I have a modified M3 and Scotty has done a great job servicing it, even with the modification; he's the only one I'll take my BMW to.  He's straight forward on what "could" be fixed vs what "needs" to be fixed.  I would recommend his services....GG

I drove my 2013 BMW X5 from Portland to Palm Desert for Spring Break hoping my worn brake pads might last through the trip.  Alas, when the warning lights went to permanent mode, I figured I probably shouldn't chance it.

So, like many a lazy owner from out of town, I took it into the nearest dealership, BMW of Palm Springs.  Very nice people.  And custom-made lattes at your fingertips as you bask in their multi-million dollar overhead paradise. The diagnostic fee was $169, which they credit to your service work.  2.5 hours of waiting on my precious vacation time and finally the guy comes back and tells me I need brake pads AND rotors... front and back. Total estimate:  $2,300.  Ouch.

At first I was so pissed and wanting to leave I said just go ahead and do it.  But as I steamed in the faux-leather chairs watching the Golf Channel, I googled what one should pay typically for such a service.  I knew $2,300 was way too high.

Then I found Scott at Escher Autohaus in Indio.  Google reviews were solid, Yelp's too (other than a few typical grousers).  Told him over the phone my situation and within five minutes, he checked parts pricing and called me back.  He quoted me something a hair over $1,600.  Ok, now that sounds more reasonable.

Next morning, I drive out there.  Not gonna lie: the place looks like something you might find in the middle of nowhere as you're driving down the Baja peninsula.  And nothing but Bimmers (in various states of disrepair) in the lot.  The place is old school, and I mean that in the best possible way.  Scott ambled out from the garage to greet me.  Wearing a plain t-shirt with the little BMW M series emblem.  Superficial, I know, but he looked the part.  Legit.  A real car guy.  I asked him how long he'd been working on BMW's, and he told me about 30 years.  Just a guy who loves the German engineering.

His son came out to introduce himself as he tidied up the shop.  Very friendly.  Love the father-son team.  A friendly cat jumped up on my lap while I waited for my ride to the golf course.  I felt like I was in good hands here.

As I walked up to the 18th green at a nearby golf course, I got the call from Scott.  Car is ready to go.  ON TIME AND UNDER BUDGET.  Best words in the English language.

Picked up the car, settled up... brakes working well.  Feeling safe again.  And feeling good that there are honest mechanics and businessmen who take pride in their work.  If you like expensive lattes and getting your added kissed by 'nice' people who want to fleece you from your hard-earned money, by all means find your local BMW dealer and enjoy.

Otherwise, if you find yourself near Indio and you need good work done on your Beemer at a fair price, call Scott at Escher.

Scott Escher is a BMW expert!  I've trusted Scott to do my work for a few years now.  He has never disappointed me or my BMW X5 4.8is.  I would highly recommend Scott to any BMW owner.  This is not a traditional repair facility.  Scott is an exceptional person and provides exceptional repair/service.  I trust him implicitly.

Can you be a BMW addict?  My first experience lining up my emblem was on the Willow Springs track in Rosamond, CA.  Ruined forever. Laguna Seca, OMG. These cars are amazing. Scott understands the thrill of a four-wheeled control slide through a corner. I drop off the car, relay my plans, i.e Vegas trip..., he makes sure I'm not stranded on a back road.  I notice every sound and change in my cars. He knows what I want and keeps them running like new, which keeps me happy. Now my kids are taking their cars here too.

Scott is the BIGEST jerk, prick that I have ever had interaction with.  He thinks he knows everything and actually I had to put him in his place.  He shouldn't even be able to deal with the public.
