Just took my 2020 M340i here for an oil change. Took less than an hour and I was in and out. Way better than waiting a whole day or two for a dealership to do it. Answered all my questions and were friendly. Will def be coming back! read more

Mr. Luis, Danny and staff are awesome!!!! I have been having my 1991 325i BMW serviced there for years. Each time I have to take my car in for repair, the quality of service has ALWAYS been provided. This is a place where you go to have your car done right. You won't have to continue to take it back for the work not been done correctly. GOD has blessed me to have a wonderful mechanic...that's priceless! Amephea read more

I arrived at the shop thinking that my car was ready because I needed to replace the alternator and take it to the place where they could rebuild it. Fortunately, it's already done. The mechanic was on his phone, waiting for the part, and I couldn't believe how quickly they worked. I am about to take this alternator back to the rebuild shop, and I hope you all recognize the effort these guys put in. The mechanics here are always amazing, especially this one who is patiently waiting for me now. Wow! read more

Let me save you some reading time. Don't come to this scam shop!!! I got a pre purchase inspection on my BMW performed by Edwin at this shop after he was recommended to me. I was told that it looked to be in fairly good condition and he gave me the OK after he looked at it on the lift. He said it just needed a new valve cover gasket and that he had one and could have it ready tomorrow and he would test drive it. I then purchased the car from the previous owner and paid $60 for the inspection and drove home. I returned the next day and paid $120 for the valve cover gasket replacement and drove home. On the way home my car began overheating and I pulled over and let it cool off. Then babied the car the remaining few blocks to my garage. When I went to drain the oil I found that there was only a cup or two remaining!! It was extremely dirty black oil! I took off the valve cover to find that it has not been replaced but just covered sloppily in RTV. This was a complete scam. I talked with him on the phone and he won't admit he had any fault! I don't see how any mechanic would fail to check the oil before taking my money and sending me on my way! Maybe it's because I'm only 20. At least he said I could come get my money back so I guess thats something read more

Took my X5 for service and they were to fix the issues that needed to be fix and also did an inspection of anything else that might have needed work read more

Hey guys this is Danny Morales from CNL international and I just wanted to thank everyone that has written good reviews, unfortunately we're about to receive a negative review from a customer who is trying to make us look bad. He was told that his driver side window was not going up because he needed to buy the window motor. So he worked something out with my dad, while we put the door back, he was telling us that there were items missing in his car. A cell phone holder and he took it further by saying gym clothes that were in his glove compartment. Hopefully this helps to show a second side to the story here and to express that this particular customer did not agree with his diagnosis. read more

I've brought my 2000 BMW 528i twice a few years ago. They offered a good price to replace 2 coolant hoses under the intake manifold the first time. The second time they diagnosed my car free of charge and said it was an easy fix and that I could probably do it myself if I was a DIY'er and I did. They saved me at least $200 right there. Very trustworthy and friendly. read more

5 STARS and I will continue to go back to them seriously. The owner Luis truly cares about you and your car. Mind you I cried the entire time I was there and he personally consoled me. When I took my car in he told me he could work on it but my car has a bunch a recalls and to take it to BMW first. He seriously could of just took my money and he didn't. Like wow how honest can you get. Finally returned back to CNL from BMW Beverly Hills and he gave me a great price. I truly appreciated how fast they worked with me. They were even willing to open on Saturday to work on my car. Thank you soo much hopefully I am not back too soon. read more

I went to these guys after having an electrical issue in my 2000 528i. These guys were so welcoming. I felt like I arrived at a friends house. The son I forgot his name, helped me and explained things so well. They didn't try scamming me. The checked what they could do and found they were not able and recommend me some one that could. read more

Took the Beamer in for an oil change and power steering fluid top off. Was delighted at the quick and thorough job done. A lot more transparent than other indi shops, and they even threw in a free tail light bulb. Not the most convenient location (weird intersection), but off a major street. Would def rec for quick fixes! read more

Great place family owned dad does pricing son works on cars together as a team they trouble shoot together. With in minutes i was out of the shop and car completely repaired. i cant say i would of got that type of service from bmw themselves the cost was very reasonable and these guys also told me what to expect in future work they were very honest about what needs to be done. Im very happy i stopped by today. Go to these guys youll love the service. read more

Great service. The technicians and the owner is honest, informidable and very experienced. To all BMW owners, I would recommend this place. Price is very reasonable. read more

I took my car here recently for an alternator for my 2007 BMW 328i. CNL is awesome and installed the alternator the same day. Hi highly recommend CNL!! read more

The absolute BEST place to go for BMW repairs. I have been a customer for close to 20 years. C & L is the only mechanic that I allow to work on my BMW. I lived in Fontana (65 miles away) for several years and would have my car towed to Los Angeles to have it repaired when needed. I currently own a 1998 528i with over 365,000 miles on it. I believe it has lasted this long because C & L has taken good care of it. Luis, the owner, is honest, fair and reasonable. If you want to save a lot of time and money, take your BMW to C & L International. It will be in good hands. read more

For the past four years I have going to C and L International to have my 330i BMW repaired. When I bring my car in for repair, Luis the owner of C and L has always gives me accurate diagnosis and an estimate of the repair cost. If I bring my car in the morning, it is usually repaired by the afternoon. In the competitive market of auto repair, Luis provides the best customer service and just as importantly his prices are fair. I've never felt over charged or have repairs done for things I don't need. I highly recommend C and L for serving your BMW. Thank you Luis and crew. read more

Luis, Danny and Carmen - great auto and customer service. Fyi: I was referred by a co- worker who highly recommended their auto shop. My go to shop from this point on. read more

I really like this place. Yes, going to the BMW dealer is always first choice. However, I don't mind making an exception to the rule if I can get great service and save a few bucks. This place will slice the cost by at least 40-50% of what the dealership charges for their services. Plus they do just as good of a job. Well, I don't wanna say on all things because I have only had a few repairs done here. But they are definitely worth giving a try. You may stumble upon a great new repair shop for your BMW :) read more

Cnl International - :) - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My initial impression here was very good. I had been reluctant to buy a BMW because I've heard so many horror stories about repair costs. But after a test-drove my 528i, I fell in love with her... I don't care what anyone says abiut BMWs... And like any relationship, I knew it may hurt someday, but in the moment, I didn't care. We got in our first arguement last night... I was going about 40, and she decides to go into first gear for no reason... Started saying something about how she wanted to go to the nearest dealership... I parked and walked around for awhile to blow off some steam. I came back about 20 minutes later, and she says everything is fine, She goes through the gears, but her check engine light is still on... But she won't tell me whats wrong. So in the morning, I drove to a Mechanic my friend told.me about, They said come back Tuesday, so naturally, I went to Taco Bell. As I left Taco Bell, I noticed the Sign... "BMW Specialists" And I thought to myself... "This must be a sign..." AND IT WAS! So I go in clinching my wallet tightly, and I'm greeted with friendly real people who seem to enjoy troublshooting, and shoot for acuracy. They didn't jump to conclusions, they read the error codes, They were showing nothing major. They encouraged me and said I may not be as bad I think... Sometimes they just do this sort of thing.. It could be a voltage spike, which causes a sensor to reset, or a simple battery issue. But just wait it out and see what happens... Measure twice, cut once... So I'm impressed.... A lot of shops will convince you you need to buy something NOW!. I did not meet any sales people here... Which I like a lot. I know that someday I'll have a real issue, and when I do, I'm going back to C&L. They were real and they were honest--My favorite kind of people. read more

When the water pump on my BMW 335 ci decided to fail on me, I wanted to take it to a BMW mechanic closer to where I live instead of the one I normally go to near my work. I looked for a BMW mechanic on YELP and came across Cnl International, which is a family owned business that specializes in BMW repairs. I gave them a call and decided to give them a try after speaking to both Luis and Daniel about the problem. (They received many good reviews that made me feel comfortable to actually consider them for fixing my car.) Upon my arrival, I was greeted by Daniel who was very personable and easy-going. I introduced myself, and he and another mechanic began running tests right away to confirm if it was a water pump failure, which it was. I went over the total cost of the water pump replacement, thermostat replacement, and BMW coolant with Luis, and their price was reasonable. I picked up my car the next day, and it was ready at the specified time we had discussed. Luis and Dan really know what they're doing. They've got years of experience in fixing BMWs, and I will definitely bring my car to them in the future. Great job guys! read more

I wish it was possible to give a business Negative star, because this place really deserves it. I called to see if they would be able to help me with a transmission rebuild for my BMW. The gentleman who answered the phone told me that because my trans malfunction light had already come on, I wouldn't be able to repair my Transmission. It's kind of sad that a garage would have anyone not qualified as a BMW mechanic to answer the phone and provide such misinformation.. Be careful about leaving your car here!!!! Bunch of liars work here. read more

Car: 2006 Bmw Z4 3.0si roadster Situation: Massive engine oil leak + massive coolant leak. Can't start car otherwise it will heat up. Luis, the owner, was an incredible help. The total amount for all the services required to get my car running again was $1300. However, since I mentioned that my car had the exact same services rendered a few months ago, it should still be under warranty. Sure enough, it was. He worked with my previous dealer's insurance company to bring down the total to only $340 out of pocket. Luis fixed more issues on my car and charged me less for all of it and fixed it all within 1 full day. For comparison of services/prices: Previous shop fixed water pump & thermostat for $1700. Luis fixed water pump, thermostat, valve gasket, oil filter housing for $1300. Also, he didn't charge me for fixing my right front turn signal light! While waiting to get my papers done, I spoke with another customer who has a '99 BMW and has been going to this very shop for the last 18 years. This is definitely a BMW repair shop gem. It's the only place I'll take my car to in SoCal now. read more

Dropped in for a bulb malfunction, expecting it to need changing. Luis got it looked at straight away (even though they seemed pretty busy) and informed me it was just a loose connection, which they fixed quickly and free of charge! Thanks, guys! read more

I have never written a review before but I wanted to write them so bad !!! these guys are so legit , they know what they are doing especially for bmw. They took care of my M3 so good. I ve gotten ripped lots of time in these kinds of car services in this country since I am a foreigner. Lots of them ve tried to charge me for unnecessary parts but these guys ( C & L international) charged me what the car needed. It would be definitely my first stop if I have a problem again. Thank a lot guys for being honest !!! read more

Cnl International - They are so trustable , I would recommend them to everyone!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is my go-to place to have your BMW repaired. The mechanics are good at what they do and they're honest. The owner is Luis Morales and the manager is his son, Daniel Morales. The prices for certain services are sometimes less than you would expect to pay. Before you go to the dealer to service your BMW, try this place first. read more

Cnl International - Always great service at this place. - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

good price and nice people, but I would go for only small issues. I have 2007 BMW 328. I've been having many issues since my warranty expired. After reading all these positive reviews, I decided to try them. I've used CNL international for more than 5 times and spent well over $2000. That's okay. Spending $2000+ for 7+ years old BMW is somewhat expected. Here are a few problems I found with CNL. 1. I don't know whether I can say it is CNL's problem or not, but I had to go back to the shop again again and again for new issues. What I noticed is that CNL does not check any potential issues that might be related to the problem you have right now. When I took my car to other reputable BMW shop in town, they were surprised that CNL could not see leaks all over the place + other issues I had at that time. 2. They charged me $680 for replacing a fuel pump inside the gas tank. First problem is that it takes 30 minutes to replace it according to other BMW owners and shops. Somehow it took more than a few hours for CNL. The second problem is that..any issues related to the emission (gas tank) is covered under SULEV warranty if you have a qualifying bmw model.. IT IS FREE if you take your car to a BMW dealer shop. Many other shops just tell you to go to a BMW dealer shop. Apparently, CNL does not know anything about it. 3. I was asked to replace the secondary air pump. Again, that is covered under SULEV warranty. It is FREE. 4. The day after I picked up my car after replacing the fuel pump, I noticed that the gas was leaking all over the floor under my car. It was such a dangerous moment. They did a lousy job. 5. When my car had shaking issue without a SES light, they spent all day to diagnose it and told me that I have to replace vanos solenoid. The total estimate was $1600. Guess what? It had nothing to do with vanos solenoid. It was the fuel pump (which they fixed two weeks ago..) and leaks around the engine. read more

Needing some work on my BMW X5 and not wanting to shell out additional hundreds of dollars, I did some research on Yelp and C & L International seemed to be the place to try. Man, I was very pleased I took my X5 to these guys! Very fair on their labor, which saved me $300 from my other mechanic's estimate. Plus, Danny and Luis put some needed oil and coolant into my vehicle at no additional charge. They also pointed out some other problems I was needing to attend to soon, but didn't try to pressure me about having it done then and now. If you drive a Bimmer and want to waste your money on higher parts and labor, then go to a dealership or my former mechanic. If you want to keep your BMW in good condition and save some money -- take your car to C & L International. read more

I first met Luis in the late 1980's. I was told by two other repair shops that my( then 325 e bmw) would cost $200 to fix. Luis told me and fix the problem for $10 dollars. He said it was a small plastic valve that was stripped. I told Luis I was a customer for life as he was very professional and honest. Last week Luis informed me that I needed a repair that would cost between $1000-$1500 for repair my e500 Mercedes. I dropped the car off and two days later Luis told me the car was ready. When I arrived he handed me a bill for $320.00, saying that they after he raised the vechile the problem was much cheaper to repair. Luis and his team at C and L are people of integrity. I have been a customer since 1986 ish and I'm a customer for life. Eric Griffin read more

My mom and I have been coming to this mechanic for years. We definitely are always treated well. Don Luis and his son always take great care of us we, he is our always trustee mechanic that we all need. Keep up the great work! read more

I was visiting Los Angeles from the bay area and a rear strut on my 2003 330i decided to disconnect itself from the rear control arm. Since I have aftermarket struts, I had a new set overnighted, and began to call around to different shops in the area, to see if they could install them. I'm normally a DIY guy, but 350 miles away from home without tools, it wasn't practical to do it myself. I also tend to be nervous with shops because you never know. The first shop I called, basically told me they would prefer not to do it by asking questions and to come back tomorrow when I had some additional parts. I understand their position and that they don't want me coming back or a bad review, but I'm on a tight timeline. I called Cnl around 10:30am, described the problem. They immediately gave me an estimate over the phone and said to come in. I arrived around 11am, they inspected the car and said it'd be ready by 4pm. They called me at 1pm, 3 hours ahead of schedule, to come pick up the car. They even did some additional inspection on the brakes for me, quoted a very reasonable price on that work if I wanted it, and added some extra hardware to prevent the problem from happening again. I kind of wished they'd called me to ask if I wanted additional work done, because I would be glad to give them the business. They were friendly, easy to deal with, under-promised and over-delivered for me. If I lived in this area, I'd trust them with my car again for additional work on my 330i, or my old 318is. read more

These guys are amazing took my e93 m3 to change the coils they got everything ready within a matter 1-2 hrs. The most genuine mechanics in LA read more

I must say, out of all of my years of dealing with repair shops this one is very fair. Moreover, they have good prices and are willing to work with the consumer. Most shops just want money and they understand how hard car repair can be with its untimely nature! I would not go any where else for my auto repairs. read more

Luis and the team here are great! Came here to fix 2001 740i oil leak on valve covers and some other oil seals, and oil change. After, there were still some minor leaking, so they took it back and resolved the issue. The owner is courteous, reasonable and even drop/pickup to my resident a couple miles nearby. Thxs CNL, til next time! read more
