Autobahn Motorsport Haus

I had a laundry list of repairs on my E60 528i. Mel was able to work with me and get everything fixed up for a very fair price, with great customer service and quick turnaround time. I’ve find my new BMW guy!

First time working with Mel, found him on Unilocal.Very responsive to my inquiry through Unilocal and was able to give me a quote on email which was very convenient! Was able to get me in right away and did the work fast. Also gave me a discount on the pricing which was very appreciated! I will definitely have him work on my BMW again. Thanks Mel!

I dropped off my 2004 330i to get some work done and couldn’t be happier with Mel’s work. I also like how I could email for a quote instead of having to call or drive there (however I knew what needed to be done so no diagnostics were needed so keep that in mind).
Normally I would fix my own car but seeing as I needed a small list of work done I opted to take it to a professional to save time. The brake and clutch fluid was flushed, front pads and rotors changed, transmission fluid changed, and my spark plugs replaced. Car is exactly exactly as I had expected with a firmer brake and clutch pedal, smoother engine, and effortless shifts.
Mel keeps in great communication and will call you when he finds something else that needs to be fixed. I did not realize my front rotors had formed a lip but Mel called me and checked if I wanted them replaced.
I dropped my car off in the morning and it was ready the same day in the afternoon. I would not hesitate to come back!

Took my 2012 535 to Mel after reading Unilocal reviews. He responded to my appointment request and provided an estimate within 30 minutes and was able to accommodate my requested service time. Had my brakes, plugs, oil, and micro filter serviced and Mel also discovered an oil leak. When asked if it required immediate attention, I got a no BS answer. Mel is fair, honest, and knows his BMW’s. Wish I’d found him sooner, but there’s no looking back now. Thanks Mel. See you again for sure.

Got all fluids (oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid, coolant) and filters changed since my 2007 328i reached 100k miles.
It’s driving even better and smoother now.
Price was not cheap but reasonable for the work done.

I do my Bimmer servicing at this place… brake pads, spark plug/​ignition coils, Oil changes all at fair price compared to stealership :)

Mel is the man. Did a great job. Excellent value. Quick. Definitely going back.

Stay away from this place. Had some work done on a 5 series here a while back, At the time the price for the work seemed outrageously high, but i trusted his estimate based on good reviews. After comparing prices a few places, the repairs done were not only more expensive than EVERY other single place in town, even the BMW dealership could not understand how parts and labor came out to so much for a relatively small job. Other reviewers have mentioned that the prices here are close to dealership prices. That is putting it mildly. The prices here are higher than the dealership.

This is my second time to have my 325i service here and no doubt that Mel does a good job. He provides good service and advice on what needs to be done and promptly gets the car done in a timely manner. I would recommend this place to service any BMW.

previous comment was added by mistake! I was referring to another shop!
yes, shop owner was very professional and nice! sorry bro

Mel is a straightforward guy that knows what he is doing and will do quality work at a reasonable price. He has and will continue to service my BMWs.

Here’s a place you can trust. Great communication and quality of service! I recommend for all BMW model years. Mines a 2010.

Thanks Mel, for the control arm bushings, brakes and gaskets you have replaced on my car. It has 130K miles and now runs like it did when it has 10K miles on it. Love, LOVE absolutely love my car again now that it handles like it should. Mel picked me up and dropped me off without an issue. Being a one person shop, it should be understood that he can not always do this. His prices are fair and he has never over charged me in the 3 times he has worked on my car. I will definitely be back.

I really enjoy my 335i and was looking for in indy shop that wouldn’t cost me an arm and a leg. I was referred to Mel by a colleague. The car needed an oil change, filter replacement, coolant flush etc.etc.
Mel picked the car up from my work place and promised to return it in the evening.
Prices quoted are not exactly cheap, but still cheaper than the stealership. But… you get what you pay for.
Turns out my battery also needed to be replaced and Mel informed me of this promptly.
In short, Mel knows what he is doing and does a quality job.
Looks like I found a reliable technician.
Cheers…

Got Brake job done on a 335i– quick service even without an appointment, reasonable price, no BS. No need to take your BMW to a dealership and pay for expensive service. These guys can do it all. Highly recommended.

I wasn’t satisfied.
The charges were higher than originally discussed.
No pickup.
I would stay away next time.

They did a great job and came in significantly cheaper than the dealer. My car is noticeably smoother after the work they did (oil change, coolant, steering, alignment, filters etc).
Work was done on time, and they called to get authorization before doing extra work. I’ll be back.

Mel will make it right. He knows BMWs. I had a strange problem with the drive shaft of my 325xi touring. At 35 – 55 mph I had a strange shaking going on up front on the right side. It turns out I had aftermarket drive shafts from an old repair (not disclosed as aftermarket). They were coming apart. All better now!

Went in for a battery replacement upon one of my friends referral. Mel was nice and friendly. He showed me all the fault messages and explained me what needs to be done. He charged a reasonable amount compared to what was quoted by dealers. I am definitely going back to his garage.

I’ve been going to Mel for about 3 years now and I have to say he is always so pleasant to speak with. He’s honest and trustworthy! Brought my 325i in a few days ago due to a bad alternator. I had previously taken it to a shop that was closer to my home in fear of it not making it all the way to mountain view. BIG MISTAKE! The place I took it to tried to gauge me for everything i had. Told me it was a bad alternator, spark plugs and likelihood a bad tranny!!! WHAT THE??? At this time I knew i made a big mistake. I should’ve taken it to Mel and paid for the tow from San Jose.
Mel has reasonable pricing, on the spot for a «one man shop» and always greets me with a smile! Can’t say enough about him. Thank you for all your help and boy was there a lesson learned in this story. Mtn View might be a 20 min drive from SJ, but well worth it knowing my car is in good hands.
