Truly a hidden gem we found by.. accident. My son's car broke down on the Saw Mill around Mt. Kisco, and limped the '15 535 to Bimmers Only in BH. Dropped the car in front of the shop, late at night, and left a message. Spoke to Graham the next morning, he could not have been nicer or more accommodating about it. Graham diagnosed the problem, estimated the cost and got the car back on the road in a day after getting all the necessary parts. It was a complex repair to the driveshaft, Graham showed us all the broken parts he replaced with BMW OEM. Plus he found the coolant expansion tank was cracked, and leaking. The shop is a very rare find. You're not getting this kind of quality work from any dealer, and the pricing is fair. HIGHLY recommend this gem of a place for any BMW enthusiast looking to get quality work done by an experienced master mechanic who does ... bimmers only!

I have a 21 year old BMW that I never want to let go. It was having some troubles and was getting misdiagnosed by other mechanics which was costing me too much time and money. I was referred to Bimmers Only and decided it was going to be worth the long drive to see what they could do. I called first and the man on the phone was polite, patient and interested to hear all about the car. He said he could see me same day. I arrived to the small lot, and meet them. They listened to what was wrong, I loved how they were communicating with each other to try to diagnose the issue. You could tell there was a wealth of knowledge and intelligence. Their tidy and thoughtful approach to the car, their patience and the questions they asked me were a refreshing change to the mechanics that swagger and talk down to you. They took off the fan, ran some tests, and I was very happy with their diagnosis. On leaving, the drive through the surrounding area back home was very woodsy and pretty which made it even more worthwhile.

I ve been working with Bimmers only for a few years and can t recommend them enough. I have an older model 535 which naturally requires maintenance from time to time. But, thanks to Graham and the Bimmers only family, who have always made themselves available for service, my visits are limited to minor issues, oil changes etc. They are honest, straightforward and extremely courteous. It s obvious that they really do care about their customers and go above and beyond to maintain their high standard of customer gratification. Thank you Bimmers only!Services: Brakes, Oil change

First time visit 3/9/23 for a brake fluid flush. Graham seems like a knowledgeable, fair, and good man. He was concerned about a coolant splash under the overflow tank. I appreciate that he was concerned about an issue that was unrelated to my visit, had me join him in the shop for a look, and took the time to pressure test the cooling system to ensure that no leak was apparent. I will return again for sure.Service: Brakes

I had two major oil leaks on my 2010 BMW 328i, Graham and his team were able to give me a great price and do the work fast and professionally! Graham explained all of the work he would be performing in detail so I knew exactly what had to be done. Very knowledgeable team. I would highly recommend!

Graham has been wonderful. I have a 2013 X1 and it needed a new transfer case. Dealer said $4500 minimum. I went to Graham and he came up with a solution that fixed the problem for less money and he explained all the various options to me. Another repair he was able to fix the day it happened and his estimate was exactly the final price. I have gone to see him other times when I had issues and he always put my mind at ease about something the dealer was telling me I NEEDED (for another $1800) and told me when and if I might need it and what to look for. His service and professionalism is keeping me in the car that I love while I deal with some of the issues that an older car faces. Well worth the drive to Bedford Hills to have someone who is honest and gets the job done correctly.

Was looking for a reliable BMW mechanic in my area and found bimmers only which has some excellent reviews. Very pleased with the fact my car was completely repaired following a complete diagnosis that resulted in a bad wire being located which disabled my electronic suspension. Others tried but could not find this problem and just gave up. Bimmers not only repaired this issue and a few others but did so honestly and at cost that was probably half of what the dealer would charge (if they could even do it). Graham from bimmers is an experienced mechanic who I highly recommend, if you have BMW and are in this area, he is without a doubt a no brainer for a mechanic. Thank you!Services: Brakes, Auto maintenance, Oil change

What can I say, I don't think I've posted a review for an auto shop ever but these guys are an exception to the rule. We've lived in Bedford for the past four years and have had them work on the car ever since we found out that the BMW dealer in Mt Kisco was a complete joke when we first moved here (ie misdiagnosed problems, overpaid, etc). Graham and his crew are just a bunch of straight-up honest professionals who do remarkable work. Don't listen to me ask around.Service: General repairs & maintenance

I've been a customer of Bimmers Only (owned and run by the awesome Graham Lawson) since 2002, and STRONGLY recommend them for any kind of mechanical or electrical work on a BMW of any age. He's unbelievably good at what he does, and on top of that he's professional, conscientious, reliable and ridiculously fair price-wise. He's serviced, repaired or track-prepped every BMW M I've ever had plus all of our Fords and Chevy's, and every friend I've sent his way raves about him. Give him a shot, you won't be sorry.

I've been taking my '72 2002 to Graham for well over 20 years! I ask him to treat it like it was his own. He does!! And all at reasonable and fair cost. Don't take your beloved Bimmer anywhere else!

Graham and team at Bimmer's only are on there A game. They can pinpoint an issue with your BMW just by driving it and they work with you to save you money. This is something I never found at a dealer ship as they like to charge for everything. The amount of quality work that they can do in an hour is astonishing and there pricing is so fair, I even had labor time broken down to 15 minutes , and some things I feel like they just did pro bono as a valued customer. I feel in very good hands as I take my bimmer to be service there and knowing that they never try to up sale you or rip you off. It is also very nice to be able to see and talk to the person working on your car and establish a relationship. When I leave there my bmw is running in tiptop shape. Highly recommend them for any service needs.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine tuning, Wheel alignment, Oil change

I have been bringing my BMWs to Graham for over 20 years and they have always treated me fairly and saved me lots of money compared to the dealers. I have recommended them often and always received positive comments from my friends.I wish I could get the same treatment from my truck repair shop.

Have been bringing my Z3 M Coupe to Bimmers Only for some 10 years and the work is always superb. This has included unusual items as well as regular service. A particular stand-out was 5 years ago when the BMW dealer said I needed to rebuild the engine due to a popped freeze plug, Bimmers said "poppy cock" and the car has run perfectly ever since. Great shop, great service.

It seems that the OEM halogen headlights issued with my stock BMW 2015 328d diesel wagon were the worst of all installed in all of the automobiles manufactured in 2015 - resulting in a car that could not be safely driven at night at more the 35 MPH as the forward "throw" of the OEM headlights as dangerously short.At the time I purchased the car BMW offered an upgrade offered for "Adaptive bi-Xenon" headlamps that did provide an adequate "throw" but I was not aware of the option and assumed erroneously that the stock BMW wagon would be a good and safe auto. It wasn't.When I discovered the inadequacy of the OEM halogens and searched the internet I found that the problem was well known and that replacing the OEM headlamps was deemed impossible.However Graham Lawson managed the impossible, installing replacement Bi-Xenon headlights despite the lack of mounted adaptive sensors that would provide information for the complete adaptive more powerful bi-Xenon lamps.The car's computer now throws an error message alerting me that headlamps are failing to receive instructions but they provide a remarkable and welcome long distance and accurate "throw" allowing me to travel at night safely and at legally proscribed speed limits with plenty of forward visibility. thank you GrahamService: Electrical

I have used Bimmers Only for at least 30 years. Graham Lawson (Bimmers Only) first worked on my 1985 535i. We went on to turbocharge it, through Calloway, with Graham doing all the work on the car. Since then I've had multiple BMW's, a Porsche here and there, customized vehicles of all sorts, classic European sports cars, and American "muscle cars." Graham has, surprisingly for a shop named Bimmers Only, worked on all of them. He consistently shows the skill, perseverance, and intuitive knowledge of machinery, to be able to diagnose and repair problems that other shops have missed, or been unable to diagnose, when I have lived in other parts of the country. Graham also single handedly did two complete engine transplants and full vehicle upgrades on two very special vehicles, for me. One he put a Chevrolet 502 Ram Jet crate motor and Richmond 6 speed manual transmission in. The vehicle had previously been an automatic, and needed modern wiring meshed with the crate motors electronics. This was no easy task. Graham also put a stroker e30 M3 motor, and five speed transmission, into a 2002 BMW for me as well. Obviously this involves custom fabrication, among many other skills...I COULD NOT RECOMMEND GRAHAM (and Bimmers Only) MORE HIGHLY.Grahams wife, Bambi, is also a wonderful woman, who manages billing and accounting. Bimmers Only is truly a family business that has helped me out when I have been in dire vehicular situations! After 30 years of experience and relationships, with them and their employees and offspring, I can genuinely say they have dramatically improved the quality of my life, allowed me to transport my children safely, AND...helped me to play with some incredible vehicles!Sincerely,Edward Burden

If 10 stars was an option they would have it. I have been a customer and friend of the shop for over 30 years. Not once have I ever walked in and been turned away. Most times they stop what they are doing and take the time to help with anything I needed. I have owed many BMW's classic and newer and they can handle all. No need to look anywhere else. AAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++

Graham managed the impossible; to better the worst halogen headlamps ever installed in a BMW (the 2015 328d wagon OEM) with bright and perfect LEDs. Affable, skilled and fair, he is a remarkable find.

Wow, where do I start? I wouldn't recommend this "specialist". Brought my BMW in for a faulty spark plug. Mechanics worked on it for two weeks...and then tried to charge me $850 claiming they had to fix all the "thrown codes", which I mean I guess I get it? nah not really... I've had my spark plugs replaced before, I assure you it was just the spark plug...I told them no way I was paying them that I couldn't afford it. Ended up paying $500 and when I picked up my car not only was the owner obnoxious, but im honestly really writing this because he had the nerve to SIDE SWIPE my front drivers side door and NOT tell me about it. That took a 3 star experience to a one star...
