There is a reason why this place has all 5 star reviews because it IS the best place to get your bimmer done! I scheduled an appointment to get my OEM down pipe installed for my e92. Mitchell took care of it within just a few hours. If you own or plan to buy a BMW, please save yourself the trouble of comparing prices, shop around different mechanics, going to the dealer for maintenance etc., just stop, and go to Offset Motorwerks. read more

I hate how so many car shops I give a 5 star then a few months later have to come back and update because they did something to try to screw me or whatever so i really hope i don't have to do that here! now with that disclaimer out of the way sean and his crew are amazing! I've been here for quite few things, control arms, battery change, alignment on my e92 the first thing i did was my control arms and being the Asian that i am i checked their quote with prices online, for parts, etc.. VERY honest, did not try to rip me off on any part of the job, quick and painless process really is a testament to their services that they don't try to rip their customers off, we all know car shops usually try to do that so i think the best thing a car shop can give its customers is peace of mind of fair pricing and that's what i feel here read more

First and foremost I have to say Mitchell and Sean were really down to earth and very helpful. They were super easy to talk to and had no big headed egos most bmw mechanics have. I came in with the dreaded subframe crack that many bmw e46 m3's are plagued with. Mitchell gave me a very reasonable quote when he threw it on the lift. Later on that day he took off the diff and the drivetrain and saw the horror. It was way worse than he previously quoted. It was so bad in fact that the entire floor had to be removed and replaced. But Mitchell was way more than accommodating. Because his initial quote was so low he only charged me for the cost of a new m3vert floor and did not charge me for the labor to install it even though it was tons more work. I even did my research and looked up the prices for that specific part from various sources and Mitchell was not lying about the price to me. They go above and beyond in many ways, not just the example I gave above, and were very accommodating to the many calls I have them when I had questions. When my car was done Mitchell had said they like to give a list of possible problems with the car that will need attention soon but he said the car was in amazing shape and couldn't foresee anything that needs attention in the near future. This is where the usual mechanic will just spout out anything to bring you back to their shop so they can make more money off you. But Mitchell was honest and wasn't trying to scrounge for change. My car is better than new and they have restored my faith in mechanics. I highly recommend them for any subframe work you need on your e46s. They weren't your typical scam artists that you usually encounter in this buisness. Mitchell and Sean you guys rock and have definitely made me a repeat customer. Thank you for your honesty and high quality of work! read more

This place works on things most shops wouldn't even consider so when I swung by for a simple oil change they were probably a bit confused. However, after my experience with them - I don't think I'm going to bring my car anywhere else. They accommodated me around my work schedule and got all the required work done (O2 sensor, oil change) quickly and for a great price. When I do want an engine swap in my car, I know where I'll go! read more

RWD, European cars are their specialty but they will work on Asian and Domestics cars as well. Mitchell is an ex-BMW technician and knows what he is doing. Mitchell and Ryan, the other tech, will take care of your car like it's their own and won't charge you an arm and a leg in the process. Quality customer service and great tech knowledge at this shop. If you are looking for aftermarket or OEM parts for your car, this is the place to go. They perform installs with ease as well.

I highly recommend any BMW owner to bring their car to Offset, whether it be for maintenance, setting up your car for the track, or anything crazy you have in mind. I have taken my FBO 135i DCT and bring my Z4M to him to have my car setup for the canyons/track and refreshed. Amazing prices, very quick turnaround time. Their service and quality of work doesn't even compare to the competition. Mitchell is the only person who I trust to work on my car with his great knowledge across the BMW platforms.

Awesome communication and very fast service. Cost is VERY competitive and FAIR. Spoke with Mitchell via email for downpipe install. Initially, he was not able to schedule me until next week. But, he emailed me back and squeezed me in the next day. The job only took about 1.5hrs, probably less. Car runs perfect and will definitely bring my car back in the future. 02/15/16 I got my M3 control arms and engine mount done at Offset Motorwerks last Friday. Mitchell finished everything, including alignment, in a day. Again, can't beat the price for parts and labor at this place. Quality work. Highly recommended. read more

Offset Motorwerks is the place to get your car worked on, call Mitchell and Ryan and they will not only help you out, but they will tell you what problem you have as what it is. No gimmick or tricks. If something has to be fixed they will let you know, but it is up to you to get it done or not. It is hard to find a honest mechanic now a days. Their specialty maybe European cars, but don't worry, they are able to work on other makes too. Staffs are wonderful, easy to talk to, and quite helpful. Most people wont take in my slammed Lexus ES300 (#WatDaES), but they do not shy away from it, did my regular maintenance and fixed my oil leaks. BUT WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. Offset Motorwerks does not only do maintenance and fix your car. They can do custom jobs too. Engine swaps: Check Turbos/Supercharger: Check MAGICAL THINGS YOU CAN DREAM OF FOR YOUR CAR: Check Thanks to Mitchell, I was able to get more camber out of my slammed daily Lexus ES300 (#WatDaES) Hit them up, give them a call. Cause honest garages are just so hard to find and they are one of the few. Give them a call and get your car on the way! read more

This is the first time and most likely the last time (because I stand by my words and I hate to retract them) that I am revising a prior Yelp review. I am glad Mitchell at Offset Motorwerks gets this revision because he deserves it. I had previously left a provisional one-star review for Offset Motorwerks because there were multiple delays in completing my project car in a timely manner. It was later discovered that the delays were caused by management related issues, not by the shop's workmanship. Upon discovery of the mishaps, Mitchell promptly owned up, cut his loss, reduced his charge, and did everything he could to make me a satisfied customer. To be fair, Mitchell did everything and performed all services as requested: Adding an aftercooler and increasing the boost to an already supercharged E36 M3? No problem! Overhauling the suspension by installing a set of coilovers, sway bar, and bushings; and rolling the rear fenders? Done! Converting the automatic transmission to a six-speed manual transmission? Love to do it! Throwing in a BBK and some MISC parts at the same time? Been there, done that! How about installing some aftermarket performance gauges, fine-tuning my car, and transporting it to a dynamometer to make sure my car runs in tip-top condition? Bring it on! Admittedly, this project took much longer than I was hoping for. But I suppose it's expected for many project cars. If you have the patience for a complicated project and are looking for a shop that does everything MacGyver style no matter what is thrown at them, give Mr. Mitchell Dyche a call. He won't disappoint you! read more

They are CAR people and they love cars! Great pricing, good personal service... I drive across all of Los Angeles to have my 135i worked on here! So far I've had my front arms replaced with M3 arms, new clutch and flywheel and an oil change. read more

E30 Motor Werks closes down after 7 years and refers all business to Offset Motorwerks. Mitchell used to work for E30 Motorwerks and struck out to start his own business. I am super proud of his hard work and I am more then happy to refer my clients to Offset Motorwerks. Robert Calhoun Owner E30 Motor Werks 2007-2014 read more

Ryan and Mitchel are true car enthusiasts unlike some other places that run their shops based on maximum profits. Very knowledgeable on anything with wheels including motorcycles... Always take their time to make sure the work is perfect and the customers are happy.... Highly recommended!!! read more

Mitchell and everybody in this shop are AWESOME and HONEST. Performed excellent work my car. I had walnut blasting on my intake as well replace my oxygen sensor on my (e92 coupe). No more error codes :). I live in OC and I will drive to this shop anytime just to get my car fix. I am planning to come back this week to upgrade my suspension. :) Thanks Guys. read more

Well well welll, used to go to this shop for my fender rolling, but havent been here for a while after sold my little Mazda......but still the owner Mitchell its nice and friendly and also fun to talk with it, and most important thing is they doing really good job for car modification and repair, any car they can help with it, they will do their best, so for people who lives at Glendora city or close to this area you can go check it out the shop by yourself!! Good luck Mitchell, hope your business getting more bigger, and remember to get the TOOL BOX from our company!!!!! read more

Never had such a committed car shop within driving distance, and I'm so happy it's finally here. Offset Motorwerks is small and efficient, unlike some more popular and often referred to shops in the BMW community (don't learn the hard way). After 7 years of being a "BMW 3-series enthusiast" and going to Mini Corsa, LTMW and The M Shop. All of them are progressively more expensive than the other, respective to their order, and Offset is literally 40-50% cheaper than the cheapest on some upgrades/services. No reason to go to the "other" guys and wait 2+ weeks for your appointment. Offset always gets me in within a week, and when I needed a new battery, they got me in within an hour. My 2011 335d upgrades from Offset: -M3 front control arms + install -M3 rear sub-frame bushings + install -Coding (complimentary!) -alignment -tires/wheels/TPMS + install -fender roll/flare (rear) -camber plates install -wheel stud kit + install -new battery + programming Anything requiring your vehicle overnight includes an enterprise car rental. Read: INCLUDES, as in they rent you a car and pay for it. FYI, in either direction (north or south) from their location, you're no more than a 10-minute walk from everything you could ever want, including Chinese foot massage at $20/hr, Starbucks, restaurants, etc. Just north of the 210 so a quick on and off from one of the least traffic-effected freeways in LA. read more

I wanted to adjust my coilover, they went beyond what I asked them to do. Its hard to find a place that cares and understand customer's needs instead of how much money they can get out of you. I will sure bring my e92 m3 here for any services and needs . read more

Finally a shop I can trust. Not only do they know what they're doing, but they have an amazing staff. I can trust that they'll care for my car like its their own. I wish they were closer, but I don't mind making the forty mile drive to have a trustworthy establishment service, tune, and modify my car. Keep up the great work guys!! read more

I showed up unannounced to have my ABS fixed on my race car for a very important race weekend. The guys at the shop got right on it (sorry other customers) and fixed me right up. Friendly professional staff and you could tell they have a great working relationship together. helping one another ensuring the work gets done. Only thing I could have asked for more was a back massage while i waited. (sarcasm) The kid they call Boo-Boo....... as good as they come! Great price, fast diagnoses ( I dont do electrical) and a fast repair. They even offered me a sandwich, who does that anymore?! Personal serice beyond scope. Thank you guys! ILL BE BAK! read more

Very nice people, great service experience. I found them through a BMW online forum. Some other forum contributors had recommended them or spoke positively about them. Before visiting the shop I ordered a FMIC (front mounted intercooler) through their website. After the FMIC was delivered I brought it to them to have it installed. It took them exactly the amount of time I was quoted and I was charged the exact price I was quoted days before on the phone. Very nice, and more importantly, genuine service from the owners to the very pleasant and helpful lady working up front (I don't like to put peoples names on yelp, but you know who you are). Thanks and see you again soon. read more

Mitchell is a honest man who takes pride in his work(professional). I highly recommend this shop to every car enthusiasts especially the ones who have BMWs. read more

Update 10/23/15 I Met Mitchell this morning to do a valve cover/eccentric/camshaft gasket job on my car and an Oil Change. About halfway through, Mitchell called me up to let me know that the valve cover gasket was good and it was the eccentric and the oil filter housing gaskets that were leaking. This knocked $100 off my bill. How many mechanics do you HONESTLY know that demonstrate that kind of integrity and dedication to their customers? Probably none, sadly. They could have easily just done the bigger gasket job anyway (since that's what I thought was leaking and was there to fix) and kept the bigger ticket amount and not said anything to me. Offset does not operate that way though. They earn repeat customer business by quality (and affordable) work, honesty and an extremely high rep among BMW communities. This is why I drive an hour to service my car with Offset, and why I will continue to do so as long as I drive a euro. read more

The BMW enthusiast came alive in me as I pulled into the back parking area - I could see a number of e30, e36, and more cars with a variety of street and race modifications being done. On the rack, were 3 generations of favorites and a technicians body sticking out of some part of each one. The young men running the shop were clean, approachable, and their commitment evident - all the signs of a quality independent shop with pride stood out! If you've been to a good one, you know one when you see it! I discovered Offset Motorworks recently because they had been a shop used to install an aftermarket diff and clutch kit of the former owner of my used 135i. Although I hadn't been a prior customer and was coming to them with a problem, not likely to be any fault of theirs, they treated me like a long time customer with great service. What they could have charged me several hundred dollars for, came out to be a couple hours of labor cost. Upon further inspection of the repair, I discovered they also fixed a failed exhaust mount point that I had forgotten to ask about. Although I have to credit the manufacturer for standing behind their differential, I believe it was also the expertise/reputation of Offset that helped me in saving huge $$$ on the part warranty claim. Thanks again guys although a bit of a drive for me, I would go to them with my technical auto maintenance and upgrade needs... or if I just wanted to know something was going to get done right on my long-loved BMWs. read more

Quotation was very competitive and service was excellent. Also, I found a reliable and honest person at Offset. They already knew most important key of business, customer's satisfaction. Thanks Mitchell. read more

Mitchell has been my primary mechanic for 4 years now, and is the last decent mechanic in all of the Los Angeles area. He is a wealth of information, who's attention to detail and fairness in pricing allows even the most picky car owner ease and comfort in knowing they are being taken care of. My BMW 335i has had everything from walnut blasting, restorative and preventative maintenance, to performance modifications done at Offset. I happily drive almost 50mi each way to have my car worked on by Mitchell, and highly recommend his services. read more

If you want to trust the guys working on your car, look no further. Awesome guys to work with; they won't rob you, and they have the know-how. (not the Napa know-how, the good kind) Anyways, if you have a car you don't like people to touch (i.e. it's very low and fitted, expensive, it's a racecar, or your one-and-only), give them a call - you can trust them. read more

Mitch is a magician I came to him to get my s52 in my e30 running and never had a problem with it!! I decided to use a different shop for the s54 conversion and that was a big mistake, we were stuck on some simple issue that the other shop had made themselves and couldn't figure it out, Mitch took my car and got it running smooth fixing the issues I had, car sounds great so I'll never make that mistake again and take my car to any other shop!! read more

I just visit Offset Motorwerks for the first time ever. I needed some help with my E30 so went to the shop and got a lot of help from Ryan, he's super friendly and very helpful guy!!! these guys dont fuck around, they have some cool/interesting projects going on there. I love my car and have a lot of plans for it and I completely see Offset Motorwerks as the place where with these guys magic my E30 will one day become what I saw in my head since the day I fell in love with these lil cars and I decided I had to have one :D read more

I was recommended to come here for a subframe reinforcement last year but didn't end up stopping by since I sold my e46. I always knew I would end up needing assistance servicing my cars since I own two BMWs. I recently replaced my battery and don't have the cable or software to register my new battery so I emailed Mitchell to schedule some time. He was very accommodating to meet at 6pm since I was getting back from work. The whole process took 3 mins tops. He then popped open my hood to see if I modded my car and we ended up talking for quite a while about potential additional mods and he answered my questions about reliability and what I should be looking out for. Very genuine guy and a nice person to talk to. I then proceeded to pay him and he didn't have any change on him so he gave me a $20 back instead of a $10. I insisted that he keep the change but he didn't take it. This really blew me away since all other mechanics that I've encountered are all about business. What a great first impression! I believe I've found myself a go to shop for my automotive needs going forward. Highly recommended! read more

Offset is hands down the place to go for any custom or specialty work on any car. Offset took care of my car and installed a single turbo kit on my BMW. The kit was no where near perfect but offset took of any issue that came up and kept me up to date continually on the build. The car runs perfectly and it is all thanks to them. Offset is the only place I will take my BMW for any specialty work. read more

Hands down Ryan @ offset is a great guy and really knowledgeable! knows his stuff and helps out!! great shop an HIGHLY RECOMMEND OFFSET TO ANYONE!! read more

Mitchell is a great guy and a factory trained BMW technician as well. I needed a hard to find part and found it and Mitchell in the process.

These guys are great. They know their stuff, they're honest, and approachable. With affordable prices and extensive expertise, I give them five stars. No question. read more

I have been a customer and client of Offset Motorwerks for some time and have not posted a review so I could see if the one bad review that was given was true. After months of coming to Mitchell and the gang at Offset, I can only say that for me, they really have proven themselves to be passionate about cars, offer great service at a fair price and really care about their customers. It's more like having a good friend work on your car than just "a shop." They do what they say they will do and they do it in a timely fashion. In the end, what else can you ask for? I now am having them maintain and prep my Spec E30 race car besides my personal car. Having been the SoCal Regional Champion, I push my race car to the limit. The guys at Offset make sure I am on grid every time and stay on the podium. That is saying a lot considering what I put my car through. Under their care, I have not missed a session, or a podium, this season. I am not surprised that Offset has a 5 star rating and I support that rating. I highly suggest Offset to friends and clients all the time and not one of them has every given me negative feedback. read more

Go here if you need any parts for your car! Performance or OEM. Went in to get a set of KW coilovers and a Stoptech big brake kit for my e90 M3. Their prices where way lower than anyone else. I shopped around and couldn't find a better price anywhere. They had great customer service and they really know their stuff. Definitely going to become a regular here. read more

I have taken my 2003 325i here multiple times for fixes such as getting a starter, water pump, battery, and spark plugs and I've been pleased with the customer service. There are a lot of shady and dishonest mechanics out there but Mitchell and the guys at offset are great and I highly recommend them especially if you have a bmw. read more

Brought my Turbo E30 in for a rear end refreshment that included new balanced driveshaft with associated CSB and dlex-disk, polyurethane subframe bushings, weld-on toe/camber adjusters, differential bushing and axles. The job was all done in an extremely timely manner and the cost of labor was more than reasonable. Mitchell, the owner, even threw in a few "while you're in there" things for me while the subframe was out at no cost. The office manager Jenni is also just as helpful, friendly, and welcoming. I am definitely pleased being that I am a new customer and will be returning again for jobs that I myself am unable to perform. If you're looking for work done to your BMW, whether it's routine maintenance to race car modifications/installs, do not hesitate to stop by. read more

I found them in my BMW forum, they came highly recommended. I conversed over the phone with them and decided to go to them for my 335is M3 suspension upgrade. I drove down from San Francisco on a early friday morning. Their prices are fair and very cheaper than the BayArea hands down!!! They provided me a rent a car and had my car done and driving like a dream by 2pm saturday. They do great work and are very knowledgeable about the BMW platform. I will be returning to them for more mods in the future. I will definitely recommend them to my friends. read more

Offset is the place to go to for all your car needs. They mostly focus on Europeans but are knowledgable in a lot of other makes. Mitchell and the crew are honest, knowledgable, take pride in their work, and best of all, they love cars as much as us!!! They are always pretty busy so make sure to call ahead for an appt. You can't go wrong with these guys. read more

Nothing but love for Mitchell, Sean, and the whole Offset crew. I just bought my first BMW and after researching different shops in the area decided to go with Offset.
