Ron Inchausti always had entrepreneurial ideas since childhood, but lacked goal setting to implement these ideas. He started his automotive career like most, working for someone else. He never considered, or saw the need, to start his own company. This young, eager mechanic had a special passion fueled by providing quality service with a thoughtful approach to the customers' needs.

Coast Motor Werk is the best in the business. Spent a long time looking for someone who actually knows how to repair my 2002 BMW 325xi, and wasted a lot of money going to people who made my issues worse. These guys really know what they are doing and send my car home, humming like a dream, every time. Ron is the best!

Ron and his team have been nothing but amazing for the few years I've been bringing my '07 wagon to his shop. Just crossed the 200k mark with flying colors. His honest opinion of part maintenance/urgency and quality of work speaks for itself, and he has helped through a triage-situation in order to keep the car running at top-notch specs. One of the best I've ever worked with.

Went in to get my battery programmed for my mini cooper, and found out my footwell module was out. Instead of telling me and fixing it to charge me themselves, they were kind enough to tell me that mini cooper had it under extended warranty so they would fix it for free if I went there. They could have easily fixed it there and charged me, but they sent me so I could get it done for free and I absolutely appreciate that. Will go to them in the future!

Took BMW to Valvoline to get oil replaced and car was leaking afterwards. After two visits and still leaking, I took my car to CMW in Huntington Beach. Later that morning I was told "just as I expected, the oil pan was damage/cracked and needed replaced". Estimated cost $1400. I asked for oil pan so I can take to Valvoline for cost of damage. After repairs, I was looking at pan and no visible damage could be seen.
The owner could not find damage either. Why the replacement? At this point I was not happy. Car continued to leak and had to take back to CMW twice before they changed oil. The wrong oil was put into car which caused the issue. A pan should not be replaced with no visible damage. During the three visits CMW said the alternator needed replaced. Took it to dealer, since the thermostat went out during these repairs, and they disagreed. Alternator is fine. Stay away from CMW Huntington Beach. I have zero confidence in them! They called me after an angry message just to say they made all the right choices. Of course they did. -

George and the whole shop were a friendly group of people. I brought my e36 in for a new alternator and they had it fixed in no time. Also they threw in a free full-point inspection that led them to finding that my wheel bearing was in bad shape causing my car to vibrate, which I thought was an alignment issue. I took the car into the dealership a month prior to get Check Engine Light situated and the dealership didn't tell me about my wheel bearing in the full-point inspection that I paid for. George explained the severity of the situation and he had me back on the road the next day.
Now the car is running smoother than ever and is far more enjoyable without the vibrations. Thanks George I will be coming back in the future because Coast Motor Werk is less expensive than the dealer and more thorough in its work.

Ron and the crew over there are on the level. They are extremely knowledgeable and have a deep pool of experience; including many former BMW factory mechanics who were looking for a shop where they could actually practice their craft and not be relegated to fluid and filter change monkeys (guys that enjoy the challenge of wrenching great motoring machines.) The prices are most always better than the dealership and you'll receive a far more personable touch from guys that care about your car.
That said, lets also be real here, If you drive a BMW and have to ask, "How much?".you probably should be driving something else that comes from Japan. Quality and pride of ownership isn't free. These guys will make it as manageable as possible when it comes to the bill, however, you must understand that they must pay to keep the "talent" in the garage.
The garage is always full, especially on Fridays, but I believe that is more a positive reflection on their dedication to their business and expertise. Not a good feeling to roll up to a shop that has their mechanics just standing around. right? -A customer for Life. BMW (E60) 550i

I have been taking my BMW to Coast Motor Werk for the past 4 years. Ron and his crew have not only done a fantastic job taking care of my car, but have also been incredibly professional and courteous. I will never let any one else work on my vehicle. They are a class act and I highly recommend them.

I am very pleased by the service and quality of work that I continue to receive from CMW. Ron and his staff are excellent and I highly recommend this company! I've been taking my BMWs here for over 6 years and every time they do a fantastic job, charge me a very reasonable rate, always stick to their estimate and never try to sell me on services or parts I did not want or need.

Have been taking my 09 M3 to Ron since the warranty has run out for routine services and have been very happy. He is genuinely interested in doing the right thing for the customer (unlike the dealerships I have seen in the area which are primarily interested only in up-selling). He is very knowledgeable about BMWs, much more so than many dealership service advisors.
I have also had CMW do some minor body work and mechanical repair to the undercarriage of my car after hitting some freeway debris. Ron was professional and coordinated the bumper refinishing with Quality Craft flawlessly. Very happy with his work and recommend him unconditionally.

I really hated going to my BMW dealer to get my mini serviced. They always made the whole process so mysterious. I always felt in the dark about what was going on w/ my car. That is the reason I really am happy I found CMW. They actually explain to you what's wrong with your car. They don't seem to mind the many questions I ask them. The work's always been done the same day.
They are always friendly and their shop is clean and inviting. They know what they are doing and I feel confident that they know how to treat my mini right. I feel that I am getting a better deal for my money than I would at the dealer.
