Bavaria Auto Center was founded by Rodolfo “Rudy” Fonseca, a race car enthusiast, top-notch import mechanic, and all around family man. Rudy was born in Lima, Peru where he received his education in automotive mechanics.
He started his career as a mechanic at Volvo of Peru and was promoted to foreman quickly. Four years later he joined a BMW dealership in Lima, where he discovered a passion for race car driving.
Rudy’s determination moved him to Los Angeles to seek a better opportunity for his family. He quickly found employment as a top BMW mechanic and was in high demand at several BMW dealers.
As he continued his career as a mechanic and foreman, Rudy would see the need for BMW & Mercedes Benz authorized service centers. He would capitalize on this opportunity by opening his own shop in the city of Alhambra.
