    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.

    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!

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

    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!

    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!

    Where do I even begin? These Gentlemen were a God send!…read more So prior to contacting MPB for emergency work needed on my vehicle, I previously attempted to work with another repair shop regarding some emergency work that needed due to what I thought, was major damage to my car. Thinking what was provided at my initial diagnosis and what I was quoted, scared, stressed and worried is putting how I was feeling about my predicament, lightly. So, strapped for what I thought was going to be close to 5 grand (Yes, that's what the other shop quoted me) and a LONG list of work that was advised "Needed" to ensure my vehicle ran properly, I became worried that I wouldn't be able to drive my car. So, I searched for somewhere who could work with me in what I actually needed and came across MPB Auto Repair. I called and spoke with Tony (I'm sorry if I misspelled it!) and gave him the rundown. Tony was able to quote me and advised I bring my car in for diagnostics. Tony quoted me and said we could find ways to work together without over charging me and get me back on the road. So, I brought my car in and was able to quickly get a better diagnosis than what I was initially provided - My alignment was off and just needed to be fixed - and man, when some of these people say they worked quick? They're Quick! No BS. Transparent. Straight to the point and affordable work? I went from being stressed and panicked to happy and so relieved. I absolutely will be coming back for work in the future. They were also pretty easy to find and very very customer friendly. On a personal note, I hope you guys continue to have plenty of success in your business. Thank you for your humanity and willingness to help me get back on the road with my wallet intact.

The owner didn't mention ay additional charges. When I went to the shop , the owner told me I need to pay additional $40 dollars for oil recycling which is not mentioned on the groupon website. I told him I can accept the charge and I need the receipt with the $40 additional charge to follow up with groupon about it. The owner said I am not interested in the deal anymore and asked me to leave and get a refund from groupon. I also noticed the owner increased the break fluid flush price on groupon from $160 to $240 after I left the shop today. It's a really bad experience for customers that the owner can change his mind and reject the service. Update for owner's review below "a vehicle that is directly not covered in the advertisement" , groupon adversisement doesn't mention any special vehicle price. After the owner told me to charge additional $40, I was confused and later accepted the charge while telling him to get the receipt for reference then I can follow up with groupon. After that, the owner refused to do the service. I guess the owner don't want his practice to be exposed to groupon. The owner could have listed the additional charge on the groupon website in the beginning to let customers be clear about all the cost.

You can tell they've been doing this for a long time and actually care about their customers and their reputation. What stood out the most to me was how honest and straightforward they were. It's hard to find a mechanic you can trust, but this is definitely one of those places. If you need a smog check, repair, or even just an inspection, I would 100% recommend giving them a shot. I'll definitely be coming back here for anything I need moving forward.
