I use Auto Hans exclusively for work on my S550. They have been my choice for the last 3 S classes and have only good things to say about their work.

Beware of Auto Hans Inc.



An inspection of the 1999 BMW Z3 I purchased from Auto Hans Inc.



1. Discount Tire determined that the two front tires have flat spots with 3/32” of tread removed; both front wheels are bent and require replacement…based on the technician’s opinion, this is evidence of a severe braking event and collision.

2. Front clip of car has been re-sprayed and there is a slight ripple in the hood denoting stress from a collision. The center air duct is missing and the right/left duct brackets are damaged.

3. Secondary air pump (smog device) vacuum hose was broken yet Auto Hans gave the car a passing grade and an Inspection sticker...The Department of public safety were notified and thy are currently investigating.

4. Engine warning light came on two days after purchase, repeated attempts to clear light failed.

5. Multiple fault codes are present. Emissions,

6. The ABS, Traction Control, and Cruse control lights do not illuminate when ignition key is turned to on position.

7. Various interior dash components including those that house the instrument cluster are severely damaged and beyond repair. It appears someone hastily removed these parts to gain access to the instrument cluster.

8. An inspection of the instrument cluster indicates someone tampered with it and eliminated the ABS, Traction Control and other critical lights that indicate inoperative safety systems…



These inspections were performed by certified BMW Technicians at their shop with the proper BMW diagnostic computer.



Here are their conclusions.

1. The car sustained a frontal impact which damaged the car.

2. Someone deliberately disabled onboard warning lights to hide inoperable safety systems e.g. the ABS-Traction control module (which is not working) and other systems needed for driver safety.

3. An inspection of the car by a qualified repair station would have detected numerous red flags which should have been addressed prior to placing the car for sale.



Note: The car was advertised to be in great shape and was inspected by seller.

AutoHans is the best independent shop for german cars. My 2002 Gelandewagen has a "check engine" light on, after initial fix the light came up again (at that point I started to suspect it was the main reason why the car ended up on the parking lot at a dealership). I went back to the shop, where it was tested several times, some parts was replaced in a different combinations, and tested again. Finally the issue was solved and I were happily drove away. I ended up with en impression, that mechanics at autohans fixed the problem that official dealership mechanics could not solve. During entire process, I has had good communication with Alex over email, with explanations of what is going on and possible casues, The job is well done, and I will be back for maintenance and necessary repairs.

I just took delivery of my new Suzuki Kizashi from Clay Cooley Suzuki in Dallas, Texas, and I am very happy! I got a great deal, they treated me well, and they even went to another city to get the exact car I wanted! Further, they were able to help me and my wife with our credit, and that was a huge benefit. I had been all over town looking for a car, and a loan, and no one seemed to want to help me. Brad at Clay Cooley is the one to talk to.
