The dealerships celebrate two years of growth, premium service, innovation, and customer-first focus
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Car Pros Automotive Group marked the two-year anniversary of its BMW and MINI of Downtown Los Angeles dealerships this month, highlighting two years of growth and community impact since acquiring the stores from Nick Alexander Imports in September 2023. The anniversary also recognizes the dealerships' more than 40 years of service to the Los Angeles community, along with Car Pros' deep commitment to customer service, and continued investment in its employees.
"BMW and MINI of Downtown Los Angeles reflect the values-led growth we aim for across Car Pros," said Matthew Phillips, CEO of Car Pros Automotive Group. "In just two years, we have strengthened these dealerships with pioneering collision repair capabilities, top national MINI rankings, and premium customer experiences – all made possible by the dedication of our staff and our deep commitment to the community."
MINI of Downtown Los Angeles, the #1 MINI dealer in Southern California and a Top 10 MINI dealer nationally, completed a $1 million renovation earlier this year, featuring EV fast charging capability, a café-style showroom with a gourmet coffee bar, expanded lounge space, modern digital sales stations, and upgraded service facilities designed for both electrified and high-performance MINI models.
BMW and MINI of Downtown Los Angeles, as well as the collision center combined occupy 145,191 square feet across 10.85 acres in Downtown Los Angeles. Launched in 2013, the BMW | MINI of Downtown LA Certified Collision Center is Los Angeles' first BMW-certified repair facility and remains the only body shop in the DTLA area certified to repair BMW's innovative "iBrand," and offers free flatbed pickup and delivery with a loaner vehicle for all scheduled BMW maintenance in Los Angeles.
To recognize the anniversary, Car Pros hosted a luncheon for dealership employees on August 21, 2025, celebrating the dedication and contributions of the BMW and MINI of Downtown LA teams.
