Summary: I own an '89 325ix..

Review: I own an '89 325ix because unlike most modern BMW's these cars are still unique without being flashy. Unfortunately not too many are still on the road, as a result, parts, repairs, and knowledgeable shops are rare and expensive. I met Chris and the guys at German Auto Sport when I brought the ix in for a front right axle replacement. Excellent work, excellent communication with me on the phone, calling to give you updates, telling you what else they might have found, and a detailed report when the job is completed. Chris actually takes the time to show you the parts which were replaced. In my most recent visit (saga) Chris replaced the automatic transmission on the ix. But wait, something went wrong. Chris calls, explains the problem, transfer case was slightly damaged during the process. Now at this point every other shop owner will say, it's gonna cost you $$$$$$$$. Not Chris. If damage was done by the shop, the shop takes care of the work. So with the help of an excellent welding shop Chris solves the problem. Again, constant communication through phone and email. I pick up the car, car drives great. Next day the unthinkable, tranny fluid leaking all over the place. I take the car back to the shop and they immediately check it out although it's past closing time. Chris says they will take care of it and offers a rental car on the house. Wow! I jump on the offer since I need the car. Days later and constant communication continues, Chris or the receptionist calls to let me know the car's progress. Chris double-triple-quadruple test drives the car to make sure the repair is solid. I get a call, the car is finally ready. I come in with the rental car and Chris greets me, explains again all of the repair, and with a smile and very politely offers to return the rental so I can drive off straight home. Oh, and he asks to please bring in the car in a couple of days to check it again, then in a couple of weeks, then a few months at no charge. That's how awesome this shop is, the team is very professional, they know BM
