First off, Ziggy is a very knowledgeable BMW mechanic! He completely rebuilt the entire VANOS system on our BMW 328i xDrive and got the car running again. A very dishonest BMW dealer in the area (do honest dealers exist?) quoted us $20K to replace the engine and suggested, in fact, to buy a new car. Obviously we didn't buy their nonsense. Ziggy fixed it, instead. Ziggy is very fair, honest and professional.Ziggy is also a certified BMW mechanic who worked for a BMW dealer for over 15 years.

Ziggy has been taking care of my Bimmer for years. He is reliable, reasonable and fair. He tells you what s wrong and always looks to save you on unnecessary repairs that others would push on you. He s simply the best! His place looks unassuming but he does great work at a reasonable time frame. I can t recommend him enough. If you have a BMW there s no better place to take your car.Look at the photos and just know that Ziggy is a major reason why my 2008 BMW 5 series made it to 300,000 miles and counting. Next stop 400 thousand!!! Thanks Ziggy!!!

Ziggys is a great BMW technician. He explains the process, the costs, and timing of everything that was needed to be fixed with our 328i. His prices are very reasonable and he does a stellar job. I highly recommend him if you are looking to get something repaired on your BMW at a fraction of the cost that the dealership would ask for.Services: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, BatteryServices: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Battery

He's a nice person but not sure what else good I would add beyond that. I dealt with him about 4-5 months ago - just as a reference. I had few issues dealing with him. 1) multiple phone calls to find status and I don't nag. I must have called 8 times and he twice. I called when I didn't get call as promised - to set the record 2) discussing problem - it was more of a trial and error vs him knowing the issue. had drivetrain issue. first made me replace all plugs then fuel injector and I was told problem solvedbut not really. error popped up back in 200 miles 3) didn't get access to car for over a week 4) $1300 spent had to be all cash. Fortunately i had sold the car 10 days later so I didn't get to check if he would fix or charge more. However, the person I sold it too was not happy with the issues and he didn't want to come back to Ziggy. So overall what I thought was a good experience wasn't. For someone just dealing in BMW's should know the problem and fix it first time or do the necessary checks before giving the car back.

Professional and just a honest and swell guy. Ziggy's very busy. Don't just show up but call ahead and make an appt like everyone else. His garage is in the middle of a Rte 206 highway so your best to get someone to pick you up after you drop off the car (you'll have to drop it off) or take a Lyft. He replaced my leaky X5's coolant tank and it's holding up very well so far and price was very reasonable. Uses nothing but good parts unless you tell him OEM. It's a little out of my way but I would highly recommend Ziggy's and have my bimmer work done here.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Oil change

Straight talking, THE BEST, I didn t drive my e30 for a while due electric issues (diagnosed by Ziggy s), we found Ziggy s shop a few weeks ago, we brought this one to Ziggy s shop after scheduled an appointment, and after a few days my dream car was fixed, can t thanks enough. Now I know and understand where all the glamorous reviews on the website came from. HIGHLY recommend Ziggy s, very professional, Honest and kind.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic

Ziggy does excellent work. He is always honest and never oversells service you don't need. I have had him work on several cars over the last six years, and I have never been disappointed. If you want a great BMW technician and at a fraction of the dealer cost - he's your man!

Got my 2014 328i timing chain replaced. Ziggy was happy to provide receipts and had no problem returning the parts that were replaced, and turned it around in under a week. Great service and cheaper than the dealer.

Ziggy's is the place to go get your BMW seen to in the area. Once your BMW warranty runs out, avoid the dealers like the plague, Ziggy has you covered.

Bought our "dream car" 2000 Z3 Convertible Roadster w/low mileage as an investment from a small dealer in PA. Ziggy did a full diagnostic and was able to give advice to what items needed to be addressed and their priorities. He is very knowledgeable having been a mechanic @BMW before opening up this shop. He is courteous, professional, friendly and service is done promptly. He went over and above for me to get the car ready to be inspected in a timely manner. I continue to use Ziggy's Bimmer whenever my car needs anything since he is really a full service place. He is very reasonably priced, trustworthy, honest & with a fantastic work ethic. He makes me feel like my car is a top priority and that is something you don't get from most repair shops. EXTREMELY HAPPY THAT I FOUND THIS PLACE...ZIGGY IS AWESOME.Services: Electrical repair, Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Body & Trim, Brakes, Oil change

Ziggy is always very straight-forward and honest plus his work is top-quality. I have had my 2012 135i into Ziggy's shop a few times now, his prices always amaze me and I have never had a single issue with the work he performed. Having a reliable BMW shop like Ziggy's Bimmer Center makes me confident that I'll be able to hold on to my car for many more years to come. I have recently recommended Ziggy to a friend for his '08 328i, he also has had the same experience and will be bringing his car to Ziggy in the future as well. Great shop, hands down.

4 days after purchasing my new pretty ride, the engine blew up..I didn't even know Ziggy existed, but the tow truck suggested it and I had nothing to loose, so there we went. The place doesn't look fancy or anything, but Ziggy really was great.It took some time to get me a new engine, it was a huge job (V8 x5 BMW), but he got it done within week and few days! It wasn't cheap, but nothing makes me more happier to sit back in my ride and enjoy the zoom zoom.He's attitude was great, he's straightforward and let's you know Up front what to expect, so if you're BMW person, he's your guy :)

I ve owned a bmw 135i e88 for two years and have been going to Ziggy since the day I found him. I turn wrenches myself, but when things are above my pay grade Ziggy is the only guy that I trust to work on my car. He knows his stuff, is fairly priced, is truly passionate about cars, and goes above and beyond to make sure the job is done right. If you own a bmw I highly recommend his shop. I ve had terrible experiences with European generalist mechanics and though I live 45 minutes away I find the logistical hurdles of getting the car to him well worth the peace of mind of knowing it is in good hands.

Ziggy services our neighbor's car and I often go with her to help jockey the cars around. He is a fair, honest, and knowledgeable mechanic. Those characteristics are not often found in one person! His prices are very reasonable and he does not take advantage. This is one mechanic you can trust implicitly! Finally, he is just a really nice guy!

If I had an option to give 10 stars I would have given for Ziggy s service.I am so glad that I was referred to Ziggy s garage when I was looking for a reliable mechanic who can take care of my BMW X5 maintenance and service needs. After reading thru so many positive reviews I drove all the way from Edison to troubleshoot and address the issue that I had with overheating Indicator displayed on my BMW X5. Ziggy troubleshooted the issue and fixed it with BMW original parts. It is far better than going to a dealership. If you want a reliable BMW expert who can provide exceptional service I would hire Guly recommend going to Ziggy s Bimmer Center and get it done. Ziggy is not like other mechanics who will charge and create problems that are not required to address. No need to bargain on the price because he quotes a very competitive price on parts and labor. Finally I found a Primary Care Mechanic for my BMW X5.I would recommend to try once and than decide for yourself why customers take time to give reviews for his service.No More BMW Dealership....

Ziggy, is a very nice person and I am not doubting his skills. But, he is one of the worse mechanics I have ever dealt with!!! I took my BMW to Ziggy with a list of Items that I needed to be fixed and he assured me that he would be able to fix them and he did not! Not only did he not fix all of the problems. But he caused more damaged that he had no intentions of fixing.I would not recommend Ziggy's Bimmer Center to anyone. If you plan to use Ziggy's Bimmer Center please consider the wait time is ridiculously long and your car will be added to Ziggy BMW cemetery!Ziggy, please do not say you do not know who I am. I have text messages. I also payed all CASH.

Ziggy knows his stuff, is personable and always charges a fair price. I have an 09 135i with a bunch of work done to it. I went to Ziggy for the more complicated installs that also required a lift. He installed my downpipes, front mounted intercooler and turbo inlets. Ziggy is the type of mechanic that takes pride in his work and will reach out to you the next day to ask how it's running.

My 19 year old son bought an older 323 that needed lots of work. Ziggy was always open and honest with him regarding cost and benefit of any repairs. I would highly recommend this shop. I believe Ziggy to be a breath of fresh air, open honest and delivers what he promises at a very reasonable price.If you need BMW service USE THIS SHOP!!

Ziggy is without a doubt the most honest, conscientious, talented BMW mechanic I ve had the pleasure of doing business with. His work on my car was done to perfection and he saved me thousands of dollars over what the dealership or any other mechanic on the area quoted me to fix my car. Thank you Ziggy ... Wishing You All The Best For Your Business, ..Tom Bridge

Driving back in our 2013 BMW X3 from work had an engine fail, turns out catastrophic. Got the car towed that night to Flemington BMW. Their service team indicated a blown motor due to a timing gear part. Replacement of new motor would cost $16,000. That's about what the car is worth. Took a chance and brought the car to Ziggys Bimmer Center. Just speaking to him I knew immediately I was in the right place. He knew all about this problem part causing the damage. Then he surprised me and said I could rebuild the motor. Really! This small independant repair guy could do something a multi million dollar operation never even offered as an option. Ziggy is swamped with work and I wasn't in need of a car right away since I would be traveling. He finished the car ahead of schedule, saved me a TON of money, car runs like new and most important this is one super nice awesome person who really takes pride in his work and is just a pleasure to speak to. Just left him my older 5 series to check the transmission and some minor maintenance. I know I will never have to look around for servicing my BMW's in the future, I found a gem of a guy! Thanks Ziggy!

Ziggy is one of the nicest guys I know and always provides exceptional service. If I need him to help me out with anything at anytime he says yes. I trust him more than any dealership. His work and his customer service speak for themselves. Highly recommend!!

If you want to maintain your BMW like new, this is where you go. Little pricey compared to an average mechanic, but way less than the dealer. Turnaround can be slow if you don't push, but there's a reason he's overrun! If you're trying to maintain a BMW at dealer levels without dealer prices, then this is the place to go. Ziggy definitely knows what he's doing.

Folks - A true small business owner who puts in good and honest hard work and also lives is the same area. I had a stuck hood latch and Ziggy took care of it. He is knowledgeable, courteous, and uses BMW OEM parts. No gimmicks, no drama, just genuine Ziggy!

I would rather go to Ziggys Bimmer than to a dealership to get my E46 and E39 for repair and maintenance. I can always count on making my car fix the right way. I bought a car from him and very happy that I did. Any repairs you need I would go to him first.Services: Transmission, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Engine repairServices: Transmission, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair

Ziggy's offered competitive prices on repair for our 2015 BMW 335i Gran Turismo. Instead of paying over $1500 on repairing the front axle bearings and replacing the spark plugs by the BMW dealership in Bridgewater, we saved over $500 in repair costs here. Would love to do service again at Ziggy's in the future.
