I have owned two BMW's and Vanguard is the only place that I will take my car to be serviced. Gary is hands down the best mechanic that I have used. His knowledge and expertise is amazing, his prices are always very fair, and Paula is also fantastic. Vanguard is the best!!

I can't say enough about Gary Grande, his wife, and the whole Vanguard team. These guys will take the time to explain in detail what needs to be done, why, and help you prioritize the services if there are multiple to be done. They live and breathe BMWs and Porshes, and it shows in their excellent work.
