I have a 2013 BMW X5 35i and when I need routine maintenance (oil changes, alignments, etc.) Braxton Automotive on Howell Mill is my only choice for service.

I’ve been using Braxton for service on our BMWs for 7 years and have always been pleased. Most recently a four wheel brake job on our 428i was done as specified on time and reasonably priced. Their staff are always a pleasure to work with.

EDIT (MAY 2025): I am still servicing my VW at Braxton on Howell Mill, and I still highly recommend them! They are pleasant, offer great service, explain everything really well, and don’t push sales on you but rather give you their honest “you need to take care of this really soon” or just “keep on eye on this”…
