    I could not say enough great things about Mota Autohaus and Manny from their team. I always get the work that I need done on my car in a timely manner and at an affordable price. I have an interest in how cars work and Manny even walks me through what he is doing so I learn something every time. I strongly recommend Mota Autohaus!

    Manny is a very good and honest person. I've taken my BMW M6 to him every time my car has had a problem or for regular oil change, and I've never been disappointed once. Highly recommended!!!!

    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!

    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.
