I went to BMW to get a diagnostic on a coolant system leak that my 2019 BMW 440i xDrive coupe had…read more BMW gave me a report of the parts needed for the repair and the key areas where they observed a leak. They stated that the leak was coming from the oil filter housing, heat management module, water pump, and connecting block and pipes. To get an improvement in the repair costs, I ordered my parts from FCP Euro and decided to let my trusted mechanic make the repairs. I didn't order the water pump at that time because it wasn't a priority leak. My mechanic let me know that some of the hoses were tight and he didn't want to risk creating a crack in the system due to the amount of torque needed to remove the hoses nor did he have a robust spare parts inventory. I took my car to Carolina Auto Sports to make the repairs based on their positive reviews. They conducted their own inspection and found that I did not need some of the BMW recommended parts I provided, therefore I returned some of the parts to FCP euro. They identified two additional parts that I needed that I did not have, so I authorized them to purchase those parts. After they completed my repair, I picked up my car and drove 5 mins up the road and got a message on my dashboard informing me that my engine was at risk of overheating due to a coolant leak. One of the clamps from the hoses they replaced was loose. They tightened the clamp and sent me on my way. Every morning after that repair, I would find coolant on the pavement beneath my car. They did multiple pressure tests while the car was hot and cold across multiple visits and used that method to declare that there was no leak in the coolant system, though I was observing visible leaks. I asked Dennis if this job was something that I needed to give to BMW because it was outside of their capability/experience, and he told me "No". Out of desperation and multiple chat GPT searches, I decided to have my trusted mechanic replace the water pump. I brought him up to speed on what I had been experiencing with Carolina Auto Sports. He informed me that the coolant leak test wouldn't reveal the leak at the water pump due to the pressure release/weep hole mechanism. This leak would only be revealed when the car is at rest and releases pressure. I informed the service advisor, Dennis, of this, and told me that that is correct, but they get so few B58 engines in that they may have forgotten about that. I still had leaks after my trusted mechanic replaced my water pump. Before taking my car back to Carolina Auto Sports I had two mechanic friends, of which is my aforementioned trusted mechanic, to inspect the source of the leak, and both discovered that it was coming from the oil filter housing area "as clear as day". My car is now with my trusted mechanic to complete the repair for the full coolant system. I do not recommend Carolina Auto Sport for repairs as they put their pride before the best interest of the customer as well as their repair recommendation before those of seasoned BMW certified mechanics that see these cars regularly. Had they replaced all of the parts that I initially provided, I would be past this issue.

One 300 and the other for HG 1200. Then they charged me an extra 300 bc "the bolts were broken off" (not by an owner of the car) Then turned around and said they charged me for other things along with it without updating the customer on needs or permission for additional work. The guy at the desk gave me a run around abt everything, and got a little aggressive that I was asking questions abt the charges. Not only that, they took the copies of the quotes out of my car. I wouldn't suggest them. I can't even leave an estimate on the seat without them throwing it away yet alone trust them with your car. I paid the 615 and notified them that my car had no leaks upon arrival and now has an oil leak. They said they looked and didn't see any leaks and it was from a previous car. As of 2 days of driving my car it HAS leaked and IS LEAKING. STILL!

Even on the most hectic of days, the front-desk staff always welcome you with a cheerful smile.

Charged me $255 for an oil change, the tire rotation was supposed to be free. When I picked up my truck, I realized that they did not rotate my tires. When I went back into the store, they told me that their lift broke and they were too busy to use a floor jack to jack up my truck to rotate the tires. When I asked them why they did not tell me that they could not rotate my tires they did not have a good answer. Beware, as most folks would not have even noticed that the tires were not rotated and you could be riding around on tires for 15K miles without rotating. Also, I decided to call an oil change place directly across the street and their cost was $150 for an oil change on my truck. No more Tuffy's for me!

Yes, they're expensive, but they're honest and they work with you, all the while getting the job done without having to go somewhere else to fix the initial problem. They've fixed my wheel bearings, catalytic converter and miscellaneous normal maintenance routines. They also provided me with an uber to and from my house at no cost at all, while my car was being worked on even if it was just an oil change; GREAT perk in my opinion. While I agree the pricing is very high, it is a corporate owned business and the workers can't do anything about that, but that doesn't mean their employees and mechanics don't care. This is probably the ONLY Tuffy I would take my car to, because they genuinely do care. Derrick especially, he has helped me since my very first day walking in and just trying to get by, as we all are trying to do. Keep it up y'all. And thank you guys so much for all you've done.
