Garber’s

Simply the best! Been a customer for over 15 years. Drive from Orange County because they are the only ones I trust.
An example: My car wouldn’t start, trying to spare myself the drive I brought it into a local BMW place and they wanted to replace the computer system at $ 1000 +. Greg had me on the phone describe the problem and then told me to try my spare key. That phone call saved me $ 1000. The key had gone bad… not the computer system! Thank you Greg and all the mechanics at Garbers!

Brought my 2011 BMW 328i in to get some things checked. I dropped her off at 9am and picked up by 5pm the same day. Plugs changed and fixed a coil. Greg was great to chat with about BMW’s. He knows what’s up. Didn’t try to sell me on anything extra, just did the job. Just the way I like it. This indy shop is just around the corner from my house too. These cars need tender loving care, and based on my experience, Garbers did just that. I strongly recommend this shop!

Went in thinking i needed service, i was told car was fine and bring it back anytime to get it checked if i have any other concerns, great place, Will return when it needs it…

Love Garbers and their fantastic service. Our relationship with Garbers started about 10 years ago when we had taken out BMW into a dealership right after the car went off warranty. I was so stressed about all the repairs they said the car needed. I called Greg and he told me to bring the car to him to see what really needed doing. He was so upfront and honest about what the car really needed, saving me 1000.00’s from our first visit.
We are now about to get rid of our BMW and get something else. The thing we are saddest about is the fact that we won’t be able to take our car to Garber’s anymore.
Thanks for all the help over the years!!!

What mechanic can you take your BMW to at 4:00PM and have it back by 1:30PM the next day!!!

I had a bad water pump on my 645ci. I took it to Greg after seeing the reviews on Unilocal!!!Greg was AWESOME!!! He was very nice and professional. Not only did he fix my car in under 24hrs, He made sure everything was topped off! He checked the oil, coolant, etc! This was by far my best experience EVER at any auto shop! Sorry
McKenna, you will never see my BMW again!!!

I’ve owned 3 BMWs, 1995 530i, 2001 540i, and a 2009 135i and I have taken them all to Greg. He’s an awesome guy that genuinely has a love for cars and helping people. As long as i own any BMW I will bring it here!

Being a former owner of a Bmw 850i and a 318i, I’ve been to many dealers and other we repair «A-​Z» shops throughout my 20 years plus of driving. I recently purchased another bmw 318i for my son who will be attending his first year of college. I needed someone reputable in my area and was referred to Garbers where I met Greg. I have to say Greg is one of the most genuine and honest people I’ve met compared to previous shops I’ve taken my cars to. My son’s car had a «check engine» light on when we brought the car in and Greg diagnosed the problem and stated that cylinder 4 was misfiring. Instead of trying quickly sell me on some wires and plugs, he took the time to use the process of elimination and started with only replacing my plugs (which were in real bad condition) and cleaning the ends of the spark plug wires to see if that would resolve the issue before he recommend replacing the wires. I was very impressed with his honesty and the pride he and his employees take in providing excellent service. It’s a great peace of mind knowing my son (new bmw owner) will be in good honest hands everytime he brings his car in for service.

By far the worst shop I have been too. Yea Greg seems nice but when I took my BMW he told me of the repairs that it will need so I gone ahead and said yea. When I get my car back, he says that my problems will not going away even with this fix. So why didnt Greg tell me this in the first place before having me pay for something that would not even fix my car? Not good service and I have told people about this. Garbers is Garbage

Greg and his techs are top notch mechanics and honest to boot. What more can you ask for? Took my 2001 M3 in for an oil leak and «look over», since it’s over 10 years old and I want to keep her running strong for many years to come. She now drives like a dream again and I can resume flogging her without worry. Thanks again Greg!

I recently purchased a used BMW with some minor problems. My good friend recommended Garber’s to me. These guys are excellent, knowledgable mechanics with work that you can really trust (not easy to find). Greg provides amazing customer service that you can’t compare to. I plan to remain with Garber’s for the life of my Beemer and other vehicles in my future.

You will notice that this is my first review. Why? Because this is the first time I have received the kind of service that has left me feeling compelled to tell people about it. These guys are top notch!
I’m a new BMW owner, and found this shop by doing a Google search for the nearest BMW shop from where I live. I know — that could have ended horribly! To say that I lucked out is a HUGE understatement. I’d just bought a 1994 e36 on Craigslist and had been told that it had a minor problem — a stuck lifter. I’d done my research and knew that would mean an expensive fix for a relatively minor problem. So when I took it over to Garber’s, I was ready for the sting. After a short test drive of the car, we pulled back into the shop and one of the mechanics heard the sound my engine was making and immediately identified the problem as not a stuck lifter, but rather a loose spark plug. The difference between those two problems is night and day. A stuck lifter can be tricky and expensive to fix, but does relatively minor damage if left unchecked temporarily, while a loose spark plug is simple to fix, but can do MAJOR damage if not corrected immediately.
These guys have won my business not just based on their skill at handling my car and its problems, but also for the way they have handled me. I’m a new BMW owner who has heard all the horror stories about how expensive owning an Ultimate Driving Machine can be. These guys have talked me through the issues with the car, and helped me prioritize what needs to get done to it. Having someone you can trust let you know what needs to be done «Now» vs.” Soon” and what can wait for «Eventually» makes all the difference in the world to both your budget and peace of mind.
I’m a convert and these guys will be the ones working on my car moving forward for sure.

Greg at Garbers is FANTASTIC! Has always been honest! I used to take my BMW to the dealership while my car was still under warranty and used to wonder why my car always (and I mean always) seemed to be at the shop! Duh… they get paid by corporate even though I didn’t have to pay for the work. My friend, a former BMW owner, encouraged me to go to Greg at Garbers when my car was no longer under warranty and after a couple hefty bills that I did pay at the dealership. What a difference! He is honest and will not rip you off. He even did work on my car after a couple attempts to figure out the problem and didn’t charge me… told me we’d settle it up some other time. Just your regular ol’ neighborhood shop that knows you by name when you call even though you might have been there a couple times. That’s what I call service :)

My BMW and I both love Greg at Garbers! I was introduced to Garbers from my husband who back in his good ol bachelor days had a sporty lookin convertible BMW. He took his car to Garbers and since I have one too he advised that it is far more superior service than any dealership. I must say he was spot on with that advice!
I have been going to Garbers for 3 years and have NEVER been told of any repairs that were not needed like some other shops… please don’t let me mention any names. Being a women and going into foreign territory of «auto repair» I was apprehensive at first and after meeting Greg and hearing his professional and personal opinion of what my car needed, I was sold. Shops like his that are 100% honest are so hard to come by.
I have had brakes done, oil changes, valve repair, window regulators replaced, turn signals, badge replaced, cam something or other done, etc… it sounds like a lot and any BMW owner circa 2000 will tell that they are expensive to keep up and having Greg to take of your baby will save so much!!! Also, almost all work is completed on the same day.

Garber’s is the best local repair shop for BMWs. I have been taking my bimmer here for 4 years and have never had a single problem. The owner, Greg, really takes care of your needs. I liked the service there so much that when i just found this page to get the number for an oil change, I decided to leave a glowing review.

The owner of this garage is a very nice guy but don’t let that fool you. In one year I spent thousands of dollars on my having car repaired at his garage always wondering why my car never seemed to run correctly. I finally took it to another garage who went over all of my paperwork that I received from Garber’s. They pointed out that he was using all of the wrong parts, the wrong oil and filter and the wrong brakes. In one year I had 3 brake jobs and it is finally found that he was using ceramic brakes on my car which are the wrong ones for my make and model BMW. Needless to say I will never EVER go back to this garage.
