Servicing Atlanta since 1980, Bavarian Imports is an independent European vehicle repair and maintenance shop positioned as “the ultimate dealer alternative” for owners of German and European cars. The shop is located at 1505 Howell Mill Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30318, and draws customers from Midtown, Buckhead, Brookhaven, Vinings, Decatur, and College Park.
The shop specializes in BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Mini Cooper, Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche vehicles, offering diagnostics and repair across a comprehensive range of vehicle systems. Service categories include brake service, suspension systems, transmission service, engine repair and replacement, exhaust systems, clutch service, cooling systems, steering systems, HVAC systems, chassis service, and tire repair and replacement. Pre-purchase inspections are also available for prospective buyers evaluating European vehicles before committing to a purchase. These inspections assess mechanical condition, identify existing or potential issues, and give buyers an informed picture of what they are acquiring.
ASE-certified technicians staff the facility, and the company emphasizes delivering quality workmanship at fair prices. Scheduling is described as efficient, with most vehicles accommodated on the same or next business day. The shop offers after-hours key drop-off and vehicle pickup services using a secure key drop box and lockers, providing added flexibility for clients with demanding schedules.
Bavarian Imports provides financing options allowing up to $3,000 in coverage with a 100-days-same-as-cash arrangement, making larger repairs more accessible without requiring immediate full payment. Completed repairs carry a warranty covering parts and labor for up to 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Operating hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The shop can be reached by phone at 404-351-2002. The website includes a blog featuring seasonal automotive tips and maintenance guidance, and clients can subscribe to an email newsletter for exclusive deals and service updates. The newsletter subscription offers access to periodic promotions not available to the general public.
