About Us

Owner & Master Technician

Aaron Brand

My name is Aaron Brand, and I’m the owner and operator of KB Motor Works LLC, an independent BMW specialty shop located in Hartselle, Alabama.

I’ve been professionally repairing BMWs since 2012 and am a graduate of the NASCAR Technical Institute, where I also had the opportunity to build high-performance marine engines for Ilmor Marine. That experience, combined with over a decade of hands-on BMW training, shaped the foundation of my approach today—precise, honest, and always evolving.

I hold multiple industry certifications, including:

In 2023 and 2024, I was proud to place among the Top 96 BMW diagnostic technicians in the United States, and one of only 24 in the Southern Region, as part of BMW’s national Diagnostic Technician of the Year competition.

Behind the Tools

I’m also a husband and a father to three amazing boys—Maverick (3), Macklin (1), and Pierce, who we welcomed in June 2025. I’ve been married to my wife Kayla for eight years, and starting this business was about more than cars—it was about building a career close to home, where I could be present for my family and serve my local community.

When I’m not in the shop, I enjoy time with my family and occasionally getting out for a round of golf.

At KB Motor Works, I treat every BMW as if it were my own—no shortcuts, no upsells, and no guessing. Just expert diagnostics, thorough repairs, and total transparency from start to finish.

Great shop. I had a perfect experience. I had a few questions after my service and they respond immediately. I highly recommend KB!

Had a multitude of things worked on for my 2018 Bimmer m240i. He did an awesome job keeping me informed of each setup of the process. You also get an itemized account that shows you exactly what the vehicles issues are and if you want those items fixed. Never a pushy moment.

They did a great job of communicating the problem with my vehicle and fixing it quickly. It was fixed on the first attempt. Very happy. Would definitely recommend!

I have worked with Aaron at KB Motor works on three separate occasions (for work on my 07, 328i) and each time was smooth and easy. He is not only an expert and quick with turn around times, but at a fair price for quality work. Bring your BMWs to this place!!
