Bellars Motor Works

TRUSTWORTHY! These guys have huge knowledge when it comes to BMW..without the ridiculous hourly rate associated with a BMW main dealer.

Very disappointed with work on my Mini. Car was in and out and when in they kept it for ages stating they were waiting the tools to work on it. Car had $3K worth of work done on it and was worse than when it went in. The work was 3 times what was told and work was complete to a poor standard. Turbo pipe was not even connected correctly and was replaced with one that was not mine. Came back out with 2nd hand different coils to what it went in with and one spark plug was not even tightened. I had lots of photos of the engine hence why I knew issues with before and after. I asked for a full diagnostic run to graph out issues against a base car, not just error codes from ODB, never received this and work was carried out without diagnosis.

It's almost the end of 2021 and my engine light came on for NOX Sensors from the report from Yellow automotive service company (you know whom). The second time I went to to them to repair it, they asking for 1,695 dollars for one sensor. Good service, and help desk, but I'm very disappointed and stressed of over price and they didn't ask for insurance. Now, I went to internet for the last time and I finally found a bimmer blog post about six years ago and I found a few mechanic shops specialize in BMW that close to my area and Bellars Motor Works quite far from my place but a love of my BMW. I called to this shop first to ask the price and told what happen and I spoke to Ken for the first time, friendly and generous guy (God father's for my car) but i ignored of negative reviews about admins, they are good, they are know what they're doing. Droped the car round afternoon, I have no choice to sit around the park and bus station until 4 due to level 3 restrictions. During that time, Ken called and explained everything, every details, why and what not, then he told me he will use my insurance to covered it, I mean without asking me that's so generous of him. He replaced the NOX Sensor(s) and he will repairs the Oxygen Sensor(s) as well in few weeks because the part from overseas. Come down to the price is only 413 dollars and some cents. I mean, I'm in love with this place now and hope this shop will stay forever including Ken and staff too. (I wish, I'd study mechanic and work there) Big thank you to Bellars Motor Works and most adorable dog in the office. Now Ken knows me as NOX Sensor guy. From readers thank you for read until the end. And apology for my grammar if this made you confused.

It's always stressful when your BMW has problems. I'm based in Rotorua but my daughter is based in Auckland so when she rings with an engine check light on and the car is hardly running my stress goes off the chart. But once again Bellars Moto Works has come to the rescue. Every one of the staff are a pleasure to deal with. And the being a technician myself I appreciate that the guys are proactive with their work practises. I rate these guys 10/10 Stress gone, car is fixed and daughter is back on the road - thanks guys appreciate the speedy repair and very reasonable charges.

Excellent BMW mechanics, possibily the best for BMW in Auckland. KEN and the Team have decades of experiences and they know what they are doing. Loan cars provides if needed. They are efficient and always finish the jobs on time. Handy location, closed to motorway exits and bus terminal. Don't empty your bank accounts by going to BMW dealers because you won't get personal services there. If your existing mechanics are giving you run around on your BMW repairs and charging you labour hours for their inexperiences, give Bellar a try. They open Monday to Fridays, drop off starts 730am in the mornings. Highly recommended.
