Don and his sons provide great service and quality work at a very reasonable cost which is hard to find anywhere. Very convenient location near John Wayne airport in Newport Beach. read more

DDK Motors - Auto Repair Near Me - Newport Beach, California

At the recommendation of a friend, I've been taking my Audis and my Porsche to Don at DDK for the past 5 years. Don & his sons are thorough, honest, and fairly priced. They would never recommend something your car didn't truly need done. I couldn't imagine working with anyone else to keep my cars in tip-top shape! read more

First time servicing my '15 C300 here. Moved from Elite once it was sold. Very happy with service, communication, promptness. I'll be returning. This is my new go-to place for serving my Mercedes. read more

I've known Don for over 10 years and he has a great reputation with me and my friends who take their European cars to him. 2 points I'd like to make. He's a community guy. His customers become his friends. The Local Genius, a man you can tell has had hands on experience, probably from childhood. I know a few people who have taken their business to him for over 25 years so it should be noted that there's many, many people who are happy with him and his work who haven't posted a review. Thank you Don. read more

I know this beautiful family very well and they are the most amazing and honest mechanics on the planet...

I would not consider this shop under any circumstances, after my telephone conversation with the owner, Don. He was so set against my remaining with my vehicle while he determined its problem, even repeating over and over again how trustworthy he was, based upon the 35 years he has been in business. He was offended when I told him I didn't know him, and that trust is "earned" not automatically granted. Every BAD mechanic I've encountered has said the same exact thing about his trustworthiness and, unfortunately, I may have encountered every one of them in my lifetime. I neglected to mention the fact he presumed I had been to all the shops I named in conducting my search for a competent mechanic, and I had to explain the reason none were able to perform the repairs on my car, which he challenged. I hung up on him... read more

Called about getting a fan replaced for my Mercedes. Since my car has a tune and some performance upgrades I wanted to use an upgraded high performance after market fan that has better CFM over the stock part. Unfortunately they don't allow you to bring your own parts in, but I was told they should be able to source the part directly. A day later I called back and they couldn't find a single fan except from the dealer and as a result the quote came back 3 times higher due to the HUGE costs of the sub par dealer parts. So my only option was to pay 3 times more and allow the dealer to make a huge profit selling me a cheap fan or I could find a repair shop that knows and understands performance parts are better than stock in both performance and value. It was a quick and easy decision and I ended up taking my car to shop where I not only paid a 3rd of the price, but I got a much better performance fan at the same time! read more

I love this shop. They are very reputable and well known by many car dealers in the area. I have used them for years for car repair and for diagnostic checks on potential car purchases. They are reasonably priced, super honest about quotes and estimates. So glad to know businesses like this exist. read more

Don has looked after my 2000 Lexus for years and we are so thankful we found this honest man and his staff. Ed and Angela, Laguna Woods, CA read more

I've used DDK for some years. Recently I had an oil leak in 3 year old car we just bought. They checked it out and found that the oil filter that was put in was not high quality and didn't fit correctly. Also the place that put it in didn't replace the O ring. This caused oil leaking over my engine. Don explained to me that they had to clean the engine and replace an oil saturated belt that would become a problem later. That is attention to detail and doing an excellent job. Thank you Don. read more

I am a 100% auto enthusiast, restorer and collector. Have never in all my years found anyone as efficient, honest and thorough. They do all our work on collector cars as well as our other Mercedes. No one is better. Gust N read more

Don the owner is great. Greets you warmly and clearly loves cars. He asked all about the car and then got to work addressing my concerns. He and his staff provide great service and are my car's new best friend! I have an old BMW that I cherish and Don did too. That made a big difference - I wasn't just another number as I was at the dealer. And Don did the work in a timely fashion, kept me informed all along the way, offered options if I didn't want to do all the work at once by prioritizing it and gave some suggestions to maintain the car. He even washed the car before I picked it up! Top notch! read more

DDK is simply the best!!! Totally honest (I completely trust them) and they always take the best care of me. Wish I could give them 6 stars! read more

I highly recommend this shop. I have been going to DDK for over 10 years. I have owned many cars that Don and his sons have serviced, including Audi's, BMW's, and my Porsche. When I am thinking of buying another car I take into account where I am going to service it and it always leads me back to a German European automobile so that Don can service the car. He is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, honest and does a fantastic job! read more

Meets or exceeds dealer knowledge and skill levels. Beats dealer prices by a long shot (no expensive, enormous showoff buildings to pay for at this business). Just replaced BMW 528 air conditioner blower inside the complicated dash for about 2/3 what the dealer might have charged. read more

Found a trusted Auto Repair. My friend referred me to DDK for my cars ' services. Talked to Don, and felt comfortable right away! Great service, fair price, and turnaround on time as promised. I am glad to find this shop. Highly recommended. read more

I've been taking all my cars to Don@DDK for years now and wouldn't trust anybody else. A few years back a co-worker took his BMW for service to DDK and Don informed him the transmission needed replacing. Don was honest and told my coworker (who was unaware) that his vehicle was still under warranty and suggested he take it back to the dealer. The dealer replaced it free of charge. He could have very easily done the work for thousands but chose the high road instead. On top of his honesty, the work Don and his team does is quick and competitively priced. You can trust your vehicles here. read more

An honest car shop! I have been using Don for over 10 years and he has never let me down. I've had BMW's, Lexus & Range Rovers and he has saved me $$$! I swear by him. read more

Dropped off my Classic German car because I had so many people recommending this place. There's not alot of people with these cars so I know the community of these enthusiasts including the Mercedes Classic Parts Division guy. So when Don mentioned he knows him, I know he knows what he was doing. My car now runs strong, smooth, and just so awesome and fun to drive. He spent 10hours on my car but charged me only 3 hours. He was so excited for the opportunity to work on these classic cars. Don knows his stuff because he's been doing this before most guys have. This goes to show his old school good old fashion understanding of compression motors - no computers, no chips, not crazy electronics, just good mechanical skills. I can't trust other people with this vehicle it is too precious and too much of a collector item to get it ruined. read more

Don has worked on my ML for over ten years. He has worked on my family's porsche's as well. Not just any Porsche's, but collectables. Don and his staff are honest, well trained, and reasonable. Don't be fooled with the shop, as it can be determined as a shady shop. But, I kinda like the feel of the ole skool garage. read more

I've been picking up parts and taking my cars here for a couple years now. Don and his family are great people and they definitely know their stuff. read more

Don and his crew do an amazing job. They know German Cars and are quick to diagnose the problem. Pricing is more than fair and your vehicle will receive top quality repair in record time. read more

Don has been my mechanic for nearly 15 years. Believe everything you read about him and his shop. HONEST, nice, and provides exceptional service and work. It's a family-run shop and it shows in everything they do. I moved out of the area a couple of years ago and tried to find a more local shop, they quoted me almost twice what Don did and they also recommended unnecessary work. I won't go anywhere else. The best! read more

Don was fantastic. Great service, fair price, and quick turnaround for my Audi. It can often be challenging dealing with auto repair mechanics in my experience. However, Don was honest and fair, and made this experience as pleasant as can be expected. I will certainly be coming back for future service needs. read more

I've been going to don for over a year now for my 2001 passat. And every time exceeds expectations. One mechanic gave me a quote for the same work but double the price. Not only did don do the work for half the price but finished 3 hours early! I recommend don to anyone looking to have quality work done on their vehicle. read more

Honest and mechanic can be an ironic combination; however Don and his sons have been running an honest and professional shop for over 40 years. I highly recommend them for services on European cars. read more

Don does all the work on my 95 m3 that i can't do myself, i wouldn't trust anyone else, did a nice job on my valve seals.
