    X3 wheels and tires.
    Edgar M.

    I took my wife's 23 X3 M40i to get a new set of tires. Matt helped me out and the tires were installed same day. Tires and alignment were great. When we got home I began to wash the car and noticed some mounting/dismounting wheel damage on one wheel. I checked them all and one had what I would consider significant damage and the others had some damage that could be seen. The wheels are painted black so any small scratch or ding is noticeable since once the pain is gone the wheel is a different color beneath the paint. We were a bit upset about this since we really take care of the car and make sure not to curb rash the wheels. Next morning we drove the car back and I talked to Matt about it. I showed him and he immediately offered to make it right. We dropped off the car again and they sent out all 4 wheels to get repaired. We picked up the car and all was good. Mistakes happen and I completely understand that. How you right a wrong is what really matters. Matt handled the issue right away and made it right. That is good service. He even offered a free oil change on the car. Pretty darn satisfied with our visit.

    New tires for my car

    I visited the team to get my car tires replaced. High quality work by friendly staff at competitive prices. It is always easy to maintain my cars at North Bay Bavarian.

    Zak appreciated the service too!

    New to the area and took my 2008 BMW 528i in to swap out a faulty ignition coil and diagnose a significant power steering fluid leak. Matt and team completed the repairs on time and at quoted price. Unlike many other repair shops, they had several technicians at each of their bays which includes ~ 10 + bays...place is super clean, organized and welcoming. GREAT EXPERIENCE as they kept my Lucky BMW running great (183,000 Miles). Ron

    The NBB crew are as good as it gets. Incredible knowledge in all BMW's and they always go above and beyond to ensure everything is as it should be. They maintain a few cars for me but my pride and joy is my 1988 M3. You know this shop is the real deal if I trust them with my dream car. Thanks for always making sure my car is ready for our Sunday drives!

    I have been taking all 3 of our BMWs to NBB for years now, they take absolute care to address any concerns that I have, and thoroughly inspect each car to make sure they are reliable and safe. Matt, James and Brice are my main contacts and they always make our transactions pleasant ones and strive to keep costs down when possible. I always trust their recommendations and have never been disappointed. My last visit was unplanned, but was an urgent repair so I could take the M Roadster on set with me. They got it right in and finished with plenty of time for my car to have a major scene next to Nash Bridges "Cuda"! if it weren't for NBB, I would not have had a very awesome day, so big shout out to all Rick's guys!

    Post Alignment - toe, camber and caster adjusted to suit my personal needs. Drives great now!
    Edward C.

    First time customer visiting and using North Bay Bavarian as my shop for my 2022 M340i. I scheduled an alignment online using there website which easy to do, and was confirmed within 1 day. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Matt who was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Upon inspection, the experienced tech asked for my feedback on what sort of adjustments and driving I was expected to do and want out of the alignment. This is a critical step that most shops don't do and I highly value and appreciate North Bay Bavarian asking for my feedback and what I desire from the alignment. Great service, fair price and work done within 2 hours + had a wonderful conversation with Matt about the many many years of experience that North Bay Bavarian has on BMW's and road course racing. I'll be back again!

    BMW car check up.

I specifically asked if it would work, and Chris told me, "I don't see why not." Based on that conversation, I ordered the tires. I left my truck at the store all day, hoping to have them installed. Unfortunately, the tires arrived late, which I understand was outside the store's control. I made another appointment for the following day, drove back to the store, checked in, and waited about 25 minutes before being told the tires didn't meet the load requirements for my truck and they would not install them. To be fair, the staff did take the time to look into other tire sizes and brands and even contacted another store, but they were unable to find an acceptable alternative. My frustration isn't that they refused to install the tires if they didn't meet the proper specifications--that was the right decision. My frustration is that this should have been determined before the tires were ordered and before I made multiple trips to the store. A little more attention to detail on the front end would have saved everyone a lot of time and frustration. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, and based on what I experienced, I can't recommend the Cleveland Ave location.

    7:30 am on a Thursday in Santa Rosa…read more.. My truck broke down on the way to make a delivery... AAA towed it (and me) to Coogler's on a recommendation from a friend who knows these guys. Stressed? You know it! Concerned about the work that would be done and how long it would take and what it would cost? Absolutely! Who isn't stressed out when their car breaks down, and they're going to a new auto mechanic??? Greeting me in the lobby were three of the nicest guys who just got into work and were in a better mood than I was... Things were looking up already... Jeff was my repair coordinator, and he immediately put me at ease and let me know that they would do everything they could to get me back up and running ASAP. I quickly booked a rental truck and Ubered to the rental location to get it and bring it back to swap the goods and get back on track. One of the technicians (Scott maybe?) helped me make the swap (above and beyond? Yup!) Quick communication on Coogler's part with some texts and emails told me they had found the problem and were on the case. Estimated time to repair? End of today or tomorrow at the latest. That's fast, I thought... Good news too because I've got more deliveries coming up. 'Tis the season... Fast forward ~4 hours and I'm getting a call from Jeff telling me my truck was ready to pick up (pun intended). What?!?!?! 4 hours and it's done!!! Got back to the rental shop, got one of their guys to take me back to Coogler's, and was back in my truck at 1:30 pm. Since then, a couple of genuinely concerned calls and emails asking if everything is still going well with the truck. Normally, when I do business with someone, they only call to ask if we can do more business. This was actual follow-up and quite refreshing. Will I work with Coogler's again? You bet I will! And if you've been looking for a dependable auto mechanic who's going to do a good job of both fixing your car AND being pleasant to work with, you should too!

They said it was a coincidence that it just happened to happen !!!????? do you fall for that one? I don't think anybody would !!!These sensors have batteries and they go out, but the day after the service was done just too coincidence for me took over an hour and a half and $120 to replace the sensor Have you ever felt ripped off??!! That's how I'm feeling right now! I'm thinking they could at least not charge me the $50 labor? I mean I get it. It takes them five minutes to takeoff the tire and put the sensor in and put it back together, but I was there for well over an hour Also the guy that I talked to when I first walked in there said they didn't have any sensors and then the manager came out and said that they did so I'm just not filling the honesty here Guess I'm looking for a new local tire services for our four vehicles

My first thought was that it was a loose sound deadening pad in the tire because it was inconsistent. I went to a local small business tire shop in Novato and explained my problem. I asked them to dismount the tires and check the pad. Instead, they just balanced the tire and sent me on my way. Needless to say, the problem remained. Same story at another local tire shop. I made two visits and they still refused to dismount the tire and inspect it. Both places charged me for a balancing. Finally I took it to America's Tire. There, Kevin helped me out and immediately dismounted the tire and found the loose foam pad. He put it back together and balanced the tire. Problem solved! It was very frustrating not being heard by the other tire shops, but Kevin was familiar with the problem and helped me out. I truly appreciate a business that listens to their customers.

The pricing was significantly…read morecheaper than comparable places in Marin, which was a huge plus, and the shop itself is clean, organized, and easy to be in while you wait. When I arrived, they took my car right away since I had already prepaid and scheduled my appointment. Everything was done super fast, about 45 minutes total. Kevin was very helpful, and George at the front desk was especially kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming. You could tell he really knew his stuff and was happy to help. I drive a German car, and while I'm happy with the new tires and feel much safer driving now, the reason I'm not giving five stars is because when I left, one of my sensors was going off. Their system showed that I needed to drive for about 20 minutes for it to reset. I ended up setting a timer on my phone and driving around until it cleared, which it eventually did, but I was also running low on gas, so the whole thing was a bit stressful. Before leaving, I wanted to make sure the sensor was accurate, but it ended up being something I had to follow up on over the phone with Kevin later, which was fine, but when you're spending over $1,000, that's the kind of thing that would be nice to have double-checked before sending someone on their way. Especially with more particular cars like German vehicles that have lots of sensors. That said, I really appreciate that they offer free tire rotations every 5,000-7,000 miles, and the team works fast and efficiently. Overall, I'm happy with my tires and would come back. One small recommendation: one of the bathrooms had a broken sink, and there wasn't any hand sanitizer available. With so many people using the restroom, it would be great to have that fixed. All in all, a solid place with good pricing, friendly staff, and efficient service -- just a couple of details that could be improved.
