Good people

I found this shop through my son, who knows many car people, after getting a crazy estimate from the BMW dealer for my brakes. Caleb, was the person we worked with, we brought my car in, he first checked to make sure it was brakes that I needed, and not just a bad sensor. He hooked my car up to a diagnosis deal, and he also put my car up and checked front and rear brake pads etc. Indeed I needed brakes, front and rear. He then asked a few questions, and gave us 2 quotes. Both were several hundreds of dollars less than the dealership. We asked how long it would take to get the parts etc. he said only a day, and to call when we were ready. No hard sell or anything. I called him on a Saturday when we were ready to do the brakes, he had all the information, and was able to get my car in that Monday. We also asked them to change the differential fluid, oil, and check the other fluids. They took care of everything, and changing the diff and oil didn't even add much to the quote. Everything is running great and my brakes are perfect. I would highly recommend Nelson's Green Garage to anyone that has a BMW, Caleb and the techs knew a lot about them, so I knew it was in good hands. A big thanks to all that worked on my car! Go here, you will not be sorry! I know I will be back for any future work.

They are very knowlegeable about BMW's, and they charge much less than the dealer, and they had my car done in a day, even though they had to get parts! I would highly recommend them to anyone that wants honest service at great prices! Caleb is awesome to work with, he is very in tune with his customers and the employees.

my car was fixed in no time!! and fixed very well!!! Very trusting people and very good at what they do! this is the place to be!

Had an off feeling from the get-go when I took my car to another Nelson's location and it ended up here; my gut turned out right. When they moved my car here, they didn't lock it. The shop is adjacent a shelter for recovering drug users (which I'm glad is operating there, and is badly needed), so you'd figure they would be careful about this sort of thing. However, they weren't, and my car was broken into, and several expensive items (GPS unit, sunglasses, backup wallet) were stolen from the center console and trunk (I'd have missed this if they hadn't forgotten to replace the side panels in the trunk after taking it apart), and a cigarette was left in the cup holder. (I don't smoke cigarettes.) To their credit, they bought me a new GPS, but said they cannot reimburse for other items and told me they've been taken to court over this before and have been found to not be liable for stolen items. I took the car after it would not start up. The first time, they failed to see any problem at all, so the $100 towing charge was for naught. The second time this happened, they were able to find the problem. The fuel pump needed to be replaced. They quoted this job at just shy of $1000. Once I looked up the parts and subtracted the cost of labor and parts from the quote, I found they were overcharging by about $400. This price dropped substantially once I communicated this by phone. (If I hadn't known this, though, I'd be in the hole for quite a bit of money.) The fuel pump they replaced in my car was defective, so I had to bring it back for them to install a new one. While replacing the fuel pump, they broke a rubber gasket in the engine. They noticed this and replaced it. However, the fuel gauge is still reading incorrectly. On top of that, on a road trip shortly afterwards, my exhaust & muffler dropped down and rattled against the road. I pulled over immediately and took it to a local shop, where they were able to repair it shortly. The straps holding the exhaust on were fine; it turns out, the mechanics who dropped the exhaust and tank earlier hadn't properly replaced the straps holding the exhaust in, so when it hit a bump in the highway, it just fell out. To be clear, I don't own an exotic car that's hard to work on. It's a Chevy. After this, I've done all the work myself and haven't had any such issues. If I can do a better job with borrowed tools and YouTube, best steer clear of this shop.
