For those with an unnatural love for their BMW, this is your garage. You won't meet people more knowledgeable or enthusiastic about BMWs than Brian and Brandon. I'd give them 6 stars if I could!

Excellent service. The most professional and well run shop I've ever dealt with. My BMW was handled quickly and efficiently. Every aspect of the repairs and the car itself was explained in detail. No question I had was too small for a thorough and well thought out explanation. This will be my shop of choice for the life of this vehicle. I cannot recommend Inline Autoworks enough.

Great service place. More trustworthy than the dealer (from experience). They will talk to you about what is going on. Talk to you about their love of BMWs. Talk to you you about your options on what is the right move for your car. And they will keep you're car running forever of you want it.

These people know what they are doing and identify issues that standard dealerships can miss. Also, when there is a problem, they investigate all possible causes before picking (and charging you for) a solution. In my particular case, they brought back to good shape a BMW for which the dealer wanted to offer me $2000!

While they are not cheap, the benefit to cost ratio beats anything I tried before. I am definitely sticking to using Inline as long as they stay in business and I have a BMW in my garage.

From post-purchase inspection and for the last 60K miles, Brian and Brandon at Inline Autoworks have kept my 'forever' vehicle in top shape. They will carefully monitor any issues from visit to visit and consult and when (or when to wait) on any issues large or small. Trusted them to replace the turbos and do any major or minor work. Twice when I have to go to the dealer because it's closer it has been a day-mare--and Brian and Brandon have gone back in to straighten out the dealer's work.

I'm already a BMW owner from out of state, and I depend on my trustworthy local independent BMW shop to be the only ones who touch my car. I needed a pre-purchase inspection on a 2005 330Ci-ZHP for sale locally to make sure it was a good as it looked. Read the Inline Autoworks reviews and they looked like the go-to place for BMWs in the area. What an understatement. Brian and Brandon are amazing. They gave me the peace of mine to buy it with an extremely unbiased and thorough 100% analysis on every inch of the car, explaining the plus and minuses in great detail and why. They are friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I know if I lived in this area, they'd have all my businesses. My advice is give em a shot with yours, I don't think you'll disagree

I have taken my car to Inline Autoworks numerous times over the years, and have gotten nothing but incredible customer service. They are truly awesome at what they do, and are highly skilled in everything BMW over at Inline. Anyone, from a purist to your average driver will be very satisfied with the work Brian and his team do here. 5 Stars

I brought my 2000 540is to Brian at a real crossroads with the car. Having owned several BMWs over the past 30 years including a '71 3.0CS, a '74 2002 tii and a '77 320i I knew how fickle aging BMWs can be and how difficult it was to find and trust a mechanic to service these cars properly - but this was the best car I've ever owned and I was determined to return it to top form and drive it for many years to come. Brian picked up on this right away and without hesitation offered to take the car for a couple weeks to go through it and then give me his honest evaluation - right away you could tell his level of knowledge, enthusiasm and ability to relate to drivers was unparalleled - and he, Brandon and Rueben backed it up with exceptional customer service and outstanding work. I spent a considerable amount of money getting the car back into top form (but probably half of dealer prices) and the results truly exceeded expectations. The car is more responsive in every respect. In fact, I'd challenge anyone to find a 540is that runs better than this one. Thank you Brian and Inline Autoworks for a great experience and for putting me back in the driver's seat of one of the best and most fun cars BMW has ever made.

Fantastic experience every time I visit. Brian, Brandon and the crew are excellent...they really care about you and the work they do. I highly recommend Inline Autoworks to everyone I speak to who owns or is thinking of owning a BMW. Great job, Inline!

I first took the car in (after I bought it) to Inline Autoworks to have them do an after-buy analysis. Since then we have been working on the list. Last week they replaced the front suspension thrust arm bushings and rebalanced and aligned the wheels. The car feels brand new. Excellent for a car which will celebrate her 100,000 mile birthday. There is more work to complete but I feel confident Brian and Brandon will do the jobs correctly the first time. In addition they are very consumer oriented and take the time to explain everything they need to do and will answer all questions (this seldom happens if you are a woman and it is an extremely welcome surprise:-)

I recently purchased an e39, knowing it would need a few things. I am mechanically inclined, but being my first BMW, I wanted an expert to look over the car and prioritize areas of concerns, as well as identify items I would have overlooked. So when it was time for an oil change service, I dropped the car off with Brian, knowing it would be in good hands for this service and a once over of the vehicle.

On top of identifying things I already knew were to be problematic, Brian went through everything he found step by step with me when I came to collect my vehicle. Even questions I had after the fact, he answered, taking the time to walk back out to the car and point everything out visually and explaining in detail.

I cannot say enough about the professionalism Brian embodies, as well as the enthusiasm he has for these vehicles. You can drop your car off knowing that he will treat it as if it were his own pride and joy. You will not get the run-around from Inline Autoworks. If you're taking your used (or new) BMW elsewhere: you're taking it to the wrong place!

I recently purchased a used E90 335xi from a BMW dealer expecting a mechanically sound car. I took the car to Inline Autoworks to create a baseline to assist in establishing future maintenance. A coworker recommended Brian at Inline Autoworks because of the excellent service he received during a post purchase inspection on his 530. Once Inline looked over my car they found a few issues; an oil leak, power steering fluid leak, and the notorious turbo rattle. Repairing all of the issues amounted to a large quote. Luckily my 335xi still had the used car warranty coverage so I brought it back to the dealer for service. Initially, the BMW dealer appeared reluctant to perform any of the repair work. BMW even told me the turbos normally exhibit the rattling noise and claimed they could not find the power steering fluid leak. I kept Brian at Inline informed about my progress with BMW and he coached me through the experience. He came off as genuine and went the extra mile explaining the issues to me so I could effectively communicate to BMW. Ultimately, BMW owned up to the issues by fixing the leaks and replaced the turbos with brand new ones.

I intend to continue bringing my 335xi to Inline for future maintenance rather than the dealer because I can trust his assessments and that he has my interests in mind, not just the money.

Additionally, I recommend having Inline inspect any used BMWs, even CPOs, you are interested in before you purchase one. I expected to have a clean car buying it from a franchised BMW dealer, but the only way to confirm the car is clean is by having a professional look it over. Having Inline look over my 335xi resulted in a great investment for the life of the car. Thanks.

I have never been happier with anyone EVER working on any of my vehicles! My 2003 Z 4 was purchased 2 years ago and I never really felt connected with it until I was referred to Brian the owner of Inline Autoworks. Seriously he took the time and the patience to answer all my concerns and I am now having the pleasure of enjoying this ride. He is meticulous and an intense mechanic! This car rides like a dream! Thank you Brian! The Z GRAY is very happy too!

Brian and Inline Autoworks saved my life (literally)! I had been taking my BMW to Iinline Autoworks religiously since I bought it for service and maintenance. Brian from the very beginning let me know what parts were good, what I would need to replace, and what I would soon need to replace since my first BMW Service Inspection I with him. So there were never any surprises when there would be something going wrong or about to go wrong. So I wasn't surprised when I was having a problem with my front control arms. My only dilemma was that I had to go out of state for a wedding within the next couple of days and needed the repair done quickly. So going against my own intuition I took my vehicle to a franchised repair facility and had them do the control arms and the other required from suspension work as they could get it done within a few hours the following day. Since the work I had problems with the steering and loose handling of the car. As soon as possible I took the car down to Inline Autoworks and Brian discovered that the job was completely botched and I was very close to losing control of the steering and getting myself killed and possibly others. Long story short Brian helped every step of the way in getting this problem resolved with the other repair facility with advice and other help. I really can't say enough. I will never take my BMW to another repair shop, even a dealer. I can't imagine it being in better hands. From the time the car goes into his shop the first time for maintenance or a repair he knows everything that is worn on it and may need immediate service or need service soon. He's professional and does a great job from the get-go with genuine OE BMW parts (down to light bulbs and fluids). His prices are reasonable; much cheaper than the local dealership and I firmly believe I get a better job than I would at the dealership. I would advise anyone that if you have a BMW that is beyond its' free maintenance period that you should start going to Inline Autoworks. I've never had a better mechanic no matter what vehicle I've driven or what part of the country I've lived in. Anyone in Southeastern Connecticut is lucky because we are truly blessed with the best.

Can't say enough positive about Brian and Inline Autoworks. Detail oriented. Value oriented. Wants results to be perfect and appropriate. Extremely knowledgeable, but not a know-it-all. Actually invites you to look at everything he's found and usually explains all your options. Shop is clean and well-organized.

Brian is the best of the best in CT. He is the owner, the mechanic, the receptionist et al. and this is my favorite part about Inline Autoworks. He knows you and he knows your car, start to finish. To top it all off he is 40-50% cheaper than any dealership out there. I first met him after a local dealership quoted me ~$4k for "repairs" they discovered during a routine oil change. I took my car to Brian and he gave it to me straight. The dealer was right about some things but not all. Needless to say the $4k was drastically reduced and I left feeling confident that my car was in the best shape possible.

I've been taking my 330i zhp to Brian at Inline Autoworks for years, he does great work and is super detail-oriented. He's saved me lots of money in maintenance because he's honest and knowledgeable. If you're particular about your car and the quality of work done on it, bring it to him.
