Total scammer do not do business at this place. They took our tens of thousands of dollars of deposit and said they ordered the parts which they never did and after months of trying to get the money back they only refunded the deposit without any extra compensation for me having to hire a lawyer to get the money back. This place is no good. Do not do business here. Total scammer lies said they ordered parts but they never did then they keep your money and then you have to hire an attorney to get it back without even providing any additional compensation whatsoever for hiring that attorney and all your extra efforts to get back your money. Terrible people and cheats. read more

Purchased a wide body kit and paid for half up front in July 2025; Long Tran stated about 3-4 months for shipment from Japan, in Oct 2025 said it shipped and should arrive in Dec 2025; ghosted me, never returned my call & texts until late Jan 2026; stated his supplier vanished, lots of excuses, unprofessional - promised a full refund 3 weeks ago; he is a con artist and a thief!

this is a long term review of Long tran from 2016. I have called and texted him from when he first worked on my bmw m3. he is careless. his workers are careless. he butchered my m3 to fit a csl bumper that i had to undo to make the car oem spec and flawless again. he LOST all my OE parts and said sorry i dont know where you mint BUMPER is or all the misc parts i asked him to keep. he cost me alot of time and wasted money. if you are consider taking your precious car to him, you might as well light your car on fire. read more

Once again, for all these years (Big Thanks) to LTMW (Long and the Guys) and Raul for the great service and to Raul for taking care of my E90 335i. With the new pulleys and belts she feels like new again when I got the ride 15 years ago. read more

if i could leave 0 stars, i would. could not agree more with the other reviews (long time major wait). originally ordered 1M front bumper for my e92 335i. car was first attempted to get delivered and has major paint imperfections and parts were not installed/aligned correctly. not all the job scoped and agreed upon was completed. second attempt i went to LA to the shop to pick up the car and Long didn't even get to the shop at the time we agreed to meet. the paint job was terrible and i ended up taping up the car to show how much imperfection is on the car. no idea why i was told my car is ready when you can tell from 10 feet away the paint job was terrible. on the third attempt my car was delivered to me in SD. had to call multiple times for an update. no proactive updates on delays and constant excuses on why the car was delayed every week. had to wait 7 months to get parts painted and installed on my bmw at the end of the day. car still had imperfect paint, front limo was was scratched, diffuser was cracked and had tape still. icing on the gap was the shop forgot to bring back all my parts as requested and swapped lug lock with a common lug. read more

Long, Brandon and the team did an outstanding paint job on my 911 front bumper. Not only they provided me best customer service, they got the job done within 3 business days and detailed the car as well. The paint matched perfect, just like original. The quality of the repairs done to my vehicle were top notch. The professionalism and great customer service of the entire staff, was impeccable from start to finish. I would highly recommend LTMW! read more

LTMW = long time major wait went to get some mods done on my bimmer and was encouraged by them to get a bunch of work done. that's all fine and dandy, except I wasn't aware that it would cause even more problems and a year-long wait, for a car that was hardly worked on. when they finally obliged to finish work on it, I took home a car with a faulty alternator and no engine cover underneath it. long told me that was perfectly normal. he also told me it would be perfectly fine to put 19'' bbms on it that would rub on the fenders every time you drove over a twig. I took it with a grain of salt, and went to my neighborhood bmw shop and they promptly fixed all the issues in my car at a much lower cost, and went above and beyond what was asked of them. LTMW is basically a chop shop and seem happiest to do cosmetic work rather than mechanical work, and prioritize flamboyant and over-the-top jobs over all others. so unless you're trying to widebody your rolls royce or put suicide doors on your gtr, I'd strongly suggest a more honest and qualified establishment to fix your car. wish I had known this before I approached them. that's a year with my beloved m5 I will never get back, and hundreds upon hundreds of phone calls just begging to have them complete the already-paid-for work on my car, which instead was just parked and left aside in the blazing sun of the sgv. read more

Mods Performed: CIC Retrofit; Rerouting Wires Performance Diffuser M3 Steering Wheel Windshield Wiper Motor Replacement M3 Center Console Custom M3 DCT Shift Knob wiring. What really amazed me was the speed and alacrity with which he performed his tasks. Man, and I thought LT was fast!

LTBMW has a great team and I can't wait to visit them again for my next modification. read more

Came here for service twice now and they do not let me down! I drive a X2 and needed brakes done first time and second time I had cabin air filters to be replaced.

A few months ago I purchased a painted M3 style front bumper from the LTMW website for my e92. The bumper is great but the paint quality on it is failing, I tried contacting both Long Tran and the company multiple times to hopefully work something out and never heard a word. Just broken promises to call me back. Very disappointed in the paint quality and worse the customer service. I don't drive the car that often i assumed the paint would last longer than 4 months before it started failing... Paid over $800 for this bumper, avoid like the plague if thinking about purchasing parts from this company. read more

Unless your getting a liberty walk kit or have insurance avoid this place at all costs. Because quality control will be overlooked consistently. 3 month wait for shit that takes 1 week at a regular shop. Don't get fooled by all the hype like I did. Costing me $3k to fix their ghetto ass work. Like I said unless your gonna spend 20k+ on a liberty walk kit you will get put on the back burner with zero attention to detail or experience getting your trunk shock absorbers glued in instead of screwed in. Lost car parts ...or csl trunks that fit like a joke and that's one joke , message me for the pictures. read more

This place is overrated and these people are scums like crazy. I would give them a 0 star rating if it exists or wish their company would go through bankruptcy. I brought a new OEM front grill bumper for my Lexus and they painted as well but later on I see the quality of the paint is so bad and my bumper started to have cracks. I advise everyone that do not COME to this ghetto place and find somewhere else to take your car to get fixed. Once you do business with them, it will waste your own time! LTMW SCAMS! read more

If I could give zero stars I would, this company should be embarrassed, and the owner in jail for theft. I paid 2200 for an m1 style e90 bumper back in 2019. It still has yet to be delivered. They've never followed through on any email promises or phone call agreements. Always it'll be in the mail next week. Or yeah it'll be mailed out. Karma is a bitch my friend. read more

Took my car in to get my bumper repaired. They quoted me a decent rate but then gave me a quote for a new bumper that was just a few hundo more AND I'd get the car a day or two sooner. No brainer I went for the new bumper and less time, this may not be feasible for everyone but hey... for me it was perfect. read more

LTBMW is the place to go if you have a newer generation BMW. The owner, Long, is a VERY knowledgeable BMW enthusiast whom many watched and followed on numerous BMW forums. He started of as a regular do it yourself BMW modder on his own BMW 3 series at his own home. As he gained more knowledge, he started giving back to the community by working on other fellow enthusiasts' BMWs from his own garage. In 2010 he finally opened his own official shop and is now severing everyone. His prices are cheap and competitive. He's helpful too. He can also get you the parts you need for cheaper than most other vendors. Come by if you want fast and cheap BMW installs ranging from springs/coils to exhausts. If he doesn't do certain work, he can refer you to other guys like him too. Be sure to check out his own M3 and X5 which are usually at the shop too! There are always cool cars around to check out!! read more

WOW! I almost cried when I picked up my tc because of the great job LTMW did, they even had my car washed too! ... My car was vandalized and I needed some body work done on my hood and bumper of my 2015 Scion tc. I had a dent on my hood and some paint chipping on both the hood and bumper. I was referred to LTMW by the owner of Detail Union who works across from the shop. I quoted around different body shops but wasn't convinced until I met Brandon and his partners. They were easy to work with and were very professional and greeted me right away. The turn around time was quick as well, about 1 week. I am amazed at the quality of work that I received, it looks like the first day I bought it off the lot. They fixed the paint job on my bumper (which had previous work done by another body shop) and color matched the paint to my fender as well. I'm so happy I came here and would recommend this place to anyone ! THANK YOU Brandon and Long read more

As of March 2011, LTBMW has moved to a more spacious location right across from their old shop! Their new location is technically on Peck Road, but to get there, you still turn on McBean Drive and make your first left. The new place is pretty cool! There is more space for customer parking and a colorful floor-to-ceiling graffiti wall inside. The waiting area is very comfortable and you won't even notice that five hours have gone by since you first got there. I started modding my 328i back in October 2010 and I've done almost all my work through LTBMW. Their prices are good and they do exceptional work. The shop specializes in custom BMW installs, but I think they're planning to expand to other types of cars as well. In any case, so far they've helped me: -Black out the orange stripe on the headlight -Change my tail lights -Replace rear bumper -De-badge my car -Install new tires & wheels Needless to say, every time I leave the shop, I have a huge smile on my face because my car looks better and better. Three more mods and my baby will be ALL SET. :) Oh, and they also detail. read more

Where to start... When you see the name of this company backing big name car groups and social media people, you would think this would be the most reliable source to go get a car done at. Ferrari, Lambos, RWBs, Liberty Walk, and Rocket Bunny are just seen everywhere on their page with there names plastered all over it. Unfortunately my experience with is nothing more bitter and massive headache. Came in for what I thought to be a fairly easy air suspension install. (literally the most difficult thing was to mount the air tank to the top of trunk which they said they have a custom pre-built bracket for) Did not trust myself and simply don't have the time to install this myself. I ordered a 3P Airlift suspension with 4G air tank. Asked to have my air compressors swapped to black air compressor (as I initially order chrome) and customs bracket to mount on units on top of my trunk. They said 3 days to finish my car. Day of Drop Off: Turned in my car to them as promised. Seemed pretty busy that day. Literally just left the keys and no one decides to follow up on what I wanted on my car. (whatever's its on the order) Day 2: Decided to check up- all seemed well. Day 3 (day of pick up): They said they need until the end of the day to finish. I was like no rush- I want this done right. Showed up to pick up my car. Car was still in the shop and from the looks of it- they barely just finished towards the end of there day. Calibration was barely done and just put my lugs on. Black compressors I asked for was not even swapped as they just gave me chrome ones. From the surface everything seemed alright. (Major mistake since I did not know how sloppy the job was) Week 1(after pick up the car): Did an air leak check and heard banging noise from one of my struts. My rears were dropping from 70 PSI overnight to ZERO. How is that even possible? Struts I was just too afraid to tamper with anything otherwise I was afraid the shop was going to frame me for touching it. Brake line tab was broken also which I found out mid week as it was rubbing against my inner rim. Brought the car back- (please take note of this guy Van) told him my rear bags were leaking air and I hear a strange noise out of my struts. He immediately goes to the front of my car pops the hood... I just told you my rear bags are leaking...? and my rear strut section is making a funny noise. Why are you going to the front of the car? After redirecting him to actual part of issue, he begins fixing the issue. After 3 hours of just watching him tinker on the car- he claims all my problems were fixed. Ok everything looks like it checked out. Two days after that incident the banging noise was back and worse than ever. Sounded like a rhino is smashing into my rear fender every time I hit an uneven road. Had no choice to bring it to one of my trusted mechanics to put it on lift to have it inspected. We discovered both strut bolts connected to lower control arm were not even tighten down. The one was supposedly "fixed" was was not on but basically held by friction somehow. (sticking half an inch out) 3 weeks after ( I seriously did not want to have anything to do with this shop anymore) and with my luck I ran into another problem. One of the bags blew and luckily I was rolling with a few of my friends at the time so they were able to help my check it out. The bag apparently was touching the exhaust the whole time. How was this not checked? Brought my car on flat bed and talked to owner- he claims its not his problem as since I was the customer that brought him to product to install and cannot blame his workers for not checking their work. That is pretty infuriating to me when I as a customer have to run head through toe to check this shops work for a proper installation service I paid for. Let alone an extremely shoddy lack luster job. I had missing trunk liner pins and damaged rim ( Ignorant of me for not mentioning it during my first visit fixing the first problem but those were easy fix on my end) He said he would have to charge me for the bags to fix this problem and had it expressed over. I was just pretty much sick and tired of all the excuses out of this shop at this point because I just want my car working and out of this crazy place. If you have something super simple when they are not busy or just rolling in money and alot of time this is the place to go. It's the dishonesty and poor quality workmanship that makes wonder how they work on such complicated builds and I am just asking for a simple air suspension install. Completely mind blown with all these 5 star reviews. read more

I went in for a wide body i guess u can also call it fender flares. I told them i wanted metal fender flares and showed them many pics of what i wanted. They were quick to say yes we can do that. The car sat for 2 months before they took a grinder and completely cut off the fender line. I was like WTF how u gonna fix that! They assured me i was gonna get was i asked for. Well car sat for another 4 months with out being touched wen i threatened to report them they finally got working on the car only to put plastic wider fenders on the car over all the car took 8 months to be completed 8 months for what could have taken 3 months. Only reason i give them 2 stars instead of 1 is because the car did look good in the end but having plastic work done to the car was absolutely not acceptable. read more

Their work definitely speaks for itself, especially if you actively follow car Instagrams and magazines. They've put together some crazy builds, so naturally I wanted to get something done from LTMW. I wanted an Amuse style front bumper initially, but after reading many threads about aftermarket fitment issues, I decided to shell out more to get it done right with OEM fitment. I had a 1M bumper done and they offered to do the job with free installation. All in all, it was $1,450 painted and 2.5 weeks to get everything done. The website pricing isn't exactly accurate because it said I would have had to pay $1,750, so I ended up paying a lot less. They gave me a loaner bumper during the 2.5 weeks (which felt like years) and it was worth the wait. The paint matched perfectly and the fitment was on point. I cannot stop looking at my bae aka car. The only issue was communication. It was a little awkward contacting LTMW and waiting there both times. I felt like we were almost a nuisance, so I tried not to bother them too much. Other than that, if you need good cosmetic work done, I would trust LTMW with your car. read more

I had to return my Lexus lease after three years, and to avoid penalties and fees, I took in here to get everything fixed before returning. The staff was extremely accommodating, and communication was on points. Very very satisfied with their services, thank you so much I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

LTMW has been servicing/modding my 3 BMW's since the beginning of 2007. His team and himself specialize in BMW but are open to any other car manufacturers. The majority of his business is predominantly BMW's, so you know that is just a testament to the kind of expertise/experience he has. He has established a large reputation from the website: www.e90post.com and has been insightful to fellow car enthusiasts throughout the years. He'll never give you a quote unless you ask, because making money is not his main objective or priority, but creating long lasting relationships with his current and new customers is the atmosphere of LTMW and his staff. His prices are not beatable and quality is top notch work. I just dropped my BMW 335i coupe a couple weeks ago because of a mis-fortunate incident that happened on the 60 freeway. A huge piece of metal debri (or bar) fell off a construction truck and the incident was unavoidable. The incident took out my undercarriage, power steering, pulley, wheels, front bumper, suspension parts, and even cut a tire amongst other things. I was able to utilize my insurance to help me with this incident and Long had set everything up for me. Including calling Enterprise to get me inside of a rental (even on a Saturday afternoon). I just picked up my car and am thrilled with the results, it's back to 100%! His staff and himself are very careful with the customers cars and truly treat them like their own. I am so fortunate to establish not only a business relationship, but a friendship with Long and his staff. To summarize everything, this man truly does this for a passion. He gives back to the community and holds semi-annual car meets with food/prizes provided. Not only to promote his business, but a way of saying "thank you" to the community. Anything that has to do with your automotive experience, this is the place to be. End your research/price comparing now and just give them a call! read more

Brought my car to Long after I was rear-ended. He was recommended by a buddy at work. Since the trunk had to be replaced anyway, I asked him if we could add a lip/spoiler to it similar to a CSL trunk. We fired links back and forth and discussed different ideas for the car. When we settled on a lip, I wasn't sure I had made the right choice. It looked a little funky in the pictures. When I saw my car myself, however, I was stunned. Not only had he repaired all the damage from the accident, the lip was molded onto the trunk beautifully, with subtle details that I hadn't even thought to ask about. LTMW is definitely the place I will think of whenever I want any body work done in the future. Oh, I almost forgot. I was looking for wheels for my car but I couldn't quite settle on anything. I liked the forgestar F14s but they did not have the paint scheme I was looking for. Black wheel with a machined face. Long sent it to a machinist to take the tinist amount off the face of the wheel, then clear coated them in his own shop to prevent corrosion. They are literally one of a kind and look fantastic. I never would have thought to do that. read more

I've been coming here get my baby taken care of for her needs - so far she's been very happy :) I brought my car in today (Sat) without an appointment to get an oil change. I wasn't expecting anything but Long greeted me and said it was no problem and had work started on it immediately. Daniel did the oil change and was a pleasure to chat with. The service was quick and I was in and out without any wait time except to check out the awesome Liberty Walk cars outside. Long even helped me affix my front reflector at no extra cost - he probably couldn't stand how ghetto it looked lol. Philip had helped me on the other side previously... (-_-) but I'm sad that Melissa and Philip are no longer with the company :/ -- they were awesome and I wish them the best. LTMW is a great company with passionate staff and fellow enthusiasts. I will be back shortly. Thanks for hosting all of the fun events! read more

I really don't know what happened to this shop since now it seems they hire anyone here now. Long story short, I have brought my car here almost exclusively since the beginning of 2013 for regular oil and filter changes. Everything has been fine up to till last year to now. The last few oil changes has been the most problematic. Not enough oil was added, oil leakage from parts missing or people forgetting to put back the right parts, oil spatter all over the engine bay from the same job as the oil leakage. Now the most recent is they have overtorqued and stripped the drain plugs to the oil pan and now the oil pan might be needing a replacement which is not cheap. This place was so much better back in the day when it was just BMWs. I think now since they have so many other exotic cars to work with, it just seems they have forgotten their roots in BMWs. Now I need a new shop. read more

Came here to get my fenders rolled to fit some massive wheels under the car. You would think that they would do a great job since my car is an E92 and they primarily deal with the BMW E9x series cars. By the time one fender was done, the paint was already flaking off. He had also already used a HAMMER (not rubber mallet) to hammer one side in so much that there was a visible DENT in the rear quarter panel of my car. Linh T says one of the pros is that the owner is Vietnamese. Not in my case, since I asked the guy that was rolling my fenders (not the owner) if he had a heat gun to use. I think he said yes and continued to roll the other fender. I think he also said that the dent was already there. I might have believed him if he wasn't holding a hammer in one hand when he said that. No not really, since I am the only person that ever washes the car. I engage in car washing intercourse pretty often so I would know whether or not a dent was there. So in MY situation, the fact that I wasn't Vietnamese was a huge con, and I'm sure that most people are not Vietnamese, and that this would also be a con for them. It was nice that they did take American Express though Don't believe me? http://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-gt3-forum/854739-new-997-gt3-owner.html read more

Best price in town! Quick and efficient installation. Email and phone communication were clear and transparent. I had LTMW ordered and installed the black kidney grilles for my BMW 330e.

Hate to say it but this place hires the worse receptionists/secretaries. I called in for a quote 3 days ago and still haven't received a call back. I've already taken my vehicle to a different shop to get it fixed. Most likely the receptionist is unorganized and forgot about my quote. I'm wondering how you can forget when you wrote down my VIN number and phone number.

When I was looking for some place to mod my 2009 BMW and I heard a lot of hype about this place. Even though they are about 100 miles away I decided to go check out what the hype was all about. After talking to Long & Ivan and decision was made. Dropped my car off at their new location for heavy modding work including, Fully M3 body conversion, custom paint work, custom bodywork, wheels, suspension, Brembo caliper paint, few cosmetic add-ons, seats, and few other stuffs. Throughout the process, Long and Ivan updated me with progress since this wasn't just overnight modding. After 2 month, I went back to the shop to see the finished product. My jaw dropped to the floor and I don't know where my jaw went, my car transformed into something extraordinary. Custom paint work was just amazing! I was going around the car and it was just flawless. All the work they have done to my car lived upto the hype...surpassed it. Ended up being on the cover of July issue Eurotuner magazine. That shows how legit their work truly is. I will definitely come back to discuss future mods and regular maintnence as well since my car isn't dealer friendly vehicle anymore Lol If you have BMW and looking for place to turn your ride into something special, this is the place to go. Not only that, they do all the regular maintenence with OEM parts just like BMW stealership without putting a hole in your pocket. They also do wheel/tire mounting & balancing so just simple complete solution for your vehicle. Check them out, and what they can do. You won't regret it.

LTMW does it again. They installed a new bumper and Mode Carbon lip on my M3 as well as a custom GTS rear spoiler.
