They are a pretty big company. They did a fine job, but it was a Porsche and when anything goes with a Porsche, you are out of luck.

There were some problems fitting a modern unit onto a 1992 Porsche 911 C2, but the outcome was good. The replacement was of a low-quality kit that had been installed by a local car repair facility that specializes in imported cars.

Obviously, Continental Imports is expensive but maintaining upper end cars such as BMWs and Mercedes is somewhat a given. The actual cost of labor per hour is not on my invoice. The part costs seem fair; I do question the cost of labor - this is where the cost comes in.
There is not (to my knowledge) another reputable BMW service provider in Gainesville, FL.
I do however need to take my car back because now my brakes squeal - they did not do so before I had them replaced.
One area where I feel they need to improve in is in providing rentals - for this cost and level of luxury cars, one would think they would be more in-tune with providing this for their loyal customers. Also, their hours can sometimes be difficult to negotiate; getting your car there and back during the work week.
Heidi and Darren however are very good at their jobs and this is one reason why I continue to take my BMW to them.

I would recommend them. They were kind of a little pricey but their service was good and the work was good.

It's a good quality shop. They do good work. They're one of the more expensive shops in town though.

They are good. They know their cars. They are honest. The prices are reasonable.
