I LOVE Laguna Motor Werks !! Vic is amazing and I feel confident taking my old - 2007 SL550 - to him. I trust his assessments and believe that he keeps all charges in check. Quinn is the most efficient and pleasant "right hand woman" handling the desk and the customers !! Really appreciate them and the work that is done . Blessed to have them in my neighborhood !!! read more

Vick and company are the honest and straight forward car guys you have been looking for. I started taking my BMW to them over a year ago and I recommend them to family, friends and coworkers also. Instead of using scare tactics like most places in Orange County they explain what can be put off til the next oil change and what needs to be done sooner then later. Plus they have the cutest mascot ever, an English Bulldog :) read more

They did a great job on my GLA brakes. I'm new in the area & they gave me an honest quote. This shop is also overlooking the ocean so it's very easy to find. read more

Great friendly service! I happened to lock my keys in my car down the street and they were more than willing to assist quickly and efficiently! read more

Took my Mercedes ML to get serviced here for a regular service "b." Major perk: The price was 1/2 compared to what a normally pay, but I didn't feel the quality of service was lost at any step along the process. I was able to make an appointment and the service professionals were very courteous and answered any questions that I had as well as explained what my car needed/what they worked on. Pros: -although they do not wash your car, they provide a gift certificate for a local car wash. -the explain what is upcoming and tell you it's okay to wait for next service compared to fixing it ASAP as the dealers often recommend. -friendly, professional service. Not "salesly" and they own the type of cars they service. -only work on German cars. Cons: No free coffee or loaner cars as the dealers provide, but if you think about it the the price of these items is a reason why the dealership price is double then what you may be quoted here. read more

Recently brought my BMW here for a battery replacement. Not only was the owner Vick insanely nice but also very informative about things that are helping me get free maintenance on my car. I'll definitely be bringing my car back here when I need work done, but according to Vick may not be for a while because my car is in great shape! read more

They made getting my car serviced a dream. Easy appointment process and the price for the work was great. Plus they were really friendly. I love that they text you vs having to call for everything. read more

If you want old time no hassle great honest repairs done to your car, I highly recommend Laguna Motor Werks! Everyone was extremely nice and helpful, without pushing unneeded repairs. This is the ONLY shop in Orange County where I actually trust the mechanics and their work. Professional to the fullest! If your looking for a fair honest mechanic, you've found them! Plus you even get a car wash. Winning! read more

Great mechanics! I have been bringing my cars here for years and truly enjoy the trip to the mechanics unlike most lol. It's really hard to find an honest mechanic nowadays but these guys are just that and amazing mechanics to boot! read more

I love the gang at Laguna Motor Werks - they are the best - professional, quickly diagnose and repair. Prices are very reasonable and these fellows are so accomodating. I highly, highly recommend this place. They deserve 10 stars! read more

Great Service! Aaron was super helpful in guiding me in the right direction for the services I needed. Being a girl, I don't know much about cars and always feel like auto shops are always trying to rip me off just because I don't know any better. But not here! I didn't feel like i was being taken advantage of at all. Prices are reasonable and they do great work and have a great team! Highly recommend!!! read more

Vic and his staff are great! Excellent and very friendly customer service. I like to do business with as many local Laguna Beach businesses as possible, and this one is a keeper. Trust your Mercedes in the hands of Laguna Motor Werks - you won't be disappointed! read more

My husband and I been using their services for our Brand New Mercedes-Benz since they are the authorized service provider and much less expensive with more personal touch. We also have Volkswagen and Toyota that they servicing for us. Their personal service and honesty is what has kept us going there. I recommend them to all my friends and family. Finding Good and honest mechanic is very difficult. Look no more try this place. read more

They should give us the option to put 10 out of 5 stars!!!!! This place is by far as good as it gets when it comes to an auto shop. Vic and the guys are the most knowledgable, and incredibly honest mechanics I have ever gone to! I moved back to Vegas over 6 months ago and will drive 4 hours any day of the week, even if it is just for an oil change to take my baby to them. They work on her just as if she was their own car and I greatly appreciate it and them!!!!! I would and have recommended them to EVERYONE I know!!!!!! Thanks guys!!!!!!! read more

These guys do a great job - after dealing with subpar service at the dealer with my Audi SQ5, I brought it to Laguna Motor Werks and had a great experience. I like that you know who is working on your car - Vic has a ton of experience, definitely knows his stuff and is a great guy that has you and your car's best interest in mind. Not only do you get better, friendlier service but the price is much more reasonable than what the dealer would charge. read more

After meeting these guys, I'm never going to the dealer again! Why would you? To get ripped off?? No way! Rene's the best!! In the past they've even dropped off my car at me house while I went on vacation. You can't get that anywhere else. I definitely recommend this place :) read more

Couldn't have been an easier service experience for my Mercedes, I dropped the car off with Vick and was given a diagnosis the next morning with a couple of options for repairs. The work was done quickly and my car now feels great (and safe!) to drive again. Pick up is simple with their after-hours service, too. Would recommend Vick and his team to anyone local to Laguna. A far better experience than the corporate dealerships which over-charge for basic services, this is an honest company with fair pricing, excellent workmanship and great personal service! read more

I can't imagine a better or more friendly place to take your car for service. I've taken two different Mercedes-Benzes and a Toyota 4Runner there and have been 100% satisfied with their work Highest recommendation! read more

Aaron is great. Car was fixed and ready in same day and came in under bid. What a great surprise.

Excellent Service even cleaned my car! John and gang are so friendly and work with you.

Every time we have gone here, the experience has been good to exceptional. I feel that they are more interested in getting things right and building a long term relationship instead of seeing how much they can get you for on the invoice at hand. I have had many honest conversations with them about prioritizing what might be taken care of now and what could wait until the next visit. When you aren't on any kind of warranty, this kind of dialogue an is invaluable. Only one negative to report. They recommended I replace a part that I found out, later at the dealer, wasn't broken. They didn't have the particular machine to test that part. So it should have been made clear that they were recommending replacement of a part that wasn't already shot. Their recommendation to replace it was made based on what they saw as visible corrosion (probably due to the fact that we live by the beach). But I think it's a minor negative in the overall scheme of things. I recommend Laguna Motor Werks. Ask as many questions as you like, and even get a second opinion. But they will take care of you, you will leave there happy and you will want to return. read more

Great first experience. I was in a tough spot, new to the area, major car trouble and Aaron really helped me out. He was honest and fair re: price and helped me out with advice above and beyond the status quo. I chose this place based on location and Yelp reviews literally as my car was dying and super worried b/c I didn't have a new auto shop yet where I moved to. I love it when the reviews are truly accurate. I brought my new "used" car to Aaron right away to make sure it wasn't a lemon. So great second experience too! read more

Excellent customer service!!! Quick turnaround. Fair prices. Vic and Rene were great!

These guys are the best. We have been taking our Audi, Porsche, and even our van to them for everything and they do a great job and are reasonable. I recommend highly. The pricing is also very reasonable they finish when they say they will and the repairs are excellent quality. We have been going there for years. read more

I originally didn't leave Vic a nice review, hopefully he will think a little more how he treats locals - Vic please treat locals with a little more respect - your reputation is everything in business. read more

$120 to diagnose a window not working after car wash in classic 1991 SEC. Really? Explained new in town and looking for service I could trust. Found a place within a block. Car dried out and no repair was needed. I hate to even imagine the diagnosis. Wow. read more

I had a horrible experience at Motor when I was forced to have a radiator hose fixed there. The so called mechanics looked as if they were all high. I smelled weed in the air but I hoped it was all medicinal. They were ridiculously expensive for a 20 minute job. They were very rude when I questioned the cost. I would not bring my lawnmower to this so called business. I hope the DEA stop for a repair and to smell the air. Any one have the number to the DEA? Stay as far from here as possible. Minus 3 stars read more

I had a PPI and a leakdown test done. I have bought vehicles in the past and had inspections done at other facilities who would charge separately (and exorbitantly) for both. It was a pleasant surprise when Aaron told me there was only one charge and didn't feel it was right to charge extra for the leakdown test. The inspection was very thorough and a detailed PDF was emailed to me. Aaron also provided a contact for an auto appraisal. Thanks again to everyone at Laguna Motor Werks! read more

I had an excellent experience at Laguna Motor Werks. They were very thorough and let me know everything, minor and major, that needed fixing. They were honest in letting me know which issues could wait to be fixed at a later time. The service was amazing. They were very nice and seemed to really care. I'll be taking my car there from now on. read more

I found Vic and John to be very honest, professional and friendly. They definitely know their way around Mercedes.

These days it's very difficult to find a shop like this that's actually honest, doesn't try to sell you unnecessary parts/services, and makes the effort to try to get things done as quickly, efficiently and conveniently as possible for you. Vick and his team are awesome. I bought my car from a small, private dealership and still choose to do all services and repairs through LMW rather than the guys who sold it to me because of how positive the experience is every time. Thanks guys. read more

John and Vic were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and fair with their pricing. The entire crew comes from top-tier dealerships and treat their facility as such. Take a look around at other independent shops and you will generally find a dirty facility that is in shambles. The extreme cleanliness of Laguna Motor Werks facility, down to the mechanics' stalls, along with the friendly and open demeanor of the staff shows a high personal respect for the work they perform, and a respect for their customers that is hard to find in the automotive industry. I couldn't give Laguna Motor Werks a higher recommendation! read more

Vick and the team at Laguna Motor Werks have serviced our two vehicles since they opened in 2009. The have an Audi S4 Avant and a VW GTI. They have done efficient and cost effective maintenance for each car and as a bonus they are walking distance from my home! In 2011 we had two unscheduled service visits for the GTI - both problems quickly diagnosed and repaired at LMW. At the end of the year we were notified by VW that these two repairs were now included in an extended 10 year/100,000 mile warranty. They asked for any previous repairs done and the documentation from LMW was sufficient to be fully reimbursed - not discounted or questioned by VW. These guys are my team in Laguna for automotive service! read more

The street view of the premises doesn't nearly reflect the high quality professional service. John makes you feel like he truly appreciates your business. The work performed is of very high quality and fairly priced. I had an oil change on my C300 Mercedes and the inspection that went along with it would compair to any Mercedes Dealer service I have ever received. There were a few items identified that need attention ( which I already knew). No high pressure sales talk, just a good explaination of the problem and the price to fix. Even a suggestion to "just monitor" for one of the items. Try to get that at a Mercedes dealer or other shop. Friendly, honest, fairly priced and extremely compitent mechanics. Don W read more

This is the first time I've ever written a review about any product, company, or service because this company is on point and everyone needs to know. Aaron, time again and again, has provided A+ service for my BMW Z4 at a moment's notice. My first time here I ripped off the oil pan shield under my car on a sleep slope downtown. Aaron was able to get me back up and running that hour. It wasn't a new-part job and he was honest about, only charging me for the re-bolting. About a month later I was involved in my first car accident and was pushed into a highway wall next to the car pool lane. After having my vehicle towed to LMW at 1am and dropping it off, I received a call at 9:10 AM from Aaron. He had already found a replacement tire to match and would have my car ready by 10am. I had a family emergency that day and wasn't able to call him back until 5:30PM. When I did, he was already on his way home, yet he turned around, picked me up from my house after I mentioned of getting a taxi to meet there, and brought me back to the shop for the car. Most companies wouldn't have even picked up their phone. read more

The folks at Laguna Motor Werks are honest and extremely knowledgeable. They've successfully built a strong relationship within the community. I've been a customer since they arrived in Laguna Beach. I will never go anywhere else. I recommend this team of pros to everyone. Thanks for always being so great, guys!! :) read more

Let me start off by saying that Vic is a very nice guy. Unfortunately I was disappointed by my experience. I took my 2014 Audi RS7 in for a noise that I thought was a fan belt. Vick diagnosed it to be a faulty crankcase ventilation valve. He initially gave me an estimate of $2,000. It was convenient so I agreed. I figured his rates would be much lower than the Audi dealer - my mistake! He called a few days later and said that he missed that the cameras needed to be recalibrated and would cost $1,000 more. After getting the car back my Homelink garage opener did not work. He forgot to reconnect. I later found out the repair was covered by an extended warranty but unfortunately Vic charged me $1,000 more than what the dealers charge so they only reimbursed $2000. Also, confirmed with another independent that they would have charged $2,000. I called Vic and expected him to offer to refund back some or all of the difference. But this did not happen. My bad for not getting an estimate from the dealer and another independent! I will not be going back to Laguna Motor Werks for any of my vehicles. read more
