Bo Jonssons Foreign Car Service - San Mateo (CA)

5 /5 Cindy Moore: Trustworthy, knowledgeable, efficient, friendly, quick ...what else to be a stellar repair shop? Thank goodness for me and my Volvo that we found Patric.

5 /5 Jason Lee: Jonsson’s is fair and honest. I highly recommend them. Patric is the owner and Pete was my mechanic. Don’t go to Peter Pan BMW service because they will rip you off. Go to Jonsson’s I had a convertible problem on my 2009 BMW convertible top. BMW quoted me $2614.26 (see photos) and Bo Jonsson charged me essentially $150. They are honest and did a great job. See attached photos of the quotes and problem. BMW tried to gouge me for sure. I said his price was essentially $150 because I only had a problem with the right side and asked them to replace the left side as it would wear out soon. So total for both sides was $298.57 Here’s the detail. The inside of my c pillar is covered with a cosmetic trim piece. It closes and opens as the top goes up and down. There is a cable that attaches to the trim piece and routes to a spring anchor location in the trunk. That cable got stretched and the trim piece did not close correctly. See photos. I took it to Patric at Bo Jonsson and he said an estimate of 2 hrs but he would only charge me for the actual time. I took it to BMW after that and explained in detail to the service manager and showed him the cable replacement. Then he responded by saying that the whole rail trim piece with cables would have to be replaced. I tried to explain that it didn’t make sense but all he did was repeat himself. Quote was $2616.14. Attempted rip off failed as I went to Jonsson’s! I took it to Bo Jonsson the next day and watched the mechanic Pete repair it. He did both sides at 1.75 hrs which was less than the 2 hrs Patric quoted!

5 /5 Andrew Dorsa: I called Bo Johnssons with help on purchasing a BMW X5 Diesel. They were incredibly helpful with providing feedback on the vehicles history and common issues I should be aware of. I highly recommend this shop!

5 /5 Doug C: I had the most amazing experience dealing directly with Bo at Bo Jonssons Foreign Car Service after a harrowing experience where my 2006 Eclipse lost an axle on the freeway as I started a trip back home to Los Angeles. I was desperate to get it fixed and get back on the road. Bo went above and beyond to help me out. The damage was extensive and required a new axle, but they could not find a vital additional piece on such short notice to make it work (no surprise given the age of my car). Despite this setback, Bo and his team were undaunted and went to extraordinary lengths to manually fabricate a repair to the damaged piece. To my surprise, they completed the entire job in just one day! Not only did they fix my car, but Bo also gave me an office to work in all day and provided me with invaluable insights about what had happened. He truly went out of his way to ensure that I was taken care of. The best part? The price they charged me was unbelievably reasonable given the quality of service I received. I have never seen such great value for what I paid for a car repair before. Its clear that Bo and his team are passionate about what they do and genuinely care about their customers. Overall, I cant recommend this auto repair shop enough. I only wish they were closer to where I live in Los Angeles. If youre in the San Mateo area and need your car fixed, this is the place to go. Thank you, Bo and team, for going above and beyond to get me back on the road!

5 /5 Steven Schultz: Pat has been the only mechanic I let work on my Subaru and never had any issues or failures. He is honest when addressing concerns about the car and never forced me todo any repairs that were not necessary. He is a stand up guy and has a great team working for him. I would highly recommend his service.
