    I've gone to Autobahn Centre for a host of vehicles the current one is a 2001 BMW 750IL. I've had work ranging from the very complex to the mundane completed at the shop.

    Work is always completed when they say it will be completed and it's always been done right - meaning the problem doesn't recur. - I'd recommend the shop to anyone without qualifications.

    If you have one of these cars, and mine is now going on 17 years old, it simply has to be maintained - just like any other vehicle. The OEM parts are more expensive than domestic, Japanese, or Korean brands, but any reasonable person knows this prior to making the decision to own one of these cars.

    For example, OEM rear shocks on a this particular BMW run between $1,500 - $1,900 EACH depending on parts source - so parts expense is a known downside to owning one of these cars - the labor expensive at Autobahn is right where it should be for guys that have a level of expertise and knowledge base that isn't easily found.

    Not for nothing. But I swore by these guys at 1st. But now fortunately, I'm swearing AT them! Numerous and I mean numerous trips to diagnose and repair a service engine light on my 2001 325XI. Several thousand dollars later. My engine light has come on yet again. From an O2 sensor to 2 vacuum lines to an air solenoid which led to an air pump and valve job. In the interim they did a fuel pump and the day after an idler pulley and belt tensioner went. Now I'm not superstitious however I had pep boys do that job just to be on the safe side. Talk about frustration. Seems every time they work on the vehicle 2 mores things go wrong. Proceed with caution is all the advice I have to give....

    It is truly sad that the outcome of trying to help a person with a poorly maintained car and the repeated comments of " I don't have alot of money to spend on this car" have resulted in not only bounced post-dated checks but uncomplimentary comments posted on the Internet.
