A longtime Waltham auto repair shop specializing in Mercedes-Benz and BMW service, sales, and restoration is preparing for a major move.
European Auto Solutions is trading its longtime home at 1486 Main Street in Waltham for a newly renovated, 30,000-square-foot facility at 280 Worcester Road (Route 9 East) in Framingham. Owner Ed Owen confirmed that the Waltham shop will close on November 30, 2026, ahead of the new location’s planned December 16 opening. The Framingham facility will also be home to an exciting new partnership with collector car club Archive Boston.
The shop got its start on Moody Street in Waltham in July 2006, when Owen teamed up with Scott Penney Jr. and Tim Allen to turn their shared passion for German-engineered automobiles into a business. Recognizing a need for an independent repair facility that could deliver high-quality service at competitive prices, they set out to fill that gap in the Boston market. The business relocated to its current Main Street address in 2011 and has since serviced, repaired, and restored thousands of Mercedes-Benz and BMW vehicles throughout Greater Boston and beyond.
Now celebrating 20 years in business, European Auto Solutions is bringing its expertise to a new home while broadening its offerings beyond traditional automotive services. Through its partnership with Archive Boston, which describes itself as a ‘country club for the collector class,’ the new facility will offer collector car storage alongside Archive Boston’s event space and private luxury social club, creating a one-of-a-kind destination for automotive enthusiasts to gather.
“At the newly renovated 30k sq. ft. complex, our business will continue our tradition of excellence in sales, service, and restoration of BMWs and Mercedes-Benz,” said Owen in a statement. “In addition, we will be partnering with Archive Boston to offer collector car storage, event space, and a social club. Basically a ‘Country Club’ where cars are our golf!”
With its larger footprint and new partnership, European Auto Solutions is gearing up for an exciting next chapter in Framingham. For updates on the move and the new location, follow the business on Facebook and Instagram.
