Best Place! I have had nothing but the best experience at the Little Garage. I have been driving my 1984 325e for over 12 years and Matt has kept it in perfect condition for me since the day I got it and I have about 200,000 miles on it. Matt's services are so convenient - he has even picked me up at the train station on the way back from NYC so that I can pick up my BMW when it is at his shop being repaired. He always diagnoses the car when I go in and lets me know what I need before he does anything. He knows I am on a budget so he lets me know what needs to be done now (if anything) and what can be done later. I never write reviews, but I read 7/28/11 and 2/27/11 comments below and had to say something - they must be going to a different Little Garage than me, because Matt and the Huntington shop are amazing - and I would never think of going anywhere else!

I use to go to Matt (owner of Little Garage) all the time....when he was honest, humble and less greedy. Over the last year or two - they've been telling me to replace things on my car unrelated to the actual problem which I was having. Not only that, they would quote me on parts and charge them up to 100% more in price than if I were to just go get the parts myself from pelicanparts.com etc. Their hourly rate has also become expensive meanwhile there are plenty of shops with lower rates.
I have stopped going to them and found another BMW specialized mechanic a little further away but more honest, lets me take my own parts there which I purchased for less, and 1/3 less of their hourly rate.

BEWARE!!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. A simple alternator replacement turned into a $1700 job. They told me I needed to replace my radiator because it was leaking. My O2 sensor light went on immediatly after i picked my car up.
Two months later, I went back becuase my alternator was leaking. I asked them to check it and instead they changed my water pump and a whole lot of other parts without even asking my permission. I had the parts checked they changed and they were all in perfect shape. They wanted to charge another $1500 dollars and refused to return my car even though I didn't want them to this additional work. They settled for half of the bill.
I had the car checked by another mechanic and the O2 sensors were fine, they disconnected my o2 sensor so I would go back to have them changed this first time I went there. Real scum bags! They have 36 years in business ripping off the public. WATCH OUT TRUST ME!!! The smallest job will turn into a serious bill I gaurantee it.
P.S. My car is still leaking antifreeze. $2200 later, they changed all the most expensive labor intensive part to up the bill. I found the leak and it is a $17.00 aux fan switch that antifreeze is leaking from.
P.S. They overcharged by aproximately 35% on all the parts. I found all the same exact oem parts for 35% cheaper without even searching around. They are suppose to get the parts cheaper than me, I am not a reatailer. They are banging people out on the work and makeing a killing ripping people off on the parts too! WATCH OUT!!!!

I used The Little Garage for many years until I moved out of state. They became the only shop I trusted to work on my precious BMW320i. Very professional, and knowledgeable about my automobile, Matt and his staff always found a solution to the problems an older machine falls victim to. I wish I had this type of service where I now reside.
