Brian Jessel Autohaus

Looking for reviews from fellow RS members or anyone who are using this shop? I'm looking for a new mechanic again (euro) because the stupid hours at my new job have killed any hopes of weekdays and I need a place that is open weekends...

The few times I've been there, they've been great. I had awesome service when they had the free 50 pt inspection, and Rich gave me a great price on some parts i needed recently.
Any work I can't do myself, I will definitely get done at BJA.

I guess in the worst if they close down.
They will be merge back to BJ BMW Service Department for cost cutting.
Why worry when they just open up not too long ago?

They only opened up in February, and I have a feeling they will be around for a long time

They would never close down. Even if they weren't doing too well, I doubt they'd close down simply because it brings down Brian Jessel's reputation. The result of closing down would be even worse for business.

Does anyone buy car from them? It appears that they have quite a few imports.

We have many happy clients driving away with their new pre-owned vehicles. We had four deliveries yesterday and there will be many more to come. I should also mention that if you're looking to purchase a specific vehicle, private message me the year, make and model and we'll see if we can find you one in your price range. Do not call BJAutohaus, private message me

Went to their first tech night a few weeks ago and the shop looks pretty well equipped. Huge showroom space too.
