Vahe has serviced my mothers 1999 BMW 3 series for almost 20 years. During this time I have found Mr Vahe to be hard working, honest and practical enough to tell you " don't worry about that" when expensive repairs are not necessary. He is always busy yet manages his customer load well and listens to his customers. Mr. Vahe is the face of American immigration success. Don't hesitate to trust him with your automotive repair needs. read more

Vahe's BMW - Auto Repair Near Me - Winnetka, California

See all

I took my bmw here for oil change and general maintenance needs. I was expecting an over $1000 estimate of absurd unnecessary repairs. The Owner Vache is honest, fair, reasonable pricing and knowledgeable. I was shocked with his honesty and pricing, $75 for an oil change is unheard of now a days. I can't recommend this place enough and I definitely will be returning. Thanks Vahe!!! read more

I took my X1 for a thermostat replace and the service was great. They were able to work with the mechanical protection insurance smoothly.

Vahe's knows his BMW. If you have a Beamer , this is where you need to take your car for service.

Extremely knowledgeable with BMWs. Complete transparency regarding your vehicle. Top-notch customer service. Highly recommended.

Luigi is the man, I had a whole list of problems, he came in and fixed it all at half the price and a better job then my old mechanic! Great guy read more

Thank you Luigi and Maria for providing excellent service with care, honesty, and professionalism. I truly appreciated. Mr. Vahe assured me when he sold his shop that Luigi was a very honest person and he's indeed. He serviced my BMW and replaced needed parts at very reasonable cost. My BMW drives great. I am honored that I met a great family and a kind mechanic you want to have working on your car. Thank you again read more

One word to describe the work and honesty of this BMW specialist, EXCELLENT!!! Thank God there is still good and honest mechanic that exist in this world and that is VAHE'S BMW. read more

Came in because of my mistake regarding my BMW's battery. Left within 5 minutes, and he asked for NO MONEY for wasting his time. Fixed my problem and sent me on my way. Vahe is awesome!! read more

I had a rattling noise for two months in my car. The BMW dealership said they could not hear it. I found by on yelp and figured I would stop by and see if they can figure it out. He was very professional and courteous, lifted my car up probably spent 45 minutes investigating and looking around and was able to pinpoint exactly where the rattling was coming from; referred me to a muffler specialist and did not charge me a penny for his time. I will definitely recommend him to others as most mechanics would've charge me minimum $100 for this. Thanks Vahe your one of the good guys. read more

I am SO grateful to have found Vahe. Thank you for all of your reviews! This man is the real deal, he's honest. How hard is that to find in the automotive industry? I looked him up and took my car in after Bob Smith BMW just finished telling me that I needed all new brakes, all new tires, and a new battery...all to the tune of some $2500?? Anyway, I took my car to Vahe, and first thing he asks me is "are the sensors on?" And we all know the BMW sensors ARE sensitive. He checked them out, and he's like - you got at least a couple thousand miles on them. I knew I found my guy right there. I asked him about the battery, and he said "just go to autozone, get the battery, and I'll install it for you." Bob Smith wanted to charge me $500 for the battery install. I went to autozone, paid like $225 with tax, and Vahe installed it for $40!!! Like really?!?! Where do you find people like that anymore?! The man has clearly been doing this forever, and he's still in the game. You wanna save some real money (I saved half) and have someone who knows their stuff take care of your baby? Go to Vahe. read more

$105 oil change? Vahe used to charge $65. SMH. After leaving the shop, realized they didn't cancel the oil change light on my dash. Went back. Was told by Luigi, "can't cancel oil change dash light coz there's other dash lights". Hmmm, Vahe was able to cancel them before with no issues. I looked it up on YouTube and showed it to "Luigi". He said, "I already did, doesn't work". I ask him to try again following the YouTube instructions... and guess what? It worked! Oil change dash light is gone! Luigi got out of the car and walked away looking perturbed. Haha, did I hurt his feelings? So, 2 things. First, he shouldn't have let me leave without telling me that he couldn't cancel the dash light. Maybe he thinks I'm stupid and won't notice. Bad service. Second, the guy is incompetent. Part of his job is to make sure things are done right. Will I trust someone incompetent to work on my car again knowing he doesn't care? I don't think so. I know 6 other people who "used" (they won't now!) to come to Vahe. Because Vahe was an honest, caring and kind person. We will surely miss Vahe. May he rest in peace. read more

Hands down the most efficient, fair, honest and talented mechanic in the area. There's nobody better to bring your BMW to for 100% great service. Thank you, Vahe! read more

I was in need of a new BMW shop somewhere close to home. I did some research online and ran into Vahe's BMW. I can honestly say I made the best decision. Vahe is easy going guy and gets the job done with no other issues. That is what we all need. This is my go to BMW shop now. Thank you Vahe and the staff. read more

People, people, if you've got to drive the product of Bavaria, Vahe is your guy. No kidding. Sure, it's on one of those stretches of Winnetka. There's no Kuerig in the lobby. There's no lobby. My 2011 328i just went out of "free service." I called Vahe because I needed new brake rotors. I also called Bob Smith and Bavarian Motor Works. He was $300 cheaper than one and $200 cheaper than the other. (You can sort out which one was which). He checked with me twice to make sure the car wasn't still in "free service" zone. Then he checked the brakes and discovered I still had life on them. (I neglected to tell him I knew it was the rotors because it shimmied under braking). Let's take a moment. He tried THREE times to not do the work. When he did it, it was cheaper. By a lot. He's been there 31 years. When he asked me how I found him, I said yelp. He smiled and said, "oh, you're one of those." They may be expensive, the werks of Bavaria. But why spend more so you can have a donut and coffee while you wait? There's a 7-11 right up the street. (It is still Winnetka, after all). Fellow yelpers, take your BMW to Vahe. read more

He is the BEST and most honest mechanic!!! I swear by him! He does not charge what you think it should cost, which is always a pleasant surprise! He will tell me honestly if something needs to get changed and when it should get worked on. And do not think I drive a BMW, I drive a Honda Civic. I started going there because my parents owned a BMW a while ago and he said he works on all cars, he just specializes in Beemers. Please go to him if you need work done on your car, from oil changes to major work. I have a lot of stuff done there and my car is a happy camper!! read more

Since, my warranty expired I have been shopping for an independent BMW service shop. It happened that my lowbeam went out so took the opportunity to do my research. Bob Smith, Calabasas wanted $125, Bavarian Workshop, West Hills wanted $225 claiming it was xenon. Vahe BMW popped the hood open, remove the bulb, told me it wasn't xenon and charged me $30 for the bulb and resetting of my engine oil light. Guess where I'm going to service my BMW from now on. I was chatting to another Vahe's customer who said that he'd sell his BMW if Vahe retires. read more

I just left Vahe's shop and sat down at my office and wanted to post while still fresh in my mind. I needed a new mechanic since I always felt the guy I've been going to was taking me to the cleaners. I turned to Yelp to find a solution. I stumbled across Vahe's Yelp page and was astonished to find such overwhelmingly positive reviews. Finding a mechanic that you feel comfortable with these days is proving harder and harder and I couldn't be happier with the service I got today. I needed a simple oil change and a little steering wheel shaking problem fixed. Dropped of the car at 8am and was surprised to get a call at 11am telling me the car is ready. Vahe told me that the steering shaking is probably bad rotors. Instead of trying to sell me on some new ones and up-selling the brake pad, he told me to keep driving it if I can deal with a little shake in the wheel. He said once the brakes are close to needing replacement he'll take care of it all. This way he can save me some labor costs now.!!!! A mechanic not selling parts and labor?? Unheard of?!?!? Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised at his honesty and integrity. You can tell he is a good man and a great mechanic. I'll be taking my car and recommending this place to every BMW owner I know as long as I keep driving. Thank you Vahe!!! read more

I called Vahe after seeing all the five star reviews, and told him why I called and that I was looking for a good BMW mechanic. He told me he writes them all himself. I liked him already, for his sense of humor. Brought my car in, and he serviced it very much to my liking. He never tried to upsell me anything, and actually talked me out of some frivolous choices. I will be bringing my car back to him! read more

The most honest mechanic I've ever met! He does a great job and is very honest. I use to dread taking my car to the dealer for service, now that I've gone to Vahe, I don't freak out as much. He does everything at a fraction of the cost of what the dealership charges. His specialty are bimmers, but I've seen other cars in his lot. btw: call ahead for an appointment as he can get pretty busy and he closes early on Sat. read more

If you want an honest mechanic, this is your place. Known him personally for decades, and usually take any cars that have trouble in the family to him. Why? He doesnt rip you off Doesnt make you buy unnecessary things or repairs Gives you options. The reviews here are dead on. And its not just beamers you can take any foreign car. Just call maybe even American not sure as I have never owned/leased one (I know shame on me) read more

Phenomenal service at a fantastically reasonable price. I believe one of last honest places around. Highly recommended.

I researched Yelp after losing contact with my usual go to BMW repair guy. (His shop closed) Due to the rampant shadiness in auto repair, I was seriously stressed when I was told by my girl that my 07 325i had lost power and almost stalled when she was driving home. Knowing how temperamental bmw's can be when they're not feeling well, I immediately called AAA and had it towed home. This was a Sunday night. I contacted Vahe 1st thing in the AM on Monday, and had the ride towed to his shop with in the hour. Vahe was busy but very nice and assured me that he would find out the issue and call me. Cut to 2pm same day; Vahe calls me and tells me that one of the spark plugs that was replaced about 6 months ago, was, 1. The wrong spark plug for my model, 2. It was made to fit by a Mickey Mouse adjustment from the last mechanic. (Remember the car was loosing power on the road and almost stalled.) Vahe could have told me anything! But he told me the truth! And that truth was only a $100 fix! I was so impressed by his honesty and his customer service that I requested him to change the oil, fluids and air filter. Because I had instant trust! I also have a Range Rover that needs service soon, Vahe recommended the shop next to him because Vahe rents the space to them and he said he would only rent to honest people! I found my new guy! :) read more

Honest businessman that works hard and takes care of his customers. He's very straightforward with what needs to be done and lets you know what else you should keep an eye on. Definitely recommend if your BMW needs some maintenance. read more

Vahe is the best mechanic I have ever met. He always tells you what you need and what you don't need it. The most honest mechanic , never charge you extra. read more

Vahe was amazing ethical and knowledgeable he is one of the few people in this industry with a sense of integrity I will recommend all and anyone who has a BMW to give him a call. # Very happy with his professionalism and service. 6 stars read more

Vahe is the best! His quality of work and reasonable prices has made me a loyal customer. He's very knowledgable and explains everything that he does. Honesty is the best policy and that's exactly what you get w/ Vahe. I've been taking my BMW here for many years and I never question his work because I trust him. You're in good hands and I'm happy my family referred me here. read more

Enough said by other reviews. It is rare to find a truly 5-star rating auto shop none of the good reviews is fake. It looks fishy not find a single bad review to Vahe, but he's just that honest and great! He won't do any work that is not necessary, and won't charge you a fortune for the service like the dealers. You won't find many owners/mechanics that are knowledgeable and have good ethics these days. read more

Amazing! That is all I have to say. My car was with three other mechanics before I came to Vahe. There was a complicated elictrical short triggering the SES light. Vahe and his electrician spent hours finding the short and repairing it. I also had asked him about my drive belt and idler tensioner as there was a minor squeeling sound. Vahe told me it wasn't necessary to fix yet. A rare breed, honest and ethical mechanics are hard to come by these days. The amount of work he put in to find the electrical short and to only charge me $125 for everything, absolutely incredible! I am a new customer as long as I have my BMW. Thank you Vahe! read more

You can't find a better person to fix your BMW and know that it's going to be fixed right. I recommend Vahe to everybody that owns a BMW.

My E36 has a lifter, maybe exhaust noise so I stopped at Vahe's to have him check it for me. He was a bit busy but took the time to listen to my car. He's going on vacation so he told me to bring it back after he comes back. But he is so honest that he told me the noise was a probably a lose spark plug and it was not big thing. Sonó came home and sure it was lose spark plugs. I'm in great gratitude to you Vahe. Thank you so much. See you soon for service. read more

Great guy, most honest mechanic I've ever dealt with. Would recommend to anyone.
