From a Mobile Service Van to a Family Shop

John Anderson started the business in May 2006 as Bavarian Mobile Works, a mobile service operation. He drove to his customers and handled every job himself. Before that, John spent years working in franchised dealerships. He went independent to test what he had learned there about what customers actually want and appreciate.


His goals were simple. He wanted to deliver a higher level of service, earn trust, and build long-term relationships with the people he served. The work soon outgrew a one-person operation. John leased a shop space and brought his wife, Michelle, and his son, Josh, into the business.


A later move gave the family its own property on a major state highway. In early 2025, the shop relocated to its current home on Gateway Drive in Alpharetta, a property John purchased in 2019. In May 2026, Bavarian Motor Cars marked 20 years of serving North Georgia drivers.

Meet the Anderson Family

John Anderson, President and CEO

John Anderson founded Bavarian Motor Cars and leads the business as President and CEO. He is a U.S. veteran who spent years in franchised European dealerships before going independent. That dealership background shapes how he approaches BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and MINI service. These vehicles need factory tools, an accurate diagnosis, and a clear conversation with the owner.



John built the shop around that standard. We diagnose first, explain what we find, and let you decide what to repair and when. He also wanted the business to give back to the automotive industry. That goal has stayed with the shop since its mobile service days.

Michelle Anderson, VP of Customer Experience

Michelle Anderson is John's wife and business partner. She joined Bavarian Motor Cars when the business moved from mobile service to its first shop.



As VP of Customer Experience, Michelle helps shape how we treat every customer. She has been part of the shop's growth through every move and milestone since.

Josh Anderson, VP of Customer Care

Josh Anderson is John's son and runs the shop's day-to-day operations. He joined the family business when it moved into a fixed location.



Josh supports both sides of the shop. He gives technical support to the front office and to the technicians in the back shop..

The Factory Tools Our Team Uses

BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and MINI vehicles run on networks of electronic control modules. Our team uses factory and professional diagnostic systems to read each one accurately.

  • BMW ISTA+ with ICOM Next for current BMW and MINI diagnostics
  • BMW SSS, GT-One, and DIS for programming and diagnosing older BMW E-series vehicles
  • Mercedes-Benz XENTRY/DAS for Mercedes-Benz diagnostics
  • Autel MaxiSYS Ultra and iScan III for advanced scan work across platforms
  • Hunter equipment for tire replacement, Road Force balancing, and wheel alignment

With these systems, our technicians see exactly what each module reports. Every repair recommendation we make starts with that data.

“I needed significant work done on my 2009 BMW 335i xdrive in order to return it to its former glory. The service and care I received from AJ..... It is refreshing, and very unusual, to have a team of folks love my car as much as I do and treat it accordingly. I will be going back for all future services needed for this vehicle as well as my 2019 X3. I highly recommend the team at Bavarian Motor Cars Repair”
