If you own a BMW or Mercedes, check these guys out should you ever need them serviced. When you go, ask for Alex - he'll be sure to take care of whatever you need. These guys are passionate about cars, and being a small business, they've got much more at stake - so they'll be sure to take care of their customers. You won't be just another number, like at your dealership. I may not know much about cars, but if I ever have any problems, I take my car here.

Plus, where else can you get the first street legal Indy car for under $35K??? That's supposed to be rhetorical people... you can't get one anywhere around here! 0-60 in 4.8... need i say more???

I've started doing my own car maintenance after 6 years of getting fleeced by my BMW dealer's service department. Well, I screwed something up with the cooling fan. Based upon the reviews here, I had my car towed to Carma. I spoke to Alex, and he was able to get the fan, belt and pulley replaced the same day and for less than the "stealership" would have charged!

I will continue to do my own maintenance and basic repairs, but when I have something serious that needs to be fixed, I will not hesitate at all to go to Carma.

We've brought our e30 here a few times now. They're awesome. They do great work, and stand behind it, too! The prices are very reasonable, especially for the work.

The only reason why I'm taking one star off is because of communication. We almost always have to call them to see what is going on with our car, but please, don't let that stop you from taking your car to Carma!

These guys are great! A friend recommended them to me, and I've had an A+ experience with them. I'd been going to the BMW dealership for years and getting charged and arm and a leg every time. I came into Carma with an issue, and they were really fast - they didn't even charge me for the diagnostic because they instantly knew what was wrong and how to address it. I highly recommend this place!

I found this shop tucked behind Heritage Lofts in Chamblee, near where Vintage Pizza is. I have a less than common car, and it can be a problem for unexperienced shops, but the variety of euro cars in the lot gave me hope.

So far Carma has handled my full 80k and 85k service along with some minor things and its been flawless. They've been quick, responsive and friendly - and they are passionate as hell about cars and tuning, which is important to me - I like knowing the owners and employees love what they do.

At the end of the day, its thier integrity that will keep me coming back. When I ran into a problem with Atlanta's (supposedly) premier wheel and tire company, i had returned the car to them FIVE times just to resolve a horrendous rattle in the brakes they put on, and they were telling me it was something with 'my car'....

Carma found the problem and corrected it in 20 minutes, and the bill reflected just that. I can attest to many other shops that would have treated that as an opportunity for an 'hour' of labor - I appreciate Carmas honesty. I will be going back in another 5k.

Specialties

Carma specializes in Maintenance, Repair, and Performance upgrades on BMW, Mercedes, and Special Interest Vehicles (on a case-by-case basis). Carma uses OE and OEM parts exclusively, which means you get the highest quality parts available. Carma's technicians are dealer-trained, which means you get the highest quality workmanship available. Carma maintains dealer-level diagnostic equipment, which means you get the most complete and accurate diagnosis possible. What you don't get is dealer prices -- Carma averages at least 25% less than the dealer on nearly everything, from service to repairs, and everything in-between.

We also offer some things the dealer won't -- like custom Performance Upgrades, and even 90-day financing on some of those more painful repairs!
