Service is our specialty. Sure, you could say that we also specialize in import and domestic repairs - VWs and Audis in particular. More importantly though, we take pride in our work and are committed to quality repairs and friendly customer service. We're all in this together. Our crew is a dedicated group of people, and we all actually like coming to work.

And while we always take the job at hand seriously, we still try to make Bavarian a good place to be. We want you to tell your friends and family about our honest, no-BS approach. And more than anything, we want to keep you coming back. So far, so good. Heck, in our first year of business alone we had over 1000 regular customers.
Services
If you're looking for reliable mechanics to provide factory-specified maintenance or major repair services on your import, you can trust Bavarian to do the job properly and on time. From Volkswagen and Audi, to Subaru and Nissan, we provide top-notch repair work for every make and model of import vehicle - you can see our knowledge and love of imports in every job we complete.
It's true - even though our name is Bavarian Imports, we're proud to offer our services on all makes and models of domestic vehicles as well. Because really, we specialize in providing our customers with the best service possible more than anything else. That means when you bring in your domestic vehicle for routine maintenance or major repairs, you'll be treated fairly and honestly.
Bavarian started as an import repair shop, and over the years we've gathered an incredible amount of experience working on Volkswagens and Audis. So if you're a VW or Audi driver looking for a trustworthy and reliable mechanic shop to service your vehicle, look no further than Bavarian. From dealer maintenance to major repairs, our friendly service and knowledgeable staff makes us a great choice to work on your favourite German vehicle.
We'll even keep track of your maintenance schedule and let you know so the work done on time. Trust us: once you've been to Bavarian for your vehicle maintenance, you'll never return to the dealer again. A lot of our customers are under the impression that they are required to take their new vehicles to the dealer for servicing in order to protect their warranties.
Finding the right mechanic can be tough, and nobody wants to feel like they've been ripped off. So far we've talked a lot about our dedication to keeping our customers happy - but talk is cheap. Instead, why not read what our customers have to say? Although we've never really collected customer reviews before (until our website guy started making us), below are a handful of official reviews recently written by our customers.

Rarely you find mechanics that will tell you if something does not have to be fixed! The best mechanics I’ve ever been to in my life I will go back again and again as needed recommend it highly!

My husband and I have been taking our two BMWs here for the last five years and I can't say enough good things. Owner is efficient and knowledgeable, problems always get resolved quick, pricing is super reasonable, and on multiple occasions they have dissuaded us from spending money to fix things (i.e. notifications that have popped on) that don't matter for the function/safety of the vehicle. I think this is pretty outstanding and unusual. From what I value with respect to car servicing and repair, I don't think you could ask for more. 5 stars.

Helped me last minute after being sent to them through a friend at Mr.lube in town when they found problems with the bmw (hardline) plus needed new cap. They took me in as soon as I arrived after phoning to confirm and told I was sent through friends. Got in and out in about an hour fresh and taken care of. Very professional and productive at a good price. Wouldn't accept my tip for taking me in so quick either.

Easily the best VW mechanic in Nanaimo, these guys are awesome! Super knowledgeable, professional, and all around very friendly. They did an amazing job working on my retro 1978 VW bus. They fixed so many little things and my vehicle had never driven so smoothly until it left their parking lot at the end of the visit. You can be sure I’ll be back there again when I need more work done on my bus! 10/10

This is my second review for Bavarian... I do not normally take the time to write reviews but the staff at Bavarian have taken such good care of my vehicles and my busy schedule over the years the 5 star rating is more than deserved. No matter the make and model these guys will be able to fix it.

Took my car there for the first time today to have one of my front lights fixed and there was a whole bunch of hidden wiring issues throughout the car. Everything was fixed at an awesome price and very quickly! Dropped off the car in the morning and it was done by mid-afternoon. I am very happy with my car and definitely recommend checking this place out!
