The Heynneman European Family
Paul Heynneman
In 1979, Paul Heynneman, an alumni of Bay Area service shops Sonnen BMW and BMW AutoZentrum, launched Heynneman European with the intention of offering owners of top marque automobiles a level of service and attention to detail that he felt could not be obtained at the large factory shops.
Paul Heynneman fills many roles at Heynneman European; he is founder and owner, service writer and diagnostician. He is dedicated to installing only top quality parts which are carefully selected to meet or exceed the original equipment on your car. Additionally he is committed to performing 100% best practice service procedures on all vehicles. These are but 2 of the ingredients which have led to the enviable Heynneman European reputation as the premier service facility in the North Bay.
Paul also co-founded a nonprofit charity with his wife to provide support and aid to children in Africa, with a current focus on building a vocational school in Northern Ghana. In his free time, he enjoys spending time in his garden and walking the beautiful hills of Marin and Northern California, and restoring cars.

Excellent service as always. Gary took care of the regular maintenance and trouble shot a pesky steering issue. All of the past maintenance performed on the vehicle is in the computer, and the future maintenance needs have been addressed. My seven series 740il is driving nice and smooth after this service, which has been my experience with Heynneman thus far.
