go anywhere else than here ! I did the work and vetted all the other shops, well most ! Munich Auto simply has the best business model for BMW owners! read more

My BMW 3-series had a yellow brake warning light mysteriously show up on the dash. Concerned, I called the dealership who informed me that this probably meant my brakes & routers need to be replaced. I was given a price quote on the phone and immediately went into sticker shock. I checked Yelp and contacted several auto repair shops to get other quotes. I spoke with several unfriendly people who gruffly told me they wouldn't be able to give me a quote on brakes unless I brought the car down to them in person. While I understand why that would be important for an undiagnosed problem, in this case, it should've been really straightforward for them to give me a quote. Then I called Munich Auto and spoke to Ray. He was friendly and very helpful. His quote was 25-30% less than the dealership quote but I got a really good feeling about him. I scheduled an appointment for the next day (a Saturday, no less!) and showed up on time. Ray took a look at the vehicle, explained the mechanics and told me I still had 8,000 miles to go before I had to get the brakes replaced. His honesty really dispelled any fears I had about auto mechanics being shady and trying to charge you for things that don't need to be replaced. He gave me back my keys and sent me on my merry way. You can bet that once those 8,000 miles are up, I'm coming in to Munich Auto for my brake job! read more

I have a 2007 BMW x3. I have been shopping around for a dedicated independent garage that specialized in BMW's and Ray and his team have been excellent to work with. Going forward I will bring my car nowhere else but to Munich Auto for all repairs and maintenance for my vehicle. I came to Munich Auto two month ago to to help me with replacing a leaking valve cover gasket about two months ago. Ray and his team took care of the problem right away and with excellent turn around time and service. I have a great experience there. The pricing was great and the service better. A few weeks later, I had a persistent issue with a leaking washer fluid reservoir and a light saying I had a light out. I stopped by un announced and Ray took care of both issues straight away, and wouldn't take payment. The failed light code persisted, and i dropped by unannounced again, and he took care of me again, straight away. He wouldn't take payment until I forced it on him. No I have no warning lights and the car is running perfect. I am not advocating just dropping buy on them but the service is excellent. They know their BMW's VERY WELL. Ray is a Master BMW mechanic with dozens of years of experience. He and his team are the only ones that are going to work on my car going forward. Great Service, Great Expertise and Great Prices! I HIGHLY Recommend him and his team for any and all BMW work. You will not be disappointed. read more

They only do Minis and BMWs, so if you don't have one, this is not the shop for you; however, if you do, they should be your go to mechanics. Went in to get an oil change, a fuse replaced on my cigarette lighter (relax, it's to charge my ipod), and have one of those warning lights looked at. I spoke to the owner on the phone, made a morning appointment with an estimated time of 45 minutes - he was there when I got there and the car was done when he said it would be. No up-sell, no random fake problems, no BS. The shop is small and the staff is limited. I see this as a bonus, because they do everything by appointment and stick to a schedule. Prices are as reasonable as they come (it's a BMW y'all, not a weed-eater). There are two men who work there, both worked at a BMW dealership at some point in their careers, and one is a certified master BMW mechanic. read more

A European car shop I really trust my car with. I wish I could find a place like this where I stay when I'm not in Austin. One day my starting motor broke down and got it towed there when it was closed. They called me right away the next morning and got the job done in a day . Since then they've been my go to for diagnostic and repairs. I was out of town in Houston and got an oil change recently. The mechanic there "recommended" a few costly repairs. Called Munich Auto and asked if I needed to get it done right away and they didn't hesitate answering my questions. Very friendly customer service. Not a place that will try to upsale. read more

These guys are totally awesome, somewhat of a rarity in the car repair business. They go above and beyond to make sure that the job is done not only correctly, but to the highest possible standard. They also have the knowledge and training to back that up. The estimate that I was given was fair and accurate. The job was done when promised and they followed up later to make sure everything was still ok. read more

One of the best kept secret in Austin. Outstanding service, fast, and affordable. Ray was willing to worked w us and help the best recommendations for my X5. Cant wait to tell all my friends about this place. Finally a mechanic we can trust. read more

We were visiting Austin on a Sunday to drop off my 2011 BMW to my son when a "Drivetrain Malfunction" light appeared and the car automatically reduced power to a maximum of 40 mph. Having no experience in the Austin area and not wanting to spend the $$$ at a dealership, I checked Yelp for a local repair shop and fortunately for us Munich Auto came up as a location near us. We dropped the car off on Sunday afternoon and left the keys in a drop box. Called Chris on Monday morning at 8:00 AM and he called back within the hour with the (very reasonable) estimate. The car was repaired by 11:00 AM and we were on our way. Munich Auto turned a potentially upsetting situation into a positive experience. We could not have been happier with the service. read more

Always a pleasure dealing with ray service is great!! And makes it comfortable while waiting for a quick service I'm very particular about who i allow to work on my car! These guys I will recommend to anyone with bimmer read more

Munich Auto - Free coffee!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was incredibly impressed by Munich Auto. I called for some issues I was having with a 535i and Chrjs told me to bring the car in the next morning, which was already a plus given I was quoted anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks at any other shop. The basis of my review, however, is the efficient service I received when getting to Munich Auto, I was in and out within an hour and at no point felt that I was being sold on extra services or unnecessary maintenance which I feel is something I have experienced in almost all of my previous mechanic experiences. It was clear to me that these guys are honest and price things fairly and reasonably without all the extra fluff. If you are having issues with you car or are looking for a solid mechanic look no further, Munich auto will take care of you! read more

I moved to Austin a few years ago and this is the place I trust for my BMW repairs and maintenance. Great work, quick turnaround, and reasonable prices. read more

Real good guys. If you are having problems with your BMW don't bother taking it anywhere else, just go straight here. I would recommend this place to all my friends. I would recommend it over the dealership (I have never been but know what kinda prices they have) and over any other BMW/German/European specific shop (I have been to a few). The owner/manager (not sure but his name was Ray) was very honest, straightforward, and knowledgeable. What more could you ask for??? read more

First experience with a BMW repair outside the dealer. Ray and Munich Auto were awesome! Coming off warranty didn't know what to expect but a great experience and got me on my way quickly. Would definitely recommend. read more

I must say, I'm impressed!!! I came in after trying to find someone who, just does good work. I honestly have to admit, I didn't think I would not only get someone who does quality work, but I got it at an awesome price. Much love to these guys, they know how to provide quality customer service. Chris was also quick to let me know when everything would be ready also. I just can't say enough about these gentlemen. Thanks for a great experience. read more

Sometimes your car will just break down, with little or no advance notice. Last Friday night I experienced just that. Ray not only took my call, but suggested a towing company and took care of my car as if I were part of his family. Honest, hard working and excellent mechanic. Thank you!! read more

These guys are amazing, its the only place in austin I trust to work on my car. They never try to sell you stuff you don't need, are totally honest and do great work. Always satisfied! read more

Took my X3 over there just cause of the engine ck light was on , found out it was nothing really and Chris ckd it and reset the warning light said keep on driving and let us know if it acts up. Read the great reviews and can tell these guys are not shysters. read more

The water pump on my 335 died suddenly, disabling my 335 on the highway. It was 2 pm on a Friday before a tow truck arrived. I feared that I'd be car-less over the weekend. After all, who's going to replace a water pump before every shop closes at 5 or 6 pm? Well, I got my car to Munich Auto by 2:30 pm and it was repaired by 4:45 pm. And, the repair cost hundreds less than the stealership would've charged (and they wouldn't have even gotten to my car until Monday or Tuesday). I will DEFINITELY be back to Munich Auto. These guys are fast, friendly, and honest. read more

Just wanted to say how impressed we are with Munic Auto. I have found my new auto mechanic shop. Great job. Alex was clear in explaining all the work to be done and worked with me to come up with a plan to fix what was needed immediately and to schedule follow up work to be done the following month. The car is running great. We couldn't be more pleased. read more

Incredible work and customer service. I'm really picky about who gets on my car and Ray is awesome. I've had my spark plugs changed, an oil change, and a fuel line repair with Ray. Prices were great and he takes time to show you what's going on with your car. Easy to schedule during the week and his shop is clean. You can always tell a lot by a mechanics workspace and his looks great. If you're up north and need an alternative to the dealership, give Ray a call. read more

On my way to lunch and boom.....the dreaded service engine soon light followed by violent shaking in the engine bay. I drive through town in limp mode only to find that I had a misfiring issue in 2 cylinders. Did my research to avoid going to the stealership and chose Munich Auto due to the good reviews. Not only were they able to squeeze my car in while they were swamped, they had it turned around in few hours. I brought it back the following week so they could fix the suspension issue they also had found while diagnosing. I must say they provided very good service and a friendly attitude. I recommend these guy's to any Bimmer drivers out there, especially if your car is out of warranty. Good Work Ray and Bono! read more

This is the only shop that I'll trust with my BMW. I know that I can trust what they tell me I need done to my cars. Highly recommend.

Super nice guys, I showed up at 8am and was out by 9am and only spent a couple hundred $. Not half as expensive as I thought it would be. Great service! I highly recommend! read more

The guys at Munich Auto were incredible! They looked at my BMW 528i right away. I had been to the dealership and had a heart attack at the estimate. Ray called me back with my panicked call when an engine light came on and car was shaking on a Sunday. They put two people on it, fixed what needed to be fixed and did it same day. They will be my mechanic going forward and I highly recommend them. read more

Amazing service.. The best out of all the indy shops I have ever been to in price and service. You can tell Ray really loves what he does and knows just about everything there is to know about BMWs. Like others have said he explains all the options and pricing. As crazy as it sounds I find some places don't really give you options it kinda like you drop it off here is your price and thats it. But with ray you can talk about using different parts and he will tell you straight up tell you if it is a good or bad idea. I suppose I am some what of a picky person when it comes to that stuff as I like to research and pick out all my parts. Anyway amazing place.. will be my new indy shop!!! read more

My service light was on...and when your car has over 80K miles you always fear the worse... I called Munich Auto and talked with Chris. He was very kind and had many avaibility to see my car. I dropped it off one morning and their owner even gave me a ride to my work that was 3 miles away! Later on the day Chris called me with some good news, my car just needed an oil changed. I am sure they could have found or charged me for a lot more...they didn't. I am so happy I have found Munich Auto. I will be back for sure, and will always feel very confident and you should too! read more

Ray at Munich Auto is awesome. The service we received was top notch and reasonably priced. I will definitely bring my Z4 here for all service in the future! read more

Amazing, work from Ray Burkart, my X5 is in good hands.. Thank U... read more
