Air suspension issues are common in many Mercedes models. Symptoms include uneven ride height, suspension warning messages, and rough ride quality. Our technicians diagnose air leaks, replace components, and recalibrate the system.

Luis Gonzalez

Always an amazing experience. Went in to get an inspection for my 2011 BMW 328XI Touring, guys got me in and out with a full sheet of honest accurate repairs and gave me a really good estimate! Priced very fairly and the only BMW Repair Techs I will ever trust! They also have free (i think, i just kinda took them) Peanuts! (may not actually be free) I’ll be back soon!

Becky Cohen

We had a great experience with North Bay Bavarian with our Mini Cooper. We brought it in with a coolant leak and they were able to diagnose the problem while we waited. We picked it up the next morning and it’s running great, no problems. And they even washed my car for me before pickup. All in all, a very good experience and I would recommend this shop to other Mini owners.

Allison Bordessa

Since 2006 North Bay Bavarian has been our BMW service and repair shop. We absolutely LOVE this locally owned business and can’t recommend them highly enough. Do your wallet and your BM’r a favor and become a patron of North Bay Bavarian.

Amy Lee

I have a feisty little brat of a car, Fisker Karma and she decided to stop working at 1pm on a Friday. I had her towed there and the guys, out of curiosity and fantastic customer service, had her running by 3.30p. Not saying they can always be this quick, my car problem was a weird one and easy to fix but a potentially crappy weekend had the best outcome ever…and I found my geeky mechanic for life. Thanks guys, hope to not see you soon haha!

Doris Gerold

Xandr Motorsports

I’ve been coming here for years with all my BMWs, these guys know what they’re doing and they get it done fast. In my case, they installed my KW V1 coilover kit and custom steering wheel on my F32 in one day. The car handles and drives great, and special thanks to Brett, Bryce, and James.

Linda Mansell

am so grateful you were able to fit me in quickly for a scan when my "check engine" light came on. And fix it! Your whole team is so kind and friendly, even the waiting was enjoyable. well, maybe almost-enjoyable. Or how about "not so bad"?!

Brandon Krueger

I needed to get my 04 Z4 serviced after purchasing it last year from the original owner who took great care of it. North Bay Bavarian came highly recommended and certainly proved why. I was immediately impressed as a new customer. They are so knowledgeable, very thorough with their work and inspection process, and are nice too! I’ll be a repeat customer for sure.
