    Malek & Fred showing me my old rod bearings.
    Darren S.

    MRF Engineering is straight up the best mechanic shop I've been to in my life. No questions. Let's start from the beginning of my experience. When I called Malek from MRF Engineering to setup my appointment for a Rod Bearings service on my E92 M3, Malek sent me a very detailed email about the entire process. How long it's going to take, the cost, what parts and fluids are they using, etc. Made my appointment then went to MRF in the morning and was greeted and welcomed by Malek's father, Fred. He explained to me how everything is going to go down, showed me around the shop, showed me what rod bearings even are, and showed me what an engine looks like after rod bearings failure. I felt like a valued customer the entire time and the shop is extremely clean and organized! Left my car there overnight to pick it up the next day and met Malek. Malek showed me my old rod bearings and explained to me everything about them. Also gave me a run down on the condition of the rest of my car. He then answered all of my questions very patiently and was very detailed about each answer. Overall the entire experience was smooth and vastly exceeded my expectations. I would 100% recommend anyone to bring their beloved M3 to MRF Engineering after my experience here. Thank you Malek and Fred!

    What a transformation! The M3 feels much more buttoned down. Everything from shifting to bump compliance to sliding feels more engaged. Listen to Malek and take his suggestions. I doubt anyone on this continent knows the E9X platform better. I would write more but I need to keep driving!

    Phenomenal! Malek has replaced the engine in my 2009 M3 in April of 2017. I took it down there from the Bay Area on a trailer and I continue to make the drive out to him for maintenance/upgrades. MRF is California's true leader for M3 rod bearing service with over 270 cars completed successfully. He also installed Bilstein Clubsports, BBS E88, and a bunch of new suspension components on the car. I consider MRF my family. The only place I trust with my cars, hands down. Thank you!

It's conveniently super closer to where I live and the rating made me choose this place. I inquired on pricing on installing an exhaust piece and an oil change through Yelp and the business replied very quickly. Not long after I received my quote for the service and was pleased with the pricing. I made the appointment and I happened to drop it off a day prior since I ended up having free time. Later in the evening I received a text notification that the car was ready! I was surprised at how fast everything was completed. An awesome thing about the shop is they even have after hours pickup. There's a lock box outside where your keys will be kept in and you'll receive a combination for the specified box. The inside of the building is super clean and the waiting area is spacious, with couches and a bar style sitting area. Service was excellent. Josh was my point of contact in the beginning and Nick was the person who collected payment and provided me with the keys. I highly recommend this place for your automotive needs!

After researching auto wrap shops, paint protection film specialists, and vinyl wrap experts, I chose Dependable Guys, and it was absolutely the right decision. Arson and his team did an incredible job matching my 3M Satin Dark Grey Wrap. Satin finishes are notoriously difficult to blend, especially on a Tesla, but the color match and texture are flawless. The repaired areas are completely seamless and indistinguishable from the original wrap. What really sets Dependable Guys apart is their combination of quality, speed, and professionalism. They completed the entire wrap repair the same day without compromising craftsmanship. That level of efficiency is rare in the auto wrap and collision repair space. The customer service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and very detail-oriented. Arson took the time to explain the process, set clear expectations, and delivered exactly as promised. If you are looking for Tesla wrap repair, vinyl wrap services, paint protection film, or high-end color matching, I highly recommend Dependable Guys. This is easily one of the best auto wrap shops I have worked with. I will definitely be coming back for future work.

I had planned on being a returning customer and have custom wrap done on my car, interior lighting, and a few other things. I had even started referring different friends to the business who also wanted to have work done on their cars. Sadly it didn't turn out this way, as I randomly got a text message on February 27, 2023 from his wife suddenly banning me from returning since apparently they had marital problems and decided to involve me in their personal lives. I was absolutely blindsided and quite frankly disappointed at how Alonso and the "co-owner" went about their issues. I wanted to let this go however since his team replaced my car's dash screen, CarPlay system, tinted my windows, the sound system has been absolute trash for taking calls. Callers say they either can't hear me or hear an intolerable echo that makes it hard to listen to what I'm saying. I have not been able to have clear calls ever since the work they did. So l was left with an unusable phone audio system in my Mercedes that required an added expense since I clearly am "not welcome" to fix the crap they did to my car in the first place.

Throughout this situation, I tried to remain professional and respectful and expressed my willingness to resolve everything amicably. Yet, after paying nearly $4,000 for a re-gear service, I discovered a massive gear oil leak covering my driveway the very next morning due to an improperly secured axle. This left my driveway stained and reeking of gear oil--with professional cleaning estimates ranging from $400 to $600--and I spent the entire weekend in anxiety, questioning whether my truck was even safe to drive, and eventually having to return it on Monday, which disrupted my business. During this process, I was communicating with my assigned service advisor, but responses were often delayed, unclear, or evasive; messages went unanswered, questions were redirected, and clear answers were difficult to obtain. When I brought the truck back, it was described as "just a loose axle" and claimed fixed, yet no documentation was provided proving that the differential or internal gears were inspected after I had driven it for an hour while leaking. Their claim that "there is no problem" or "everything is fine" is something no reasonable person could trust. With re-gear work, any mistake or improper setup often only becomes apparent after several thousand miles of driving. This is why a formal guarantee is not just a request, but a necessity. When I requested a formal written warranty, they only gave me a $0 invoice with no actual warranty terms or duration. For days, I calmly requested two very reasonable things: a formal written warranty and a fair resolution for the driveway damage. I never demanded compensation for emotional distress or lost business time; I simply asked for accountability. After experiencing this, I looked through other reviews and realized that my experience was not an isolated incident. I strongly urge everyone to READ THE 1-STAR REVIEWS FIRST before coming here. You will see a chilling and habitual pattern: dodging responsibility, being 'afraid of standing behind their work,' and sneakily adding extra charges--then claiming they are unavoidable. In fact, I later realized the overcharge I experienced was just a small fraction compared to what others have reported. You will also notice that the owner's responses to negative reviews are always the same--robotic, defensive, and dismissive. They publicly ask customers to 'contact us' to give the appearance of being helpful, but it is nothing more than a deceptive marketing tactic. If they truly intended to resolve these issues, my driveway wouldn't still be stained, and I wouldn't be left with a useless $0 invoice instead of a real warranty. The fact that these 1-star reviews remain unchanged proves that their 'invitation to talk' is a sham and nothing ever gets resolved. They have a template for excuses but no manual for accountability. I am sharing my experience and my filing with the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) so that other victims know there is a formal way to seek accountability. After seeing so many similar complaints, I strongly encourage anyone who has had similar experiences with their safety, property damage, or deceptive billing to file a formal complaint with the BAR as well. As a business owner for over 20 years, I understand mistakes happen, but I cannot accept a refusal to take responsibility. I am now filing a formal complaint with the Bureau of Automotive Repair and initiating a credit card dispute. A strong online presence means nothing if a company fails to protect its customers' safety and property. [UPDATE: Response to the Owner's Reply] The owner's response below is exactly what I warned about: a robotic, defensive excuse that shifts the blame. They claim a 'failed C-clip' on an aftermarket part, but as any professional knows, this is a clear sign of improper installation, not a part failure. They also claim they 'verified' no internal damage, yet they provided zero technical proof or a detailed inspection report after I drove with no oil for an hour. Mentioning a '90-day warranty' now is laughable--if that were true, why did they refuse to provide a formal written warranty when I asked for it repeatedly for days? Their response is just another marketing tactic to look responsible in public while remaining unaccountable in private. My filing with the BAR and the credit card dispute will proceed as planned.

There are many body shops in the area surrounding RAC, but RAC is a diamond in the rough, and my time was completely wasted until I dealt with RAC. When I arrived at the shop, I had arranged a time where I would work with Sean to repair my car, and Sean told me he could repair the damage seamlessly within 3 to 4 days. Given the far more expensive cars being worked on at RAC, they assured me and left me with the feeling that I would receive the same level of care and attention to detail the more expensive cars would receive on my car. I have heard horror stories about body shops damaging cars and rushing through jobs, but RAC is incredible. The communication throughout the entire process was superb. The price for the work was fair, and given the level of attention to detail and work I received, I do not regret one penny or ever taking my car to RAC. I will not hesitate to recommend or take my car to this shop for any body shop needs. The repair to my car is seamless, and I can't tell any damage had happened to my car.
