Great repair shop. I"m so glad I found them. My MBZ was experiencing sudden down shifts, and I'd…read morebeen told by multiple mechanics that the car needed a new tranny. A full scan by the shop's owner of the vehicle's error codes was highly detailed and indicated the extensive scope of the problem, across the various gears, but especially the lower ones. The price quoted for installation of a remanufactured transmission, parts and labor included, was very fair ($3,200). The man who owns the shop, Jim, is highly knowledgeable about MBZs, and promptly responds to calls and addresses concerns. The shop itself is well-stocked with all the needed parts, and programming of the transmission is done in-house, without need to send the vehicle to a dealership. I'm really impressed by Jim and the shop's operation. Quick turnaround on delivery of the vehicle, as promised. It now runs real tightly, the gears shifting smoothly. It drives like new.

I got to Hidalgo right when they were supposed to open at 8am but no one showed up until about 8:15. I took a test drive with the technician so he could hear the sound my vehicle was making. While we were driving and after he heard it, he said, "Oh man! I sure hope it isn't the differential!" I have a Toyota Tacoma. I bought it because these vehicles do NOT have problems with the differentials. So, I heard him, but I didn't think anything of it. So, he said he'd take a look at the truck and call me when he diagnosed the problem. I went to sit at Burger King while I waited for the call. And waited. And waited. After 2 1/2 hours and no phonecall, I went back to the mechanic. The technician saw me and said, "oh, I need to confer with my father." So, he called his father and discussed the problem with him (note: his father was not there. He did not look at my truck, he did not hear the sound.) The technician comes back and tells me that the problem is the rear differential and that a new one is $1200+ and he could maybe get a used one for $350-$400. He makes some calls and can get a used one for $750 plus labor for a grand total of almost $1300. I do not just throw my money around. Also, I have a hard time believing that my vehicle (which doesn't even have 100k miles on it) has this problem. I took the estimate, came home, and called a friend who is a mechanic. He said "it sounds like it's maybe one of the bearings, perhaps a wheel bearing or the axel bearing. Did he check the bearings?" I called Hidalgo Toyota and asked the technician if he checked the bearings. He said yes, it's definitely the differential. I decided to go elsewhere for another opinion (please see the review for Lito's Repair Shop in Oxnard (yes, it's far from me) http://www.yelp.com/biz/litos-repair-shop-oxnard The problem was not the differential. The problem was THE CENTER BEARING. Anyone who looked under my truck could tell that it was the center bearing. The mechanic at Lito's lifted my truck and showed me and I saw it with my own eyes. He also asked me if the technician at Hidalgo even lifted the truck because anyone could see it. I told him I didn't know if he actually lifted the truck. I hate to think that I was being taken advantage of at Hidalgo because I'm a single woman and because people think I'm young. But I asked him SPECIFICALLY if he checked the bearings and he said yes. Anyone who even got on a dolly and slid under my truck could have seen the metal stripped away and could tell that it was the center bearing. I will not be going back here.

Will Chu of German Imports Auto is one of the most knowledgeable and HONEST mechanics I have ever…read moremet. My wife and I use to take our Mercedes GLK and Mazda CX-5 to the dealerships for service because we did not know any better. But Will is one independent mechanic I can trust. Will has the expertise and skill to diagnose and repair our 13-year old vehicles. Older vehicle requires more attention and expertise to repair and Will is the right mechanic to handle the job. We had a trip in July to Mammoth Lakes and I had asked Will to thoroughly check out the Mazda prior to the trip. I had performance issues with the Mazda and Will was able to assess that the alternator was bad, the spark plugs were worn and the rear brakes were just about gone. I just got back from the trip and I must say the vehicle accelerated up the mountain peaks so well that I began to wonder what in the world was the dealership service doing to my vehicle all those years? Recommendation: Don't keep calling Will about when your car will be ready or keep calling him to ask how much this or that will cost. Will is very busy working on cars. He will call you when your car is completely ready and he will itemize the repairs and explain all costs in detail. Will will save you money because he gets to the root of the problem and his labor rate is considerable cheaper than any dealership. You will have peace of mind that your car will drive reliably and perform if you let Will repair your car.

Vehicle went in for maintenance work, and an AC inspection was added by request. When the shop advised the AC system was in sound working order service was authorized to recharge it. As it turned out after recharge it was found an AC component was not functioning properly, and the recharge was useless. The shop did not attempt to sell a costly AC repair or charge for the service, being they initially advised a go ahead. They simply called and said "as it turns out the AC needs a repair. We need to charge for the initial inspection but the estimate given for servicing is off the books. There will be no charge for that." And that was all. Not even a "well we can fix it at a good price," or whatever. And that is a good thing! Easy going, good communication, no pressure. I asked 'Do you do the repair at your shop?' And the reply was "sure. Just let us know. We can do that for you when you're ready." Car went in for timing belt, valve cover gasket, spark plugs, oil change.

I recently had the pleasure of taking my BMW to Bertone Motorsport and I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received. These guys are extremely knowledgeable and more importantly, honest and transparent! Nuron took the time to explain the issues with my vehicle in a way that was easy to understand, and never push for unnecessary repairs or upsell services like some shops do. In fact, he did the exact opposite- after diagnosing my car and doing some research, he found that the failing parts should be covered under BMW warranty. He even went above and beyond of taking my car to the dealership service center, explaining the issue to them, and ensuring it would get covered under warranty. All thanks to his effort and honesty, I ended up getting my entire turbocharger replaced along with the adjacent components under warranty--something I never would have gotten if I had gone directly to the dealership. Additionally, there was a separate issue with my engine mounts that they did for a fraction of what the dealer quoted me for. Now my car drives like new! It's hard to find a mechanic who not only knows their stuff but also operates with true integrity. I couldn't be happier with the service I received-- they saved me a fortune and restored my car to drive like new. I'm so fortunate to have found them and will definitely be returning for all my future car needs. Highly recommended!
