Independent BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, MINI and Porsche specialists in Wayne, NJ. Factory-level diagnostics, OEM-quality parts, and labor rates well below the dealer. Bring your dealer’s written estimate and we’ll typically do the same repair for 30–50% less.
Bring your dealer estimate — save 30–50%
Got a quote from the BMW, Mercedes, Audi or VW dealer? Email it, text it, or bring it in. We price the same repair with the same quality of parts and in most cases come in 30–50% under the dealer’s number. No tricks: you see the line-by-line comparison before you say yes. The offer applies to every make — see how the dealer-estimate offer works.
- Same repair, same parts quality — OEM or OE-supplier parts (Bosch, ZF, Lemförder, Mahle, Continental, Brembo, ATE).
- Lower labor rate — we don’t carry a dealership’s overhead.
- Written quote — itemized, so you can compare it to the dealer’s estimate line by line.
- Your warranty stays intact — under federal law (Magnuson-Moss), using an independent shop for maintenance and repairs does not void your new-car warranty.
Factory-level diagnostics, not a generic code reader
German cars need the right software to diagnose properly. We use:
- BMW ISTA — the same factory diagnostic system BMW and MINI dealers use: module scans, guided fault finding, service resets and programming.
- VCDS & ODIS (Audi / VW / Porsche) — full-system access for Volkswagen Group cars: fault codes, adaptations, coding and service functions.
- Autel professional diagnostic platform — dealer-level coverage for Mercedes-Benz and all other makes, including bi-directional tests, ABS/SRS, TPMS and battery registration.
That means we can read the fault the way the dealer reads it, fix the actual cause, and reset the service indicator — without a dealer bill.
What we do for German & European cars
- Oil service & scheduled maintenance — correct factory-spec oil (LL-01, LL-04, MB 229.5, VW 504/507), filters, inspection services, service reset

- Suspension & steering — struts, control arms, bushings, air suspension, alignment

Common questions
Will using an independent shop void my BMW, Mercedes or Audi warranty?
No. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer cannot void your warranty because maintenance or repairs were done by an independent shop, as long as the work is done correctly with appropriate parts. We keep detailed service records for you.
How much cheaper than the dealer are you?
On most repairs, 30–50% below the dealer’s written estimate for the same job. Bring or send the estimate and we’ll give you an itemized quote to compare.
Do you have the real BMW and Audi/VW diagnostic software?
Yes. We run BMW ISTA for BMW and MINI, and VCDS/ODIS for Audi, Volkswagen and Porsche. For Mercedes-Benz and other makes we use a professional Autel diagnostic platform with full module access.
Do you use genuine parts?
We use genuine OEM or OE-supplier parts (the same companies that make the parts for the factory) unless you ask for an alternative. You can also bring your own parts.
Can you reset the service light / do a battery registration?
Yes. Service resets, battery registration and basic coding are included with the related repair.
