Kummrow Automotive LLC

I just had another great experience with Pat and the team at Kummrow. I have been taking all of our vehicles to Kummrow since their inception in 2008 (actually took my BMW's to Pat well before he even opened his own shop) because they do incredible work, are trustworthy and fairly priced. What's more, they do what's right and needed rather than just doing one-size-fits-all dealer dictates. Performance enhancements are another competency that I've thoroughly enjoyed over the years. Pat and team have prepped and maintained several of my cars to handle the rigors of tracks like Road America where failure is not an option sans bad consequences. I've always had total confidence in Kummrow, and when I purchased my latest car, an Audi S4, I looked to Pat and company to handle all of my service needs. It's been close to 20 years since I began dealing with Pat, and there's nobody I trust more. Thank you!

Kummrow automotive is run by real deal mechanics who know their stuff. They have done great work on my new/modern cars as well as great work on my classic car. I trust them and am more than willing to pay for their expertise and professionalism.

Kummrow has worked on a modified new to me 04 R32 several times now. Communication is friendly and top notch, timely estimates and repair. They where able to complete an alignment that involved adjustable aftermarket suspension, tire install and brake flush. Several weeks later accommodated a short notice water pump replacement when I had it towed in. Answered several questions I had not related to the repair done to the best of their ability without charge. Very fair prices for German car care using OEM+parts.

Fantastic shop with great knowledge. Always friendly. Always helpful. …Thanks guys!

One the most honest and upfront mechanics in Milwaukee. Great service and prices always beat the dealerships. Andy is great.

I have been going to Kummrow for years and can't say enough good things about the shop. Most recently they worked on my new (to me) E30 and went above and beyond. Sent it in for some preventative maintenance and they went the extra mile to fix some other issues which resulted in it running significantly better than I expected it to. Andy grabbed a spare part from his parts-bin at home and after all was said and done, Pat gave me the break down of what was done, what still needed to be done and offered advice where to look next to get the car in even better shape. I always head to Kummrow.

Kummrow Automotive is a very competent specialty European car shop. They are easy to deal with and communication has been consistently good. On my 2015 BMW 335 X-drive with 85K miles, Kummrow replaced three leaking engine gaskets, replaced the worn-out and leaking struts and rebuilt the front disc brakes. The three-day job was done on time and at the quoted price. About two weeks after I picked the car up, while passing, the Check Engine light went on and the car was running rough. I took it back and the guys at Kummrow discovered the motor for the eccentric shaft had somehow become disconnected, even though that connector was far from where they had worked. They did the simple fix and charged me nothing for the diagnostic and repair work. The car now runs as smooth as it did when new. Kummrow has my trust to do the repair and make it right if there’s a problem.

The folks at Kummrow are absolutely top notch. I had the unfortunate experience of purchasing a used BMW only to have it leave me stranded on the side of the road 7 days later with a significant engine fault.

I contacted Andy at Kummrow and let him know I'd be having it towed in, within an hour of the car arriving at the shop, they had an understanding of the car's issues and proceeded to communicate clearly and often with me about what the car needed and why, as well as what it would cost. I thought my car would be down for a few weeks, but they ordered the parts quickly and had the car done within days!

I can't recommend these guys highly enough. Andy and his team made me a happy customer and I will be referring friends and family to them in the future.

Amazing customer service, Andy
answered all my questions and even
squeezed me in before the weekend so l
can enjoy my car!

They installed a Dinan mid pipe for my
340i (sounds great) and I plan to continue to bring my car there to have additional aftermarket components installed when the time comes!

Highly recommend this place as the team is very professional, granted I didn't have the opportunity to talk everyone there, but Andy and Scott were
welcoming and professional. There was one more guy there that helped me load up my stock mid pipe, didn’t catch his name, but he was also a great guy!

2023 Update: Brought my car in to have aftermarket suspension installed as well as new wheels/tires to be mounted balanced and an alignment done. I stand by my first review of Kummrow team, they're awesome to work with. Highly recommend Kummrow Automotive!

Thanks Kummrow team!

On every occasion, Kummrow Auto has provided me with outstanding customer service & top-notch repairs & maintenance on my VW Passat. Along with performing relatively routine repairs (brakes, oil changes, tires, etc.) reliably & honestly, their knowledgeable techs can also handle any of the more challenging or unique repairs that can surface in a VW. Most recently, they completed a flawless engine swap with ZERO related post-repair problems. This is an extremely difficult task to do well & I've read numerous posts detailing the ongoing issues & costs that can arise from a poorly executed engine swap. So, if you need an honest & knowledgeable mechanic whose results are reliable & superior to the rest, Kummrow Auto is the place to visit!!

I visit Kummrow regularly for oil changes on my Jetta TDI and always feel welcomed by the friendly staff and handsome mechanics. Recently, my car started falling apart and it was quickly diagnosed and repaired. Pricing has remained fair even while our economy is in shambles. There have been few and far between instances where I had to wait on a part to ship or wasn’t able to get my car in within the week, but I’m pretty sure this locally owned Milwaukee business isn’t in control of the worldwide shipping and freight issues almost every human on earth is facing. Thanks Kummrow!

Prompt and friendly service. Fair pricing and good communication. Support your local business they are great.

I’m fortunate enough to have been introduced to Kummrow when my E39 was still a pup. They’ve maintained it, repaired it and generally cared for the M5 right along. They’re honest, thorough and incredibly skilled car people. I’d trust them with anything.

The whole team at Kummrow is awesome. They always exceed our expectations. Having owned a BMW for the last 19 years I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. At 189k miles my car may not look new, but it sure runs like it. Thank you Pat and the whole team.

Kummrow Automotive is a wonderful European automotive shop. I started using them because my previous independent shop started making mistakes.

Kummrow has always done exactly what they said they are going to do, and in a timely matter. I find if I want certain parts installed, I source them ahead of time. This speeds up the entire process.

I would also like to point out to other potential customers that if you have a high performance vehicle, expect higher bills. We have an X3 and a 550i. The 550i is always more expensive to fix, and this is not a reflection on Kummrow, this is the nature of owning such a vehicle.

Only place you should have your BMW worked on in SE Wisconsin. The knowledge and expertise here on these German cars is better than every other shop.

This shop might be a bit more expensive than other places in town, but you get what you pay for here. They do great work and do not cut corners. It's the only shop in town that I trust for service & repair on my older BMWs.

First visit after using VW dealer for years. Changed after recent dealer quoted $360 for $60 fan regulator part that i was able to replace in 15 minutes. Also dealer could not accommodate checking engine check light very quickly.
Overall experience at Kummrow, easy scheduling accommodating taking my car in the same day, listened to my request and symptoms, quoted costs up front after diagnosis competed, work done correctly as far as I can tell.
I can't claim this was cheaper than dealer but believe it was definitely competitive.
I also know that not every experience can be great but I left with a sense of honest work for the $900+ cost of all repairs.

Pat, Andy and The team at Kummrow have exemplified the auto repair shop experience. Kummrow has become the sole service provider to all of our German vehicles. Is it comforting knowing the repair team has years worth of highly-trained experience and is able to diagnose even the most troublesome repairs. The added benefit of using all OEM replacement parts ensures repairs are done right the first time.

They have effortlessly worked with me to maximum my repair value.

The approach to seamlessly operate such a successful business is hard to replicate and I wouldn't hesitate giving my recommendation to anyone in need of service, preventative maintenance or performance and track-day upgrades.

Thanks. - J

I've had my BMW serviced twice in the past two months by Kummrow and each time I've walked away feeling like I've been treated like human being! My car is running fantastic and I wasn't nickel and dimed. I would highly recommend them if you have a BMW (or probably other imports as well.
