Owner is a classy guy with a lot of experience under his belt. Fixed my fuel leak like it was nothing

I brought a Saab here and was pleasantly surprised to see some seriously tuned track vehicles on their lifts. As a long time BMW and track car owner, I can't tell you how refreshing it was to "talk shop" with Bob and his team knowing the vehicle was in good hands. They were thorough and even stopped midway to confirm the specific brand of parts and materials I would like to use. Their pricing was beyond fair and I highly recommend them. Thanks again, guys!

Found Bob's shop listed on Bimmershops. Knew the braking system on my '08 550i needed help and gave them a try. So glad I did. Not only did they professionally deal with the primary problem, in the course of checking out the rest of my car, they discovered two other concerns, one of which is near term and REALLY important. Talented folks who really know what they are doing and love what they do. Thanks gang. Two thumbs up.

The work that Volvo Bob did on my car was fantastic, quick, and very reasonably priced. This made the car run like a gem after over two months of trouble with the engine. I would definitely recommend him and his team to any one of my friends!

I have been taking my Volvo 240 to Bob Workman for around eight years now. Bob not only does great work, he is honest and his prices are very reasonable. Plus, Bob is a great guy. I highly recommend him.

The greatest experience Ive had with a mechanic! Bob went above and beyond to make sure my experience at his shop was nothing but excellent! He went out his way to first give my car a jump start when I was stuck in a parking lot near his location and reassured me all the work that was going to be done before starting service. His pricing was more than fair, and his team as well as his wife are very pleasant and nice people. I definitely will be bringing my BMW back for service with Bob. Thank you so much again for your kindness and reliability!

Took my 2004 BMW to Bob's shop in Vista for the first time after a recommendation from Tom at Autotyme Automotive down the street. I thought the brakes needed to be replaced, but Bob told me they were still good. I had him do several other things (spark plugs, fuel filter) and he recommended a couple of other things. His prices were very fair and I am pleased with the service. I will definitely be using him for service needs to my BMW and would recommend his shop.

Bob and his mechanics go above and behind. I had every piece of my suspension replaced with them and have my car there currently getting lights replaced. Bob kept me updated about the issues with my car, got me the best deals, and did everything quick. And when Bob wasn't able to do something, he pointed me in the right direction (he also has a guy Tony that does a lot of tows for him and is a lot better priced than the other tows around). Only shop now that I trust and enjoy taking our cars to.

My 1990 740 Turbo Volvo blew out it's differential as I drove by Bob's garage. I had heard good things, and since the car wasn't going much farther in it's state, I decided to give them a try. I'm very happy that I did. I did not expect to be attended immediately because I showed up without an appointment and no warning, but I was. Bob himself listened as I described the problem, came outside and drove the car around the block.

He then drove it straight into his garage, put it up on the rack, and showed me the differential. He quoted me an insanely fair price, and went to work immediately on the vehicle. I expected him to tell me that they'd be able to get to it sometime this week, but instead he had the whole job done, and even added new shifter bushings and some (much needed) transmission fluid added, in under 2 hours.

His price never deviated and I ended up paying a bit more than requested as a thank you for their prompt and professional service. I will return to this garage. It is family owned and operated and has been open for over 25 years. If you're a local European car owner, new or classic, I highly recommend you give them a call if you're in need of a good mechanic. The definition of the word professional.

Got my BMW taken care off here. Bob works with you to get you the best deal on parts. The team is friendly, open to questions and very knowledgeable. Really appreciated them identifying and showing me what was wrong with my car, very transparent on their part. My car is driving much better, feels 5 years younger. Looking forward to coming here again for my next service.
