I have taken my 2001 BMW 330CI three times so far and each time the service has been great. I have taken my car in to get the following done... Power Steering Pump, Engine Mounts, Driver Side Lock Regulator. Engine Valves. Front Struts, Front Bushings, Engine Oil Leak, & Tire Alignment. All of these items were quoted at a fraction of what a BMW dealer would charge. Eric is super friendly and very knowledgable. I highly recomend you take your BMW or MINI here and do not take it to a dealer. You will save $100s if not $1000s of dollars by doing so.

I have a 2006 BMW 325i which has recently gone out of warranty. It's a great car, but I was concerned about having to pay for service given my past experience with out of warranty items at the dealer. I was also apprehensive about getting a bad service experience after getting spoiled with the fine work at the dealer's service center. And then I found Babbitt Motor Werks. I've been to the Mesa shop three times over the last year. Every experience I've had with them has been stellar. Eric, who I've worked with each time, is always accommodating, up front, and spot on with his estimates. The first time I went there, I got a quote for the same work from a BMW dealer in town and it was more than twice what Babbitt quoted. They can usually get the work done in the same day. I highly recommend it.

BMW maintenance costs after warranty has played out.. bites..and it bites big! I was hit by road debris on the ever debri'd I-10... my insurance sent me to BMW and then to another auto shop for the work.. Babbitt saved me hundreds. Nate is awesome.. no other words.. he knows how to get parts within hours.. hes informative & on his game.. NOW to rid myself of a car that is starting to continuously have issues.. hmmmmm Love the Babbitt:-)

Owning a BMW is nice.....for a while. Then, you get out of your warranty and the maintenance costs start becoming like a second mortgage. This is where the fine folks at Babbitt Motor Werks come in. Sure, you have to drive all the way to Mesa, but it will save you HUNDREDS of dollars in repair costs.First things first, Babbitt is owned and run by BMW mechanics, many of whom used to work for Chapman's. The walls of their waiting room are adorned with awards they received during their years there. Nathan, who owns the business, and Erik, who runs the office, are both experts in BMW issues. I can call them with some symptoms and they will usually be able to tell me over the phone what the problem is and give a ballpark of the costs (they haven't gotten either wrong, yet). They will also walk you out to their garage, with your car up in the rack, and show you exactly what is going wrong. Once, they pulled a sample part out of their stock to better explain a repair they completed. Every time I am in there, I learn something new. And, I never, NEVER feel like I am being taken advantage of.Prime example: a recent leak in the thermostat housing. North Scottsdale BMW: $450. Babbitt: $280. Same authentic BMW parts. Same quality of work.For lengthy repairs, Babbitt has a deal with the local Enterprise Rent-a-Car. Enterprise picks you up at the repair shop and Babbitt pays $15 per day towards your rental. The only downside to Babbitt is that they don't wash your car, like the dealerships do. But, for hundreds of dollars in savings, I can wash my own car!
