Best Mechanics in the GTA

bimmerinthe6 · 10-04-2023, 09:11 AM

Hello everyone,

I will be buying a high mileage 435xi convertible and looking for a good mechanic to inspect it. I will probably also get some of the related repairs with them as well. Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Steve

Before you purchase, why not take it to the dealership for the added peace of mind & once that's out of the way, then look for a "reputable" mechanic?

I talked to BMW and they told me that they would just check the brakes, tires etc. and do an OBD scan for the pre-purchase inspection. Service person on the phone literally said "it's a very basic visual inspection+OBD Scan". So I am not sure if they will be throughly inspecting everything.

The two that I frequent; Clarkson fine cars and white eagle motors.

Others that are highly recommended; European automotive, RMP

Many recommend RMP Motors, they do a very good job probably top 3 in the GTA. But I personally don’t like all the yelling that goes on throughout the entire day lol.

My goto is Ivo at Columbus Automotive.
He worked on all my previous and current vehicles.

C63 507, E90 335i, F15 X5 35i and currently F36 435i
