I would not take your car here if you want someone that does coke and smoke weed went to the bathroom and found some were you wash your hands at and I can tell he was on it because off his eyes there were really big and he was all jittery and talking really fast not a good place unfortunately

Quick and good service. Able to explain my questions regarding the work done on my car

Sal was very communicative and addressed all my concerns. He is very amicable and professional. I was making small talk with another customer when dropping off my car and that customer mentioned how the prices here are very reasonable compared to other places that he’s been to. I was also referred to Sal by my dad who told me he was a very knowledgeable mechanic. All cars are welcome here not just the luxury cars. If you’re wondering if you should bring your car, definitely bring it!

Great customer service!! Always get my repairs done quickly!

My bmw 528i was having issues with an oil leak and he was able to replace my cover gasket. He did an amazing job that I used him again for my fuel pump. He fixed both issues effortlessly. Great services!! If you have an issue with your car, go there you will be happy you did!


Oct 06, 2024

Great service every time. Saul fixed my indoor handles and broken window motor.

Hi Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't usually leave reviews and this isn't paid or promo at all. I met Sal the owner back in 2022 with some issues with my 328i bmw he was straight to the point very honest and by far the best and most reasonable mechanic I've ever came across. He diagnosed a battery terminal melting issue and coolant issue in record time. I then had another issue with awhole different vehicle this time a 535i bmw and he diagnosed it, squeezed me in his busy schedule, never rushed me explained everything and ultimately fixed my car better than it was prior to my issue. Highly recommend Bavarian Automotive for any make vehicle or any car issues he even came in on his day off to help. Don't make the mistake of going to to anyone else! 💯


Oct 06, 2024

I was in a difficult situation 2 times where I needed a car, right now! Sal got me in & fixed the same day. Even before the time he quoted. The shop has my vote.


Oct 06, 2024

I wish I had taken my 325ci to Bavarian first. My BMW would turn off everytime I came to a stop. Bavarian found the problem in just a few hours and I was on the road the next day. I highly recommend Bavarian, professional, knowledgeable, honest, clean. I know have someone I trust.


Oct 06, 2024

It’s nice to do business with someone you trust.


Oct 06, 2024

Sal is honest and he does great work at fantastic prices i would recommend anyone with a foreign car to check him out


Oct 06, 2024

Why I can own a BMW without too much worry, It‘s Bavarian Auto.


Sep 06, 2024

Initally I contactef the Dealership for a price to replace water pump and timing belt and was told they would be unable to estimate the cost but they told me the hourly rate was $225.00 .That was the end of that conversation ! I have German car and as I looked through the internet offerings I came across Bavarian Auto and decided to give them a call. Sal answered my call and all my questions as well as a idea of the cost to make my maintenance repair. I had no prior experience with Bavarian Auto but his reviews were very good. Long story short Bavarian made my repairs and I"m absolutely going to have Bavarian Auto be my auto repair service going forward.


Sep 06, 2024

My first time here. Completely satisfied. Very reasonable. Sal is a professional and a decent man.


Sep 06, 2024

Sal is honest, knowledgeable and reliable. He fixed our Mini quicker than expected and was very reasonable priced.


Aug 06, 2024

Sal does a great job of repairing and maintaining my car. He’s very knowledgeable with BMWs and keeps me updated on necessary regular maintenance.


Jul 06, 2024

Great repair shop, Sal is Amazing. One of the few places where I’ve seen a Bugatti and a Ford Gt getting serviced to next a Honda, would trust with any of my Vehicles


Jul 06, 2024

I’ve Taken My BMW here twice now. Not only is Sal professional he is also very knowledgeable. He doesn’t beat around the bush and so far the best prices in town! He got me in, in a timely manner and the work was even faster! Definitely recommend if you have a European car that you bring it in and ask for Sal!


Jun 06, 2024

Went in to have motor mounts that were collapsed on my 528i replaced. They had the repair done same day and the work was quality. My car will definitely be going to Bavarian Auto for all future work


Jun 06, 2024

Goes above and beyond for his customers. I’ve taken my family cars here at least a handful of times this year alone.


Jun 06, 2024

I am very happy with the repairs made to my vehicle as well as the price. I highly recommend Bavarian Auto!


Jun 06, 2024

Was told price when I dropped off my 2003 325i.Clay kept me informed and was up front with me about the maybe issues.


May 06, 2024

Had to go in for a power steering issue was the cheapest place around and honestly was definitely somewhere I’m coming back to and I had a bmw and no I’m not a boy this is a real person saying this it’s worth it


Apr 06, 2024

First time visit after everyone I work with recommended Sal. He was friendly and knowledgeable with a customer service focus. Definitely going to return for all maintenance on my BMW!


Apr 06, 2024

Excellent service, good prices and quick turn around. I have been a customer since shortly after he opened and being an owner of a BMW I have been a customer a few times. Rick M.

Feb 06, 2024

Great Customer Service! We live in Texas and our daughter lives in Bakersfield. Her car would not start over the weekend so we called on Monday and they were able to fit her car in that same day. Thank you for being providing fast, great and professional service.


Feb 06, 2024

More than affordable in more ways than just one! The owner was great, reasonably priced and didn’t over charge for labor! I’ll be a return customer for life! Thank you guys.


Feb 06, 2024

Needed to get my belts changed for my BMW. They took care of it the same day and my car runs great. I will definitely return. The staff and owner were really great.

This place and Sal were nothing less than a Godsend when I was traveling through, trying to get to my mom who had just been hospitalized. I was driving my husband's Z4 and flying--until I wasn't. His car broke down when I stopped for gas just north of Bakersfield. I got towed and my husband found this place for me to take his car. It was past 4:45--on a Friday--when the tow truck driver dropped me off. Sal and his partner diagnosed the issue but didn't think he could get it fixed before Monday as he didn't have the right part. When he found out my story, he told me to hang tight. He went back into his shop and a few mins later came back out having found a top of the line starter from his buddy's shop a few miles away. He said, I'm supposed to be closing but I'll stay late and charge you a little extra for labor, but I'll give you the part wholesale (or something thereabouts)--deal? I was blown away by God's favor over me in the form of this total stranger who didn't have to serve me in this way. In 15 mins he had the part and he and his partner began working away. They didn't have to take much out of the way (sorry I can't remember what's usually in the way of a starter, but whatever it is, my husband's 2007 Z4 didn't have it there). Sal turned to me and said, You'll be back on the road by 6. I think I was back on the road by 5:50. (Got to the hospital after visiting hours but like Sal, they had mercy on me and let me in.) Moral of the story: Sal's your guy. (And God is good.)

Very Very great Mechanics thanks sal.
