Great service! My car wouldn't start to go to work and I was able to get in and out with a new battery faster than I expected. Made a stressful experience much better.

I’m so glad I found DTA Automotive. Alex was extremely helpful and got my X3 up and running perfectly in two days after being at another shop for weeks and still they couldn’t figure it out. Thanks DTA.

I stopped by DTA Automotive almost 2 years ago after buying a used BMW and spoke with Alex to get to know a little about his Shop and what he can or cannot do. I for years have passed his shop daily and always noticed BMW and Audi's on his lot. The guy was absolutely just a Great Guy to speak too. I'm not a mechanic by trade however have a great deal of hands on so it made for great conversation. I told Alex eventually I'd be back to have him do a few things on my car. I finally got around to do so and both times I've had him inspect and work on my car was absolutely the best experience ever. He's extremely competitive and most definitely knows his BMW's. I'll bring all my cars to Alex whenever a shop visit is required. hands down 5 out 5 Star shop.

Thanks Alex!!!

These guys are great, not only were they able to figured out my lack of power issue but they also found some items that they discovered should have been covered by BMW.

They contacted the dealer for me and coordinated my warranty work with them while I was on vacation. I didn't have to do anything. Talk about excellent service. I highly recommend DTA Automotive.

Awesome service. Very helpful and explained everything in detail. Fair price and done on time. DTA Automotive is now my Go-To shop for both my 330Ci and the X5.

Great Service! I stopped going to the BMW Roxbury Dealership due to some messed up things that happened and how the mechanics basically screwed up my car all the time just so id come back for more service. I googled bmw service in NJ and found DTA Automotive that was rated really high. Ive gone twice, once for a seal belt sign indicator and now a water pump replacement for my 2006 BMW 325i. The dealership asked for $2500 for the waterpump and Al the owner did it for $1000 and got it done in one day! He is really nice and down to earth guy. Really honest and he always calls you with updates! His lot is full of BMW's because he specializes in the them and even has the computer system for BMW's. Definitely recommended for any BMW 325i owners looking to avoid dealer costs. You'll have your car in good hands. I don't usually write reviews but i think this shop definitely deserves one. (FYI this shop is only open on weekdays not weekends, only down side) But its not far from Randolph where i live and its literally right past Budd Lake, 2 feet away. Outstanding honest guy, i just wish i chose to go there earlier so i would have saved so much money from that bad roxbury bmw dealership. If you're out of the BMW warranty this is definitely the place to go

Took my car to DTA Automotive for service and once with oil leak.Since I live hour away and had to leave the car overnight Alex was very help full with getting a rental vehicle. If you need to wait for few hours they will drop you at local library. I trust Alex with my BMW and will take it back if needed.

I was hearing a noise coming from my car and I took it to the dealer. The estimate I got was outrageous (it was out of warranty). After talking to a friend of mine at work about it he told me about DTA Automotive.

I took my car to him and to be honest I was a little apprehensive. The shop is small and not well kept. He has two dogs (I'm scared of dogs). But they were super friendly and very well trained. But they came highly recommended.

Alex, check my car out and came up with the same diagnosis as the dealer. And his estimate was half as much. He had my car fixed the next day and she runs and sounds great.

Alex also took the time to show me how to work and navigate through the on-board computer of my car. Great personal service.

After having been to the dealer, DTA Automotive is a breath of fresh air. They are a small shop, but I was impressed with his professionalism and personal service. And most importantly the price. In just the last two visits alone I must have saved like $500.

I have been going to DTA Automotive for years. Alex, the owner, has always been pleasant to deal with and always made me feel at ease with his work. Recently I was 2 hours from home and my car started to overheat. I called Alex not realizing it was 10 at night. When he answered the phone I was so relieved. He talked me through on what to do so that I could get home safely. How many shops are there for you at 10pm!

I went to DTA on the recommendation of a coworker because I was sick of the dealer. I had taken my 330xi to them 3 times for the same problem. And each time they charged me for looking at it. DTA figured out the problem, it was fixed in 2 days and running like new. No more dealer for me.

These guys are great. I was so used to taking my car to the BMW dealer. I never left there paying less than $2000k. DTA fixed my problem that the dealer was going to charge me $3200 for almost half as much. They gave me a ride home and had me fixed by the next day. They're a small shop but offer big value.

I recently moved to the area and when my 330xi started acting up I was pretty apprehensive to take it to a local shop and taking it to the dealer made my wallet nervous. I asked my neighbor, who also has a BMW where he took his for service and without hesitation he praised DTA for their honesty and great service.

So on their recommendation, I took it to DTA and Alex made me feel at ease and confident in his abilities. My car was done within a day and is running great again.

I almost didn't go to DTA because their estimate over the phone was only slightly less than the dealer quote. But they were the only ones that I felt comfortable with. When I picked up my car to my surprise it was cheaper than the estimate. No my car runs great and I saved money. I'll be going back.

At first, you might think these guys provide competitive quotes, however, their prices are as high as the dealer. I could not recommend them.

After my last "routine maintenance" at the dealer where they found $3200 worth of work, I decided look for a replacement shop. I only had 76k miles at the time. After speaking to several shop owners over the phone, Alex from DTA was the only one that I instantly felt comfortable with.

They checked my car over and surprise, surprise, I only needed half the stuff the dealer said and my bill was only $482. I am so happy I found them.

Recently DTA changed my waterpump because I overheated. This was my first BMW and I bought it used. I thought the repair wasn't too expensive.

The reason I write this is that my neighbor with the same car went to the dealer for the same problem. They replaced the water pump. They did the same work that DTA did on my car, but the dealer was almost twice as much.

If you have a BMW you should take it to DTA.

As a single woman I never felt comfortable going to local repair shops. They either pressured me or made me feel like they didn't know what they were doing.

When I got relocated to Flanders I didn't know where to go, I checked online and asked neighbors and DTA Automotive kept coming up.

After getting a quote from Roxbury BMW for my brakes of over $1400, I tried DTA. They gave me a ride home, had me done in one day and saved me over $230. I highly recommend them.

I had been having my BMW serviced at the dealer for years. But in the last year, every time I took it in for service the bill was never less than $800. I finally took it to DTA, where my wife gets her van serviced, and he performed my Inspection 2 for almost $300 less than what it was normally costing me. I recommend them highly
