Words can not describe the level of professionalism from Bryce. I had changed the spark plugs and coil packs on my 2013 BMW M5 F10. After completion of the job, my car's check engine light along with bunch of other warnings came on and the vehicle was not running at all. I contacted the dealership which is close to my house and I advised them of what my problem was. The service advisor stated that I would need reprogramming of the two DME computers. I took the vehicle in and after two days the dealer advised me that the car was reprogrammed. I picked up my car from the dealer and noticed that the turbos on my vehicle were not spooling up at all, no power what's so ever. I took the car back to the dealer and after keeping it for two additional days, the dealer advised that the computers on my vehicle were fried and that I needed two DME computers replacement for total of $6,522.47. I knew that something was wrong, that's when I contacted Bryce at BimmerScan. Bryce investigated and discovered that the DME's were not fried and that the computers by the "Dealer" were only programmed partially (40%). Due to old and new software conflict the turbo boost did not work. My car was fixed within few hours of programming the entire computer "properly" by BimmerScan and it is running beautifully. I want to thank Bryce for his professionalism and knowledge of BMW cars. I would never take it to the dealer again for anything. BimmerScan is 70 plus miles away from me but it is worth every minute of it when it comes to computer repairs on BMW.

Bryce was one the most honest and knowledgeable auto repair expert I have ever encountered. He is trustworthy and knows what he is taking about. I took my BMW 528 i to another mechanic and they wanted to charge more than $4000 for an electrical issue. Bryce ended fixing the electrical issue for under $200. He has high tech equipments and he really just wants to fix up the car. It is his hobby so he lives trouble shooting and telling you every step of the way. He is very responsive and super nice. He even gave me a follow up call to make sure my cars is okay and made sure I took it back for a follow up. I would highly recommend Bimmerscan for any BMW electrical issues. Thank you Bryce!

I have been having intermittent no start condition since acquiring the car two years ago. It is a 96 BMW 318ti with a S52 (M3) motor. The swap was done by the previous owner in Virginia and I bought it for my occasional use as a track car. I had been unable to diagnose the problem and was talking to Bryce at BimmerScan about it. He took the time to scan the electrical system and determined that the ground strap was bad. We replaced the cable and re-tested and found that was the appropriate fix. I was going to swap the battery to see if that was the problem, then wonder if the alternator was bad and then,... BimmerScan solved the problem without my throwing money and parts at it hoping to find a fix. Gas mileage has improved, performance is much better and it Starts every time now. Thanks Bryce @BimmerScan.

Bryce knows his stuff. He is extremely knowledgeable. He diagnosed my warning lights promptly and efficiently. I highly recommend him, especially if you need higher end diagnostic and ECU work done.

Go to Bryce for all your BMW diagnostic needs! My 2011 128i had some electrical issues, causing the radio not to work and the speedometer, RPM, and gas gauge to suddenly drop and rise while driving. After a quick diagnostic test, he determined I needed a new battery and my entertainment computer system had to be recoded. Within a day, all my electrical problems were fixed at a very reasonable price!

Dear god! Bimmerscan did the impossible with my car. Just when I had given up hope and tried countless resources they came through! Clearly on another level of diagnostics and programming! If you've got an impossible issue I recommend Bimmerscan! They just made a lifetime customer and friend! Highly recommend! Especially for the enthusiast that is picky about stuff!

Couldn't be happier after my visit to Bimmerscan - Bryce is very friendly and helpful. He won't try to upsell you - he just wants to get your car back on the road just as bad as you do.

I cant say enough about bryce/bimmerscan. this guy is THE MAN! i first went to him with my e38. This car was bought new in 2001 and i only have 65k miles on it but the dash was always lit up like a Christmas tree! since day one this car had electrical issues and every time the dealership said they fixed it, the same issue would pop up... in one hour bryce diagnosed the problem and fixed it!! not one issue since! THEN, i took my 2014 (f31) 328ix sport wagon, now this was the cool stuff... he had all these special codes to do some really trick stuff to the electronics like using the key fob to close my rear hatch, roll up my windows and sunroof, as well as fold my mirrors when i lock the car. all my phone contacts in my heads up display ... i mean he had like 10 pages of stuff he could do but i just didn't have the time that day, but i will be going back for sure! needless to say i would absolutely recommend him to anyone.... cool guy, very laid back and not pretentious whatsoever.

I called afterhours and he picked up right away. He knew exactly what I was talking about. He asked me to send him the last 7 digits of my VIN and then we were off to the races. No nonsense. My favorite kind of service.

I drive a 2009 135i. I began having some weird electrical problems with the radio. Having heard of Bimmerscan before, I already knew that I was going to take it there. I had heard nothing but great things about Bryce. Bryce did a quick diagnostics test, and within minutes had an answer for me. It was a simple fix and Bryce charged me an extremely reasonable price. I will recommend him to ANY BMW owner who is having any electrical issues on their car. Bryce truly takes care of his customers. I am very thankful to have a person like him in our local community.
