Look. How many times have you ever been compelled to relate a positive experience with a mechanic? These guys inspire a fanatic level of devotion. When last I was at the shop, I saw a mini come off a flatbed from Las Vegas bc the owner specifically wanted it to be in the capable hands of Billy, Michael, and Mark.

Put simply, You would be hard pressed to find anyone who can do a better job, anywhere. These gentlemen are the absolute best at what they do and great, great people besides. Their labor rate is in keeping with anyone who is actually competent to work on the types of cars that they specialize in and the level on personal detail and attention is unparalleled. Try taking your e46 to BMW manhattan and getting one of the service techs to road test it with you...yea...not gonna happen... This is the first thing Billy does when you bring your car in. Also, the turnaround is ridiculously fast. Each time I've taken my car in, I've had it back exactly when they said it would be done.

I'll preach the gospel for these guys and will never take my car anywhere else again

I am by no means a car person and feel a warm glow simply by figuring out how to open the hood. So as you can imagine I am very wary of being ripped of or taken for a ride by a mechanic because everyone knows somebody who was victim to a dishonest mechanic

I'm new to the city and found these guys by searching on yelp.

I took my Audi A4 there because on an issue with the power steering. From the moment I walked in and greeted Michael and his father I felt like I came to the right place, and now that the work has been done- I'm still convinced of it.

They were fast and even paid for my cab to the subway the day I brought it in! They were fairly priced and were very patient in explaining to me all the intricacies of the problem I was having and now I actually feel like I've grown a couple of chest hairs from that butch manly knowledge.

It was a schlep for me to get over there from Hamilton Heights but it was well worth the trip and I will be going back the next time I need to (which i hope is not any time soon).

5 Stars easy.

There's nothing quite as horrifying as tooling along at 70 in the fast lane during a downpour and having the wipers stop. The windshield is covered in water within two seconds and you're left fumbling for the emergency flashers while you decelerate and pull over.

The first time I brought my '97 528i to L&M, Bill told me he could fix my wiper problem, even though BMW told me they put four mechanics on it and couldn't. But when I went to demonstrate the wonky wipers, of course they worked just fine. Bill told me to come back when they broke again.

Well, I only drive the car on weekends, and it doesn't rain all that much so a couple of years have gone by. With the recent rains, I took the car in and spent almost a grand to get rid of this problem forever. Bill and his boys stand behind their work, and they're quite good at it. There are enough testaments on Citisearch to prove that.

Thanks guys!

Look. How many times have you ever been compelled to relate a positive experience with a mechanic? I'm not the only person that has specifically created a citysearch acct to do exactly that, read down the comments... These guys inspire a fanatic level of devotion.

L&M just does everything right. It is family owned and operated, and you can tell. I dealt with Michael, Bill's son, and then also Bill when Michael went away for a week. Both people were exceptional. They provided great clarity and have very specific and thorough communication. Every single element they were going to work on was thoroughly communicated -- I knew exactly what I was getting into. Service was fast and they were able to make a tight deadline that I had to reach.

When I picked up my car Bill was so proud of the work they had done that he kept asking me over and over how I liked it. That is the main thing that differentiates L&M and Bill and his family -- they take legitimate pride in the work that they are do, and they are master mechanics.

There is only one fault I see with the place, and that's the location. It's tough to get to -- particularly if you don't have a car. But when I dropped my car off they paid for a cab to the subway, which made it a bit easier. But I can't express enough how worth the trip it is.

Really, if you have a German car that you care about and live in the New York area this is the place to go -- hands down.

L&M was recommended strongly by a friend, so we decided to give it a go, even though it was a bit of a haul to get there.

I had some major work here (the equivalent of car heart surgery) and they were very clear about every aspect of it. I'm the type of person that wants to understand how everything works and they were able to answer all questions in great detail.

Can I also say that it's really nice to walk into a garage and have someone greet you in a friendly way and shake your hand? So much nicer than the usual garage routine where you stand around awkwardly, waiting for someone to acknowledge your presence.

I would give this place 5 stars, but it's just a real pain to get to. Note- they will pay for your cab to get to the subway station.
