    Friends, all current or past BMW owners, most of them for several vehicles, pointed me toward Bavarian Automotive the first time they saw me in my first Bimmer, a 2007 328xi Coupe. Their recommendations were unanimous -- the BEST place to take a Bimmer for thorough, honest and fairly priced service.

    Following their advice I took the 328xi to Maurice for "catch-up" service, because the prior owner ignored pretty much everything. Maurice had the car a week and got it back to me on the promised day so I could leave for a driving trip to visit family ahead of Christmas.

    Maurice called me in the middle of the trip to inquire whether I was experiencing any issues with the car -- on tiny one because a new PCV valve had been back-ordered and was leaking a tiny bit of oil.

    Maurice told me to return the car to him when convenient and he'd install the new replacement.

    Since, Maurice's shop has gotten all my work -- on the 328xi and now the 2014 435i I traded for back at the end of April.

    Not once have I experienced any issues with these cars after the become Bavarian Automotive clients. If ever I move away from Wichita, I'm going to try to move him with me -- he's that good. Five Stars!

    I'm as hard to please as they come. This place rocks - and they stay very, very busy. Still, Maurice makes time to answer my questions and offer suggestions - even over the phone. When my car goes in his shop, the job is done right and the price is always fair. You will never find a more customer-oriented business man than Maurice. Hats off!

    My family has been using Maurice for almost 10 years now starting with my mom 7 series, then my X5, then my sister's 3. There has never been a problem he couldn't solve on any of these vehicles and is simply the best.

    I recently sold my X5 and began shopping for a new car. I got horrible anxiety at the prospect of having to find a new mechanic so I bought another BMW. As long as Maurice is in business I will drive a BMW, because the though of ever dealing with another mechanic makes me sick to the stomach.

    Use him you won't regret.

    As a 3 Bimmer family we spend a lot of time at Bavarian Automotive. Maurice and his staff are true professionals and have provided the best type and quality of service that I have ever had from an automotive shop! Maurice's customer service skills are exceptional and, although the shop is very busy, he always has time for a quick question or a just a hello. I have lived all over the US and can truly say "this shop is among the best in the country" I will truly miss Maurice and the crew when my time to leave Kansas comes!!

    I purchased by 1987 635CSi in 2003. Maurice and his gang have been my partners in caring for my shark. On two different ocassions, I have pulled up to the shop thinking someting was wrong and Maurice has come out, listened to the car, determined what was wrong, and either gave me a ballpark estimate or, in one example, went back into the shop, picked up some power steering fluid, opened up the system, filled it, bled it off and then showed me how to take care of it myself.

    Since that time, I have moved several hundred miles away but I still call Maurice for advice. I have been so dissatisfied with other repair shops that I learned how to work on my car myself. I even have called Maurice to walk me through a difficult procedure.

    Maurice and the guys are the best. As long as I own my cirrus blue L6, the only persons who will touch her are me and Maurice.

    Maurice and his techs do excellent work with a great attention to detail. Maurice personally drives each car before they are delivered to the customer and makes great strides to keep cost low. The only negative of their shop is that they are BUSY. Appointments are mandatory, and may take some time for the work to be completed.

    I've dealt with Maurice for almost 20 years. He is a true "Master" technician and a true gentleman. Maurice and his staff are always making the maximum effort to solve technical problems while remaining sensitive to my personal needs. If only every business were as attentive to their customers!!! Thanks Maurice!

    I have done business with Maurice for about 5 years and have never been sad. He is a great person to deal with and has gone above and beyond what would normally be expected from a shop. I recomend him to others every opportunity I get.
