ABR Houston

I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. ABR is the only shop that I will ever allow to touch any of my cars. Recently Picked up Burger Tuning’s new full aluminium cat back exhaust for my 2015 M3 through ABR and Alex personally spent time with me making sure it was installed and aligned EXACTLY how I wanted it. The level of service received at ABR is with out question the best I have ever experienced and I have been driving European sports cars for the Last 15 years. VERY Competitive pricing, Friendly staff, spotless bathroom, excellent coffee, comfortable waiting, and KID FRIENDLY! ((just watch out, you might find beef jerky in your sons pocket later on haha)).

I take all of my vehicles to ABR. Whether it’s a Bugatti or a Chevy, Alex at ABR is my mechanic of choice. He’s a straight shooter who won’t steer you towards things you don’t need. His prices are reasonable and he always takes the time to make sure you know exactly what he’s repairing and why. I highly recommend ABR for any car repairs.

I am very pleased with how thoroughly Alex and his crew cared for my car. I won’t take it anywhere else! Thanks guys!

Had an oil leak issue with my car. Brought it in to a shop and was told in addition to the oil leak all my brake pads and brake lines needed to be replaced. Took my car to ABR for a second opinion and was told that the brakes were still fine. Alex explained the process they would do to find and try to fix the oil leak problem. Very pleased with the work that was done so far. Very professional and courteous.

I have takin my car to ABR a few times now, and I have to say that each experience has been better than the last. In the past I have takin my car to other BMW repair shops around Houston and none even come close to the overall experience that ABR has to offer. The last time my car was their I got upgraded turbos put in, and Alex and Paul couldn’t of made the process easier. They kept me updated on everything, and answered all the questioned I had along the way. Alex and Paul know BMW’s like nothing else. The costumer service is superior to any other shop I have been to. I simply don’t trust my car with any other shop than ABR, due to the fact that I know it is in the hands of the best. Keep in mind I also live about an hour away. Alex and Paul always go the extra mile to make sure the job is done right, the first time.

Best service ever. Paul is awesome. I went there because the BMW dealership told me I needed a $ 1250 repair, they quoted $ 500, and when they got the car in the shop, they advised me the repair was not needed. I even asked them for an alignment which would have cost around $ 200, but when they got it up on the machine, they let me know my alignment was good. Honesty is so refreshing especially being a woman. I am always expecting to be lied to. Bones the dog is a sweetheart and the waiting room is clean and comfortable. I will use them for all my BMW repairs from now on and this may encourage me to keep the car beyond warranty. Thank you ABR!

Alex helped me out with accident damage, and did an M3 suspension swap at the same time. He has also installed an LSD in my e92 335. Very communicative and easy to work with. — Kyle

I can’t say better things about ABR, set one foot in to their shop and you will see why. The parking lot and shop is full of every type of BMW you can think of including high end M cars. It makes sense, they are good people to work with that do amazing work at a price that is reasonable. I drive an M3 and after calling almost every certified BMW shop in the area I choose to take my vehicle to ABR. They were awesome to work with and completed the project early at the cost we agreed on. I would tell you that this is the only shop in the Houston area I would take my BMW to, they will treat you and your car right!

Alex has worked on my S54 M Roadster for many years. I followed him from the BMW dealership to his own shop. He genuinely is a BMW master tech, he knows everything about the cars in and out. Best of all he is a total eagle scout white-​boy type that doesn’t cut any corners and will never do anything shady. He just tells you like it is, he is a qualified mechanic, he’s honest, and he knows his craft well. It’s not like dealing with some shady service advisor that is commission based. He just wants to fix your car, and is proud of his work and reputation. The shop is clean, the staff is friendly, there is a great coffee machine, and an awesome shop dog that greets you upon entry! ABR truly is a viable cost effective dealer alternative.

If you own a BMW, ABR is the place you want to take it to for service and repair. I’ve been taking my 08 535i to Alex and his team for the past year. Their service, in my opinion, is better than what you will get at the dealership and they don’t charge near as much. My 535i runs great and I have never felt that I was being pressured to buy any parts or service I didn’t need. ABR is the only place I will take my BMW to for any service. One last thing… they clean your car inside and out before you pick it up. Seriously… I could not be more pleased.

This sucks that I’m going to be the only negative review for this place and is no review on mechanics workmanship and the shop because I never got to experience it, and probably never will unfortunately.
how hard is it to give somebody a quote and if they don’t know what they’re talking about how hard is it to supply them with the proper information then give a quote. Every time I have been to this place I have been treated like I was dumb and just needed to leave. Granted my third question that I went there with was a little naïve but I was expecting you know to get a little bit of education and instead I I just got denied the answer to my question completely no matter how good or how well they know their stuff I will probably never take my BMW there .
First time I went to this place I asked if they could work on my camaro they say no we only work on European cars then I asked if I knew a place that could work on an American car they just reiterated no work on European cars and didn’t point me in the direction of any other shop. Which isn’t really their responsibility but I’m sure they know if shops around them and it would have been helpful to recommend a shop.
Second time I went I asked if I could work on my older Volkswagen engine they’re like no we only work on BMW as they’re saying that I see a LAMBORGHINI & PORSCHE and older PORSCHE in the shop so that threw me off a little bit I mean I didn’t know BMW owns Lamborghini and Porsche I could have sworn that was Volkswagen but hell what do I know.
The third time I called for a quote on a power plant not knowing fully what I was actually asking I was expecting some help on the matter some information and most definitely a quote my initial question I got denied told it was impossible and left with no quote. I want to like this place so bad I really did I love BMWs I love old European cars but this whole experience with them really soured my opinion on them but of course it is only my opinion.
Unfortunately I’ll have to look around for somebody further away from me to work on my e93 and e30 not that this matters to them much.

Alex was extremely helpful when my car needed work. He was prompt getting me in, customer service was great, and repairs were reasonable. They are cost conscious and keep the customer very informed about necessary vs recommended repairs. Would definitely recommend this shop.

Alex has been servicing our BMW for a while now and I wouldn’t even consider going anywhere else! He’s honest and does the best work I’ve seen. When you go to Alex, you’re getting an amazing mechanic and at a reasonable price!

Aside from how to change my tires, I know nothing about cars so finding a reputable, honest repair shop that won’t try and overcharge me because I don’t know better is definitely a challenge. Alex at ABR towed our dead BMW from my house, diagnosed, & fixed everything wrong with it for an extremely fair price. They were always incredibly professional from start to finish and it doesn’t hurt that Bones is an absolute delight to see when you walk in their shop. I’d highly recommend ABR.

Alex Noll, the owner and operator, is a top flight BMW technician and a dedicated business owner. Best independent shop in Houston. Period.

This is the place to go for any car needs! I called regarding a repair for my BMW, couldn’t ask for anyone nicer or more carrying not only about my car, but in a personal level as well! Wish there was a 10 star rating!

The caliber of Alex and his men at ABR are second to none. They worked over night to make sure fitment was top notch on the aftermarket parts being installed and refused to deliver anything but perfection. Without a doubt the highest quality work. Highly recommend to any and all for your car needs.

Alex and his crew are top notch. Their customer service is awesome– they call with frequent updates and always make sure to explain everything that they are doing in detail, which I find is pretty rare for an auto shop. They’re very patient with me when I have any questions and really put me at ease. The best thing about them? They are extremely honest; they always let me know if I need to do a repair immediately or if I can wait a couple of months to take care of it. I’ve dealt with so many shady mechanics over the years… I’m beyond happy that I found these guys! This is the only shop that I trust with my car. I highly recommend them!

Fantastic independent shop! Took my swapped wagon here for some diagnostic work. They gave me all the answers I needed and didn’t suggest unnecessary repairs!

I have been coming here for the past year, and will be for all my future repairs and upgrades. Alex and his team are a great group that are honest and fair. They always take the time to just talk or thoroughly explain what they are going to do to the car. I highly recommend ABR for all your repair and upgrade needs. Thank you Alex and team for running a great shop.
