BavTek

I came here because no one was willing to risk fixing my cluster pixels also because bmw only replace the whole cluster for like 2000 dollars i said no way jose came to thomas here very knowledgable of what he is doing he did a great job and i will recommend him to all my friends and family

I’ve been procrastinating having the instrument panel on my X5 done for quite some time, and have read and watched way too many videos as I considered doing it myself (I do a lot of things myself and «nobody ever does it right anyway» :) and I end up having to do it over to fix it!). Long ago I bookmarked Tomas’ page, just in case I messed this up and needed to be bailed out (assuming I even tried to fix it, which I didn’t!)! Yesterday I decided that since I had to drive north and close to Tomas I decided to call and see if he would take my cluster in in the morning and let me go do my business up north and then pick it back up on my way back down. I really did not want to do it myself, but I also had little hope that this scenario would work out with such short notice. Tomas did not hesitate and said «sure, I don’t know why that wouldn’t work». What!!! One day’s notice and he he says he can do it; impossible-​no one does that anymore.
So I drive up this morning and meet Tomas (very cool guy, BTW) and he shakes my hand, takes my cluster and says «see you in a couple of hours». I go do business, come back down and he has it finished. Not only is it done, it is perfect! So there has to be a catch, right? In fact, as I think back I remember that I did not ask him how much it would cost to have the work done, let alone how much it would be for such quick turnaround: I can see where this is going! He wipes the cluster down one last time and gives me a price LESS than what I was expecting! How can that be?!
Bottom line: I never should have waited so long to have this done, I never should have expected it to be anything less than perfect, and I never should have doubted Tomas! Ten stars and no hesitation recommending Tomas; I am 140% happy to have this back and working exactly as it should. Thank you Tomas; you have a customer and referral source for life!

Tomas did a fantastic job fixing the pixel issues with my cluster and radio on my 2003 BMW 525iT E39 wagon. I drove up from San Diego and sat in his lobby doing some work while he fixed them both in an hour and half. I highly recommend BavTek… well worth the drive!

I was looking for a pixel repair for my 2002 540i and found Bavtek online. Great service and knowledgable about pixel fixes and radio issues. Tomas was very helpful and skilled. I highly recommend this shop for repairs for BMWs. Best service and best price! It was worth the 90 minute drive.

I found this place, German Auto Recycling serendipitously while browsing DIY videos on YouTube on how to repair a BMW door lock mechanism. The other night I inserted my key into my door lock only to hear what sounded like I had just won a slot machine in Vegas, metal falling and flying everywhere, not good to hear being 3 hours away from Vegas!
I attempted to figure out how to take care of this myself. I watched a YouTube video they had posted and was about to order the repair kit when up on the computer screen popped up a phone number in the 951 area code! Wow just down the street and to the left!
I gave German Auto Recycling a call and explained my dilemma to Tomas, who stated that although it was very unusual to have the entire lock mechanism come flying out all at once he was up for the challenge! Wow! Who does that anymore? Tomas does; that is who! I asked when he was available and he said to come on down and he would squeeze me in! Wow! Who does that anymore? Tomas does; that is who!
Tomas rebuilt the entire lock mechanism in about an hour. It now works better than it ever did! Great customer service and a more than fair price. Tomas repaired the lock mechanism my 2002 325i and it works perfectly. Words cannot express my gratitude and complete satisfaction I had with his professionalism, knowledge, and efficiency.
Before you waste your time calling other people; save your time and energy and go with the pro ~ go with Tomas!!! I feel like I did win in Vegas that day and you will too!!!

I was so lucky to find this shop, I stumbled across his shop when browsing DIY videos on you tube. I had been having trouble with my instrument cluster on my 2003 BMW X5, I was actually trying to figure out how to take it out myself. Saw that they were located locally and gave him a call. Tomas quoted me a price and I immediately made an appointment. Tomas rebuilt the whole thing in about one hour. Great customer service. More than fair price. Tomas was very friendly and helpful. He repaired the instrument cluster on my 2003 X5 and it works perfectly. Words cannot express the complete satisfaction I had with his professionalism, knowledge, and efficeincy.
Muchas Gracias Tomas.

They fixed a botched attempt at a self-​repair on the lcd readout on the instrument cluster on my X5. They even fixed the calibration and the knobs that I screwed up at no extra cost. Saved me a ton of money on buying a new cluster and having it reprogrammed at the dealer. Well done.

The 3-​series BMW radio knob repair is a typical problem with the use of some cheap plastic parts on an otherwise terrific car (think of the bad sunroof design or the terrible plastic rear light modules!). The radio should be an issue for recall, but never will be. Dealers want you to replace the radio for want of a tiny plastic replacement part (at $ 500 – 700). Tomas provides the part with DIY instructions on Youtube, or offers the repairs with quick turn around. I had tried to repair the part myself with a very unsatisfactory glue solution. The replacement part is the right way to fix it.
I opted for the complete service. The quick service, combined with a fair price, was excellent. We talked on the phone and then texted about the problems (I created some trouble with my glue mess and needed to replace some little bits), and I have my radio back like new. Fantastic service!

I had a great experience getting my BMW’s radio repaired here. The dealership wanted $ 175 to just look at the radio, and said it would probably cost me about $ 700 when all said and done. Took it here, and got my radio fixed within 30 minutes, for $ 150. Tomas, the owner, was great to deal with, very professional, and easy to get in touch with. Highly recommended!

This was my first time doing anything to my car myself, and they made it so easy!
Every time I called, someone answered and was able to walk me through the process.
I ordered the wrong part and he overnighted the correct one to me, no charge!
This is the place to go for Bmw parts and advice! Their service made me a loyal customer.

I have bought multiple parts here. No Problem.

I was very apprehensive about the purchase due to the options that my BMW came with. I did not no the first thing about what type or what month it was built in 03, the months of production depends on what electrical options it comes with, this will differ from month to month drastically. They took the time to tell me where to get the info via txt, and at times phone call. I work overnight an I txt them at 1am and they answered with in 10mins. Their support team is amazing. They where the cheapest and the product works amazing.

Great business that still believes in great customer service. I purchased a mirror for my 330xi and it was shipped same day! Received the mirror and had an issue with the auto-​dim feature. Emailed Tomas and he called me the next day to discuss the issue. He was then happy to offer a replacement and shipped it again that same day and the second mirror worked like a charm. Overall a very pleasurable experience and will now only buy parts for my car from Tomas and German Auto Recycling.

A+. Thanks to Tomas for his Excellent Service and i will use his service again. Thanks Guys!
