TEMECULA VALLEY EUROPEAN is a TOP NOTCH! Matt was incredibly amazing! He was helpful, knowledgeable, kind, professional and reliable. I have immensely respect for him because he is genuinely a blessing and a person with a good heart! . I needed his help during that time and my schedule was hectic (I was from out of town and came in to his auto shop with my great Aunt and Uncle who recommended him) he immediately did the work , even though the task may be easy or simple enough to get the job done quickly it was a big deal for me, I received a great help and support without hesitation (in that time of frustration it means a lot!) which gave me a relief and a peace of mind! I highly recommend Matt and his business because he is truly an honest person and always ready to help! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING MATT, I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST, GOD BLESS YOU!! (It was November 2023). read more

This is going to be my second review now on yelp. I wanna start by saying these guys are no BS service they quote you on what you need and will even pre-purchase parts of your serious about getting a service from them so be mindful of that. They also schedule on your time so it's more convinient and when I got my car back it was clean. Like the way I gave it to them and no issues so far driving all day today. For those wondering I got a Transmissiom service for a fair price i'd say and it was pretty quick and they did a free inspection on my car would recommend thank you guys again will definitely come back!!!! read more

I was referred by my son to get my battery replaced & reprogrammed my BMW. He bought his battery at Autozone & had it installed no issues. I called in the morning & asked for same service & spoke to Hazel. She said she would call back later in afternoon to give me a time to come for service. She never called back! I called following morning & Hazel said they couldn't help me as it was a liability if I brought in a battery I purchased. She was unaware my son did exactly that! I felt like I was lied to. Will definitely spread the word about the inconsistency!! read more

Customer service was outstanding and the level of attention was amazing. I really enjoy working with everyone at Temecula Valley Import.

If I could give 10 stars I would! Matt went above and beyond to get my car fixed that has been sitting for months! Communication was the best part about the process! Thank you Matt and Temecula Valley Import for taking care of me and my car and making this whole process easy as possible! read more

Honest Honest Honest - no long pauses and the big number!!! Matt is a top notch operator offering years of technical experience. His customer service ethic is always "spot on". read more

There is no better repair shop in the valley then Temecula valley Auto repair. It is next to impossible to find an honest mechanic and yet Matt is as honest as they come. Every time I come to his shop he goes above and beyond and gives me the best deal and explains everything. Once I came in for a simple oil change and he went through every inch of my vehicle found two burnt out bulbs and replaced them for free. He pointed out a broken engine mount that another shop had just repaired. So often he will catch some shoddy workmanship that another shop just rushed through and did a poor job. If you need your car repaired this is the place to go look no further. Thank you again Matt you are awesome. You have a customer for life. read more

It was an excellent shop, and everyone was very friendly and helpful. I will bring my Landrover and BMW here for service.

Went to this shop on recommendation from another shop that said this place specialized in repairs for European makes and models so brought my suv in for some repairs and the owner Mark got me me taken care of quickly and at a fair price. If I have any other issues with my suv In the future I wouldn't hesitate to come back and see Mark. read more

In short: best place ever! I'm a 64-year young woman who knows nothing about cars. I drive a 2009 Mercedes. If it wasn't for Matt, I wouldn't know what to do. Fast, efficient, friendly, courteous, personable, goes above and beyond the call of duty. I completely trust Matt. Once again, he saved me a ton of money today. Couldn't be happier! read more

I have used this mechanic four times now. The owner worked for someone for a long time, clients loved him, and he broke away and opened his own business. I was looking for a mechanic and so tired of getting burned, overcharged, misdiagnosed, or pulling away only to have problems reoccur shortly after paying a lot to correct a problem and mechanics not standing by their work. Matt King is a professional with integrity and great character. And he knows his stuff. The way Picasso knows his canvas. Matt and his crew know their cars. It's like an art. They are good at what they do and fair with their prices. Super honest men. I wouldn't go anywhere else at this point. read more

I came in for my appointment and they said it would be 45 minutes for an oil change but it ended up being over 2 hours. Also the price they charged me was higher than what I was told on the phone and when I asked about it the owner said he won't service my car again. Not the way to run a business or treat a customer. read more

Matt is pretty awesome and trustworthy. He was up front and honest with what was needed with my VW. He did not over charge me with parts and labor. Fixed my CEL so I can pass smog. I highly recommend TVI to anyone with a European vehicle! read more

Matt is such a pleasure to work with. He definitely goes above and beyond to ensure his customers are well taken care of. He is very knowledgeable in the business and after my first encounter with him, I wholeheartedly trust his advice and expertise when it comes to cars. He did a pre-inspection on a Volkswagen Jetta that I was going to buy and he instantly spotted out some defects about the car without having to actually take it into the garage. His great eye and expertise saved me a lot of money. I wish I lived closer so he could be my go to mechanic. His business is so professional and every employee I encountered outside of Matt upheld the same energy and professionalism. Businesses like Matt's are hard to come by nowadays. I would highly recommend this place to those that are in the area and in need of a mechanic shop. Thank you Matt!! read more

I bring my BMW to get the door to open, Matt and his team were very courteous, friendy and professional. I felt like going to the 5 star hotel for the level of services from an autoshop. Communication was on point, Matt is honest, explained all the options with detail. I would highly recommend their bussiness , Matt is very knowledgable about European cars, he also keeps the customer interest in mind and can be trusted. Thank you Matt , we will bring our cars for any repair needs. read more

I was driving to Murrieta from NorCal when my brakes warning lights came on. I just had the brakes changed by my local mechanic. I called Matt when I got into town and he agreed to see me on the spot. He checked the brakes and tried out the braking system and saw no danger of driving the car back to NorCal. It is shame Temecula Valley Import is not in my home town. They are honest, quick and caring. I highly recommend them read more

The only place I'll take my car! Been here a handful of times but never for the same issue. Matt has been quick and efficient and because it's sometimes tough finding a trustworthy mechanic, I plan on coming here with all my future car issues. 5 stars. read more

This is probably the most honest and reliable mechanic. The owner Matt is very knowledgeable and professional. My car was fixed in a timely manner. I recommend Temecula Valley Import to everyone. I will definitely use again. Thanks for everything TVI. read more

Matt has been my mechanic for years, when he called me to tell me that he was opening up his own shop I was thrilled!! Not only does he work on European cars like my husbands, he also works on American cars like my Durango. Matt is well versed in his craft, he really knows his stuff, he's honest, reliable and reasonable on his prices. If you need a great family mechanic for normal maintenance, diagnostics or project cars, I highly recommend Matt at TVI! read more

I couldn't be happier, recently my 07 VW GTI started sounding like a diesel only problem it's not a diesel. I ended up taking my car to TVI as the owner Matt has worked on my Volkswagens before and knows what he's doing where most shops I've been in the past have no clue when it comes to European cars. Well my GTI ended up needing a new cam chain tensioner which apparently Is pretty common on the FSI engines and potentially catastrophic if it fails. But now my car sounds as good as the day I bought it and all at a great price. Thanks again! read more

Awesome service from the owner Matt. Very honest and knowledgeable on European cars. He is very reasonably priced and doesn't try to sell you services that you don't need. Highly recommend this shop as I will continue to use his services! read more

Matt saves the day!! I brought my VW in for an issue that Carmax misdiagnosed, and he was able to fix my vehicle quickly and the price wasn't bad either. Honestly if it wasn't for him I'd be in a hurt locker right now as far as trasnportation goes. He's smart, friendly, and efficient. Highly recommend! Thanks Matt! read more

Matt King, at TVI, is the best mechanic around! I am so happy he and his family, moved into our neighborhood and we could meet him and find out what an excellent, honest, knowledgeable mechanic and neighbor to our community, he and his family are! Matt has worked on my BMW 320i, for a few years and diagnosed and figured out things that not even BMW could. In my opinion, he is the best around. We will never use anyone but him! He goes over and beyond to make his clients happy! I trust his work ethic, knowledge and care he puts into each repair or just simple maintenance on our vehicles. Thank you Matt, glad we know you and our cars have you! read more

Took the chance to take my car here and I'm so glad that I did! Matt was very helpful and truthful with the issues I have with my car. As a woman it's very hard to find a mechanic that will not mislead you into fixing the actual issues your having. We've heard of some horror stories of some women getting ripped off by mechanics simply because some of us doesn't have any knowledge with cars. But I really appreciate how honest Matt is and a very good mechanic. I will be taking my cars here from now on. I'm so thankful that I finally found my new mechanic! read more

Great shop....they service all of our company vehicles and always do good work at affordable prices. Matt always calls to discuss options if he runs into unexpected issues while digging further into repairs. We trust him completely which is hard to find in that industry! read more

I had my oil changed at TVI Friday and am very pleased with the work done. Matt did not try to up sell, which is rare. Nothing but good things to say here, I will be back. read more

My car had been slowly bleeding to death for some time now and everywhere I took it, the guys couldn't seem to track down just where it was coming from. Came across a post on Facebook for a shop in Murrieta so I figured we'll give it another shot. So I took my baby to Temecula Valley Import and even though I drive an American car, Matt got it up on the lift to see what's what and even though it took a couple of days, was able to locate the issue and got me all fixed up! Super grateful for all of the time and energy put into getting my car back to normal and no more leaking all over the the place! read more
