    After receiving an inflated quote from a BMW dealership, I called 2 repair shops and both told me by phone that it was unlikely that I needed the amount of work recommended given the low mileage on my car. After evaluating my car, Beamer Auto determined their were only 2 things my car really needed and only 1 that had to be done urgently. A $5000 quote went to $300. In addition, Beamer Auto fit me in the very next morning after I explained that I had to take a long car ride for work and I was done in an hour. Fair, professional. They even took the time to show me exactly what the issues were with my car and explain why some of the BMW dealerships recommendations weren't necessary. I will be back.

    After googling BMW shops in the DMV, I came across a site (bimmershops.com), immedieately I noticed Beamer Auto because of it's 5 start ratings from 32 reviews, unheard of right? NOPE, I was going to take my car to another shop in Ft. Washington however they would not accommodate my needs, all I needed was a ride to the metro and they would not give me one, they choose to loose a 700 deal because of it. This is when I found Beamer Auto. I spoke with Aaron, who was great I asked if they could put a new clutch in my car of which I already had the brand new part, I also asked if someone would be willing to drop me off at the metro because no one could follow me to drop my car off, Aaron said yes no problem. Not only did Aaron drop me off, he said that if I gave him an estimate from the other shop they would match my price, well they beat the 7xx.00 price as well as honored there sites 10% off. They are VERY professional, curtious, respectful and FAST, they called the next day to tell me my car was ready, less than 24hrs. They also reset my brake light . I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND Beamer Auto ABOVE any other shop I've ever take my car to. Thank you Beamer Auto....

    I took my car to Rockville BMW to get a lightbulb replaced. The service guy called me with total charges of 505.00 parts and labor.. They tried to get me.. Plain and simple. Took it to you guys for the bulb and labor 63.00 and out the door in 15 min. I appreciate honesty, integrity and great service. I only took my car to BMW for service. Your reviewers, service and great pricing did it. I'm a new full time customer.

    Today I went into Beamer Auto to have my battery changed. But much to my pleasure we didn't need to replace it. However, the integrity of Kevin and Aaron would allow them to sell me something I didn't need. They have found a loyal customer from this point on.

    Kevin and his crew are the best. I first went to Kevin when he first started and he has expanded his operation. No surprise to me based on the quality and value of the service received everytime. I've been several times and so has my brother. I can't say enough about the integrity of the people and the quality of the service provided. If you are taking your car to the dealer for service you need to consider these guys first.

    Aaron and Kevin provided an excellent customer service experience for my 2006 X5 4.4i. They saved me nearly $1000 on a major engine repair (valve/timing cover gaskets, etc.) for my car and to maximize my experience they discovered a wiring issue with my HVAC compressor and was able to repair at no additional cost!

    My days of going BMW dealerships and service centers are over! I will look no further than Beamer Auto for my next servicing!

    I had to get the motor for the convertible soft top renewed. The dealer gave me a quote of 1900$. I went to Beamer Auto after reading all the reviews. Aaron gave me a quote of 1300$. The job was done as per the time allotted & well. Aaron was excellent. He saved me 600$ and came in right on the quoted amount. I would take my BMW there in a heartbeat the next time. These guys are good & don't over charge. I can finally enjoy the summer with the hood down.

    Beamer Auto does exceptional work, and the service and repair prices are reasonable. I purchased my car two years ago, and Beamer Auto always performs my warranty work. I highly recommend their services if you have issues with your vehicle. The staff has always been able to determine what's wrong with my vehicle - even when the BMW dealerships can't.

    Awesome group of people...I called Kevin on a Tuesday to see if he can fit me in Wednesday morning to replace my front & rear brakes and sensors...He said sure come on in...I get there right around 9am when they open and was greeted by Aaron who asked if I was the guy Kevin advised him about that was getting brakes replaced...Right there is great communication between the owner and his mechanics!...Anyway, Aaron (the mechanic) took care of me and was very courtesy and answered any questions I had...He had me in & out of there in no time!...

    Much thanks to Kevin for squeezing me in on short notice...Thanks to Aaron for working on my car!..And thanks to Ton for setting me up in your system and assisting me with the payment...With the savings you get compared to going to a dealership, this was a service bill I didn't mind paying!..LOL!..

    Thanks so much guys!...You have a future customer right here!..

    I am so glad that I found this place! The AC in my truck went out and I took it to Passport in Marlow Heights for an estimate. Not only did they want close to $300 for the repair, but they informed me that the wait was going to be 4 hours long! I did a google search for an alternative and Beamer came up. I took my truck in and they charged me half what Passport wanted and there was no wait! I am now a loyal customer and have no intent of going anywhere else to have my truck serviced.

    I called Beamer Auto after reading the extensive positive reviews on bimmershops.com. To my surprise, Kevin (the guy everyone raves about in their reviews) answered the phone and immediately began answering my questions and advising on the best course of action to take regarding my vehicle! When explaining the information given to me by the dealer (replacing oil pan gasket), he told me that their suggestions were accurate, but not as urgent as implied. He explained what was really going on and what to look for when detailed with the problem described. He said he'd love to work on my vehicle, but it wasn't necessary yet! What a standup guy to turn down unnecessary business! I'm very relieved to find a shop with someone who looks out for their customers instead of their pockets. Kevin has earned a new customer without realizing! I can't wait to refer people to Beamer Auto!

    I have been a BMW owner for about 19 years and have always taken my vehicles to the dealer for service. I recently took my 2004 BMW 525I to BMW Alexandria for some repairs. After spending 1400 dollars I was advised that I needed to replace the mechatronics module and that repair would cost $5200. I weighed the repair costs with the value of the car and decided to try a local repair shop instead. I selected Kevin’s shop after reading the many positive reviews online. Kevin looked over my vehicle and assessed that I didn’t need a new mechatronics module but instead needed an appropriate battery. My vehicle apparently had an after-market battery installed from my purchaser (I purchased the vehicle used back in 2008). Instead of spending several thousand dollars, I spent a few hundred dollars and my BMW 525i is working like a charm. The customer service was excellent and I will definitely use Beamer Auto for future maintenance.

    Pleasantly surprised! I selected this shop to perform regular maintenance on my vehicle as an alternative to the long wait and inflated pricing at the dealership. I was a little hesitant initially since I didn't choose it based on a personal recommendation, but based on an online search. After reading the comments of other satisfied customers I decided to give it a try - I’m glad I did. I only had regular maintenance performed but this will certainly be my shop for any future repair or maintenance. While there, I observed first hand, Kevin's interaction with other customers; he was attentive, mindful of their time, and seemed to be a genuinely honest person (that knows what he's doing). Not to mention his follow-up after the repairs are done. A true sign of customer satisfaction at its best is a repair shop that ensures a customer is content with a repair well after they leave the shop!

    Very very happy with Beamer Auto. It's difficult to find someone to work on a BMW who won't quote you outrageous prices for minor work. My last Z ended up being totaled after an accident, but I already bought a new one and will be bringing it to Beamer Auto for all of its maintenance. They were very patient with me as I dealt with the insurance company (on my last Z) and often finished work faster than they initially estimated.

    I dropped off my BMW 745 for normal but major repairs. It was repaired for a fraction of the cost with dealer results. The estimated repair date was exact with no hidden cost once they received my car for repairs. The customer service was superb, Kevin was in touch with me and informed me of the repair progress as it was completed. I have found a new repair shop for my vehicle, one that I trust.

    Beamer Auto is a great business with a hard-working and very honest owner. I have in the past gone to jiffy lube and other body shops to get oil changes and work done on my car, however never really felt a genuine feeling that the mechanic was looking out for my best interests and my car's best interest at heart. Kevin at Beamer auto however looks after my best interests and my car's best interest at heart. I feel like Im not getting screwed over with prices or the quality of the work done on my car. I am always 110% satisfied after my car is inspected and fixed. I plan to be and stay a permanent customer!!

    PS- I have a Hyundai Elantra!! that is spoiled with quailty BMW and MER specialist treatment by a factory trained technician! So anyone who does not have a BMW and Mercedes should not hesitate to take their cars in to Beamer Auto.

    Whats so kool about this shop is, you can have your car serviced after your 9-5... by a factory trained tech, that beats dealer pricing. I was skeptical at first, you know you don't want just anybody working on your bimmer...so I had Kevin do a small job first...flush the brake system.....done and in no time ....wait and cost, minimal......excellent.....and like the terminator.....I'll Be Back.

    Kevin is the best!!! Friendly service, very knowledgable, and affordable. I have a 2001 530i, with over 118,000 miles. The price Passport Marlow Heights quoted me was way beyond what would pay for the service I needed. I'm so happy that I went to his shop for my repairs. I needed a window regulator and two belts replaced. No presssure to get things repaired that aren't really needed. I saved a ton of money. Keep up the good work. You a satisfied customer and I will be using him now for anymore needed repairs. Way to go!!!

    The seat belt and airbag warning lights came on in my car. I previously had taken my car to the BMW dealer to have it serviced for the same warning light problem. The mechanic said this was a recall item. He repaired the problem but the light returned a couple of months later. I took my car back to the dealer and he indicated that it was now a different problem. I asked that they look at it again and they said the same thing, I took my car to Bea Mer Auto and Kevin conducted a diagnostic check of my warning light system and found that my warning light system was reacting as if I had had an accident. I know I hadn't had an accident so he reset all of my warning lights. The warning light has not returned. The dealer wanted me to pay a large amount of money for something that wasn't wrong. Kevin found the problem and the price was reasonable. The service here was great, the atmosphere was friendly, and Kevin is very knowledgeable.

    Their customer service was above and beyond. I'm completely satisfied with experience at Beamer auto.

    After multiple bmw dealer visits for a check engine light concern. Dealer quoted me an outrageous price for repair. Researching bmw shops in Clinton, Maryland area for second opinion, i found a bmw specialty shop through bimmershops.com

    Dropped off my vehicle to bea mer auto. Next day Kevin gave me a detailed explanation and estimate for the check engine light repair.

    Its been over 2000 miles since i last visited them with check engine light, no problems with repairs yet. Very satisfied with price of repair and quality of work performed by them.
