This is the place to go if you own a BMW in Bozeman. John is a great. I brought it to him for the brakes, and he went above and beyond to help me fix some trim on my X5 which required extra time on his part to track down the parts. I would go to John with any issue and feel confident that he would give me a real and honest answer.

Taking your car in for repairs is so stressful. Our MINI Countryman developed some electrical issues - can't be good, right? John diagnosed the problem, tracked down the obscure parts, and fixed her up right away for a reasonable and therefore honest price. Knowledge, skill, and integrity: doesn't get any better than Black Forest Motors!!!

So stoked to find a such a qualified BMW service so close to me. No driving to Idaho falls or Spokane. This guy John was incredibly knowledgeable on all models BMW. Even rare Beemers like mine.
I had mice chew my oil level sensor wiring harness, (not a rare occurrence) I mentioned the symptoms, and he knew just what to do. Luckily for me , his first appointment was late and he had me out of there within the hour. I could not be happier.
As a lifelong BMW guy, I could tell this guy knows his stuff. I also noticed how clean and organized his shop was. Must be the Navy training. Veteran owned a plus in my book.
Thank you John Tovaas. Travis long

Had my 2014 mini countryman towed in to John's impeccably equipped and cared for technicians garage because overheating on hwy trip to Bozeangeles. Not understanding why my car had failed - it gave me so much fear relief when John meticulously and efficiently looked over my entire car while simultaneously replacing the broken serpentine belt that has caused the car to fail.John also happened to have in stock the exact belt(and the only belt in area) to do the repair in under an hour! What relief!In the old adage about the ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure, I plan to spend as much money as humanly possible with John so that I don't have to worry about a future mechanical failure that would be much more costly and disappointing.My boyfriend was even trying to find additional services John could do on the car there but John was so honest he told us they didn't need to be done!-Master Skill-Clean Facilities-Honest AdviceThank you for keeping our mini healthy John ??

John saved me. Car was immobile and flooded with oil. Not to mention that it was the Coldest day of the winter this year and when all other mechanics turned me away he looked at my car and had it driving with in a few hours. Super satisfied with his services and will exclusively be going to Black Forest Motors for my auto service needs.Services: Auto engine diagnostic

I was visiting from out of state and critters chewed through some wiring on my BMW Sportwagen. John got me in first thing on Monday morning and had my car fixed right away. He knows his stuff and prices are quite reasonable.

I cannot speak highly enough of John from Black Forest Motors. He’s been servicing my BMW for over a year now and every experience with him has been a pleasure. Car issues are always stressful, but I feel so much better knowing I have a great mechanic to call whenever something comes up.

John did a fantastic job on our BMW. He got it fixed as soon as the part was deliver. He communicated the whole time with me. Such a knowledgeable mechanic. Great customer service. I will never go to the other BMW shop in Bozeman. They told me it would be over a month before they could get me in. And their prices are way higher. Black Forest is where its at!!!Service: Auto engine diagnostic

John at Black Forest Motors, in my opinion, is one of the premier BMW mechanics in the United States. He possesses savant-like knowledge of the e46.I’ve had service performed at various BMW indie shops from coast to coast, and Black Forest, hands down, was the most thorough.Labor rates are extremely fair and communication was superb.I’d recommend scheduling service in advance, as there is limited parking.Service: General repairs & maintenance
