I recently had an issue that I was ill equipped to handle since I am only in the New Orleans area for a short time and don't have most of my tools with me. I like to work on my car myself, partly because I enjoy it and partly because I don't trust most garages. I also don't care for the fleecing you get at most dealerships. I reluctantly took my car to BimmerWerks since it was near where I am staying. I am happy to say that things turned out very well. Jim and Logan were very personable and knowledgeable, and they handled my M3 with great care. They spotted the issue quickly, ordered the necessary parts, and got me back on the road as quickly as one could expect. To say they were reasonable with the price would be an understatement. I rarely write reviews, but they certainly deserve some good press. I highly recommend them. If I need work done again in the future, they will be the first place I will call.

Due to economy and the prices that I received at Bimmer Werks, I can now afford my bmw 330 I. It makes me smile to know, there are still some very old fashioned shops, with great people, in this area. You don't have to take my word for it, try it for yourself. My your experience be great, and your pocket be heavy, when you leave.

I have trusted Jim and Logan with the car my seventeen year old son drives. I am a Lawyer. Need I say more.

About a year or so ago, I talked to Jim Wheeler on the phone & he was very kind & nice. He told me the reason he got in this business because their was not any honest BMW auto mechanic.Jim told me how all the others BMW mechanic repair shop & dealer will rip you off 7 they not be honest with you. I said wow this person I want to do business with. He asked me what kind of problem do I have? I explained it to him, so he said he know what the problem is. He asked me to bring the car in so can have his son Logan to look at it.They said wow this is the first time we have seen a car at the shop with low miles like this. I did some reseach via internet about the problem I was having with the car before I took it to Bimmer Werks.I found my problem but I said I want to see if he was going to say the same. I sat down in the office talking with Jim he was very nice & friendly. After Logan checked the car out, Jim has a long list of things on the estimate sheet they faxed me the estimate the cost was well over $3,000. He said I have an oil leak so the valve cover gasket need to be change & I told him I just had that repaired about 3 or 4 months ago.So he said whoever did the work did not do it right. he said the intake manifold gaskets is leaking all the orings & gaskets need to be change, he said I need a new valley pan and a whole lot of others things.I said to myself for some reason I don't belive him because the car only had about 38,000 miles. About two months later I called
Bimmer Werks I asked to speak to Jim, Logan answer the phone I explain to him who I was, mention to him I'm the person who came in with the low miles, he said yeah I remeber who you are, I told him I will like to set up a appointment to get the intake manifold repair, Logan said I will give his dad (Jim) the message, I gave him my cell number. I waited about a few weeks later no return call, I called again this time the young lady answer the phone, I told her the same thing I told Logan, she said I will give Jim the message. I waited a few weeks then I called back about 3 time & this time they did not answer, I guest they have caller ID so my call was ignore because I think he knew he was not telling me the truth & I did not act fast enough to get my car repair by Bimmer Werks. Before I went to Bimmer Werks I read all these good response about this business. Well my car has been repaired by a real honest person. I did had a oil leak but it not coming from the valve cover gasks, I just replaced the Oil Cap $5.00 and the Intake Manifold gaskets was fine nothing was not wrong with those gaskets & also the Valley pan was good,My problem as the profile gasket only $5.00 my machanic told me this guy Jim at Bimmer Werks was not being honest, Jim is out to make some money, which nothing wrong with that but Jim lied to me which is not good for business. Bimmer Werks is a RIPP OFF! All I asked for is to be honest with me & everyone else.

So much better than the local BMW dealership. If I buy another Bimmer, it would be because of the service and support I can get from these guys, not the dealer. It is hard to find professionals who love what they do and do it with your hard earned money in mind. Mr. Jim and Logan treated me as if they knew me, not just another invoice payee. I've worked in R.V. service for fourteen years. I know good service and this is it. Its obivious their in the buisness because they love Bimmers. Check them out. Bring a notebook, you are going to get a lot of free info about your vehicle from these guys. Hey, these guys even hold on to faulty parts and fluids from vehicle they have serviced to show you what to look out for on your car. It gets no better than that.

What a wonderful experience it was to have my car repaired & serviced at this shop. I cannot say enough about how refreshing it was to deal with honest and extremely knowledgable folks. Jim Wheeler and Logan are the best and this is the ONLY shop you should consider taking your BMW to in NOLA. You simply won't get this level of service, interaction and honesty from anyone else (especially the dealer). All these reviews are spot on. BimmerWerks is the BEST!!!

Can't say enough good things about the experience I've had dealing with Jim and Logan. They know their stuff and will throw far more helpful information then my non-mechanical mind can process. Labor rates are great and he'll tell you what you need to replace now and a year from now so you can plan out. He can also help finding a BMW out of state and ensuring that you get a proper mechanical inspection prior to purchase.
Bottom line, these guys love BMW's and when you love something, you're good at it. They take care of your car as they would their own. And Jim's always got a good story or something to show you when you come in. You get treated more like a friend then a customer and definitely not just an invoice worked on by a faceless technician like at the dealership.

Mr. Jim and Logan are absolutely wonderful! They are personable, friendly, down-to-earth, and just plain nice guys! They explain exactly what's wrong in simple terms so that you can understand. They offer honest opinions for what is needed now, what's needed soon, and what's needed in the future. They also offer fair, reasonable prices that are far better than other BMW repair shops around here. We came to Bimmerwerks upon the recommendation of a friend and will definitely recommend to anyone else we know that has a BMW. We are glad to find someone we can trust with our vehicle and now we won't go anywhere else. We couldn't be more pleased with Bimmerwerks and can't thank them enough for their outstanding service. If you need your BMW fixed, this is the place to go!

It is so hard to find a honest vehicle repair shop (especially a LUXURY vehicle repair shop.) Jim and Logan Wheeler and the Bimmerwerks team are top notch. I did not feel like "just another customer" when it came to Bimmerwerks. Jim and his team diagonsis and explained step by step what was to be repaired and why. The cost was 5,000 less than the 1st repair company that diagnosis my vehicle. You will not regret getting your vehicle repaired at Bimmerwerks. MY WIFE AND I ARE CUSTOMERS FOR LIFE!!!

I first started going to Jim at BimmerWerks on the recommendation of my family-friend mechanic upon buying a BMW. I'be gone to him for everything related to my car since. From oil weights to the origin of the recycled plastic that BMW used on my radiator caps, the guy knows every nut and bolt on any BMW you can throw at him. Cheaper than the local dealer on labor and parts, he has been amazing for those times when I just need a simple trim piece that I can install myself, all the way up to those frantic phone calls asking what to do about smoke billowing from my hood. Service is always prompt, and estimates are usually spot on, if not a bit higher than the actual price when everything is said and done. Definitely recommended to anyone who owns a BMW!

BimmerWerks! That's it: the Bimmer works again, thanks to Jim, Logan and the entire BimmerWerks crew. They are prompt and serious, the prices and work are carefully explained ahead of time, and the overall ambiance is thoughtful and unusually focused on the customer's needs. The lagniappe: Jim's truly great stories about everything from shipping to the local scoundrels.

Great Service, Very fair prices. Jim Wheeler had my car ready when it was promised at less than the original quote. No last minute surprises. I was pretty spoiled by my Indie shop in DFW but, no worries after finding Bimmerwerks. Jim and his staff are very professional. I thought the other reviews were just blowing smoke but, they aren't exaggerating.

This establishment offers top quality service, period. From the owner on down to the personnel, this is a friendly, professional group. I consider myself lucky to have these guys helping me with the care of my automobile, and I would recommend this shop to anyone, with no reservations.

Jim Wheeler is the best BMW tech in town. This guy knows his stuff. Diagnosed my car after another tech had called it "a junker" and had it running within a week. They will diagnose every problem and tell you what you need today, tommorow, and a year from now to give you the ability to figure your repair costs. Really can't recommend them enough. My BMW's will go nowhere else.

Just moved to New Orleans from Boston, so I needed a new, legitimate, BMW shop. BimmerWerks run by Jim is the best. I drove past it the first time I brought my car to him because the place is so nonchalant (no frills, just honest car care). The staff at BimmerWerks are friendly, helpful, extremely knowledgeable, love BMWs, and will go out their way to help you keep your bimmer in tip-top shape (at a reasonable price, no less). Bring your BMW to BimmerWerks!
