Doctor Bimmer

I highly recommend bringing your car to the Dr. As a BMW owner, I expect service and maintenance to be expensive. He performs these things at a significant savings over going to the dealership. He is an expert that does quality work. After taking care of your vehicle problems, you are always shown the old parts and given a walkthrough of the repairs. He recommends service needed to keep your car running smoothly and always gives you the cost upfront, no surprises. If you want your car taken care of correctly take it here.

Eric performed a pre-buy inspection and made me a list of issues or needed repairs. I purchased the vehicle and based on my experience with the inspection and reference from a friend went back to Eric. Eric detailed his work, parts and labor cost. The work was completed in timely manner and professionally. There were no surprises and the quoted price was met. Eric also researched the work and also stated there was some work he would not perform as it was not in his strengths or comfort zone. I will use Eric - Doctor Bimmer again and highly recommend. Happy and satisfied 1995 Jaguar XJ6 owner. Matt F.

Tremendous service at a fraction of the dealership price. Best customer service we’ve experienced with a repair shop. He will be our first call when we need anything with our BMW’s.

I am delighted to have found Eric, who works as Doctor Hybrid as well as Doctor Bimmer. He recently performed a head gasket replacement on my 2010 Toyota Prius. Eric is a knowledgeable, skilled, fair and pleasant resource that we're lucky to have in the greater Charlotte area. My Prius has served me without trouble for 220k+ miles, but recently knocking and shakes on cold start (and a check engine light and P0301 - cylinder 1 misfire code) prompted me to Google for the likely problem. Luckily, I did not drive the car more than a time or two after these noisy startups, as prolonged use after the head gasket begins to leak can wreak havoc. I learned that the cause of the symptoms was a leaking head gasket largely from an online video or two - and because I noticed the coolant level had dropped slightly for the first time. Head gasket replacement on a Prius is fairly complex, in that *many* components, hoses, wiring harnesses, etc. must be removed and capably replaced to successfully complete the job without causing other issues. Also, while the head gasket replacement is being done, additional services should be performed - including flushing the engine and cleaning the EGR system. I knew I wanted to have the job done by someone with specific experience replacing Prius head gaskets properly, who would do so competently without charging outrageous dealer rates. Finding Eric was not easy. The one resource I found was in California. Ultimately, I got a recommendation from them - for Doctor Hybrid (aka Doctor Bimmer... Eric). Eric returned my Prius to good running condition and I anticipate many more efficient miles from it. If/when I need additional work done on it (or my other vehicles), I plan to return to him.

Eric has served our families BMW service needs for years. I cannot give him a high enough rating. He deserves 10 stars instead of 5! We bought a second BMW because we knew we had an awesome mechanic for maintenance. Eric knows BMW and is always honest, helpful and willing to share his knowledge. He doesn't do work that doesn't need to be done. The work he does is done right and his rates are fair. We know we can rely on him and we can trust him.
