Independent BMW shop in the Greater Toronto Area?

Alfisti · 03-28-2017, 08:50 AM

Just took my X3 in for a service at PFAFF in Mississauga and the price point is horrendous: best part of $500 for an oil change, wiper blades and air filter.

Can anyone recommend an indie shop that knows what they are doing? Preferably in the west end and as far south as possible.

Thanks in advance.

BMWizard is the best there is. Keele and Hwy7 area. Look for Matt the owner.

Mantis Racing in Oakville are good, on Speers near 4th Line, they specialize in Porsche but they know their way around BMW, lots of them go there. Prices are better than dealership.

Thanks. Both are a real PITA for me though, really need somewhere closer to work which is near Kipling TTC.

At the risk of sounding blasphemous, there is another forum called maxbimmer. There is a thriving Toronto BMW community section there that might be able to provide more ideas on indie shops.

Man there are days when I miss that Islington/Bloor area!

Belen Automotive near Cawthra and Dundas in Mississauga!

They specialize in German cars and are very knowledgeable... and fair priced! I got a sensor changed there once $1000 below dealer quote...

Not to mention, they're customer service is great, not too many times you can say that about a mechanic shop

Not near Kipling TTC, but RMP motors is great. Read on Maxbimmer...

Eurocharged in Toronto was an honest shop that did my software. I'm no longer in Toronto but I would suggest giving them a shout. They are along Steeles.

I have taken my BMWs to Bimmersport since '98. They are a great bunch of guys and service my M3 and X3. They are located on Tomken and Pacific Circle. Not near Kipling Station but not too far of a trek. www.bimmersport.ca
