Make Your Mother Proud! Give Your Car 6-month Checkups.

In a sense, the team of auto mechanics at Bimmer Rescue wants to play the part of a protective mother when it comes to auto repair.

I'm probably their best customer this year... with a Mini S with 90,000 miles that decided to have all of i ... read more

How to Find a Good Repair Shop

How to Find a Good Repair Shop

Sometimes some of our clients from Richmond, Short Pump, The West End, and The Fan District move out of state. The auto mechanics at Bimmer Rescue are happy to assist you in looking for auto repair shops in other areas that can match our same level of excellence. The team at Bimmer Rescue is always sad to see a customer leave. However, we understand that life happens and we want you to continue to have a seamless auto repair experience. Here are a few things that the team of auto mechanics at Bimmer Rescue recommend looking for in an auto repair shop: REPUTATION: If referrals from friends and family are not available, search Google and Yelp reviews.

PHYSICAL EVALUATION: Even if you go to an auto repair shop for minor repairs, a top-notch shop will always include a physical evaluation of your vehicle to prevent future ma ... read more

Why We Don’t Allow Customer-Supplied Parts

Why We Don’t Allow Customer-Supplied Parts

Car owners from Richmond, Short Pump, The West End, and The Fan District have come to trust that they’ll receive quality and reliable auto repair from the auto mechanics at Bimmer Rescue. In a nutshell, here’s why it’s not cool for customers to bring in their own parts. It’s like going to the grocery store and purchasing a delicious, uncooked t-bone steak. Then, you go down the street to Outback Steakhouse and tell the server you want the chef to cook it for you medium-rare. You’d be kicked out of Outback Steakhouse, wouldn’t you? Well, the same goes here at Bimmer Rescue. Liability: The auto mechanics at Bimmer Rescue don’t know the quality of the supplies that you would bring in. We are certain that all the parts that we use are in pristine condition and the best in the auto industry. We want to guarantee quality and by allowing us to use our supplies makes our job easier and more efficient. Insurance: Every business has risks and that&rsquo ... read more

Are Aftermarket Warranties Worth It?

Are Aftermarket Warranties Worth It?

When you visit us for an auto repair, the team of auto mechanics at Bimmer Rescue is happy to discuss aftermarket warranty options with you. We’ve assisted customers from Richmond, Short Pump, The West End, The Fan District, and surrounding regions in assessing whether an aftermarket warranty would be beneficial for their cars and lifestyles. We have so many loyal and long-term clients because not only does Bimmer Rescue offer incredible auto repair, but we also provide above and beyond customer service. The team at Bimmer Rescue recommends that you pick a warranty that covers modern labor rates and parts generally expensive to fix, especially oil leaks and gaskets.

If you need help reading the fine print, come sit down with us at Bimmer Rescue, and we’ll be your advocate with warranty companies. Customers choose to stay with us for years because ... read more
