My lucky day when I discovered ABS! A locally owned business with an owner and team who care about their customers and the excellent work they do. I highly recommend Alexandria Bavarian Service.

Guy on phone literally said "go somewhere else" when I asked if I could wait while they diagnose the car. They don't "do that kind of thing".

I am extremely appreciative of the quality of work, transparency in conversations, and overall effort this team put into my car.
They function as a cohesive unit and provide some pretty good comedic relief (when needed) to make bad situations more bearable.
I cannot overstate enough their success in troubleshooting my BMW, getting the parts so quickly, and restoring it to an even better state than it previously was.
They are not just mechanics, they are magicians. Thank you Grant and ABS!

This owner or whomever is at the desk is highly unprofessional! I’ve called and before I could even explain the reason for myself reaching out he hung the phone up!!!!

I’ll be bringing my car back for sure!! After being quoted an insane amount from mini of Alexandria and being told I needed all this work that I didn’t actually need, I brought my car here for the work it actually needed. Grant took the time to figure out what was actually wrong with the car and write up an estimate. When the actual work came out cheaper, he called to let me know, which illustrates how honest this shop is. Truly appreciate the great work they did on my car! Great shop

So glad to have Alexandria Bavarian Service recommended to me after two bad experiences at the nearby dealerships of Alexandria BMW and Passport BMW. The first would not answer the phone and the second tried to upsell almost $4,000 worth of work and part replacements that were completely made up. I had just saved my car from Passport BMW and had called Grant a couple of times leaving voicemails. I was close to his shop so drove over to see what he thought of the upsell services and to see if he could get the car aligned for me. He was out chatting with a customer with an old well kept BMW and, after he was done, invited me in. He has a great sense of humor, knows what he is doing, and enjoys his work. Great conversation about what my car actually needed and what he could do. I left the car with him yesterday and he called this morning with it all done exactly as described and at the cost he provided. So glad to find a place to keep our 2015 X3 up and running well - the dealerships in this area are not like the one we used to go to in Durham North Carolina. He gets lots of time wasting and junk calls so has to sort through them all to get back to you. He is worth the wait if you are looking for an honest and very qualified mechanic to keep your baby running well.

This people have the worst customer service ever. Can’t talk to the customer with respect. Then they get mad cause people are asking questions about what they do. Horrible customer service.

The Alexandria Va BMW dealership recommended services exceeding $8K for a 2019 SUV with less than 27,000 miles. The 10 recommendations just appeared to be a solution searching for a problem. Asking for a second opinion, Alexandria Bavarian Service reviewed the items, explaining they were unnecessary. The modest fee for this review was definitely a good value. They won my loyalty.

So glad this place is around. The owner takes a very personal touch and it’s a way more efficient and better experience than the dealer.

Straight to the point, great service. Took my vehicle there for oil changes, brake pad changes, maintenance and big repairs. All same day service, except for a motor mount change.Grant is one of kind in his experience and knowledge.If you’re looking for a place to sing pretty to you while they sneakily extort you. Go to the dealer shop.You want someone that cares about your bimmer and will find anything and everything for preventative care. Take your car there.Pro tip: call early or the day before. Leave it early. Know your car, or be humble and ask.Bummed I am moving and losing my shop.All the best.

I called to ask how much they charge per hour of labor. The guy started asking me different questions about my car, avoiding giving me an answer. I then asked again how much they charge per hour. He then started questioning me, who I was, several times. When I asked again, he just hung up on me. His voice sounded exactly like the voice in the greeting message. I called again a few times, and he never picked up. Very unprofessional.

Grant is a walking encyclopedia of BMW technical knowledge. He’s honest and direct and gets 100% of the work in our house. His team is terrific and do great work. I’ve been going there for almost 20 years. Enough said.

ABS and Grant Randal serviced my 2001 BMW z3 Coupe from 2004 to 2015 when I moved from Pentagon City to Ashburn, Virginia. I now have a 2013 BMW 128i Coupe and am planning to go back to ABS. I trust them. That's worth a lot.
