hi,
can you recommend the best place to have your BMW serviced. BMW of Ocala seems to be a ripoff...........and pushy......... new to BMW ownership, THANKS :undecided:

I take my 2014 x3 to All German Motorworks. They are very knowledgeable and you talk to the owner when you go there.

Try All German Autoworks off Rt 44 in Leesburg. Have had my Benz serviced by them with no issues.

I've had bad experience with this guy. 1st does not follow instructions, 2nd shade tree t/sing. 3rd double dips the labor. wanted $500 to change AC filter/drier. the part sells at dealer for $19.00. I hauled my Porsche 911GTS out of there and took to Tampa for proper AC repair. PM me for more info if needed.

Try Dimitri at Precision Auto in Leesburg. He saved me thousands on my Mercedes when he check on an engine replacement and found it was under warranty. Could have kept quiet but went the extra mile.

Based on my experience with the German Motor Works in Leesburg, I could never recommend them to anyone.

A 15 year old vehicle, is a whole different animal. The manufacturers have been on a quest for 25 years, to get the independents out of the repair business. Most every state (& the Feds) have been fighting to get ther proprietary information and resources for years, to get it into the public domain and support independents.

Unfortunately for consumers, no one will ever know as much about a vehicle, as the folks who built it. I guess that just stands to reason.

So know all about up charging:eclipsee_gold_cup:

Dealerships don’t build them plus they hire certified technicians (took class, memorized questions and passed) the problem manufactures try to block computer data access so brand owners are forced to go there for repair. It has nothing to do with routine serving. Independent shops has to pay for access for brand computer data, same data the dealership mechanic looks at. We all know dealerships has independent guy to fix stuff the certified techs can figure out after they replaced all the parts the computer data them to do.

Bought our BMW at BMW of Ocala, and our last general maintenance visit (car is 6 yrs old so out of warranty) there cost over $1500 for little more than on oil change. Have been taking the car to Tire Choice since then, with excellent service. And before anyone starts knocking Tire Choice, they have never tried to upsell me.

BMW Ocala is a huge ripoff! They overcharge the original estimate provided, did not successfully repair issues, damaged the paint on the car and did not take responsibility, played games with the tax on the bill which probably should be investigated and their chain of command couldn’t care less. Once a recommendation of our car club but now almost no members use them because of similar situations. Steer clear of All German Motorworks as well. Price gougers. I recommend you visit Total Recon in Leesburg for your BMW service needs. Fair and qualified.
