Lilly Automotive is a fully registered, licensed, and insured mobile mechanic service that provides custom one-on-one care for you and your vehicle. All work is by appointment custom tailored to fit around your busy schedule. There are a few ways in which the work is accomplished and the options ars explained to the client.

ALL of my work is warrantied 100% no questions. Bori, since I've never worked on your car, I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion.

Jobs are reviewed in a case by case basis and they are various reasons why a job may or may not be accepted. These reasons are fully discussed and explained with the client.

Please see my thread for the work I've done for forums members over the past year.

euroworks never answers their phone......so i guess its ultimate auto in davie.

Daniel lilly tells you he is a custom tailored mechanic and will go to you for the work. Then he says he will take your car home and work on it. Also send you a txt with hand writting quote and then changes the pricing in a quote he sends by email. I called him out on it and he decided he wont work with me. "He explains to the customers why he rejects jobs... NOT. Its cool and i really dont mind it, but dont go around saying you can do jobs when you really cant and they have to be under his conditions. Not cool. A lot of people have had good expiriences am sure.. But not everyone. As it is good to share good expiriences it is also good to tell the bad, then you can make your decision on who to do the job for you. And also do you really think a guy with no shop that takes your car home to work, would hold up any type of warranties... Good luck

Daniel (lilly Automotive) has worked on my car several times and i have never had any issues with him or his work. As a matter of fact he has gone out of his way to help me out before and has warrantied work that did not directly have anything to do with his previous work but he still covered it. No one is perfect and there is always 3 sides to a story. I have faith in him and his work, great guy to deal with.

[Snypa]

I recommend lilly Automotive as well.

Thanks

+1. Eurowerks never answers their phone and I am always very leery of any business that doesn't respond when I am trying to give them my money.

Just had a coil pack replaced today with Eurowerks. Very impressed with their work and customer service. On the way home a couple days ago the check engine light came on and started vibrating. I limped all the way home. Took it to Eurowerks and they diagnosed it as the cylinder 1 coil pack. I told Michael the plugs, coil packs, and injectors were all replaced within the year by the dealer. He told me they were under warranty for two years. I decided to go ahead and replace it as it was not worth the aggravation to take it to the dealer for 60.00. I just relocated to Coral Springs from Miami so my go to shop will be John and Michael at Eurowerks. I am very happy with their work.

You my friend are way off,

Daniel is fantastic! He has worked on my car a few times and he is the best mechanic around. He 100% warranties his work. I have no problem with him working on my 2013 M3. He will only turn down jobs from guys like you. Cheap nobodies who want him install shit for free. Daniel will warranty any of his work he does. You just lost a bad ass mechanic.

I don't know where you are coming up with these absurd conclusions about Lilly Automotive but Daniel is by far the best mechanic and person I have met through this forum by far. He's worked on my car on multiple occasions, from reinstalling a valve cover gasket that I paid a shop 6 months before and started to leak and the shop magically shut down and left! To installing my aftermarket parts and also installing and coding my injectors. I will tell you, he definitely gives you options on how he will do the work and where he will do the work. He works around your schedule and he has a FULL garage and lift at his home where he works out of if he can do the job mobile. He has in the past taken my car home and left me his 335 as a loaner and I can confidently say I trust him 100%. Not only that he even offered to drive up to Kansas City this past month when my radiator started leaking and the dealership up here charged me more than double what he quoted me. By far one of the most honest and trustworthy guys I know. I'm glad he turned your job down, you seem ungrateful and entitled to work for free. Good day.

I guess I am just another one of Daniel's 'lucky" customers. He has worked on my car a few times and will be my first call when something else happens that I cannot, or will not, handle myself. The guy is 100% legit and I trust him without exception. He has done work for me in my shop, and I have let him to take my car to his shop when the job requires specialized equipment that is difficult to haul around. There has never been a surprise with his pricing and he tells you his price up front.

As a former mechanic, I can understand why a mechanic would turn down a job. Like when you open the hood a see a mess of craptacular upgrades and chickenshit duct tape repairs, you can bet that the car is not going to be 100% when you fix whatever you are being paid to fix. Or if there are 5 things wrong, and the customer only wants to fix 2 of them, the car is not going to be right when the mechanic is done. I can also see why he might not want to drive 6 hours to Miami to do a $200 job for someone, it is just not good business for either party.

The only reason I can give you NOT to use Daniel is that the more work he does for you, the longer I have to wait when it is time for him to do some work for me. Yes, selfish, I know.

The dealer will always be overpriced as so the parts. I have done this job several times with no issues. If still interested and have not been able to get the job done, let me know. I only use BMW parts and not aftermarket junk that will not last and take time out of me and the client to fix it again. I'm only available for broward and Miami-dade.

[Gohan335i7]

(MPI) Miami Performance Inc. Great Shop and awesome people who know their stuff. I wouldn't take my Beemer anywhere else and I live up north also.

[Flot]

I also recommend Daniel at Lillyautomotive.

He's a mobile mechanic and he did a day and a half of work on my car in Fort Lauderdale for a fraction of the cost of the dealer. I just stumbled across this thread when I was looking for his name to line up some maintenance work.

He installed my mods, plugs, walnut blasted, and valve cover gasket almost a year ago and have never had an issue since. If I did, it was clear that his top priority would be coming back and making things right.

My dad has been using redline for 15+ years if not longer!

I personally prefer John @ Eurowerks, but to each their own

[GuitarDTO]

Old thread, but just wanted to share. Daniel lilly started out well enough, he reached out to me in PM after seeing a maintenance thread I started, I gave him a list of what the dealer says needs done, he quoted me. I told him I'd like to get something scheduled for my Christmas shutdown, I sent him this on both the Facebook page and through PM here. I have heard nothing since then (That was in November ~10th).

I'm sure he does good work, and others have been satisfied. I'm just sharing the story of non-response to echo Bori's sentiment that it's not always good for everyone. I do not know if he simply wasn't interested in my job or if perhaps he has other items going on that are preventing him from taking new work. I simply don't know.

It's a shame too, because my oil leaks have gotten to a point where I need the work, so I am taking my car to Bavarian Auto instead as I have to get the work done....so he's missing out on quite a bit of potential business that I was willing to give him.
