MINHS Automotive in
Brooklyn (NY)

so helpful. Joel is the best! he explains everything super well and makes it easy to understand. They also show you pics of any fixes needed which definitely gives you trust in them. THANKS YALL

Excellent shop for European cars. I own a Volvo XC90 2013 model and MINHS has done a great job in checking everything is in order and repairing any defects. They are quite reasonably priced compared to dealership and always sends a detailed inspection report that includes photos, videos and their remarks before you decide what to do with the car.

For example, my O2 sensor was causing issues with the catalytic converter efficiency and they sent graphs and videos describing it in detail.

all the thousands of 5 star reviews are true. These guys are courteous, communicative, price is always reasonable and they’re all experts. It’s a world apart from the volvo service department

Went here for an inspection because my check engine light was on and I saw evidence of rodents under the hood. My car was giving a ton of fault codes that were all voltage related, and I thought it could have been wiring damage from rodents. They were aware that this was the reason I needed an inspection. They did the $200 inspection and then told me I needed a new battery and I needed to replace the entire intake manifold, among some other basic maintenance I could benefit from, quoting me at over $2500. On the advice of close mechanics friends and my own intuition, I said thanks for the inspection and picked up the car. They told me they did not inspect all the wiring, which was disappointing given that was what I brought the car in for specifically, and wish they had informed me they did not plan to do so before I agreed on the inspection. I then took the car to another mechanic I've worked with before who almost immediately found that a sensor was disconnected. He reconnected the sensor, and all fault codes went away. It seems ridiculous to me that this reputable mechanic did a "full inspection" and did not find that there was a sensor disconnected and instead tried to get over $2500 for me to replace the intake manifold which wouldn't have solved the very simple issue anyway.

MINHS did a FANTASTIC job repairing my 2009 Land Rover LR3 last week which had a major coolant leak. Joel was absolutely amazing all along the process from initial call, to checking me in, assessing the issues, laying out the cost and expected timing to the repairs which were all 100% accurate to his assessments. Overall top quality job even cleaned up the engine interior a bit on this old vehicle looks almost new. I would highly recommend MINHS and especially Joel! Oh BTW they offer a 3 year warranty on their service!

Excellent service at MINHS Automotive . Everyone is very professional from start to finish . Work done properly and at a very fair price . Highly recommended!!!

Professional friendly service, each time I go. Took the time to help put on the front license plate, have been going to MINHS for 3 years now and will continue to for any automotive service. Thanks again !

MINHS Automotive is always professional and timely. The team is friendly helpful and looking out for your best. If you have a lux vehicle that needs proper attention at not dealer repair shop prices, these are the folks.

We’ve now been to MINHS twice for annual inspections that both included other work for our 2015 VW GTI. The staff and service have been so wonderful. We love the communication system used for appointments and estimates, and the team just makes everything clear and easy. Definitely worth the trip for us to come from Manhattan to Brooklyn for our vehicle.

Brought my SUV there after another shop could not diagnose what was causing my car to fail inspection. Brought they SUV there in the morning by mid afternoon they called and explained exactly what the issue was and what was needed to repair the problem.
Joel and his staff were outstanding and so friendly !!!

All of the positive reviews are spot-on. This is an excellent business with top-notch customer service. Joel was my advisor - he was friendly, professional, patient, highly informative, and prompt with all communications. After a horrible experience at BMW of Brooklyn, this place restored my faith in quality automotive service. Thanks, MINHS team (especially Joel)!

I've owned a low mile BMW E36 M3 now for 14 years, and have high standards for this car. I've used other well known, (if not famous), independent BMW and German car shops in Ridgewood, Mineola, and Oceanside over the years. But it's the guys at MINHS, particularly, Jason, Christos and James, who have managed to earn my trust and repeat business with their customer service, passion, competency and attention to detail. Believe the hype. These guys are great.

Oryginały I had an appointment at bmw dealer but I didn’t like their reviews and 2,5 stars and the attitude the lady had over the phone. So I was searching for a place that specifically take care of German cars I came across this place made an appointment online. When I arrived they were super nice and place is clean. They super detailed with everything give you heads up what needs to be done and what can wait not like other places. They are honest. I think this place is worth a try if you don’t want to get ripped of by some mechanic and if you want your car to be taken care well they are def a place to go. I had a good experience. From now on this is going to be my place to go.

Because of a parking accident, the clear plastic cover on one front headlight of my 2019 VW Golf wagon was cracked. Mostly the damage was a scratch but at the center of it, the crack went clean through. No piece of it was broken or detached, and the interior space remained immune to water leakage. But the headlight unit would have to be replaced at some point, and the unit alone was expensive, close to $2000, not counting labor. When I contacted VW dealers, they quoted by total costs near $3000 and their explanations were jumbled (perhaps because they were communicated second-hand by someone other than the mechanic or shop-manager). At MINH Automotive, my call was taken by the shop manager who looked up the parts list (two required items) and explained why the unit was expensive (basically, it electronically controlled separate smart-bulbs for turn-signals and front-lighting under various environmental conditions). He quoted a price that was more exact and a bit less than the dealers' quotes. More to the point, he gave me confidence that the price was honest and that the job would be done right.

I typically do not write reviews, but I grant an exception in this case as I am extremely pleased with the level of service I received at MINHS Automotive. Joel and the team conducted a thorough diagnostic of my vehicle, and I appreciated the detailed inspection report, complete with clear recommendations and supporting pictures. Their transparency and professionalism made me feel confident in their expertise. Highly recommend for anyone seeking honest, quality automotive care. I will definitely return for future service.

This place is the best. You walk in, you get greeted, they serve you, get you out, do things when they say they will, they do them well, they do them well, at a fraction of what the dealier charges, they do them on time and they communicate. I will never go to a dealership ever again and will only return to this place exclusively. Also, Joel was phenomenal!

Minhs stands out amongst many shops because they are a cut above the rest. From service reminders, appointments online, free multi-point inspections with photos sent directly to your cell, service recommendations/history logging, Carfax updates, 3-year service warranty included on all of their parts/labor, transparent pricing. You know a shop is ran well just by looking at how clean and organized everything is. The service managers are amazing and they send you comms throughout the entire process and will take the time to explain and diagnose issues (shout out to James!). They’re the gold standard and the ones I trust to look after my SQ5.

I brought my 2020 Mini Cooper for a few minor issues I was having. Matt was super helpful both over the phone and in person. He listened to my concerns, gave me helpful advice, and took care of everything for me. My car ended up just needing a transmission oil change, which they took care of as well as doing a complimentary car check. All in all, 10/10 experience.

MINHs does an excellent job repairing my older Audi A6. They are honest and reasonable about what needs to be replaced / repaired vs. not. Far better experience than any dealership maintenance.

100% the best experience I’ve had. These guys are honest, kind, fast and really care. They took the time to explain the issues they found with my 2006 Range Rover in a way that was clear and easy to understand, without any pressure to make unnecessary fixes. Cannot recommend them highly enough!

Shared on Yelp too - but was easy to book online even though it was my first time at MINHS. I checked in with Joel and he explained everything clearly/concisely. The pricing was great, the service was friendly - this place exceeded expectations and I will be back when the Volvo needs it!

Today I had the brake rotors and pads replaced on my BMW 3 Series. The entire experience was excellent. All the staff were very friendly and professional. A special shout-out to Jason—he really knows his stuff and was very helpful throughout the process.

The quote I received was even a bit cheaper than what the BMW dealer offered, and they completed everything the same day. If you're looking for reliable and knowledgeable service for your German car, I highly recommend this place!

This was the second time I had my 2010 BMW 328iX serviced at MINHS Auto. I went back to them because these guy's are great. Everyone and anyone I spoke to over the phone was very knowledgeable, besides being patient, kind and courteous. I am very pleased with all the work that they performed and have absolutely no complaints. The repairs on a car like mine is very expensive, but MINHS auto prices are very reasonable, especially compared to a BMW dealership. I hope I have no more problems with my car, but If I do, I know that I have MIHNS auto to take care of it. And that gives me piece of mind..Thank you guy's, each and every one of you.

Took my Bentley to them and it was an amazing experience. The whole team is super knowledgeable and friendly. Nick was a great help and down to earth. Take your car here if you care about it!

Had my BMW M performance 2 series get a Dinan suspension and exhaust upgrade here. They did an outstanding job and kept me informed with status updates throughout the day while I was at work. They were trustworthy, resourceful and transparent with me throughout the entire process.

After talking to the mechanic who worked on my car, I could just sense his enthusiasm and love for cars. It just seems that these guys really take pride in the work that they do. For someone who also takes pride in his vehicle, I will be coming back again.
