I have very high regard for the work the MDM team has done on my 2009 Maserati GT. Always helpful, thorough and honest with assessing what my seldom-driven car needs, and most importantly, doesn't need. I couldn't be happier with my experience with them over the past 10 years. David read more

Do not take your car here!!! This is not the same original business with all the good reviews. I had two friends who highly recommended them so I trusted this business to do a common repair on my Ferrari. What was that a mistake! This business was sold by Mark Douglas apparently the month before I took my car there. And did not find that out until halfway through this headache process. The owner, Mike is somebody who has absolutely no ability or skill to run a Ferrari service. My service took over six weeks total, four weeks for them just waiting to get a part that Ferrari N.A. has in stock and told me they could receive in 5 days or less. Once they had the part it took them an additional two weeks just to get them installed. The entire time I was never called or emailed with an update. Not once! I had to call myself every week just to see what was happening and every time I called Mike would answer the phone and give me a terrible attitude just because I wanted an update. At one point I had to drive down there because they claimed their phone service was down for 3 days. He played it off like I'm annoying him just to get an update on my car sitting in their shop. On top of that when they claimed it was finally done, I go to pick it up and the car is shooting out an insane amount of smoke to the point where it looks like it was on fire. Turns out they completely overfilled the oil. They said it's no big deal and happens all the time. I've never seen such a thing. It took them, three more days to drain the oil. Oil was in the air filters all the sensors my exhaust system and covered the entire carbon fiber engine bay They clearly do not know what they're doing and are just winging things as they go along. They even lied to me and told me they were working on my car to get it done the following night so I drove by the shop and it was completely closed. I am only writing this review to warn others not to trust them with your expensive car. When I finally picked up my car and confronted Mike about all the headache and trouble all he said "well it's fixed now". No apologies or even explanations for their incompetence. Definitely not the kind of customer service you would expect trusting someone with your Ferrari. read more

I brought my Maserati Ghibli in for a routine 2 year maintenance. It's always very intimidating to do anything car related as a woman, but the manager was very easy to work with!

I went to MDM recently to have their team replace some sensors on my Ferrari 430 and was very satisfied with their service and turnaround. From the minute I walked into the shop to explain my issue the team was super knowledgeable and assured me they could get it fixed. MDM even diagnosed another faulty sensor in a separate issue and were able to get that replaced as well. I was referred here by a friend who's been taking his sports cars here for years. I usually go to Ferrari Newport but was forced to look elsewhere after a recent bad experience there. MDM was the opposite and made sure I was updated throughout the repair process...something all shops should do but don't. Really glad that I now found a better alternative to the dealership that I can trust with my cars for maintenance or repairs. read more

Mark Douglas Motorworks - Auto Repair Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I've been taking my Porsche Cayman to Mark Douglas Motorworks (MDM) ever since I bought my dream car in 2017, and I've never looked back. I found them on Yelp, and after reading their 5 star reviews, I figured it was worth a shot. I've rarely had good experiences taking my car in for maintenance at car dealerships in the past, and on top of that, the dealerships are significantly higher than MDM. MDM is a small, family-owned mechanic shop who specializes in high quality European cars without the high dealership price tag! It's not unusual to see Ferrari's, Porsche's, Lamborghini's, Maserati's and similar cars being serviced in their garage. They're located in a small car repair center area off of Los Alisos and Madero in Mission Viejo. There are 3 or 4 other car mechanic shops in that same area. If I'm just getting an oil change done or something minor, I usually bring my laptop and get some work done in their lobby while I'm waiting for my car. It's a small lobby with one table and WiFi access. A simple service like an oil change typically takes an hour, with an appointment made in advance. My maintenance services typically take longer, so I'll usually drop my car off and take an Uber to my next destination until my car is ready for pick up. They do not have rental cars like the large dealerships, but that's not a problem to me. In addition to their incredible rates, their service is always top-notch! In the past, Mike used to answer the phones and work the front desk, and he's always very mellow and nice. Recently John has been at the front desk, and he's very outgoing and friendly. The mechanics who work on my car are efficient and thorough. After my service is complete, they always take the time to go over each item in detail and explain what was done to my car. In addition, whenever I'm in need of other services that they don't offer, such as a detailer or a tire shop, they always hook me up with reputable vendors. Last of all, and probably most important, I never feel like I'm getting ripped off by them. They are nice, honest guys whose #1 priority is taking care of their customers at a reasonable and fair price. I would highly recommend them! read more

Mark and his crew are the highest caliber ethical fair and knowledgable. They really focus on detail and customer service. They babied my Maserati making it run like a mouse with slippers on.

I'm grateful and appreciative of Mark Douglas MotorWorks, I give them tte highest rating and enthusiastic recommendation. read more

This place is a gem for exotic cars. I was having difficulty getting Ferrari in Newport to even return a call. Raging Bull auto service wasn't really any better. To busy to help me with my issue. My Ferrari battery died while car was in garage. Couldn't be jumped. They came and were able to get the cat out. Fixed the battery and a bad relay that drained the battery. Price was reasonable. read more

Excellent staff. Great work on Maseratti service. Staff doesn't try to over charge. Fast and reliable.

Very efficient and competent service on my Maserati Gran Turismo MC. Good advise to replace wiper blades and they took the car to their recommended tire service workshop.

Top notch service!!! I've taken my Maserati Quattroporte Sport GTS twice. From oil change to alternator, spark plugs, battery and fluid flushes. Very reasonable pricing and excellent labor rates. They've even washed my car with big services, to helping me get a ride back when I drop off my car. Mark, the owner, is very knowledge. He will take the time to discuss things with you. Sean (mechanic), is excellent too. Both are great people and make you feel that they are there to help you with your car, not take advantage of you. Not once have I ever felt like I was being ripped off. I noticed another customer with two Ferrari's being very thankful to them for his auto service. These guys are honest. I trust them, other people trust them. I am very happy I have a mechanic I can take my car too. I never post reviews like this unless I mean it. read more

Mark Douglas Motorworks - Maserati Quattroporte Sport GTS - 5th Generation - Auto Repair Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Very trustworthy guy. And his prices are reasonable. The one caveat and why I don't put a five star is I think if you have a Ferrari or Aston absolutely take it to Mark. But other brands he doesn't know the nuances. And it's OK as we all know cars from different manufactures all have their different quirks across all models so it's impossible for one person to know all of them. But I think you should tell you that ahead of time. Other than that, if you have a Ferrari Aston Martin, he's your guy. read more

I recently found Mark Douglas Motorworks when searching for a reliable import auto repair shop on Yelp. From the moment I called to ask a few questions and make an appointment, I knew this repair shop was different in every way. The employee with whom I spoke was kind, courteous, and took time to answer my questions, even though it was late in the day on a Friday. They promptly called me the following Monday to set up an appointment. The owner is great and the entire team is is highly experienced and professional. They completed the maintenance work on my Maserati quickly and efficiently, and for FAR less than I would have paid at the dealership. After this first experience with Mark Douglas Motorworks, it's abundantly clear why they have solid 5 star rating here on Yelp. They're my new go-to! read more

Mark Douglas Motorworks takes care of my Audi A5. I have only been there for routine maintenance so far but am very happy with their customer service. They even gave me a ride home! They're definitely the place to take your expensive or exotic car with well trained mechanics and reasonable pricing . Definitely going to take my Porsche there as well. I highly recommend this business based on my experience. Well I took my Audi To Mark Douglas Motorworks and they said it needed a new power steering rack because the electric part that activated the low speed power assist wasn't working and that " you can't just replace that part" so they quoted me $3,500 to replace the whole rack and pinion and power steering units. I called around and wound up taking it to John's foreign car repair in Mission Viejo where they replaced just the low speed power assist and changed the power steering fluid all for $1,000.00. My new mechanics from now on! read more

Took my boss's car in a couple of times and each time had the best service. Mike is great!!! He communicates with you at every step and you never feel like they are just making up problems to get your money. He was really honest with what was an immediate repair vs what could wait . Really appreciate everything he has done!! read more

First and foremost I really do not know where to start, but I will give it my best shot! I called Mark Douglas Motorworks and spoke to Mark with my problem. It was an extremely extensive and costly repair, but he was patient and very concerned to help me. He took my car and a day later called me with the results. As mentioned, extensive and costly! But he was so polite, understanding, professional and helpful he went over all the details of my repair. He worked with me on part prices and showed such concerns that I have never experienced at an automotive shop. I was flabbergasted to meet and work with such a genuine individual such as Mark. By the was he is the owner. If you own an exotic car such as Bentley, Rolls Royce, etc. etc. this is by far the place to take your vehicle. If I were to rank Mark Douglas Motorworks I would have to give it 5 stars, plus 5 stars for a total of 10 stars. Mark by far is the top professional in the automobile industry...............

These guys are legit. I was looking for someone to replace my long term Porsche mechanic who retired, and I think I found the place. Brought in my Cayenne for what superficially seemed to be a transmission issue. They found the real (unrelated) problem and fixed it, fixed one other issue and did some preventative maintenance for a great price! Def taking my vintage Boxster there next. It tends to be a good sign when somebody puts their name on their work... Thanks for a great job! read more

I've been coming here for years for my Ghibli. Mark's honest and his team is great. I don't see a need to go back to the dealer service department. read more

Mark came highly recommended on Yelp. I needed a solid independent porsche mechanic so I decided to drive about 60 miles to his shop. Glad I have. Everything went smoothly. Service was top quality. The facility is clean and organised. No unnecessary sales pitch, no lies, no maybes nor buts. I'm pleased to add to Mark's spotless Yelp's reputation. read more

Highly recommend to others. Service for my Maserati is much more reasonable here and to make things better so are the staff and owner.

I've lived in the area for 30+ years and purchased a new Maserati 3 years ago. Very hard to find a place that will service a Maserati outside of the dealer. I found servicing at the dealer to be a far drive for me and expensive. They did my service and I dropped off and picked up in the same day. Very professional and trust worthy. I would highly recommend them. I will be back! read more

Best costomer service, honest and high quality work for my maserati ghibli, you won't be disappointed.

If you have a Maserati and need service this is the place to go. Shop is clean enough to easy your lunch off of. Drove up and they did the rest. Car lift did not scrape bottom. Mechanic left not mess or smell up inside, comes back as clean as you gave it put it in ..,.prices are about half dealer with out the wait. Also on of a few speciality Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati shops that can reset the computer. Yep, they did the extras, add fluid, ck for leaks, tire pressure, breaks, etc. Highly recommend. read more

Mark and his team do top notch work at a very reasonable price! I saved hundreds going to MDM rather than a dealer.

I have been taking my cars to MDM for years - Audis, BMW, Mercedes and Lexus - and in every instance I've gotten superior service at a great price. Time and again these guys have proven that I can trust them to take my car in, ask that they check it thoroughly and do what is needed, and I am never charged anything but a great price and unnecessary work is never done. It doesn't get better than that. Can't recommend them highly enough. read more

My experience with them has been awesome from start to finish. I brought my 2007 Maserati Quattroporte in for a few things due to sitting in the garage for months and going dead. They did an oil change, replaced the window motor, fixed my brake light, and an transmission and engine flush. They always responded to messages, questions, and changing of plans with the fastest reply time that I have experienced on Yelp. read more
