I live in Denver, Colorado and I hired AVUS to do a pre-purchase inspection on a BMW 850i that was in California. After they completed a very thorough inspection, I got a detailed list of the items that were wrong with the car and an estimate of how much it would cost for me to have them repaired. They were very thorough, prompt, and spent time explaining all of the details to me. I would recommend them to anyone for service work!

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

If you love your BMW, you really don't want to go anywhere else. Avus is up-front, honest and offers truly outstanding quality of work and stellar customer service. I know BMWs and would not say this easily about a shop, trust me!

I am already a repeat customer because I refuse to compromise on quality of work. These guys take great pride in their work, something that's not easy to come by these days.

BMWs are not cheap to repair, so don't expect a bargain. If you want the job done right and never want to experience the same problem again, this is the shop for you, no competition.

Pros: Finest quality work, stellar customer service

Avus Autosport is an outstanding automotive repair facility. They know BMW's better than anybody - including the dealer. They performed a very tricky transmission swap on my car (from Auto to Manual), and got all of the complicated programming and wiring perfect.
Very highly recommended!

Pros: Stellar BMW mechanic

Cons: Can be a little expensive

Avus is the absolute best independent repair shop with whom I've ever done business. They've done a ton of Dinan mods to both the engine and suspension of my 540, each one executed with meticulous attention to detail. Even the Dinan engineers with whom I've talked agree that no one does better work than Avus. Meanwhile, the customer service is friendly, personal, and highly professional. Every time they've worked on my car, they've finished either exactly on time or ahead of schedule. They've provided rides and rental cars so I've never been stranded for a single wasted minute. When I had a Stage 2 Dinan suspension installed on my car, Andrew even pulled the last set of JRZ shocks in America out of an M5 bundle because he knew I didn't want to settle for Konis. Someone else in this forum complained about price, but it's unreasonable to expect BMW repairs at Ford Focus prices. If you check the hourly labor rates at a BMW dealership and the quality of work they provide, Avus is a bargain in comparison.

Pros: knowledgeable, professional, punctual

Cons: none

Avus Autosport, Andrew and his AWESOME TEAM! I cannot thank-you all enough for the OUTSTANDING Meticulous extraordinary service you performed on my 550i with (DINAN upgrades) and X5. You are the best of the best! I still have another 3 year free Maintenance with BMW dealer, i just cant bring myself to taking my cars anywhere but AVUS now. Its so refreshing to be dealt with in an honest open way. Im making my husband trade his Mercedes in for a BMW just so we can enjoy the AVUS experience on regular basis. I Cant wait for my next service! Hopefully more DINAN upgrades! Thank-you all again for making my BMW's come to life! Kindest regards to you all Ingrid Howe

Pros: The Best There is

Cons: no pink soap in restroom!!!

Was looking for an authorized Dinan Dealer for my new 335i. I bought it on a sat, and the owner waited for me to drive back from San Diego on the same day to get it tuned. I was late and he waited for me and did the tune, it was great service.

My Experience with Avus:

1) Dinan Software Tune
2) Coilover suspension
3) Dinan Exhaust
4) Oil Change
5) Fixed Disc Brake squeak

I feel like have a decent amount of experience with this company. I would definitely recommend them for the higher-end automobile. They are honest . .they will take you into the garage and show you what is going on . They will get you a loaner car if needed, they will do things the right way because they don't cut corners.

I recently had a squeak on one of my wheels, I originally thought it was related to my new suspension through them. They looked at it and it ended up being a brake pad issue which they fixed in 20 min . .they DID NOT charge me.

Yes as someone stated in an earlier review, my oil change for my BMW was also $120 . . but it's a luxury car and the oil alone is $60, and the filter is $20 so . . .

They also work on Ferrari, Porsche, and Mini, though I do not have any experience with them in these areas.

It's top notch service and I would recommend them.

Make sure to call to make an appointment as they are a pretty busy shop, which just shows they are doing it right.

Pros: Great sevice, and extremely knowledgable

Cons: If I had t choose one . . they are busy

Andrew, Ruben and the rest of the team are amazing! I have been going to Avus for almost 10 years now and I still feel so lucky to have found them. My BMW was my first car and when Andrew learned this during our initial visit he immediately took the time to explain to me the mechanics of my car & how to best take care of it ? something the dealership never did. Over the years Andrew has maintained my trust, always providing exceptional customer care and guiding me with what was best for my car?s needs rather than trying to ?pad? in extra costs. Andrew is always straightforward in his assessments and his prices are exceptional. I am so proud that my car still performs efficiently and in fact better than most of the BMW?s that other people I know own or those who only want to go to dealerships for repairs ? which often times has been for models much younger than mine. I am positive that this is because Andrew & his team have been exceptionally proactive in responding to any issues on my car?s behalf. I would highly recommend Avus to any BMW owner.

Pros: excellent customer care, very fair pricing, efficient servic

Avus makes taking your car into the shop enjoyable. From getting an appointment, to the wait time, to the price, to the people, Avus is exceptional in every way. They are prompt, professional, and efficient. Andrew is always excellent about accommodating me without making me wait forever for an appointment and gets the work done on my car quickly, knowing that time is of the essence. The men here have a customer-first mentality and always make you feel taken care of.

I have a 2000 330ci with 150,000 miles on it and it's still running great thanks to the efforts of the Avus team. These guys know what they are doing and don't rip you off like the dealer does. Recently, I needed to replace the control arm bushings - a repair that I used to have done for the dealer. Avus did it literally for half the price. A friend of mine who is a mechanic at the BMW dealer told me about this place and I can't thank him enough for the tip.

Andrew and Leif always thoroughly explain the repairs and are honest about what needs to be done and what doesn't. I've been to 2 other BMW mechanics before discovering Avus and I will never go any where else. I can't say enough good things about Avus!

Pros: Great Service, Top-Knotch Mechanic

Cons: None

They know how to take care BMW but they charge labor on every small things such as fasting the loose AC freon unit for Half Hour labor which I can do myself within 5 minuets, and Half Hour labor for regular oil change, come out to be $150 for oil change.

Pros: They do the job right.

Cons: Pricy. Charge labor on every small things.
