About Us

Joe Brogno began his apprenticeship and career on BMWs at 16, working at a local BMW dealership. After many years of service with that company, Joe achieved the status of Senior Registered Technician. Being in that position for two years, Joe dealt with many customers in the service reception area. He discovered many flaws in the company’s service and customer care attitude. Frustrated with the dealership’s lack of customer service and quality, Joe left the company with the idea of starting his own business to prove that offering quality service and workmanship at a fair price is all that people want.

BM Tech began working on BMWs in 1987 from his father’s backyard garage. Two years later, the business was becoming a little too busy, so on the 27th of November 1989, he took the step to rent a workshop in the Melbourne suburb of Box Hill. Being in Box Hill for fourteen years, the business grew very large and, by that stage, employed around twelve people.

In 2003, BM Tech moved to its current location on Canterbury Road, Canterbury. This bold move was necessary to cater for the large number of customers. The Canterbury Branch was designed to mimic a modern dealership. It was state-of-the-art and designed for efficiency. The large workshop was a good size to accommodate future growth. Today, BM Tech Canterbury employs 20 people and has over 5000 regular customers.

In August 2004, BM Tech began working on the new Mini Cooper brand from BMW. The new business name for this part of the business was Mintech. This was a huge leap for the company because it was a departure from working solely on one vehicle, however because Mini was owned by BMW, we felt it was only natural to expand to the new marque.

In 2009, BM Tech and Mintech expanded the business and opened another branch in the North-Western suburbs of Melbourne. BM Tech Essendon and Mintech Essendon began trading on 13th October 2009. Surprisingly, this region of Melbourne lacked BMW and Mini-only specialists to service the vast number of these brands in the area. The Essendon Branch was a real hit with the locals and continues growing rapidly.

We are located in Melbourne’s suburbs; the Canterbury Branch is located 100m from Canterbury Railway Station and the famous Maling Road shops.
