I'm not very knowledgeable about auto mechanics and intend to seek help from a trustworthy and nearby place. I have an old Mercedes (C230, 2004, 43k miles) with the "Check engine" light on. Since it's primarily used for dropping off and picking up my son, I decided to seek help immediately. Initially, I chose a Euro Car Doctor closest to my place, but they turned me down. They wasted my time and emotions by giving me no hope and insisting that my car's engine harness part must be replaced. They even claimed that the part couldn't be found anywhere in the country. I was shocked but still had little hope, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and started a project. I sent messages out on Yelp asking if any shop could help, and Mike responded! I was still skeptical because I felt that what Euro Car Doctor had warned me about could be true. However, I decided to go the fair route. I disclosed all my concerns to Mike, and he simply responded in a firm tone that his team could help. I visited BMB RhineTrade, feeling scared and uncertain. But I saw some positive signs. The place was packed, which made me think that it might take weeks for my car to be worked on. However, everything was incredibly straightforward and easy. It was almost as if he read my mind. He met with me, looked through the diagnostic report found by Euro Car Doctor, offered a loaner, and got back to me within hours with a full repair report and an approximate cost. To my surprise, my car didn't need an engine harness replacement after all. And it was fixed within 2 days! Other than that, Mike was patient and let us ask questions. He convinced us from the point that I was desperate to get rid of my old Mercedes because I thought it couldn't be repaired to the point where I realized that my car is worth maintaining and still has a long life ahead of it! Thank you, Mike and BMB Rhinetrade team, for helping me. I know I had to pay for your service, but I still want to send my appreciation note. Your service not only exceeded our expectations, but what you've done should be learned by other services all around. There are so many ways to communicate with your peers and clients to provide solutions or let them leave feeling regretful. I am more than delighted and have fallen in love with my car all over again! read more

I needed a quick Pre-Purchase Inspection and booking online was incredibly easy. When I called the next morning to confirm, the staff was already fully briefed on my request. They were highly communicative and did an incredibly THOROUGH job, uncovering over $7,000 worth of hidden repairs on a car I was about to buy for $12,400. The comprehensive digital report they texted was remarkably detailed yet very easy to read and understand. The service was only $250, which is on the lower end compared to other quotes I found. Payment was also handled seamlessly via a link. I am so thankful for their expertise and honesty; if I buy a German vehicle in the future, BMB Rhinetrade will absolutely be my go-to maintenance shop! read more

BMB Rhinetrade Auto Repair & Service is a great shop! Mike Saad, the owner, is friendly, honest, and truly cares about his customers. The technicians are knowledgeable, professional, and get the job done quickly and right. I've found them to be dependable and trustworthy every time. Highly recommend Mike and his team! read more

Great work cheapest price out of everybody that contacted me. My second time with them and I would go back.

I reached out to most of the auto sound shops in the area and BMB was the most knowledgeable and honest when explaining my specific Audi issues. I had constant misfires, and CJ was able to walk me through the different possible causes, rather than just diving right in to changing the spark plugs/coils. This team definitely cares about their customers, rather than just getting a sale. Mike also helped me with getting my appointment set up, and the quotes were better than most other shops in the area. I highly recommend BMB for all of your car needs, and make sure to ask for CJ or Mike! read more

Very happy with Mike @ BMB Rhinetrade. Took my son's Honda Civic in to have the rear bumper replaced on Monday and had it back on Wednesday. Extremely accommodating and saved some money on the car rental because we were able to return the rental two days early. Highly recommended! read more

Went in for the regular 60k trans flush for my 2006 bmw Z4 at good price. Interior noise has reduced dramatically. Driving is more bearable now. They did a great job! Will definitely make them my main shop for my bimmer. read more

I am very happy with my results! I don't usually leave reviews but felt like Michael deserved one for going above and beyond in his services. I had to pay out of pocket for a pretty costly accident and he quoted me 40% lower than the dealership. Not only did his team complete the service within a very short time constraint, but they went above and beyond to fix other damages that weren't part of the original quote. I would definitely recommend BMB to anyone looking for a trustworthy and affordable option. Thank you Michael and amazing team!!! read more

I recently moved to SoCal and needed a new mechanic for my late-model BMW. After checking Yelp, I ended up at BMB and immediately knew I was in the right place. The owner greeted me, clearly a true car guy and BMW expert. He instantly listed the common issues for my car's age and mileage, all of which matched my experience. I asked for an oil change and a diagnosis of another issue. He spotted the problem on the spot (free of charge) and fit me in for the oil change while we talked. He was transparent about pricing showing me parts costs and he walked me through the time and labor piece. Although I was not shopping based on price, I wanted a mechanic that will take care of my car so I can be at ease about driving around. So there could be cheaper options but with regard to finding a reliable shop, this is it. I highly recommend BMB. read more

Efficient, Prompt response, great work and experienced group ! I'm 77 years old and this is the best Auto Repair shop I've ever used !

Superb service and transparency, highly recommended, its a bit expensive but they did a much better job than other garages so worth the investment read more

First time bringing in my car, newer Audi - needed its first inspection. I called in first before bringing it in, Mike answered and assisted me through the whole process. Gave an estimate and was ready to take my car in that moment. They provide a link with all details and pictures associated to whatever they find and/or any services needed. Very clear and friendly communication. I appreciate them specializing in German vehicles, Felt comfortable and trustworthy. Will be returning. read more

Genuinely mike is a car whisperer because every-time I can't fix something or there's an issue. He fixes it like he's taking his next breath. No exaggeration. I've gone to him for a while now, and anytime I've had an issue even if it's abrupt he's nice enough to take my car in or help me. Which I'm super grateful for. Today I had an emergency situation where my door wouldn't close and bam, he just fixes it. I think my car likes him more than me. In all seriousness though, he clearly cares about making sure a solution is made. Thank you Mike! I'm super grateful to you as you lifted a weight off of my shoulders. read more

I had an excellent experience with BMB Rhinetrade and would highly recommend them. I brought them my BMW after an accident that caused significant damage to the front end and undercarriage. This wasn't a simple cosmetic repair, the car needed suspension work, underbody and exhaust repairs, mechanical work, bodywork, paint, and a number of other items addressed. I had already invested a lot into this vehicle over the years, so it was important to me to find a shop that would take the time to properly evaluate it rather than immediately write it off. The team at BMB Rhinetrade worked through the issues, kept me informed about what they found, and helped me understand what actually needed to be repaired and got the car back into excellent condition. I was also very impressed with their operations and how well they integrate information technology into their process. From the initial quote and clear explanation of findings and required repairs, to their communication systems, everything felt organized and efficient. Their billing and payment process was fully automated and made everything very simple and convenient to complete. The workmanship and attention to detail were excellent, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. More importantly, I felt like I was dealing with people I could trust throughout the process. After everything this BMW has been through, seeing it restored and back on the road made the investment worthwhile. A big thank you to the entire BMB Rhinetrade team specially, Mike and Alexis for the effort they put into it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a shop that will take the time to diagnose the problem, do quality work for a fair price, and stand behind what they do. read more

Mike is a nice guy, a scholar and a gentleman...but more importantly he KNOWS how to make your car look like it did before. Its literally as if nothing ever happened to my car! Almost better than a time machine... I was very impressed Highly recommended! read more

Michael is awesome! Good guy and great service. Enjoyed having his team work on my E550.

The owner and employees of BMB Rhinetrade were so responsive, informative and did great work!!! Everything was explained to me so I could make an informed decision. Unlike the dealership, where you just get a list of items with no way of knowing what really needs to be done. I wish I had found them earlier to service our BMWs. Pricing is also so much lower than the dealership. Thanks to BMB Rhinetrade!!! read more

Very grateful BMB was able to help me out with an engine repair. They got me in on short notice and were transparent every step of the way. I truly appreciate their integrity and professionalism. Highly recommend and will be coming back for years to come! read more

Have great service, my guy Mike is chill and dope personality. Good vibes and shop is super close to home for me. Took it in because had like blue smoke coming from exhaust, and they were able to see that it was from my turbo which meant I needed a whole new turbo setup as well as valve cover since previous shop ordered a OEM but not from dealership :( They were pretty fast with everything and got my car back within a week, and they totally work with u and love the affirm pay they offer. I also appreciate the fact they do have 3 month labor warranty on their work because a lot of shops won't really try to do that for you. But overall the car had been running great and for sure feel the difference , it is faster then before I'll say that . Anyways, will be taking my car here from now on for services. read more

Discovered this shop from a Yelp project. They offer very competitive pricing and also accept Affirm, which is a big bonus. The quality of the work is excellent, and the paint comes with a 5-year warranty, which is a great added benefit. The owner Michael is very accommodating and easy to work with. One downside: avoid dropping off your car on a Wednesday, as they may hold it until Monday, which can be quite inconvenient. read more

Great service from Mike. Good price and honest services. Quick estimate and works done much faster than I expected. Over all 5 stars services and price. I will definitely come back again. And again more my Porsche cars. Strongly recommend read more

Big Shout out to Mike Saad and the guys over here. I had my Alternator go out on my MINI and the guys replaced it in just a few hours. They also recommended other repairs that I will need to get done soon. Their service is Fast and very professional. This is actually the second vehicle that I brought in to them for repair. My other vehicle was a Kia Van and they replaced the engine on that. There is no job to big for these guys. They also offer payment plans through "Affirm" which really helped me out with the cost of the repair. I really can't say enough about these guys! I go to them and I send people to them because I know I can trust them. Which is a big deal. Especially when it comes to vehicle repairs. Big Thanks to Mike and the technicians they working there! read more

BMB Rhinetrade - Body Shops Near Me - Santa Ana, California

I was in OC today and passed by this shop and it reminded me of a story I'd like to share from there a few years back. I drove down from Vegas for a basketball tournament. My car stopped on the freeway in Garden Grove I somehow got it stared again and made it back to my hotel. I found BMB Rhinetrade a few blocks away the next day I took my car there and they stopped what they were doing and fixed my car for me on the spot. I made back to Vegas without any problems and I never had an issue with the crank shaft sensor again. The honestly, professionalism and workmanship stood out to me, while they worked on my car they let me hang out in the office and they treated me like they've known me for years. If you need work done I highly recommend these guys. read more

I brought my car back to my trusted Chief Mechanic Mike Saad, after snapping an axle while driving hard. He made sure the best techs worked on her, and CJ had my car back in action in less than 36 hours. What a legend. Bring your car here, you won't regret it! Thank you CJ! She feels great! The price on the repair was far below what I expected, and that INCLUDED extra work I needed done for my mileage services! read more

Reached out on yelp for a time pressing repair on my 02 e39. Owner responded very quickly and the technician was extremely knowledgeable. Replaced my hood release in a timely matter. Price is also very competitive and hard to beat! Would definitely go back again! read more

I wouldn't go to any other auto shop in Southern California after my experience with BMB. read more

Mike was really helpful and able to get me a quote right away. I was surprised with a pretty quick turnaround for the AC condenser replacement and a recharge even though there was a lot of cars waiting to be repaired. It was all done on the same day. I definetely recommend to my friends and come back for other services/repairs. Thanks Mike!! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. My dad referred me here after I got into an accident and let me tell you...NO REGRETS! Not only was my car repaired to perfection but also in a timely manner. Probably 2 1/2 weeks after I was in my accident my car was ready for pick up. They walked me through everything that was fixed or replaced and made sure I gave my stamp of approval. They went above and beyond and I'm so thankful to Mike and his team for all the love and thoughtfulness they put into this job. You can tell they love what they do and want every customer leaving happier than they walked in. I appreciate you all! Keep up the great work! read more

My car was towed here after the previous mechanic who had been servicing it had closed up shop, but I wish I had known these guys existed earlier. They were friendly, courteous, and always went the extra mile to ensure that the car was came back in tip-top shape. It's rare to find a shop that will work on vintage Mercedes Benz (1974 W114 280) like mine, but I'm glad that they do so with the same professional service they would any of their other customers. read more
