"Super great customer service! Very quick to get cars in and out while remaining reliable. Not like other car shops where they try to get you to fix small non urgent issues."

"I have loved my experience with Slimmer’s.

I bought an Audi in November and was anxious about making the switch from my Honda to something a little more refined and Slimmer's was so kind."

"Why I love this place.  Tire blew out on sidewall upon hitting city drainage whatever.  This 2012 Honda Accord is much loved—all four “shoes” were purchased from Slimmers a year ago."

About Us

The Eastside European Team

Specializing in European auto repair with a special emphasis on BMW and Mini, Eastside European also services late model Honda, Subaru, and Toyota vehicles.


Formerly Slimmer’s Automotive, in 2019 Eastside European moved into the old Lawrence Bus Co. bus barn at 901 Delaware St. following a comprehensive renovation to provide Lawrence and the surrounding area with the highest quality local repair available for European and Asian cars. Led by former BMW technician and nationally recognized Mini Master Tech Marcos Markoulatos and Slimmer’s former General Manager Richard Backus, Eastside European has a trained and knowledgeable staff equipped with the necessary tools to keep your car in top condition.

We are a locally owned and operated auto shop with strong ties to the Lawrence community, and we work hard to ensure you get the competent, professional service you need at fair prices.
