"The words that come to mind are professional, knowledgeable, quality, honesty, integrity, helpful, informative, going the extra mile. I tell others that the care my BMWs get are as if they belonged to their wives, sisters or mothers. They are a big reason why I have three. They do only what is needed, when it is needed, and stand behind their work, without excuses." by Carl Wellenstein in Downey, CA

"I have had several experiences with Coast Motor Werk, and they have all been great. The staff are all very competent and friendly, and I'm always happy with the prices and quality of work (especially compared to the dealer)! I refer all of my friends with BMWs or MINIs to CMW." by Jody Graham in Huntington Beach, CA

"I own a BMW shop and was recently on vacation in California. My check engine light came on and I went to Coast Motor Werk to have it looked at. I didn't mention that I owned a BMW shop. I was very impressed with their knowledge of BMWs, their technicians', and their dealer level equipment. The repairs were done quickly and at a fair price. Ron, the owner, made sure he met us and explained what was wrong with our vehicle. When I got back home I implemented changes based on what I observed at their shop." by Jen Wenzel, October 28th, 2007

"Great alternative to a BMW dealership in California." Tanya, November 09, 2007

"I recently purchased a 2003 745i BMW. It is still under warranty, but it doesn't cover the maintenance. My car was due for a service, and the BMW dealership was way too high. I began to look on the internet for some BMW shops, near my area, and ran across Coast Motor Werk. I called a few places before I called CMW, but when I spoke with Ron he seemed so pleasant, and patient in the questions I asked, so I thought I'd give him a try. To my pleasant surprise, everyone seemed to be very friendly, and made me feel very comfortable, and safe with bringing my car there, especially Ron & Scott. The place was very clean, and I was given a lot of advice and information in regards to my vehicle. The service was quick, and the price was very reasonable. What I liked most of all, was that they didn't try to take advantage of my lack of knowledge. They checked everything out for me, even some things I thought I might need, Ron told me I didn't. It's rare you find a repair shop, that doesn't try to rip you off. I now have found a reliable, trustworthy repair shop the first time around. Thanks Ron for your honesty!" Otis & Tanya

"I own a 1995 M3 that I absolutely cherish. I recently developed an oil leak and got referred over to Coast Motor Werk by a close friend. I'm really picky as to who I trust my Bimmer with. When I talked with Ron on the phone, I was really taken back. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant. When I met him in person, I never felt for a moment that I was being taken for a ride (no pun intended). The shop atmosphere was impressive and the level of service and professionalism was second to none! The repair was done quickly and at a price that I could stomach. One of his technicians, Brandon, was really sharp when it comes to the inner-workings of the BMW's. I have finally found a person to trust with my most prized possession. Kudos to Ron and his technicians at Coast Motor Werk!" Evan, November 10, 2007

"Great shop! Very reasonable and knowledgeable, they did the repairs to my 528i on time and for the amount that was quoted. I have a new shop and I can refer them to my friends and coworkers. Keep up the good work Ron." Jody, November 16, 2007

"I bought my BMW from my older brother who took it for years to a shop in Orange, Coast Motor Werk was much closer to me so I gave Ron a shot. Not only was he professional and a detailed explainer, but the work was done in a timely manner and the costs were less than the other place. Better service, better work and cheaper prices….you can't beat that!!! That was 2 years ago and I've been satisfied every time I've required their services." Danny, November 30, 2007

"I was looking for a shop to do a major project on my 94 840ci. I loved the car, but the performance was not the best. I decided that I wanted to put a 6 speed in the car and change the rear end ratio to make it perform more like an 850 ci with a 6 speed. I searched extensively for a shop capable of fulfilling my dreams for the car and after a lot of research decided on CMW. Ron gave great advice on the project and everything came out beautifully, actually greatly exceeding my expectations. Everything looks factory and I even went further and had a slightly newer engine and steering wheel put in at the same time. The car runs fantastic and it is a completely different car to drive. I am a very picky car nut and ask a lot of questions. Ron took the time to patiently answer my questions and keep me informed every step of the way. The price was reasonable for the work done. I would highly recommend CMW for those who may want special projects done and also for normal maintenance." John, January 29, 2009

"I own 4 BMW coupes including a 1992 850i. The v-12 engine was experiencing problems that neither the BMW dealership or my local mechanic could diagnose. After a considerable amount of wasted time and money, I contacted CMW. CMW was able to diagnose the problem that was unique to my vehicle and subsequently repaired my engine. The car now runs like new. I only regret that I had not wasted so much time and money before contacting CMW. CMW is to be recommended for their knowledge, integrity and cost efficiency. From this point on only CMW will be allowed to put a wrench on the 850." Bruce, January 27, 2009

"I just can't say enough great things about Ron and his crew. Quality, professional service. They explain work to be done and suggest other work that maybe needed. You get to talk to a master tech and not just some service advisor that has no clue how things work. Pricing that will keep you coming back. Their personal approach to customer service is not found elsewhere. They keep the customer informed as needed. They know what they are doing and work on my newest model car not just older ones." Bob, January 07, 2009

"I was told by the BMW dealership that the transmission in my 2004 mini cooper was broken and had to be replaced before 60,000 miles. So I decided to take it to Coast Motor Werk to get a second opinion and to see if there was anything else I can do instead of replacing the transmission. Specialists at Coast Motor Werk discovered the problem with the transmission and provided me with an alternative solution. This actually saved me thousands of dollars because a new transmission was not even necessary!! I am satisfied with the service that I received from CMW. The specialists fixed the problem and now my car is running a lot better." Janet, January 09, 2009

"After countless years of taking our BMWs to the dealer, we bought our friend dinner for recommending Coast Motor Werk! Personal service--they know your BMW's record years on end & make recommendations. The dealership was too much of a headache with the upsells & they have some computer protocol to follow without actually addressing the problem. The owner Ron & his staff at Coast Motor Werk never push you into "doing it all at once" if you don't need it at the moment. Very reassuring & reason to go back. I never had to return to remedy any problem with Coast Motor Werk, whereas we have had to with the "High End Dealerships." Coast Motor Werk is all about BMWs...they are not only a quality Bimmer shop, they are Bimmer enthusiasts. You can tell by the varying BMWs they so tenderly care for!" Didi, November 8th, 2008

"CMW is a fantastic place to take your BMW. Ron & his staff are very meticulous in their work and ensure the job is done. All this is accomplished without being pressured into doing things that are not necessary. Ron will inform you of all the things that were noticed and then tells you what needs to be done and what can be done later on. He is very knowledgeable and always there to answer questions. Even after I left the Orange County area and moved to LA, I still bring my car to Ron and his guys." Vineet, December 14th, 2008
