I was referred by my friend who is a mechanic, Paul Adelman. Told me Bavarian BMW would be the best to take my mini cooper to have it looked at.
Great staff! Friendly and honest! Super fast work! Explained everything to a T. Will definitely be brining my mini back for any future issues. Thank you Bavarian BMW~

Scott Thomason

Matt and his team at North Bay Bavarian get my highest recommendation for professionalism, service, and quality of work. I purchased coilovers for my 1981 BMW E12 and was coming up short finding a shop that could install them. A friend recommended North Bay Bavarian and I was pleased to find out they were very experienced with older BMWs. They also had previous experience installing coilovers that required some fabrication. The installation was fast and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend North Bay Bavarian for all your BMW or euro car needs. New or vintage they do it all.

Ruth Hanson

The absolute best repair shop for my Mini Cooper.

Amanda Ford

Super efficient. Quick and easy online scheduling with lots of availability. We purchased a 2025 BMW from Carmax and wanted a second opinion on the inspection of the vehicle. The vehicle inspection appointment was fast and thorough. We are glad to report our new Beemer has a clean bill of health. We will be sure to return for routine maintenance.
