Brandywine Motor Works in
West Chester (PA)

It's very simple! If you care about price, honesty and competence bring your car to Brandywine Motor Works. Pete and his team are true professionals and I would highly recommend them, no job too big or small. I've literally just returned from picking up my BMW from Pete. The car was booked in with little lead time, I was given a loaner to get me home, the work was completed very quickly in a matter of hours and I paid less than half of what the quote for the same work was from a main BMW dealer. I’ve had Pete look after my last 3 BMWs and I will continue to visit with all future cars. I’m one very happy customer!

Needed coolant system repair. Was able to get the vehicle in right away. Completed in a day. Well done Brandywine Motor Works.

Top notch, honest and affordable car care. Also, they work on all makes and models of cars not just BMW.

Peter was Great. He Explained everything to me and save me over $9k! A local BMW gave me an incredibly high price - over $11k to fix my BMW X3 . Peter looked at my car and told me what was wrong with the car, even showing me the part he took out and why it failed. Thanks!!! You're the best: I thought I was going to have to get a new car. You saved me thousands!! Finally, I'm back in the Driver's seat!

These guys get all my car business. Tied with my nephew’s shop for best overall car shop ever and I have used many. Pete and Dave are my car heroes. They speak fluent BMW and also Subaru believe it or not

Peter effectively resolved a complex issue with my 2020 BMW X5. He quickly pinpointed the problem, gave a thorough explanation, and had me back on the road in no time. I will certainly be returning for all future maintenance needs.

TL;DR - If you’re seeking a trustworthy independent mechanic for your BMW, bring it to Brandywine Motor Works. Peter and Dave were great to work and saved me a great deal of money over what I was quoted for the same work from another Bavarian specialist mechanic in the West Chester area. Don’t make the same mistake I did, bring it here first. A little background - it was my first time seeking a BMW specialist in the WC area and the other mechanic was the first to come up on my Google search bc it was closest and is highly rated, so I called. Mine was not a straightforward case - the top was malfunctioning and because they’re very complicated mechanisms, most mechanics tell you to just take them to the BMW dealership. So I took it there and paid $750 for an unnecessary hydraulic fluid flush of the convertible top mechanism and then was told it needed a new pump and hydraulic lines to be properly repaired at a cost of up to $2500. Upon receiving the quote, I told the owner / lead mechanic to halt all work, hung up the phone and began searching for alternatives. The first place I called was Brandywine - I explained the situation to Peter and he was also surprised at the quote, but asked me to bring the car in so he could assess and validate the diagnosis from the other shop. In the end, the pump was fine but one hydraulic line had ruptured and needed to be replaced. The overall repair, including other unrelated work, cost less than half of the quoted amount. Thanks to Peter, Dave, and CJ for getting my car situated and back on the road.

I've owned and maintained various BMWs since 1992. Once a car is out of warranty, being able to trust your mechanic is critical. I knew of Brandywine but only tried them after the more local mechanic I'd been using blew it. Nearly lost an engine. Pete and Dave just fixed a broken A/C, diagnosed a roof problem, and guided me on how to do some critical maintenance (I do quite a bit of maintenance myself). They have my trust. PS They went private after being at a BMW dealership. Well trained, but running the business their way.

I take all of my cars here because Dave and Pete are the most knowledgeable BMW guys I know. More importantly, when it comes to quality and detail, my standards are really high - they deliver on this expectation without costing me an arm and a leg. Thanks for all the work you guys do, I'll be sending all of my family, friends, and professional contacts to you.

All 5 stars, how could that be? Give them a try, and you will see! I've been taking my car to Dave and Pete for years. They have saved me so much money over the stealer- I mean, dealer. But the most valuable part of their service is trust. I know their character. You simply cannot put a price on that.

They guys are great. Saved ~$1,800 vs dealership during most recent visit and have had awesome service since my wife and I started going here a few years back. Highly recommend for anyone with a BMW.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Pete and Dave are absolutely amazing. They have taken care of both my BMW’s. They are meticulous, and very fair priced. I leave my car in their hands and never think twice. They are knowledgeable with whatever problem is going on. I truly recommend everyone to come here.

David and Peter are experts at Bmw and work on many cars. A really good honest fair shop. You can take a Chrysler there for tires or a bmw for an engine rebuild. You will always get amazing work. These guys are phenomenal with people and cars. Its rare these days to find a shop like this.

Peter and Dave and Brandywine Motor Works are simply the best in the area for German cars. If you care about your ride and the quality of work, this is the place to go. They've done top notch work on multiple cars of mine, always for a more than fair price. They are responsive, pay attention to detail, and make sure to keep you updated on everything they do while your car is in their hands. Thanks again, I'll be back soon!

These guys are great! They're honest, kind, and know what they're doing! I want to note that they didn't ask me to write a review. I wanted to post this all on my own. They did some work on my Prius (no, not a BMW), and were a pleasure. It makes you no longer dread taking the car to the shop. I'll be back!

My partner and I are relocating to the area and are here staying in an Airbnb when my car wouldn’t start… it had been slow starting. I can’t not put a review here! The service, honesty and quick turn around was a pleasure. It turned out to be a simple part when I thought possibly a new starter or more. Had my oil changed as well. I highly recommend using this place for your BMW needs! I have a X1.

I have been taking my cars to Brandywine Motor Works for about 4-5 Years now. I will not take my vehicles anywhere else. Dave and Peter are very good at what they do! They are very honest and transparent. They don’t try and sell you on repairs that you don’t need like other shops have done to me in the past, and I appreciate that. Every time I have brought them a car the work is done promptly and the right way. I have recommended them to my family/friends/coworkers and they all had nothing but good things to say about them. They Specialize in BMW which is how I found them, although they work on everything from classic cars to modern luxury cars. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a new shop, or alternative to the Stealership.

After looking around for a qualified shop that specializes in BMW came across these guys. Did an awesome, clean work on my E39 540i timing chain job. Very reasonably priced, professional and honest! Highly recommended!

Go with your eyes closed! Knowledgeable and honest! Just had them replace bearings and vanos line on my e60 M5. Highly recommend them based on my experience. Pete personally worked on my car and couldn’t be more pleased with the care and attention he gave.

It does not get any better than Brandywine Motor Works and Pete and Dave! They are a pleasure to deal with and go above and beyond for their customers. I can not say enough good things about them and their repair services. They recently installed new brakes on my BMW, fixed an issue indicated by my warning light and stopped a rattle in my sunroof that the dealer never could! So happy I found them (thanks Val) and they will be my "go-to guys". They should be yours, too!

Brandywine Motor Works is honestly the best auto repair facility you will find for your BMW or any German car......period. Dave and Pete (the owners) are a class act and as honest as they come. You will always receive high quality work and never be taken over.

I was in the automotive business for 12 years. I was a technician, service advisor, and shop owner/operator. I don't want to sound egotistical, but considering my background, my opinion on this should be considered more valuable than the average customer. The automotive repair business is a very difficult kind of business to run. These guys have it figured out. Honest and knowledgable is a what you want from your mechanic. Pete and Dave are those guys. Since I'm retired from wrenching, I had to spend a TON of money to fix up my e92 335xi , and I've never been so happy to spend so much on my car. They went extremely far above and beyond. I'm now the customer who hands over my set of keys and says "Whatever it needs. I trust you." Knowing you're in good hands as a customer in the auto repair business is nothing shy of priceless. Long story short, if you have a european car, BMW in particular, and are within a reasonable distance of their shop, you'd be absolutely insane to take it anywhere else, especially the dealership. *NOTE* The only negative review these guys have on google is from an individual who can't put a proper sentence together, and should therefore be ignored, which would make them an auto repair business with a perfect google review history, which is unheard of. Go elsewhere at your own risk!!!

Pete and David are the best, PERIOD. Treated me like family. I have a Mazdaspeed 6 and they replaced the engine in a timely manner, its been running great and puts a massive smile on my face every time, so thank you for that! They were extremely great with communication and let me know exactly what the car needed. Couldn't ask for a better experience. If need be this is the place im coming back to!

These guys are OUTSTANDING! I've never been treated as well, by any repair shop, much less a BMW specialist. Recently; I came into their shop having never met them before, asking if they would take a look at another shop's poor work on my BMW. They made time for me on a Saturday, and followed up by fitting me in early the following week - to remedy my issues as quickly as possible! Both guys know these cars inside and out, and their experience shows. What I was most impressed with, was their hard work and customer service, for someone they had never worked with before. They have made a customer for life with this guy.

These guys are the best! They're Master Techs that know German cars better than most dealership employees and the work quality exceeds most I've encountered. Now that they are open in West Chester, I'm never going back to the the BMW and MB dealerships in my area for service!

Awesome expirence at Brandywine Motor Works, Quality professional work without the dealership cost. They take the time to treat you like a well valued customer no matter how small of a job you’re in there for. They have done great work on my Bmw 335i which had many issues, and will be there this upcoming week with my M4 I have just purchased to have everything looked over and get inspected.

Excellent service on my '11 BMW M3. They went above and beyond to get my car repaired correctly and out the door quickly. This is the third shop I had to go to (the first two were dealerships) to get the issue with my car diagnosed correctly. Not only do these guys know what they're doing, but they were polite and professional as well. I'll be going back for any future maintenance or repairs.
