I'm still reeling from my terrible experience at Bob Smith Calabasas, but thankfully, I've found a trustworthy BMW mechanics at Bimmers Clinic. The contrast between the two experiences couldn't be more stark. While Bob Smith calabasas service advisor were more like "salespeople" horrible communications through text, emails when you call hold times, aggressive sales tactics, and sent me a baffling video of repairs on a different car, (not mine)! Bimmers Clinic was a model of efficiency and professionalism. When I brought my car in for service, the place looks clean, there were already many cars at Bimmers Clinic but seemed well organized as each technician takes certain cars to work on. Fred and his team were a joy to work with, keeping me informed every step of the way and treating me with courtesy and respect. When they discovered a rat had been living in my engine, causing damage, I was shocked - but also impressed by their diligence and expertise. It is astonishing that BOBSMITH had missed this issue just a week prior. Fred honored the price that he quoted and spent extra time cleaning around where the rats had lived for the past couple of months also, kept me updated by sending me a video of the problem and repairs that is done . It's clear that Fred and his team are dedicated to providing exceptional service and workmanship, and I'm grateful to have found them. I will tell all my friends to visit this shop.

Had an enjoyable experience when it comes to getting a not-so-enjoyable task done, aka an oil change lol. Fred was able to take me in on the same day and was nice to offer cold beverages and even took the time to give me a tour of what was under my car! The prices are affordable and the service and techs are amazing. What more could you ask for? I'll tell you! He even topped the day off with a free car wash. Best oil change day birthday gift ever. Thank you Bimmers Clinic!

See all

I had a great experience with this mechanic shop. The staff was professional, honest, and really…read moreknew what they were doing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable service.

BEWARE - DO NOT GO HERE Vincent (owner) is a CROOK. I…read morebrought my car in because the electric power steering failed. It took him over two weeks to "diagnose" and attempt repairs. During that time, he replaced multiple parts that didn't fix the issue, then removed them, returned them to the manufacturer, and reinstalled the old ones (which has now caused the blind spot monitor sensor to fail). After more than two weeks without my vehicle, he finally told me the power steering was repaired. When I picked up my car, I was charged over $1,200. Before I left, he gave the usual speech about wanting customers to be satisfied and told me to bring the car back if anything was wrong. As soon as I turned the car on, warning lights started appearing. He told me they would reset themselves. Shortly after, I realized I could no longer control the windows from the driver's side, the blind spot monitoring sensor wasn't working, and several other issues had appeared, none of which existed before I brought the car in. I called him and returned the vehicle. He refused to take responsibility for the new problems that occurred while my car was in his possession. He claimed the car already had these errors, which is completely FALSE. He even said he has video footage to prove my windows didn't work (which his report from 2/14 clearly states otherwise)--unbelievable. Although he fixed one issue, several others were created in the process. Instead of addressing the damage, he accused me of "looking for someone to blame" and "trying to come up on him." He even told me I could sue him if I wanted to. All I want is for him to fix the other issues HE created. I requested a refund so I could take my vehicle to a qualified professional to have it properly repaired. He refused and insisted he had nothing to do with the additional problems. His own report reflects that my windows and blind spot monitor were working when the car was dropped off on 2/14. At that point, I knew he was a crook and was not going to fix any of the issues he created. Vincent, there is no need to respond by claiming I am lying or that my car arrived with all of these issues--it did NOT, and your own report reflects that. Based on other reviews here (which I truly wish I had seen before bringing my car in), this seems to be a pattern. Now my car is full of errors that will cost me a fortune to fix. I feel like a complete fool for taking my car here and dealing with this dishonest crook.

It's nice to find a Honest Auto Repair shop and these guys are. They listen to my complaints and…read moregave me a honest estimate to diagnose the issue and kept me informed on how the repairs on the car were going. They were able to repair my car in a timely manner and have been happy with the repairs. Their shop is really clean and they took care of my car and gave it back to me cleaner than I brought it to them. Their prices are very competitive and a good value.

I'm updating this review because the business response is misleading…read more I have a voicemail from Steve clearly stating that they did not want to get involved with my vehicle because another shop had already worked on it and he did not want me to possibly "get upset at them too." That was the exact reasoning given. This was not about warranty. It was not about saving me money. I was fully prepared to pay for an inspection or any necessary correction. I was simply asking for a professional second opinion. If a shop refuses work because they're concerned a customer might "get upset," that raises serious questions about confidence in their own work. A reputable shop stands behind its skills and diagnoses issues regardless of who previously touched the vehicle. Changing the explanation publicly after the fact does not reflect well. I stand by what I said. I had a very disappointing experience at Automotive Instincts in Northridge. I called and spoke with Steve about looking at my car after another shop had worked on it, and he basically told me they didn't want to touch it because another shop already did the work. His reasoning was that he didn't want me to "get upset at them too." That makes absolutely no sense. As a customer, I'm simply looking for a professional second opinion or proper correction if something wasn't done right. Refusing to even inspect the vehicle just because another shop previously worked on it feels unprofessional and dismissive. Cars get worked on by multiple shops all the time -- that's normal. Turning someone away out of fear of a bad review instead of standing behind your own skills says a lot. Very disappointing customer service. I expected more professionalism and confidence from a shop with such high ratings.
