The folks at Lone Star Bavarian were super knowledgeable. They took the time to look through the car and bring things to my attention. Anything they found they showed me and gave me options on how to move forward. Trent does a great job by providing a business that allows his employees to be friendly and happy to help the customers. I highly recommend Lone Star Bavarian to folks that have a European car that needs some attention and want to learn more about their vehicle. I will be going back shortly to get a much needed suspension overhaul!
Charged extra fees for diagnostics and still couldn’t tell me if it would fix the car. Estimate of over $6000.00 for a car that is not worth that much. Some of the issues were basic maintenance that didn’t need extra diagnostic fee. It feels like they knew I wouldn’t go for the fixes so they wanted to get as much as they could out of me. Very dissatisfied.
This place is amazing! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They completed my oil change for my BMW and even vacuumed the interior and washed the outside. My car runs beautifully and it was very reasonably priced. I also had them install my front license plate. That was a doozy of a job! My car has a ton of sensors and it took awhile for them to figure out how to place the license plate without setting off alarms. They really tried hard to give me what I wanted and I couldnt be happier. They really go above and beyond for service and I will be coming back again and again! I highly recommend this place if you have a luxury car that needs special attention. You wont regret picking them!
I want to be clear, each business has the right and priveledge to operate their business has they desire. I left before using the service requested could be completed.I made a reservation for an oil change about a week ago. At that time I explained I would be waiting. When I arrived today I was asked to fill out minimal paperwork and explained it would be 2 hours for an oil change. I asked if I was just in a long line making the wait so long. I was explained circuitously that it takes an hour for an oil change and an hour to complete the paperwork.This seemed excessive and in my mind does not take into account the.customers time. I voted with my feet and departed without this service.This is my message to this owner and others who do not take into account customer needs; what is the value if a lifetime customer.? Maybe this enterprise has all the business they need and this model is successful, but I suspect this simple act had a $10,000 lifetime cost at minimum.I wish you success ., but I cannot be a patron. Let customers know in advance if wait times are extraordinary.
These guys are amazing! The owner tracked down a great deal on a new set of tires for my car. Always fair and reasonable on parts and labor.My GLK has 150k miles and I bet I can get another 150k using Lone Star for my maintenance!
Trent Cole, owner of Lone Star Bavarian has been providing unmatched customer service in Fort Worth Texas for 20 years. He has a proven track record of 5 star quality service for your BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Mini Cooper. If youre looking for a trustworthy place to call home for your car or SUV, look no further.... Places like this are hard to find, and Trent changes the entire aspect of what could be just another repair shop. My family chooses Lone Star Bavarian for all three of our vehicles that we love very much because of a number of reasons. We have two BMWs and a Mini Cooper. Trent is a hands on guy, hes not going to throw you the keys and tell you to hit the road after your service, the typical see you next time. Trent knows everything thats going on with your vehicle while his master technicians complete your service, and with his 30+ years of experience, he knows every potential issue to look for while the car is already taken apart during that service. The preventive measures that are being taken, rules out a potential second service in the same region of the car. Its a very professional and honest way of doing business. This saves you money in the long run and makes you feel confident on the road, knowing that your car has had Trents guys working on it and Trent himself overseeing all the operations. He has saved my family and I thousands of dollars just by taking the initiative to be involved and using his knowledge to keep any potential malfunctions from turning into a mechanical breakdown. When you arrive to pick up your vehicle, Trent drops what hes doing and comes out of his office to go over every detail regarding your service. Its refreshing and sets him apart from any other service center you have visited in the past. He always has a smile on his face, very friendly and makes good conversation. He also shows initiative when it comes to your concerns or questions that you may have. His shop dog MINI comes out from the back to greet you at the front door and she enjoys sitting on your lap while you relax on comfortable furniture provided for customers in the waiting area. Lone star Bavarian is our home and they take care of all their customers like family. You will be impressed with their hospitality and attention to detail. Once you experience Trent and what his business has to offer, you wont find yourself wondering if someone else could do a better job. This will be your final destination.
The handle on my 2000 Mercedes CLK 430 Convertible just came off in my hands this past Tuesday when I was closing it to lock while out on an errand! So brought it in to Lonestar to see what they could do. (The hydraulics worked just fine but there was no way to close and latch my top w/o that handle!) They ordered the parts and Friday night Trent the owner called to say it was ready! He came and picked me up today (Saturday) since I didnt have a ride there. Theyre normally closed on the weekends by the way. My top now closes like it should. The handle works great, super tight like it probably did when this car was new! Thanks Trent, Mike and Nick for super fast service and all the help! You guys rock!
By FARRRRRR, the best people that have worked on my car. Apparently, bmws are like a cactus, everyone is scared to touch them, except the brave ones.They fixed my car within 5 hours of having it. When the BMW dealership couldn’t even figure out how customer service works.Easy, fast, friendly, and professional is all located here. I will be returning, and I will be sending people your way.Thank you for working on my “cactus”. 😉
Lone Star Bavarian was recommended to me some months back for maintenance of my Mercedes (MB). I had avoided taking my car to Lone Star for my oil changes due to my proximity to another “fast oil change” chain. Bad mistake.The service chain changed my oil but didn’t have the tool to reset the maintenance tracker on my car and they didn’t reconnect my oil sensor correctly.Lone Star Bavarian (LSB) are a very professional company. Their technicians know what they’re doing.Don’t waste your money going to MB service centers before visiting LSB and certainly don’t waste your time or risk the integrity of your MB by choosing a “fast service” chain with what you may consider a routine or a simple job. That decision may cost you more than you think and the chain will likely not pay for your decision to use their service.Trust your investment with a professional. Trust it with Lone Star Bavarian.
We have two classic BMWs and this is our ‘go to’ for auto repairs and maintenance. They are straightforward with what is needed and the prices are reasonable.
My Mini Cooper was misdiagnosed at the dealership. Lone Star Bavarian fixed the actual problem and the repairs cost less than half of what the dealership wanted. They were fast, professional, and so friendly. I feel good knowing that I have an honest repair shop when I need it next. Thanks Lone Star Bavarian!
I have know. Trent for over 20 years and his knowledge of the cars he works on is up there with some of the best in the industry. He has serviced a number of cars for me over the years and has always exceeded expectations. He is passionate about cars and passes that passion along to the clients he works with.If you’re looking for a professional shop in the area to service your car then I would certainly recommend giving Trent and Lone Star Bavaian a call.
Trent and the team took quality time to diagnose a few issues on our classic family euro. Communication was better than any other experience I’ve had, quality work, great communication and a fair price. Great experience!
I have used Trent and his very professional team for more than a decade, working on my 6 Series BMW. Lone Star are experts about German engineering and performance. if you want it Right and Tight, along with personalized service, go see Lone Star Bavarian. ******
Took my RV Sprinter for the AC not blowing properly. Mike was able to look at it right away. Excellent and prompt service, I will definitely be bringing it back for all my repair needs. Nick at the front was very professional and kept me updated throughout the whole process. I am recommending Lone Star to all my co workers and friends that own a Mercedes
Amazing services nick kept in constant contact with me every step of the way throw my repair, the dealership wanted almost double for the same work I had done here and they did it in the same amount of time, nick and the tech got me all of the quotes I ask for and did some last minute diagnostics at my request. Im very pleased with lone star Bavarian I will definitely be coming back
First time going to Lone Star Bavarian... my Mini CooperS, BMW 335I and 330CI now have a new home! Outstanding customer service from Nick, Service Advisor to Trent, the Owner. Trent knows his stuff... so refreshing to talk to the man himself. Job on Mini was completed ahead of time so my son and I headed over to pick it up and just happened to bump into to owner. Trent is on another level and a great person to talk to but also VERY knowledgeable. He is a car enthusiast and loves to talk about cars. Lone Star Bavarian creates a welcoming experience and goes that extra step to make sure the customer is satisfied.
I have complete trust that the service of my car will be done properly. Always do a superior job.
Lone star Bavarian save me time during a pre-purchase inspection. They were honest and totally save me money from purchasing a drivable car! Thank you again!
PHENOMENAL! I am thrilled to have found Lone Star Bavarian😁 Fast, Friendly, and EFFICIENT! Thank you guys so much!
These guys are awesome... Thank you for getting our Jo Mercedes up and running properly again!!
LoneStar Bavarian correctly diagnosed the issue and provided options for repair. Polite and knowledgeable staff. Quality work and fair prices.
Trent & his crew have been steadfast in investigating a constant issue with my 2010 Mini Cooper. Until recently there were not “codes” whenever the car died in transit. No matter when or where, they would take the car and have a loaner for me so they could check the engine. They were able to pinpoint the issue and repair it... I cannot say enough good things about this shop, their focus on repairing an issue and their constant customer service.
I used to take my cars to the dealer because I could get a free loaner car. I got a really nice car to drive around as they worked on my car. My car had a odd sound coming from the motor and I was really worried and was ready to pay out the butt to keep my car going . But instead of milking me for every thing I had they figured out the issue and it was not something that needed to be fixed right away ( high pressure fuel pump the make a clicking sound and mine is makeing a louder click but is still working fine ) I have brought several different Mb cars here and they have always gave me a fair price and good service they are going to have a customer for life
Dropped off for a problem I could not solve. As a long time BMW enthusiast and part time wrench it was great to find a place to trust and have conversations with about cars. My family owned a shop like this and it’s great to support people who care. I enjoyed sitting in the Lobby, Trent’s wife brought me popcorn while I worked in the lobby. Highly recommend this place, support our small business owners.
Extremely professional and honest. I would recommend them to my parents!! It’s refreshing to find an auto shop you can trust.
I would never go anywhere else now. Way nicer, and cheaper and more professional than any Mercedes dealership I’ve gone to.
You can trust Lone Star Bavarian to provide the best service available for your car in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The have the tools, knowledge, integrity and passion to get any job done right, no matter how difficult or complex. They have definitely earned their five star rating!
First time customer. Very pleased with price and turn around time. Will be back as needed.Brad
They were great help to me.
I always appreciate how honest they are and don’t try to push you into anything. Great service and timely!
Lone Star always does exactly what my car needs without all the pressure of trying to sell me more repairs or maintenance than I need. I stopped going to the dealer because of this problem with them.The staff is very professional and accommodating at all times. I love taking my car to Lone Star!
Other shops told me that I needed a new transfer case for my BMW X5. I was quoted thousands of dollars. Lone Star Bavarian said all that need to be done was to change the transfer case fluid and reset. They were right! They saved me a small fortune.Thank you again.
Very professional, honest and great customer service. Communicate very well throughout the process. They always do a great job. Best BMW auto shop around!
They have done a good job working in my daughter’s Mini Cooper.
This is the best shop I have ever been to! Honestly everyone is kind, helpful and honest, from the front desk, the mechanics to the owner. If you need work done to your BMW or Mercedes this is the only place you need to go.They 100% honest, never sell you sell you anything you dont need and they do not over charge you.Ive worked on cars my whole life and I always hate taking my car to anyone when I dont have the equipment to fix my car. After the first visit I knew Id never take my car anywhere else!If you need anything done to your car please at least give them a call.. trust me, you will not regret it.
Excellent if not timely diagnosis of an engine noise.
Loved this place, the people is so nice and they will explain to everything to you, fair prices, they are my car’s new doctor
Performed work as promised. Car was returned as agreed and repairs/maintenence were first rate. Definitely recommend their business.
Great customer service & fair prices.
I took my BMW 550i to Mr. Cole after taking it to a few other places. Not only did the man fix the problem he even gave me a ride home!! I would definitely be using him again. I just bought a 335i and guess where I will be dropping it off at?? You guessed right!
Great customer service, timely repair and very fair pricing. this is my go to for my bmw from now on!
Lonestar was very friendly, upfront about costs and I found them very professional.
High quality work. Been using them for 20+ yrs.
From the warm welcoming smile as I entered the front door to the fun banter with the owner to the knowledgeable technicians to the status updates to the service... This was bar far the best automotive repair experience I have had in the great state of Texas! Quick diagnosis and reasonable price repair with a smile. I will never take my Audi anywhere else.
Unbeknownst to us, a bad coil pack (and bad plugs from previous owner) left us stranded quite a distance from Lone Star Bavarian, however, Trent Cole and his staff offered to help get our car transported and diagnosed in short order.What do I mean by short order?Problem was diagnosed first thing in the morning, and was repaired & washed before lunchtime! Pretty snappy service!Kudos once again to Lone Star Bavarian; my GO-TO guys (and gals) when it comes to German cars!
Fabulous service. Technicians explained problems and repairs.
I was extremely satisfied with theyre service and Nick was so helpful and polite when helping make necessary repair decisions!!!
Excellent service and well costumer treatment provided by Lone Star Bavarian team members
Great customer service & fast service!
Always thankful for local service! Thanks for taking care of us and getting us safely back on the road quickly!
Dealing with Trent and his team of highly skilled mechanics was a very good experience...When you walk in the shop, you understand immediately that Lone Star Bavarian is a professional company, and they treat you like family!! No surprises on Anything, NO changing out parts to see if that fixed itEverything was professionally diagnosed, and communicated to me before any work was performed!! When you are spending hard earned money, you want it done right...These guys get it done RIGHT!! I would HIGHLY recommend this business to anyone needing work done on their BMW.
This is what happens when in-depth knowledge combines with impeccable standards and a devotion to ethical business practices.They dont push un-needed repairs or service and dont use recalls to get you into the service bay to up-sell you what you dont need.Youll find excellent workmanship, unvarnished honesty, and straight forward answers.The office is a bit like a museum and the waiting area is comfortable and well appointed. All that, plus a couple of very friendly and well behaved puppies makes for a welcoming, engaging, and satisfying customer experience.Enthusiastically recommended.
I used trent in the passed and called him up to do another car. He wa awesome and ready to tackle my new project car. Great friendlyt staff.
I would highly recommend Lone Star! My Mercedes had a complicated problem that was not typical. Trent and his team researched and went above and beyond to fix the issue. He kept me informed along the way and took time to explain the issue in great detail. Everyone at the shop was very friendly and honestly, my car drives better than it ever has! Trustworthy for sure!
Love this place and it’s people! I showed up this morning unannounced with a car issue and Nick took my car in immediately... had the problem repaired and in 10 minutes and I was on my way. I wasn’t even charged for the repair. Thank you Nick!!!
Absolutely the best. Excellent service, excellent value. A true family business. What our great country was founded on. From one family business owner to another. Thank you!!
As usual service was great.
Best in Fort Worth. Ive been taking various BMWs to Trent and his guys since 2003 or so. Very knowledgeable and honest and fairly priced. Lets be honest, these arent cheap cars to buy, or own, and that means repairs arent the same price as a Honda, but youre not driving a Honda! Highly recommended!
First time visiting but definitely wont be my last. Professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.
Super quick service! We were on a road trip when we realized something with our BMW was wrong. We were an hour away from Lone Star Bavarian, we called them on the phone and they were super friendly! Diagnosed the problem and gave us a solution within 20 minutes. Thank you so much!! They saved our spring break trip!!!!
My wife blew a head on her Mini. These guys checked it out same day on no notice. Sadly, it wasnt worth fixing...
Stopped in on the way driving from Houston to Santa Fe when my car started having trouble with the belly pan falling off. Called in and they were very helpful on the phone and even fixed the problem free of charge. Highly recommend coming here!
The front desk, mechanics and owner are great. I was lucky to find them and wished I had them in in my town. Really happy with the experience.
Outstanding customer service and One of the cleanest shops I’ve ever seen.I would highly recommend this shop to anyone. Great job guysThank you for the great service
After a recent service, Trent emailed me a thorough explanation of the diagnostics and work that went into fixing my C250. I came away convinced that the quality of the work was outstanding and the price I was charged was very reasonable. Ive used Lone Star Bavarian since 2015 and recommended their service to several friends and will continue to do so.
Nice place. The receptionist are Very friendly. Expensive repair. They did a fantastic job. My car rubs better now than it did when I first bought it.
Fantastic auto repair shop. They were very nice, professional, and expert auto mechanics. Im so glad I chose them. Now, I have a new mechanic that I can depend on.
Amazing experience. Very happy to have worked with Trent. Great person. I recommend this company
The facility is very clean, their service is quick, and they call you when they say they will. Overall, had a great experience with their repair to my BMW.However, I got some quotes for future services that are significantly higher than some dealers quoted me for the same repairs so do your research. If you understand that they arent the cheapest around, you will be satisfied with their customer service
Nick was fantastic... will be back fore sure. If you have any problems with your car, these guys are way better than the dealership and give you best rates.
I recently acquired a 1996 BMW Z3 and was at a loss as to where to take it for needed repairs. I stumbled across Lone Star Bavarian online and was first impressed with the Google reviews. I took the car in for review, recommendations and repairs. Everyone was extremely helpful, informative and upfront; from Sarge to Nicole, to Trent to Karen! My Z3 has found a new repair shop! Great service at reasonable prices.
These guys always go the distance when making a customer happy but more importantly that the vehicle is repair properly. Highly recommended!!!!
Very honest and trustworthy people. I sent a BMW that I thought was out of factory warranty to their shop for repairs to the A/C system. Not only did they find the problem, but also discovered that the vehicle was actually still within the warranty period! It ended up costing me nothing when I expected to pay several hundred for repairs. Thanks Samantha!
Not taking my BMW anywhere else while Im in Texas, great shop without the Autobahn prices
I brought my car in today and needed my flex pipe fixed and my muffler change. Great service and work done fast. Highly recommend going to them!!!
Wonderful experience. Will always have my BMW serviced here.
My husband and I brought our BMWs to Trent and the guys at Lone Star Bavarian after less than stellar experiences at the dealership and have never looked back! They know what they’re doing and things that they fix, stay fixed. We would not hesitate to recommend Lone Star for your BMW automotive service.
Trent and his team are great! Ive got a high mileage BMW so I know theres going to be things that need to be fixed. Anytime I get into a situation that I cant do myself, I go to Lone Star and they always take great care of me and my car.
If you have a BMW and you live in or near Fort Worth, you need to know about Lone Star Bavarian. I typically work on my own cars, but I always know they are there as a solid, reliable, and affordable option if I dont have the time or the inclination to fix my own car, and Im sure they do a better job!Its a nice facility, not your average repair shop, and Trent has a great team that will take good care of you and your car.
Been using Lone Star exclusively since my warranty at the dealer expired on my 2005 BMW 525 back in 2011. Now I have added my Mercedes C230 to the cars I trust LSB to take care of Always helpful, accurate and consistent in how they treat customers. Will continue using Trent and his team for all my BMW and Mercedes needs
Bad customer service. Went to get an electrical issue fixed, they couldn’t figure it out and charged $600. Asked to get the cost deducted since they couldn’t get the issue resolved esp with the cost being that high but they wouldn’t budge.I have never met more unreasonable people than them. All they care about is money, not customer service. If you need your BMW or Mercedes worked on, DO NO GO TO LONE STAR BAVARIAN.
Trent and his Team of amazing MBZ techs sure make it easier keeping Miss Kay (1991 MBZ 300D) stay on the road. Always a smile on her and a bit more get up and go in her Turbo after visiting Lone Star Bavarian. I am sure there are less expensive places but I also dont take my loved ones to a roadside clinic for healthcare. 29 year old MBZ and running, Ill stick with Lone Star Bavarian!
Thrilled with the entire experience! From scheduling an appointment to assessing my concerns /diagnosing the issue, to providing a loaner car, to completing the work on time and returning my vehicle clean, repaired, and ready to go; they were personable, professional, and thorough! I will bring my Mercedes here from now on ... !
We always get professional service for our SL550 here at a fair price. The staff is always so friendly.
My fourth visit, Lone Star Bavarian exceeds expectations every time, great people, excellent experience. Highly recommend Lone Star Bavarian !!(first visit)Lone Star Bavarian was highly recommended, by every present and/or former BMW owner I inquired with in the Fort Worth area, and now I know why. Trent, and his entire team, are professional, polite, detail oriented, and, above all honest & thorough. I will now be a customer for life !
This place is awesome! The staff is super nice and I paid less than I expected for the work I needed done. They even gave me a complimentary car wash. Now my baby looks and feels amazing!
Ive used Lone Star Bavarian various times. Awesome costumer service and a real honest group of guys...even when the news is not good. They always take care of me and do a great job. Better then the dealer ship.
My experience with Lonestar started off with a phone call to obtain a rough estimate on replacing the A/C compressor on my 2004 5-series, which had been diagnosed prior. Adam was friendly and quick to provide answers to all of my questions. I brought the car in yesterday and from the time I dropped it off to the pick-up this morning, I was well-informed every step of the way. The price I paid was exactly what I was quoted over the phone, no surprises. They had the best price and quickest turnaround time. They gave me a ride from my home to pick up my car, and even cleaned my car inside & out. Thanks!
Absolutely the best customer service Ive received from a mechanic - they were fast, friendly and honest, getting my car in next-day and serviced within hours whereas other shops quoted days. Thumbs up all around
BIG TIME PRICE GOUGCHER They replaced my clutch and forgot toto fix tighten a motor mount. Then they want $170 for their mistake.BEWARE! BEWARE!!! MISTAKE WITH THEM!!!
Trents staff is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Definitely deserving of Best of Fort Worth for so many years!
Mr. Cole and all of his staff took great care of my baby. Thanks gang for the excellent service. When I am in Fort Worth and need your assistance again I look forward to your hospitality.
Lone Star Bavarian, Inc. - Samantha, Lucio and Team - World Class! Convenient, Competitive Pricing, Turn Around and Follow up! Will continue to return when need shall arise and will for sure recommend!Chris BFamily Toyota of Burleson
Probably not the place to bring a mini Cooper based on my experience. My daughter brought her 45k mile 2007 mini Cooper S in for a check engine light and rough idle. They wanted to replace spark plugs and coil packs and air filter possible oxygen sensor for $1100. All of these parts except the oxygen sensor had been replaced in the last three months, which she explained, but they just shrugged without any other ideas. Their markup on parts is about 300% over standard prices and labor is $150 an hour. At these prices I expect a little more thinking rather than just throwing parts at a vehicle, without thinking if it makes sense.$150 “diagnosis” fee.
Excellent repair shop, extremely detailed and affordable.. kudos!!
I brought my 2012 528i to LSB after a local BMW dealership supposedly repaired my car. They charged 500 dollars and didnt fix anything. They recommended that I needed to replace my turbo. Well long story short, Trent and his team took their time, found something different and repaired my car right. I too, was given a loaner car and I cleaned it up and filled the tank upon its return. I was very impressed that the Mercedes loaner was in tip-top shape!! LSB, you earned my business!!
These guys are quick to blame the customer. They dont really think, they just assume you know or aware of whats going on. I came here with my mini cooper first time coming. At first I thought it was going to be great they have some nice people. They seemed like they had everything handle but think again. They dont . My windows and lights where working fine but they decided to mess with it mess them up. They calim one thing when in reality its another problem. But they love blaming me for the damage. They Calim my mini couldnt drive but Im fact it was drivable. When I picked it up it couldnt even leave the parking lot. They told me to pick up my car at a certain time. When I got there only the front lady was there just to charge me. The manager or people who worked on my car left before it was even closing time. Not good. Went in for a small problem to come out with a bigger problem. Paid a bit to much. That wasnt even the real problem with my car. I really Dont not recommended this place. To anyone they charge to much and give wrong answers.
Absolutely immaculately clean place very well organized very honest and didnt feel that I was getting taken, they ran a very thorough diagnostic highly recommend this place
