After searching for months for the perfect W140 I finally found a '98 s500 in beautiful shape... fully documented history with all records, low kms., garaged, owned by a senior couple in Vancouver for the last 9 years. Brought the car home to Nanaimo and drove it twice before it started to misfire...

I reviewed the Mercedes forums and started thinking about a small bank loan for possible repairs, then I contacted Klynt who told me to get it down to the shop and he would put the scanner on it. Sure enough it showed the misfire. There could be any number of causes: plugs, coils, etc.

I was prepared for a major repair bill. Next day got a call at 9:30am to come and get the car. It was fixed, running perfectly, $258.00. I felt like I had won the lottery...

Conclusion: When you find a German auto repair shop with expert, honest mechanics, you have won the lottery and I will recommend Bavarian to anyone needing professional, friendly, and cost effective service.

Had a problem with the Westy during a road trip. Referred to Bavarian by Justyna at the Living Forest campground. Klynnt and his team gave me the kind of service you dream of receiving when a problem occurs on the road. Triple A service. Many thanks again.

I was sent in their direction in 2001, back when they were on Maki Road. 14 years and 10+ buses (VW Westfalias) later, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Great crew. Great coffee!

Thanks for the awesome service and thorough work. Even when the car had a new problem after all the initial work, your immediate attention to make it right (which you did) was greatly appreciated! Highly recommend these craftsmen.

Knowledge, quality, service, value, courtesy: the best of the best. I’ll never go anywhere else, ever. The highest of recommendations, without hesitation.

I moved to Vancouver Island 2 years ago with my wife, we have a 1984 Westy (VW Vanagon). We were fortunate to find Bavarian Imports for our regular maintenance and the occasional emergency repair. Klyntt and crew are honest, fast and friendly. Highly recommend their services.

I’ve been a customer of Bavarian’s for 17+ years now. My cars have spanned quite a few makes such as: Mazda (owned for 17 years), Nissan truck, Chevy Blazer, VW Jetta diesel, VW Golf. No matter what the make, all work was done with care and attention to detail and cost. Have not changed shops since my first visit.

This is the only place to take your vehicle. These are men you can trust and they care about what they do. There is no shortage of smiles and good spirit at Bavarian.

We have had a long and gratifying relationship with the guys at Bavarian. They have been very helpful with all of our problems, from supplying parts and advice to doing work for us (a rebuild, brake jobs, many oil changes, etc.). We tell everyone we know about the great service that is a regular part of the Bavarian experience.

We’ve taken all our VWs to these guys for the past 15+ years and highly recommend them to friends. Great mechanics and extensive knowledge about VWs. They fit us in when it’s an emergency, keep track of regular maintenance issues, sell us parts for DIY, and have good rates.
