Called him to ask about fixing a miss in my 92 750 and he said he cant take on something like that. Apparently he only knows how to work on old BMW's. Someone also commented that he only wants to work on cars that have been well taken care of and have had all their maintenance done. Yeah...that would certainly make it easy, but a REAL mechanic needs to know how to fix a car that has had NO maintenence....

Bill has serviced 3 BMWs for me over the years. He wants customers who care about their cars. If you do, he is the man for the job. If you are looking for cheap repairs or if you are not interested in maintaing your vehicle so it will get outstanding performance, he is not for you.

I miss Wild Bill since moving out of town. Used him exclusively for 4 years. SO much better than Sewickley Put up with the polemics and scolding for not doing this or that, but car always can out completely well and ready to go. I did not find him to be cheap but I always trusted that if he said something was needed, it was needed. In fact, I often requested more be done than he said was necessary. I once consulted him on the purchase of an E38 7 series with 80K on the odometer. Succinctly, he asked me if I were an idiot and WANTED to spend all my money on car repairs. I demurred.

I have had Bill work on my 2002's for many years, always trusting that he will do a great job. He has been the best mechanic for the job. He has good foresight regarding repairs that will benefit my cars long-term. I will remain a loyal customer for as long as he is available to me.

Don't bother wasting your time - he doesn't want the business. Says this is his slow time - two week wait - but won't schedule you, because he wants to be available for his other customers. Not exactly a nice guy about it either. If you're not an existing customer he doesn't want to talk to you - I appreciate the loyalty to client base, but why have a web site/phone book listings/etc if you don't want new customers.

I was given a huge estimate by a BMW dealer and Bill did it for 1/3 of the cost!! Many items BMW suggested were not needed. He is terrific!
