Al's BMW is simply the best place to have a BMW serviced or repaired in Northern Virginia. Al and his sidekick, Nick, are wonderful mechanics and I have trusted them with my BMWs for more than 15 years with no regrets. They do what they say they are going to do and on-time every time. Al's shop is so much more efficient and less-costly than the BMW dealership across the street and, unlike them, he never recommends you do anything that does not need to be done. Al and Nick are always interested in our lives and our family and we surely consider each of them to be personal friends. If you have a BMW (or Mercedes) and need trustworthy, skilled assistance, Al's is the place to go. It is a small shop, but they are huge professionals. Thanks, Al and Nick, for all you do for us.

Went to Al's today for first time. Seems like straight forward honest guy. Had some issues w/ Brake/ABS/Stability control lights coming on after car runs a while. Al said he kept correcting the faults but they reappeared. He told likely DSC control module. Best to take it to BMW he said. No charge for the couple hours he fooled with it. Not sure BMW would have done a freebie. Anyway, seems like a place I will go back to now that I know he is there.

I bought my first mercedes back in early 1990's and asked other attorneys who I can trust as a Iercedes mechanic. I heard many stories, and was not to happy about them. I passed the service station all the time and noticed all the Merdes in the parking lot. So, I stopped and talked to Al. First with my 300E and since thenI have utilized the services of AL's BMW and Mercedes since. Al took care of my 300E till I sold it at over 160,000 miles. Al took care of my 420 SEL Mercedes while it rang up over 260,000 miles. He has taken care of my BMW convertible, and now my S 500 Mercedes for the last four years. Al is as honest as they come- he finds the problem and tells you the costs at the time- no surprises. If it necessary to take it to the dealer, he will let you know. I have trusted him with a 1946 Packard and also now a Rolls Royce. His staff goes out of their way to accomodate customers and make sure everyone is happy. I have sent others to Al and they always tell me that they were both satisfied by the work, the price, and the service. Living in Northern Virginia my whole life, its hard to find a mechanic you can trust and count on his word. Well, I can say that I found Al and I trust him.

Al's professional expertize, attention to detail and "word" makes my life better. I have relied on him since the 1970,s to maintain my autos. I have owned many BMWs and currently have two that as I say to Al .."just treat it like your own" when I leave one for service. I mistakenly used the BMW Dealer on a couple of occassions when I bought a new car and quickly remembered that only Al always completes the repairs on time, at a reasonable cost with a level of personal commitment and dedication that no one else can approach. I have grown to respect him as a professional and a friend in a world that is often too busy to care about a man's word or long term customer service.

I've been using Al's BMW/Mercedes for more then a decade now. Before, I had used some of the "higher end" service centers in the area. The problem was the service never lived up to the price tag. Since I've been using Al's I've always been assured that the value and attention to care were there. That hasn't changed in these tough times. I bring my MB and my wife's 330 here and Im sure that its in good hands.

Thanks Al

I am interested in purchasing 2000 BMW 528i, with sport package. The car has 720000 miles. I would like a full pre-purchase inspection ($99). Questions: What does this inspection covers? I am making the purchase in Fairfax, Va., but I live in Maryland. Is the dealer required to make sure the vehicle passes Maryland inspection? Do I need an appointment for the pre-purchase inspection? Do I bring the vehicle by while I'm test driving or do I inform the dealer that I'm taking it for pre-purchase inspection? Thanks.
