Sorry man from my search there is nada on the Brookline location. Shrewsbury seems most ideal if you have mods and Peabody or Norwood would be good with no mods.

I haven't experience any got my e92 a few weeks ago.

My father used to take his cars to them back in the day...he had an '01 740i and a '97 Jaguar XK8. At the time, the owner had just finished school for BMW. He always seemed to do a better job on the Jag rather than the BMW but he stood behind his work.

for the reviews sounds like it is a good place, just some people complain about how "moody" is the owner, but if they do a good job, i really dont care if the guy smile or no lol

Ive been there a few times with mixed feelings. The owner does have a personality of his own which can result to him being /sound rude and moody. When I went to his shop once he called my E90 a shitbox (I wasn't offended, but certain people will be) He did not seem to like a few of my friends who went there previously, probably due to them being young guys and had mods on their E92's. But he was cool with me since im a Jag guy and we talked about British cars. He seems to be a straight forward guy with no BS when it comes with cars, but wont hesitate to offend your car.
he did charge me $50 bucks once just to scan my car....The owner is knowledgeable and a interesting guy to talk to about cars. Owns a few E types and various other European classics. He does seem to know his stuff on BMW's and does get interested and asks to update him when I call him about a uncommon issue in regards to my car.

that being said if your looking for a good BMW mechanic around the Boston area go to Rayteam Automotive in Waltham. They are the best imo.

No problem! The owner Frank and his team are great guys! Just for ur FYI Rayteam auto is the same place as Diamond Automotive. You'll know what I mean once ur there. They share the garage, it can be confusing.

He sounds like an asshole. I insult customer's cars in hopes they don't come back.
