Women beware: Ron will try to take advantage and charge you for unnecessary diagnostics. First off, I called to schedule a diagnostic and was sent all these flyers with amounts on them for their services. Only to layer be told they were outdated and from last year. Then negotiated that if I left a review before getting the work done I would get the amount on the flyers. Not only that, he was aggressive in getting me to have my oil pan checked out for a diagnostic fee of $1500!! Then to get the valve cover tested to see if it needed to get repaired...another diagnostic fee Lol get out of here. When I asked to get my car back, he didn't have the decency to give me my keys but left them on the counter and left me aggressive text voice messages. I had my car repaired in Corona from a trustworthy car repair shop that specializes in BMWs. read more

I dont understand how this unprofessional shop is even in business! They attempted to charge me $3,149 for LABOR ONLY to swap my rear differential in my 2022 BMW 530i For context, this is a 4-6 hour job. MB Motor Works then told me "we can work with you on the price, WE ARE USED TO CHARGING CUSTOMER DEALERSHIP PRICING, and many just pay it. But we can work with you" he said this over the phone and in person. Which is admitting that they attempt rip off their customers first. they charged me $250 for a " diagnostic fee" that I was not made aware of until the car was towed to their shop, when all he did was put it on a lift to check the car. Didn't open a thing. Didn't do anything special. I took it to REAL professionals - Precision Import in Corona. The charge for labor was $741 for the same exact job! MB is terrible! Their customer's service is horrible! Their time management is ridiculous. read more

This shop has been by far the worst experience i have ever experienced at a mechanic shop . not only did Ron make this experience difficult by delaying work in my car due to other "quick jobs " coming in after my car purposely prioritizing faster jobs to make money rather then working on the cars in order they were brought in my car sat for at least 2 weeks before even getting looked at . Unfortunately after paying for a diagnostic fee $150 the a tear down fee $500 Ron additionally added a "assembly fee" of another $500 when i notified him i wanted to shop around and would not authorize any more work he then said he wouldn't be able to return the car i would HAVE to pay more money there was no other way . after consulting legal advice i was informed this was just not true therefore i called Ron back and asked him to leave the car ready for pickup he could not hold my car hostage and i would be picking up the car the next day . upon arrival the next day Ron was not at the shop and made me wait 2 hours to just change the time to a later time in the day when i was scheduled for work so i could not be there however i had my family pick up the car to which he threatened my mom if your son leaves a bad review of his experience at this shop it will not be the last time you see me because i will not just walk away because i will lose a lot of money . the overall experience for my mother picking up the car was so frightening and intimidating we had to file a police report with riverside police department case / report # - 260013015 negative 4 stars if i could rate this place. read more

MB Motorworks did a great job on a thorough pre-purchase inspection for me on a 2014 Mercedes Benz GL450 with a twin turbo V8. He got under the hood, under the car, and test drove it for me. He found an oil leak that the dealer had told me came from a recent oil change spill. He went back a second time to help me sort everything out, without me ever actually seeing the car. Very straightforward. Great job. Well worth the money. read more

Ron is a scammer i took my car in for a diagnostic and he kept adding "more thorough diagnostics" for more money. I told him not to do anything without my approval after the diagnostic because i didn't have that much money and wanted to shop around . When i told him i didn't have the money for the repairs at the time and needed time to save up money he started talking down to me and called me a "broke boy". When i called other shops to see how much the job he told me i needed would cost ron tried to over charge me 3,500 dollars.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE. I lucked out before bringing my car into this shady mechanic. I call and ask if he has availability today for an oil change on my car and he says yes. So far so good. He seemed normal. Then *he asks me* to text him my VIN # bc the dealer wants that info to get the parts. So he texts me and I respond to his text with the required info. I had the appointment set and was going to go there. Then he leaves me a voice note that instructs me to change the settings on MY phone to expire voice notes after 2 minutes. I ask why and what that has to do with anything. Like I just want an oil change. I'm not trying to text you for anything outside of what is required for my car. But it's like a scam artist that doesn't want a paper trail apparently. So after I text him that he calls me and gives me some BS reason of why he doesn't send texts and only voice messages (hello it's 2025 and voice notes are transcribed automatically anyways). Also, I can just take screenshots before it expires so how this makes any difference is beyond me. Furthermore, I never asked to communicate via text as he asked me to text him my VIN # but then gets mad at me. In any case, I basically say no I am not going to change my settings. These settings he's asking me to change apply to all messages not just his, so why would I want to do that. He's like if you want to do business with them I have to do this. Then he hangs up. Clearly I'm not going to do business with this person and I suggest you don't either. There are plenty of mechanics out there, so don't trust your car with this shady business. read more

Wow these guys are Flaky as hell. I don't know how you got all the good reviews but they are been awful . Texted them on Friday, spoke with someone who told me to text me my address and they would be there on Monday. Monday they never showed up so I called then and they apologized and promised to come Tuesday. Today is Tuesday and again they never showed up or gave me the courtesy of a call. I would stay far away from them. read more

I'd give them a 0 if I could. Dropped off my Benz on Friday for Service B, the flyer they texted me clearly said $295 for turbo or non turbo. They told me to leave it until Saturday and I didn't complain about waiting another day. By 5pm Saturday, I finally hear back and they say it's gonna be an extra $150 just because I have a turbo. I told them both their flyer AND their website say $295. Their excuse? "The Asian guy who does our marketing messed up, we need to update it." That's false advertising. After arguing, the guy finally says his boss told him to honor the price and they'd get a tech on it Sunday. Another wasted day. Monday comes... still nothing. Now they're saying maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. Total trash company with zero work ethic. read more

Owner is a pompous arrogant asshole who thinks he knows it all when he doesn't know shit. He speaks out of his ass with no knowledge of facts. He's overpriced and does none of the work. He sub contracts out to bmw mechanics. He thinks he's a businessman, when in fact all he is, is a scam artist. Speaks down to customers. He had a whole shop before and had now ran it back down to a mobile service now, soon to be ran out of business, bet. Just a warning to everyone out there. Don't believe me, just call or meet him and than make your own mind up. But I'm telling you afterwards you'll know that I'm right and you'll take you business elsewhere. How can you tell a good mechanic from a bad one? You take a look at his car and the cars he has out on their lot. And this guy has a lot of junk cars that he can't fix cause he doesn't know what's wrong with them, and you own a repair business right? That don't make sense now does it. Than he's trying to sell the cars for way more than there worth, and than wonders why he can't sell them. Well I thought( in his own mind) he was a good business man...... Yea up his own ass. This guy is a JOKE. Not only himself being a joke but a joke to the industry and others will tell you just that, that they joke about him at his expense. If you want to throw your money away and still have not only that existing problem business to have other ones arise all a sudden. Than yea go to him and his shit circus. But my opinion would to be run, run far away. This guy's a complete arrogant compass asshole and a joke. Fair warned. read more

If you care about ur BMW or other German import auto as I do mine, then it is imperative to have it serviced and maintained by someone who cares for it in the same fashion and Ron at MB Motorworks is that technician. While replacing the battery for my 2013 BMW 128i at a local dealership, a leaking oil filter housing gasket was discovered and a healthy quote of $1,300+ quickly followed. Not wanting my car serviced at this location, I immediately contacted the BMW dealership I've trusted for repairs on my beloved car in the past. After a few days of stressing, waiting and not hearing back from "my guy" at dealership, I contacted MB Motorworks for a simple quart of oil. I let Ron know details of my gasket woes and how I was worried about needing to make a lengthy commute with the failing gasket. He offered a quick visual inspection and assured he could let me know the severity of the leak. I pulled into garage and was instantly impressed by the organization and cleanliness of his workspace which is always a great first sign. I open the hood and without a second of hesitation Ron let me know how bad the leak was, about how long it seemed to be leaking, and how much longer I could safely drive the car without causing major damage. We discussed how he would go about fixing the leak in great detail and Ron answered every question I had about other maintenance that will be needed in the near future based off what he saw. Conversation over my BMW and other geeky BMW things concluded and I was convinced that this will be the specialist for this repair and all future needs that arise. He added half a quart of oil to the motor free of charge, gently closed the hood and quoted a reasonable $500 for parts and labor, less than half what the ghost at BMW wanted. We agreed to have the work done at my earliest convenience and I left feeling stress free, confident and happy that my cute little car would soon be fixed and running like the champion it's designed to be. After a few days in his care and a quick phone conversation to go over an additional accessory belt replacement I asked to be addressed; I got a call saying my cars service was complete and would be ready when I was. Another friendly, enthusiastic conversation and review of work completed upon my arrival; followed by the delivery of a fair bill for honest work, a quick payment and my BMW 128i is back on the road, driving happier than ever with me behind the wheel feeling the same. Ron really knocked it out of the park for me, first try! I'm happy to have such a skilled technician and honest person in my corner to keep my car running strong. To fix a car, go to a mechanic. To maintain a luxury vehicle, go to a specialist. To save money and for peace of mind, go to MB Motorworks. read more

1 star is too many. Worst experience I've ever had. called and spoke with Richard R. Salcido, the owner. I told him that my turbocharger went out on my 328i BMW. I mentioned that I had found the part and asked how much he charged. He gave me a final out-the-door cost of $1,500 if I purchased the parts; he said payment would need to be cash or Zelle. I said, "Isn't Zelle the same as cash?" He said yes, and I responded, "I will pay you via Zelle when I pick up my vehicle." Richard said, "Ok, that's fine, your car will be ready Friday, 7/26/24, or Monday, 7/29/24." We brought him all of the parts, including a complete turbocharger purchased from and inspected by Napa Auto Parts. Richard checked the parts upon arrival at his repair shop in front of my husband. There were no issues. Three days later, Richard contacted me, stating that he needed additional parts: oil and coolant lines, turbocharger manifold nuts, oil, and coolant. He later called and said he needed a gasket that would cost about $5. All items were purchased and delivered to him. Hours later that day, Richard, the owner, sent me a picture of an old part, not the part delivered to him, and claimed that we delivered a damaged part and now we need to pay an additional $150. I responded, "That is not the part we brought you." Richard began to be very disrespectful, rude, and unprofessional. I told him that I would pick up the part to take it back to Napa; he repeatedly refused, stating that he fixed it and it was already installed in my car. Within the same hour, he claimed he had not installed it. One day later, on Saturday, July 27, 2024, Richard sent me another email request stating that an additional piece was missing that could only be purchased from the dealership. The total cost was $45.62. I asked him to pick it up, and I would pay for it; I was at a conference for work. He began harassing me while I was at work, demanding that I call him. When I could not because I was working, he sent me an email saying, "Cash only! If you do not pick up your car, I will start charging you an $85/day storage fee." This was after he stated on Thursday that my car would be ready Friday or Monday. I contacted Richard on Friday around 6 pm. to check on my car, and he stated that my car was not ready. On Sunday, July 28, 2024, when I returned from my conference, I spoke with Richard. He stated my car was ready and I needed to bring $1,545.62 now. He continued, stating that if I didn't, he would charge an $85/day storage fee. I explained that the bank is not open on Sundays, but I could Zelle him the full amount as originally agreed and pick up my car on Sunday. Richard replied, "No, I want cash only, if you don't have it bring it Monday, if you don't bring it, I'm charging you $85/day storage staring after 12pm. On Monday, I went to Richard's shop during my lunch, thinking I could pay him quick and pick up my car. Richard then refused to release my car to me even when I brought cash as he requested. He kept my car locked up in his garage, and when I requested a receipt for the part he picked up for me, he stated he would not provide receipts for parts he purchased although I reimbursed him. My husband and I were completely shocked at how we had been treated by Richard. He switched the new part that we brought him with an old damaged part. As soon as he finally released our vehicle; we drove it to BMW to conduct a full diagnostic to make sure that he had not done anything else to our vehicle.

For Christ's Sake!!! What kind of business sends insulting emails to his customers like this??? This is unspeakably unprofessional . I've done business with hundreds of corporates probably and I have never seen this rude, unprofessional, and unacceptable behavior from anyone before. This is seriously new to me. The individual who sent this email is a male and his name is Robert. Listen Mr. Robert: Regardless of what the urgent/emergent reason that would make any of your customers not come to what so called appointment, you shall never send them that kind of emails. Behave with you customers Robert if you would like a chance for your business to grow. Folks, as an advice, in case you need any work done with you BMW/German Car do not go to this mechanic, you'll regret it. If you wanna get your chances go ahead, but I certainly do not recommend it. Attached is a copy of the email sent by the person who is supposed to be in charge of the workshop. His name is Robert. read more

Johnny was very communicative and accommodating through the whole process of having the oil change, brake fluid change, and vehicle check done on our BMW 328i. There was a leak found and Johnny also took photos of it which I appreciated because a lot of shops will just tell you something needs fixed without providing any real evidence. He was kind enough to work with our limited schedule to get this done and even through in a complimentary fluid top off. The location is safe and clean. I would just be sure to schedule ahead and communicate clearly with the team here to make sure it's a great experience all around. read more

TL;DR: bad experience previously, found out today the parts he replaced weren't right either. Okay so, I don't know if Ricardo is still here but according to a review from 5 months ago he still is, so I don't know much about the integrity of the other workers at this establishment but I'd like to give an update to my experience from several years ago. I started experiencing similar engine issues today, and I went back to my regular mechanic this time who told me that the coil that Ricardo replaced for me last time was obviously not the authentic parts that he CLAIMED they were, and that they would need to be replaced yet again. I vividly remember Ricardo boasted to me about how he was best friends with some BMW dealership and could score great deals on authentic parts (and overcharging me). Previously I was living in Riverside and didn't want to make the drive out so I chose Mission Bell (Big mistake, see previous review). I saw some reviews stating he has left the establishment but I also have seen similar experiences to mine, so I just wanted to warn people. Not only did I have a bad experience, my car wasn't even properly serviced. read more

This is a small business that does quality work. Left my car in the safety of their locked parking lot as I couldn't pick up right away. Thanks! read more

5 stars aren't enough.  I finally met someone as picky as me and THAT is a good thing.  I brought my Porsche Boxster S to Robert because the dealers are crooks. He did an outstanding job.  Kept my car as clean as it was when I brought it to him.  He replaced the water pump, Thermostat,  drive belt and axel boots.  There was a time line issue because porsche didn't have the parts so he had to go to different cities to get them ABOVE AND BEYOND.  I'm glad to have my baby back in my garage and not on a rack for repair.  He did a BETTER JOB than they would've done at porsche.  I'll be back. Just hoping it's not soon because these repairs were expensive.  He even gave me a ride home and picked me up when my car was ready.  Now THAT is great customer service.  This guy is worth his weight in gold.  Definitely and highly recommend him for Porsche autos. He's knows his stuff. 20 years,  he's the best. Thank you Robert. read more

This man is a liar in his response review. As I said, it took him a whole week to diagnose my car to tell me what I had been already telling him what was the problem. He says I tried to get my car fixed for free. Not once did I ask you for free work. Also, I never spoke with you about my finances. Don't try and water my comment down making me out to be a freeloader. If you want me to be honest, you were the one who offered me a "discount" if I was to give you a 5-star review on google and yelp. Let's keep it real. Not that I give you an honest review but you said specifically a "5-star Review". Ask these other customers who gave him a "5-Star Review". They know I ain't lying. He told us to put 5 stars for a discount. Look guys. This is why it takes forever for him to get your car back to you.

Today, my fiancé Ronnie Etheridge was ripped off by $1,000 by Robert - the mechanic at Mission Bell Motorworks in Riverside Ca as of today, August 15th, 2023. Robert ripped him off and had my fiancé Zelle him personally $1,000 to his personal account to fix a brake booster. Next thing Robert calls Ronnie back and informs him that the brake booster is fine - it's the vacuum pump needs to be changed which he said would be an additional $600. He never asked to diagnose my car! If Robert knew the booster was fine he should have called Ronnie and told him it's not the brake booster but the vacuum pump. Then when I told him he is conducting unethical business and wouldn't refund me $500 of the $1000 - Robert hung the phone up on me. In addition to this bad Yelp Report, I've made a report to The police, The Better Business Bureau - the Chamber of Commerce and RIP OFF REPORT. My advice is to stay far AWAY from Robert & Mission Bell Motorworks. Ronnie Etheridge & Michelle L. read more

Found Mission Bell Motorworks online looking for an oil change. They were advertising a deal on their website that expired, but they were happy to honor the mistake.

If you're looking for top-quality and efficient service by a former BMW dealership mechanic who graduated at the top of his class, you've found the right place. I knew the moment I walked in and saw the certifications and awards on the walls that I was in the right place. When I don't take my car straight to the dealership for service, it's important to me that my car is serviced by those trained by the dealership - they understand the car, know exactly what materials to use, and they can foresee future issues.
