These guys are always a great complement to the DIY car guy like me. They do the stuff I need them to do because I m either too busy or the work is beyond my skill, but they also recognize that I like to do my own maintenance where possible, and support me with recommendations on timing, cost, parts, etc. And as a bonus - they vacuum my car out and don t look at me sideways like I don t do my own car cleaning. It s just sometimes - I can t get it to before they do!No funny business - just trustworthy guys and gals, honest thoughtful quotes, great timely work, and fair prices. Do I wish it were cheaper? Of course! I drive a BMW and an Audi - service is always more than I want to pay! But would I take my German cars anywhere else? Not a chance!Thanks Eastside Bavarian!

Very professional, courteous and honest in their diagnosis and charges. Service advisor Ken was incredibly helpful in accommodating my vehicle despite their busy schedule. EB provides regular updates via text and a digital report that outlines inspection details. I would definitely trust my cars with them.

Eastside Bavarian helped us with some 100k mileage work on an older BMW. We got a hefty quote directly from the BMW dealership and EB came in nearly half the estimate which helped us make a cost conscious decision. Ken was very helpful on the phone in scheduling the appointment. The techs team addressed the issue and even topped off our oil when we came back since we had recently completed work. That gesture is pure class. The car is driving smoothly and we have the peace of mind that the big ticket maintenance issues are resolved. This shop will be our 535 s trusted garage for as long as we drive it. Thanks Eastside Bavarian!

They've maintained all of my BMW's for close to 10 years.They are always friendly, fairly priced, and honest with great technical knowledge, unbiased guidance, and attention to detail (no greasy fingerprints!). And, they are active supporters of the BMW PNW CCA.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Unlike some dealership service departments, they don t suggest replacing or repairing something that doesn t need to be done. Thank you!

I have been servicing my 2013 BMW 3 series here for 3-4 years now. They are always extremely courteous and effective with service, as well as very transparent on any expected/discovered costs and recommendations. I have had a couple minor issues over the years (non-functional headlamp after a previous "repair" by a different auto repair company, oxygen sensor issues resulting in lean mixture, steering wheel alignment, etc) and they have always been able to troubleshoot from the symptom and solve promptly while keeping me in the loop. Everything is broken down very clearly and I feel like a partner in maintaining my car, rather than just a clueless paying customer. The wait for an appointment can be a couple weeks, but I believe that is a small inconvenience for not feeling like a proverbial cow being milked for cash as fast as a company can get customers in and out of the door. Much recommended.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes, Brake service & repair, Auto brake replacement, Oil change

Don t bother if you have an older BMW with high mileage . I was looking for a closer shop to work on my 2001 740i but they only want newer stuff. At least post this on your site to save people the hassle.

Thanks so much to Eastside Bavarian! I needed my brakes replaced before a road trip and they were able to schedule me with short notice. They were very helpful, professional and timely. The price was the same as going to the dealer in Seattle and I'd much rather support a local small business. Definitely my choice for both of our cars' service needs going forward. Thanks Dave and crew!Service: Brakes

I have gotten my vehicle maintained and repaired at Eastside Bavarian for 15 years. Everyone at the place is nice and helpful. Communication is timely, and the technical details were always explained to me. Work has always been done well. My car has 95K miles and drives great. I live in the Bothell area and it's worth the drive to come here.Services: Transmission, General repairs & maintenance, Engine repair, Vehicle Inspection, Wheel alignment, Battery, Oil change

We hardly (never) leave feedback but Eastside Bavarian far exceeded expectations and deserves to be recognized, above and beyond. Price seems very reasonable for the quality, knowledge, and customer care. For someone who runs operations for living, I can tell that Dave got this operations down.....very organized, talented/super knowledgeable staff that knows BMW inside out, customer oriented and seem to care about the health of our cars. Those are key ingredients for excellence and quality. Super impress!

First time I ve used a specialized auto shop. I have an Audi and a BMW, I brought my Audi there first to see how it would be. I have to say, the experience was the best car maintenance experience I ve ever had. Thorough analysis and recommendations provided. Before and after photos of the repairs very friendly staff and easiest of all, they can text with you (and did so with me) about the status of your vehicle including a mobile friendly report.It is a little more pricey than I expected but you pay for what you get. In this case I will definitely also be bringing my BMW in once it s due for service as well.Thank you Eastside Bavarian!

I am impressed with the work, the service and the professionalism of Eastside Bavarian. My car feels like it did 10 years ago and I am so happy to have found a terrific shop.I m adding to my last post. I have owned my car for 12 years now. It runs beautifully, I love being able to toss my keys to Dave and know that he will take wonderful care of my beautiful vintage car. They love their work and it shows in the thoughtful way they take care of their clients. I particularly like the photos of the work being done. I used to do a lot of my own repairs so it s interesting and it is lovely to know what needs to be done next so I can budget for it, too. I cannot recommend Eastside Bavarian highly enough:)

Ken is fantastic to work with. Very straightforward and clear in his approach. It feels as close to having a friend that works on your car as possible. Everyone I have dealt with on the phone and in person at Eastside Bavarian is excellent. I happily entrust my vehicle and would highly recommend to anyone that they bring their car here.P.S. - if they can t help you for ANY reason (tinting, sound systems, tires, detailing, etc.), they also have a deep bench of other professionals to point you to. I have ask for many and each time I mention EB, they all know that Ken sent me.Why are you still reading this? Call them and schedule already!Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Oil change

This was my first time with Bavarian and although the wait to schedule an appointment was about a month, it was well worth it! Ken and the techs on my case were extremely thorough and very expedient in their service. I will be taking my Mini back to Bavarian and would highly recommend !Services: Vehicle Inspection, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Brake service & repair, Oil changeServices: Vehicle Inspection, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Brake service & repair, Oil change

Updating review with more specifics :) The most honest, organized and reputable shop I have ever worked with...and I own a land rover so I have worked with a lot of shops. We take my wife's X3 here and I recommend Eastside to everyone I know with BMWs. Just today they properly diagnosed a subtle shudder under load as a transfer case issue linked to a SB. They could very easily have pushed for a transfer case replacement that runs $5000 (mostly labor as well), but the recommended a $200 flush to see if that resolved the issue (car at 75k miles) and I am happy to report it is fully back to normal. Did we get lucky for now? YES - but this is a great example of a shop going above and beyond to do the right thing and you do not see it. Take your car here. Do it.Service: Transmission

The staff is great, from the service advisors to the mechanics are well trained and knowledgeable.Before the work starts you will have an accurate idea of costs and time.If more problems are discovered they will advise you as to the next steps and let you decide. No pressure, just advice!Just go there!

I have always been happy with Eastside Bavarian's Service. Ken is great with giving details about repairs and cost BEFORE they perform the service. They do a good job of letting your know if there is a delay or when the car is ready. I have always been happy and confident in the repairs they do. Their technicians are well trained and do a great job. If you are in the eastside area and need your BMW, Mini or Audi serviced give them a try.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Ken and his team did a full inspection and while certain immediate repairs had been advised by another BMW certified repair - Eastside thoroughly inspected and recommended waiting another 25-30k miles. We felt this was a very honest assessment with customer first. We will be back for all service on both of our BMW s going forward.Service: Vehicle Inspection

Fast, absolutely painless service. If you drive a German marque, you ll eventually find yourself in need of a friendly independent mechanic. Eastside is mine & I hope they ll be yours, too. Stop paying dealer rates. Also, the shop shuttle is an E39 wagon, which earns major brownie points.

Everyone at Eastside Bavarian was friendly, professional, accommodating, and timely.I have a 2008 Audi TT with 95,000 miles on it. When I brought my car in after hours I received a text that they had received it and moved it inside. I received a text with the diagnostic results including photos. I received a detailed estimate including time required to finish the job and any further recommendations and explanations. My car was complete at on time and at the price I was quoted. Teri and Ken were lovely. I will be back for any further service needs this was an excellent experience.

TL;DR good prices, great peopleMy first BMW went out of warranty recently, and I decided to try out this shop based on how close to home they are, and how many good reviews they have. I am very happy that I did - their oil change price is lower than the dealership, and the service is also excellent.From booking the appointment to picking up my car, it was very easy to communicate with all of the staff members, and ask questions. Everyone was knowledgeable about my car, and where patient about answering the questions I had.I am a very happy customer, and will be sure to return and refer everyone I know.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, Oil change

Dave and Ken at Eastside Bavarian did an excellent job resolving the oil leak problem on my E90 BMW. They also performed a curtesy inspection of the overall condition of my vehicle, shared a detail list of repair and maintenance recommendations. I really appreciated their honesty, professionalism and care they shown during the process. I m very happy to have this experienced and trustworthy auto mechanic specializes in German cars being so close to home. Thank you!Services: Engine repair, Vehicle Inspection, Vehicle safety inspection

Always a great experience from the minute I walk in and the quality of work on my vehicle, when I drive off. It's not the lowest in cost for oil maintenance, though.

This shop has serviced vehicles owned by three members of my family for the past 16 years. They inspired my son to become a professional BMW mechanic (he now teaches auto mechanics) and his goal of owning his own shop someday.They are the ultimate professionals who take good care of your vehicle as well as being masterful communicators of what issues they encounter and potential solutions. If you can't get all the work done at once they triage the problems for you so that you can address them when you are able.No matter how far I live from their shop they will continue to be the first ones I call to take care of my 20 years old BMW.Great shop, great employees, great customer service.Service: Auto maintenance
