Our Training

The technology in cars is changing as quickly as the technology of cell phones and computers. That is why we specialize in just a few car lines, and we spend thousands of dollars each year to make sure that our technicians know how to repair them correctly. We are one of only two shops in Maine to belong to BIMRS, a non-profit association of Independent BMW (and MINI) Service shops, which is dedicated to education and training.

Our technicians attend Mercedes training by LMV, which is an international information system for vehicles manufactured by Mercedes Benz. Additionally, we have regular training from various vendors such as the WorldPac Training Institute on Audi, VW and Porsche.
