I left my vintage 3.0CS in Olin’s care years back for some basic work before I was to start a full restoration project. After not hearing from him for a month, I rode by to see that the trunk was left open. After I pulled up, I noticed something was very wrong with the car. He admitted to leaving the car unlocked and a homeless person had actually moved into and was living in my car! Upon confronting the owner, his reply was “I told him that he couldn’t stay there”The excellent condition interior was totally ruined, as you could imagine and I was floored by his response. Restored, these cars are bringing $150,000 nowadays !Thanks Olin, you have won the award for being the single least responsible mechanic that I have ever known or heard of and I have told this story many times to many car enthusiasts. Nobody has topped it to this day !

Olin is a great guy that treats his customers and their cars well. I wouldn’t take my BMW anywhere else in the Midlands.

This place is great! Olin, the owner is an expert BMW mechanic. His experience and knowledge was both apparent and impressive. He quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue with my car. His prices were fair. This is the only place in Columbia I’d take my BMW. Highly recommend!

The absolute best at what they do. Masters of their craft. Wizards. They will work with you to fix what needs to be fixed and be completely up front with you about what can wait. Olin and Jay have been helping me keep BMWs older than I am on the road for the last 10 years. They are very patient with my attempts to diagnose and fix the cars on my own and have not fussed at me for constantly getting it wrong. I would probably have to drive a two year old Corolla if it weren't for their help. 5/5.

Olin helped my son's old BMW with a vibration and we will see him for future work. Professional and courteous.

Having a 2004 E83 X3, I have a lot of parts that are at the end of their life and need to be replaced. Luckily, this shop is run by a couple of BMW enthusiasts that know what they are doing and love doing it (one has a E30 for his daily driver & the other races an E30 on the weekend. I trust whatever Olin tells me he thinks is wrong with my car and consider what he says is both accurate and fair. Prices for parts are similar to what I see on Internet if I were to purchase myself. Labor cost is reasonable, and so much lower than dealer, that sometimes wonder if Olin is just doing the work as a hobby. Olin is always willing to answer my questions, no matter how random they may seem, which is refreshing. As a bonus...if Olin and Jay are both in the garage and not immediately available to help you, they have a cat that is usually sleeping in one of the chairs out front that you can hang out with while you wait.

Olin is the BEST in the business!!! I come to him for all my needs. He has the best knowledge about BMWs and cars in general. He is kind, informative and always gets the job done in a timely manner. As long as I am in Columbia, Olin and Imports Only will have my business. He is truly the best!

Olin and Jay are the most professional, honest, and friendly people I know. I have a 2005 BMW X3 and could never be any happier with the quality of service and maintenance they provide for my car. They always give you the most fair deal with the repairs and do a perfect job to make sure you car keeps running smoothly. I always enjoy chatting with them about different car issues and they are very patient to explain all the details and provide great solutions for fixing them. There are also a couple of lovely and friendly cats in the shop that you will enjoy saying hi to (especially the one called the Queen!). :-) ;-)

Wow!! I drive a BMW and they did an amazing job and was very reasonably priced. I called the morning of and they were able to get my car back to me that day. They throughly looked at my car and got everything figured out with it. GREAT guys, will definitely be going back.
