I was Bill's first customer back in 1985. He changed out the motor in my BMW 2002 at his house. Thirteen years later, and two locations removed, I still hop in the car and drive 90 miles from Houston to see him when I need work done on my current BMW 528e. His shop has grown to encompass a large bldg. on the southside of College Station. He likes BMWs and Mercedes the best and is the only authorized Bosch service center in east-central Texas

When I moved from Bryan-College Station I knew I was going to miss this mechanic and I was right. He kept my 79 Volvo 244DL running in good shape and was always able to resolve the problem the first time. When my wife and I had to move to DC, I took her old Honda Prelude (he specializes in European cars but I like him so much I take our Honda there, too) in and said, "We're driving this halfway across the country--please look this over carefully b/c we can't afford a breakdown." Now if that's not opening yourself up, I don't know what is. He came back with one sticking caliper and that was it. This guy is good and honest. Makes taking your car in for repair that much more stress free.

Bill has helped me with my 1992 740 Volvo that has just made it to 180,000 miles. We've had to do some major work on my car but Bill has always told me what was absolutely necessary, what he recommended, and what could wait. I've appreciated knowing that I had a mechanic I could trust. His work is expensive but it is good quality and worth it.

Bill is an amazing mechanic. The amount of expertise and technology you will find at Autoworks trumps just about everything else in College Station. "Cheap Labor ain't good and good Labor ain't Cheap" is a motto that holds true for Autoworks. Your car will be fixed right the first time whenever you take it to Autoworks. I know they did that for me and my Volvo, and they will do the same for you.

Bill is a great mechanic! He has extended the life of my 2002 BMW. It has 130K miles on it and it still runs great. I especially appreciate the convenience that most of the time I can get a loaner car while he works on mine. Bill and his team provide outstanding quality service. I never had a problem not fixed the first time I brought the car in for repairs. The repair cost is fair and reasonable and in-line with the dependable quality of service.

I took my Mercedes E-350 in for its A service. I had to remind them after the Fact to rotate the tires. The mechanic then told me the front struts had some "soft spots". I told him I was not experiencing any handling Issues. He commented that if I drove another E350 I would notice the difference. They estimated $1,700 to replace the struts and align the car. They carved $500 for the A service. After leaving the shop I discovered that they had overinflated all my tires. I just had my car checked by my Mercedes dealer. They said the front end is in good repair and does not require struts or other parts. On top of that the dealer said their charge for struts and alignment is $1,200 as opposed to $1,700. I am disappointed that this shop tried to take advantage. Although I live 90 minutes from the nearest Mercedes dealer, it looks like I have to make the drive since I can't trust the Autoworks shop.
