I couldn't have been blessed with a better mechanic than Manny and crew. He sorted out my nightmare of a project E30 very timely. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thanks Manny.

Manuel Mota just saved me $5,000! I had my car (a 2008 3 series with 63,000 miles on it) towed to the service department at BMW of Birmingham after it stalled in the middle of an intersection. After they charged me $190 for a diagnostic to tell me that the engine had “locked up” ( it would have costed another thousand bucks to know why) and that I needed a new engine ($18,000 for a new one, $6,000 for a used), I had the car towed to Mota Autohaus to get a second opinion. Manuel quickly assessed that I simply needed a new alternator. He promptly fixed it the day the alternator arrived in his shop and the car is running like new. The cost, $700.00 (he also had to replace all the oil the dealership’s service department had drained). Best, most competent, professional service I have encountered in a long time!

February 4, 2020I can't recommend Manny and moto autohaus enough! I've been bringing both my E30 and M2 here for everything and there's no other place I'd take them to in Birmingham. If you have any BMW, this is the place. Manny is both incredibly experienced and passionate about cars. You can tell the moment you walk into the shop. I've never had an issue with any of his work, and he is extremely easy to reach out to and ask questions about your car.

Simply the best in Birmingham. If you have a BMW in need of service, this is the place. Manny has super magical special powers including turning dirty oil clean just by looking at it. I’ve personally witnessed him raise E30s from the dead.

November 3, 2023Driving BMWs for 40 years we now own two, an 18 year old BMW E46 and a 29 year old BMW E30. Before finding Mota Autohaus older BMW maintenance was definitely a problem, I've lost count of the ripoffs and horror stories using 3 other local shops in particular. Manuel always does what he promises, fixes it CORRECTLY and there are NO cheap "knock off" parts, only QUALITY OEM parts. There's no "Bait & Switch" GOTCHAS when the Final Invoice comes, the estimates hold up when it's time to pay. Thanks for your Expertise Manuel! brian
