After taking my Audi to three different shops that couldn't correctly diagnose the issue, I finally found Beach House Imports. Ty and his team quickly identified that the problem was my oil filter housing and got it fixed the right way. They were professional, honest, incredibly knowledgeable, and worked much faster than I expected. Not only did they solve a problem that other shops couldn't, but they also saved me a significant amount of money by diagnosing it correctly the first time. It's hard to find mechanics you can truly trust, especially for European cars, but these guys are the real experts. I couldn't be happier with the service I received, and Beach House Imports has earned a lifelong customer for my Audi. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, skilled, and reliable service. read more

I just want to thank Tim and the whole beach house import staff. They were extremely knowledgeable. I went in with a transmission malfunction and over heating. When I was given a 10k-15k estimate I freaked out. They were able to find the issue that only ran about 2k. And my Audi S5 has been running perfectly ever since. I would definitely recommend this shop for all your Audi needs. Thanks again! read more

Beach House Imports - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I brought my 2023 Audi S5 in today for its 20k/2-year service today and was very pleased with the entire process. My car is a lease and I am highly paranoid about getting my scheduled service intervals done to Audi's specs, as to avoid any issue upon lease return. After being quoted a crazy amount by Audi (as expected), I spent hours doing research on independent service centers and after calling around 8-10 different places, I ultimately decided to go with Beach House Imports. Ty and the team were amazing, highly communicative, I really felt good about the entire process. No unnecessary upselling, none of the usual BS. They did everything to Audi's specifications (and more), even cleaning my car both inside and out. Beach House Imports quoted me over the phone, and my final invoice was not a penny more. Audi had quoted me over double. I am very picky and I can tell you that this place is an honest business, clearly relying on word of mouth and repeat customers rather than the usual nickel and diming. I will be a repeat customer, I highly recommend them. read more

Contacted Ty originally about replacing brake pads and rotors for my 2016 Audi Q5 3.0L. He gave me an estimate over the phone which was 30%-40% less than the dealership. A week later, I brought the vehicle by their shop because of a coolant issue. I met both Ty and Tim for the first time. Tim took the car back fixed the coolant issue while Ty explained what they can do about the squealing brakes (pads are 50% plus). Tim came back, handed me the keys and said no charge. In an industry that is not known necessarily for honest straight-forward people, Tim and Ty were exactly that! Thank you! They will be our go-to guys for both of our Audi's!!!! read more

i will ALWAYS come here to have my VW Tiguan serviced. just picked up my car yesterday from getting a full service oil change and it runs great! Ty and his team do the best work !! 5 stars !! read more

So glad I found these guys for my Audi. Dealership had me feeling like I was in a scam documentary. Ty was the real MVP. Their prices were like 30% less than the dealer, and the service? Fast, honest, and didn't come with any mystery fees. 10/10 would escape the dealership again. read more

If you have an Audi out of warranty, this your place. I've been coming here for years, these guys are fair and fast.

I've been coming here for years and have always had excellent results (B8.5 S5 in case in matters). Fortunately, I've never had anything serious but I have confidence in Tim, Ty, and the rest of the team should that happen. read more

I am so glad I found Beach House Imports to work on my VW Passat! They are phenomenal! I've been going there for a year now and it was the best decision I made. Ty and his team always deliver the best work and the smoothest experience. The previous shop I went to could not figure out why my front end was rattling after they had installed new front-end shock/strutts system. Took my car to Beach House Imports and they immediately identified the problem and fixed it right away. Came out of there relieved that the noise and possible serious issue was taken cared of. Just yesterday, they worked on my back brakes, oil change and back signal lights and again they were outstanding ! If you have a VW or Audi and you are not taking your vehicle to this shop, I feel sorry for you - hahaha. Great job Ty! read more

Great place to bring your Audi. Prices are far better than the dealership and they gave me a quote before doing any work. They gave me options and were clear about what work needed to be done and what could wait. Plus they did a far superior job of cleaning my car, inside and out, including the tires! Would highly recommend. read more

Solid shop for sure. Clean, organized, and excellent communication. Will get my Q8 serviced here for sure going forward.

Great experience with beach house imports- very fast and informing along the process of the repair. Honest- plastic part broke while repair was being done and they replaced no charge. Washed my car too. Very stoked! read more

This is a great shop to get your Audi or Volkswagen fixed. "Ty" gave me excellent service and fixed the brakes on my Audi A6 for a fair price and also repaired my damaged screen in the center console which another mechanic couldn't fix without a full replacement. I would strongly recommend taking your car here if you reside in the Orange County Area. read more

Ty was great to work with from start to finish. I just had the first lube maintenance service performed on a used Audi Q5 I recently purchased. Ty explained services provided and estimate for services expected when I arrived. Final price was 1/3 less than the original quote. I would highly recommend this professional service location for any Audi or VW needs. read more

My 2007 Audi S6 V10 started missing and none of the mechanics locally could figure it out. I heard from a friend to try Beach City in Costa Mesa because they are Audi specialists and familiar with my car. I brought it in and Tim was very knowledgeable and was able to diagnose and fix it. Worth the extra drive to bring it to someone that really knows Audi. read more

Another positive review. After reading all of the frustrations shared in the Audi forum online regarding the ACC warning, which takes away your cruise control and auto braking feature. After trying all of the "quick fix" recommendations took into Beach Imports, where once again, they diagnosed and repaired my vehicle all in a day! Thanks read more

Tim and Ty and the mates are great. 22 year old Audi - back on the road after 3 years. As well as I know what she needs, Tim knows these. Cheers! read more

Ty is always helpful, explains processes with clarity and insight, and doesn't waste time. Also goes out of his way to throw in freebies to clients. Very reasonable pricing.

I've brought several VWs here over the years. Always friendly, knowledgeable and a fair price. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Great team and service! read more

I highly recommend Beach House Imports! My VW Jetta was driving very jerky when accelerating and decelerating, and with over 130K miles on it and a check engine light on, it was time for some maintenance to pass my smog. I left my car with Ty for a diagnostic test and he called me back later that same day to give me an update and estimate. The pricing was very reasonable for all the maintenance I had to catch up on and the estimate was spot-on, no surprises after working on the car. They were able to get my car repaired and ready for pick up by the next day! My 2012 Jetta is now running smoother and better than ever, just like new. They even invited me to come back after a weekend of driving after the repair for a free scan to ensure I was good to go for my smog. Definitely give these guys a call as they are very professional, efficient, and specialize and certified for VW & Audi. Oh and way better prices than the dealerships! read more

Shout out to Tim & Ty Beach House Imports saved the day!!! I can't say enough good things about my recent experience. I will never go anywhere else. After getting a $2800 quote at another service provider we took the car to Beach House. They fixed the car in record time, and for FAR LESS then $2,800. Couldn't be happier!! read more

I purchased a 2010 S6 that needed major work. I took it Beach House for a full inspection. Tim was honest, up front, and he really cares! He went through my car from head to toe. He itemized the necessary repairs. He explained the repairs clearly & took the time to fix ONLY what was necessary & understood my budget was tight... Ty & Tim helped me complete a major engine job on my car that would have been over $20K if I took it to Audi dealer. With their patience and help I was able to get almost a completely rebuilt motor; and also replaced two rear lights, one front running light & a total front headlamp assembly. The engine in a 2010 S6 is a V-10 and it is a fine tuned machine; very difficult & time consuming to work on. Tim & Ty gave me a maintenance schedule to follow, and a year later with only regular oil changes my car is still purring like a kitten. 150K miles & it drives like new! Tim & Ty know their stuff. They are honest & trustworthy! This is a very rare quality in todays auto repair world. Highly Recommend Beach House Imports! 10 Star Rating! ********** Thank you, Brian Hickey read more

See all

Way over inflated pricing. My driver side headlight went out. I took it to Beach House Imports after inspecting Audi A6 they said that the ballast was defective and needed to be replaced. They charged me $850. Tim Bunning told me it was a big deal and they had to pull the bumper off. The part was $350 and the balance was labor because it was a big deal. The light worked for 6 days when it went out again instead of taking responsibility they said it's probably your headlight is now bad after looking at it they said yes we think it's going to be your headlight. I argued for a bit saying how could that possibly happen 6 days later it's now another part with the exact same symptom. He told me to expect it to be around $1,500 for the new light. At this point I had absolutely no confidence that I was not going to be taken advantage of further so I took it someplace else. They quickly diagnosed it as a bad ballast. They told me that it's not a big job and they gave me a total price of $290. I came back two days later after they received the part. I watched them do most of the job it was incredibly straight forward. I guess Beach House Imports has to make it seem like it's a big deal so they can squeeze as much money as they can out of their customers. I suppose they're more interested in getting a one time cash winfall then building a strong loyal customer base. Beach House Imports is everything I hate about mechanics. read more

Came here to get my headlamps replaced on my VW - easy in and easy out. I didn't schedule an appt - called the week before, the guy on the phone quoted $40. When I came in, the person I spoke to (forgot his name since I'm writing this a few days later) actually offered to replace both headlamps for $50 - I'm thinking I've already saved 50% off what a dealer would charge for labor costs. Not only was the wait short and service prompt, but BHI also has free wifi as well, and a comfy lounge. Definitely plan to come back here when its time for my service intervals. read more

They are definitely as good as it gets!! Ty and Tim - there is no better, honest couple of repair guys in Newport Beach! I started to take my 2008 Audi there when I worked in Irvine. First time I had problems, took my car to Audi Newport - well its a dealership and it's in Newport so...VERY pricey! I found BHI and they were a godsend! I miss these guys especially since I have new repairs that need to be done but now I'm in the Southbay and 45 miles away! If they provided loaners you know I would be there in a heartbeat! Don't hesitate, if you need repairs in OC, these are the most honest guys I've ever met! Miss you guys! read more

Super helpful and transparent! Ty was awesome both times I went in with a check engine light. He kept me updated on what pricing was going to be and what work was necessary. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a fair and honest VW/Audi mechanic! read more

Ty and his crew are awesome! 5 stars+. Super accommodating and incredible service! Trustworthy and on point! Thank you so much for a consistently exceptional experience every time. read more

Pulled in for a lock but issue, they were super busy, still took time to help us! Did not charge us and gave us a lug nut free of charge!! Highly recommend!!! read more

My family owned one A4 and two Q5. Audi is a great brand, however it comes with some very expensive and difficult repair issues. 10 years ago, our A4 had continuous variable transmission issue. Tim helped me to replace new one at a very reasonable price, far below dealer's cost. Today, Tim did again, our 2012 Q5 had timing chain problem which is extremely labor intensive and expensive to replace. Tim and his team took great patience, identified several convoluted issues and solve extremely technical problem. Even better the price Tim charged is far below dealer's. I dealt with Tim almost 15 years. Tim never disappointed me once. I strongly recommend Beach House Imports for quality service at reasonable price. You are in good hands ! read more

Tim and Ty are running a first class shop. I have been bring my car to these guys for 10 years. If you are looking for a reliable and honest repair shop. this is the place. read more

The only place to bring your Audi in our case or VW. That is all they work on. Beat the dealer by a mile. Work was done promptly, old parts were saved and shown and offered to us. Great value. experts. We have two Audis and don't live very close. Worth the effort as they know these cars. read more

Thank goodness for Auto Club Premier with unlimited miles on towing. I live 60+ miles away but wouldn't trust my babies (TT and a Jetta) with anyone else. Tim & Ty are the best when it comes to diagnosing and repairing at a fair price. read more

I've had Tim working on my B5 S4 for years and he's done a great job of keeping it in shape. Found BHI after I became fed up with Commonwealth Audi and have been happy ever since. Tim is a straight shooter and I'd consider BHI a tuner friendly establishment. I recommend BHI to everyone I know who has an Audi / VW. Big Thumbs Up! read more

Great service, Mike was extremely helpful in explaining what my car needed and what he could do. All the other companies told me I would have to wait a week for a special part to come in, but he took a closer look into things for me and discovered something that everyone else overlooked! My car was ready the next day, super happy I went here. read more

I called about programming a 3rd party key fob and a man that answered the phone said that an actual VW key is recommended so that makes sense. BUT the programming cost the exact amount as the actual dealership so i realized that and said it and he said no not really and just stopped and said ok bye. So really if he was trying to tell me it was cheaper somehow, then why did he say bye??? He was very quick at the end when I brought up the dealership but I was just trying to see my best option.. I can tell who I spoke to was not good at his costumer service but I guess i do want information on an issue when I call.. I was just looking for euro places that programmed key fobs, not a stinky attitude when this is already an issue. read more

I HIGHLY recommend Beach House Imports! I have been having car trouble for over a year and have taken my car to several other shops that were never able to solve the problem. Beach House Imports figured out exactly what the problem was and fixed it right away. My car has been running perfectly ever since. I am beyond grateful to have found this awesome auto repair shop. I will forever only take my car here. Not only is this place the best for fixing your car, but the staff here is amazing!! Every time I have brought my car in they keep me updated throughout every step of the repair process and are all so beyond nice. THANK YOU Beach House Imports!!! Y'all are the best!! :) read more

My car didn't pass smog so I took it to them to figure it out. They took care of the situation and gave me the right advice and helped me do what I needed to do to pass. Steve really helped me out and told me the truth without trying to sell me work that I didn't need. They are a fun group of guys who appear to love what they do and make customers feel welcome and cared for. I am so grateful I crossed paths with this company. The really care about helping people first, everything else second. I highly recommend Beach House Imports. Saved me a ton of money and headache. read more

I put an unprogrammed key in the ignition of my 2006 Passat by mistake. "IMMOBILIZER ACTIVE" started flashing on the instrument panel--and the key wouldn't come out! I googled the problem and couldn't find a solution. I called 3 VW dealers but couldn't get a live person. I called 2 independent VW shops. They both made suggestions but weren't sure they'd work. The key wouldn't come out. I called Beach House Imports since they were the nearest shop, and I figured I'd have to be towed. UGH. Ben answered the phone and said, "Put your foot on the brake, push the button twice on the transmission selector lever and you should be able to pull the key out." The key came out, the right one popped in...and the car started! Then Ben said if I want the new key programmed, they can do it. I'll be by this week. Thanks, Ben. Now I know why you have so many 5 Star reviews. read more

Tim took great care of me and my car. Great communication, service and under promised and overdelivered. Top notch quality establishment.
