After receiving an obscene list of "immediate" repairs from the dealer for my 2016 BMW car, i reached out to Ronin for a second opinion. I chose them because they are well rated, specialize in BMW and are close by. I dropped off my car for an inspection and shared with Noel what occurred at the dealer. The inspection was performed in less than 2 hours and the list of recommendations was similar but came in at a fraction of the dealer "urgent" repair work. Discussed all with Noel and based on our situation (keep or sell?) he helped us make our choice. Appreciate their transparency and advice. They are professional and straight forward. read more

I used to go to the dealership for 90% of my repairs, but I was tired of "simple" oil changes turning into thousands of dollars in "urgent" recommendations. Finding Ronin Autowerks was the exact opposite experience. Noel Carbajal has been my service advisor twice now, and his transparency is incredible. He takes the time to walk through every recommendation, clearly distinguishing between immediate repair versus those that are safe to hold off within a certain time frame. No pressure, no hidden agendas--just straightforward, professional advice! Just recently, I went to the dealership because I have the 3-year pre-paid plan. However, they refused to help with an "oil top-off" warning and tried to charge me a $319 diagnostic fee for a potential leak. I drove straight to Ronin Autowerks and even without an appointment, Noel took care of it immediately. Ronin Autowerks is a small shop. Don't expect a lounge with selection of free beverages and spread of snacks while you wait for your car, but here is the bottom line: I would rather have a straightforward, honest advisor like Noel who saves me hundreds of dollars over some fancy amenities. If you want a shop that prioritizes your car and your wallet - this is the place! read more

This is for service done for a 2014 Mercedes Benz ML 350 - needed 6 spark plugs and coils replaced. I had requested a quote on work to be done through Yelp! Project and Noel from Ronin Autowerks was one of the first to reply with a quote. Quote was good and I liked that Ronin Autowerks specializes in German Vehicles. Noel did a great job. He had the car for a day. I ended up picking it up the next morning, which was completely fine. Overall it was nice to be connected as it turned out to be a really nice value from a time and cost standpoint point. read more

Shoutout to my man Kevin at Ronin Autowerks bro! Yesterday I had a scare of stripping my oil drain pan threads by over tightening and was freaking out, thought I needed a new pan from the dealer with 2 vile of Vaseline ready to take it up lol. Called up Ronin, they got my car in there and Kevin confidently worked on my F80 M3 and got that new threads installed professionally with a new oil change. Man, anytime someone need some quality work, I am telling you man Kevin is the most honest and skillful technician I've seen, and he's just calm and knows his stuff whenever there's some issues. This place is clean, easy parking and good quality work for the price etc. Keep it up fellas and thank you again. read more

I brought my Mercedes to Ronin because I was told by another shop my turbo was leaking and might need to be replaced. I wanted a second opinion and Noel from Ronin helped me by taking a look at it. They assessed the "problem" and it did not need a turbo replacement like the other shop said. They said everything looks fine under there. They didn't even charge me for the second opinion! I think we have found our new shop. Honesty and reliability is hard to find and I think we found it. Thanks Noel! read more

Awesome service and help by Noel. He quoted me on yelp and was able to schedule me for the same day and no upsells. I like how honest they are and free coffee and water is always a plus when you wait. read more

Quality work, reasonable pricing. Highly recommend this place! I have a mini cooper and was tired of the constant upselling at the dealership, found my new service center at Ronin. read more

After being rejected by 8 other automotive shops, they managed to help me fix my wheel stud issue on the same day. I have been stressing for weeks. Today they managed to take my stress away. Also extremely reasonable pricing for the services that they have done. I will 100% come back to this business with any more concerns. I give them seven out of five stars. read more

Was my 2015 mini cooper's primary car shop prior to last spring for 2 1/2 years before I moved out from OC since graduating college. I can definitely say this place is young lady approved as we women know that car shops love to upcharge/ scam + be intimidating towards women car owners. Luckily I've never had that experience here: I've gotten speedy help 6+ times from the team even for replacing minuscule details/missing parts on my car: My favorite worker was definitely the previous receptionist Harley who aided in my decision to be a regular here; I was sad when I heard she moved on to prioritize her personal life, but the new receptionist was awesome as well and the quality never faltered! Miss Ronin's Autowerks for sure now that I've moved and struggled to find reliable shops in the Coachella Valley. read more

Ronin is always quick and easy to get service done. They are very helpful Thanks for always helping read more

Highly recommend Ronin Automotive. After being overcharged 10 times elsewhere for a VANOS solenoid repair that didn't even fix the issue, I brought my car here for a second opinion. They were honest, knowledgeable, and transparent. They properly diagnosed the problem, fixed it at a fair price, and even helped me document everything so I can pursue a refund. Professional, ethical, and truly customer-focused. read more

5 star customer service. Great communication from the beginning. Inquired about my service via Yelp. Noel responded that he can help. Took my car in and left it and within a hour was sent a text about the estimate. Told them to go ahead and proceed with the repairs and got my car back within 4 working days. What I went in for: My car is an 09 R8 V8. Had a check engine light due to evap leak. I needed to renew my registration but needed to get it smogged. And while it's there I included an oil change. I also put on a new set of wheels with new TPMS and it didn't connect to the car. So I had them take a look at that as well. The process was a breeze. Left my car there and got it back the way it should be. I know it's not easy taking your car in and leaving it to a company you're not familiar with. But Ronin made it easy. Thank you guys. read more

Experienced, knowledgeable and affordable. Highly recommend this place over a dealership for Mercedes. read more

It gives me peace of mind to have locals guys who understand my VW TDI! They specialize in European cars and have a lot of racing-type cars in their garage. They are fair in terms of pricing and will do the little extras that I appreciate. I don't get any upcharge vibe from them either. Thanks Ronin! read more

Today was my second time using Ronin. i have an X3 ans they are great with the service, the accurate pricing and accurate timing on when my car would be done. They did exactly what was needed. Thankful for Ronin, i wont go anywhere else! read more

I took my 2011 E350 sedan in and it was fixed with the B3 service required and I knew it smelled of gasoline every time I filled it up. Sure enough it had a leaking fuel pump. I took it in for service last November 2024 and it drives like new when they get done. Thank You so much. I HIGHLY recommend this business!! read more

Been coming here for the past 3 years or so doing my routine oil change/service for my Mercedes. Staff is always super friendly and professional. Service prices are great compared to other European auto shops and you always leave feeling like your car got taken care of. As a woman, I feel very comfortable here since they're always transparent with the service details of your car. I will def recommend this place to anyone else looking for a reliable shop :) read more

Had some work done on my car recently, when I got home, I noticed my front dashcam was disconnected on purpose from this shop. After reviewing footage, they purposely unplugged it right when they pulled it up to the service bay. I wouldn't trust this place for service if the first thing they do is unplug a dashcam. Talk about shady service. How can they call themselves a German/luxury specialty shop if the mechanics they employ have something to hide. Do not trust this place for work on your vehicles. read more

Matt and his crew take great care of our classic BMWs. Definitely a good place to get your European car serviced.

Took in my VW Golf on the recommendation of my sis-in-law, who had her Mini serviced there. I was used to paying $1200 a shot at the dealership. Doing the regular service for my car at Ronin was not even 1/4 of that price. The reception area is ultra clean, staff very polite and accommodating. He ordered me a ride share so I didn't have to wait there. Appreciate that the approach was honest - my car didn't need anything extra done, he didn't try to oversell me anything I didn't need. Highly recommend Ronin; will definitely go back when it's time for my next service. read more

just had my older M Coupe serviced & rear subframe bushings replaced -- Matt & his crew continue to impress. Noel the service manager explained everything needed & the work was top notch, down to paint marks for re-torquing the bolts! I've gone to these guys for a long time & will continue to take my car here. Excellent shop run by a great set of guys. Thanks Matt & Noel. read more

Does professional, quality work. Clearly communicates what is needed. Does work on time or lets you know if there's a problem. Easy to work with. Fair and reasonable pricing. Gives comprehensive estimates. read more

I went to Ronin after my dealership quoted me an astronomical number to fix my car. It was either fix my Mini or opt to get a new vehicle. I decided to to get a second opinion and I am glad I did! Noel at Ronin not only made time to diagnose my car but walked me through the process. He also kept me updated as the repairs were made. With all said in done I got to kept my Mini, paid a fraction of what the dealership quoted and had a lovely experience. I highly recommend Ronin for all your Mini Cooper and euro car needs. 10/10 read more

Great service and great work on my Porsche Cayenne!! They are very reasonable with pricing and take good care of my car. I found out my neighbor Brad has been going there for many years!! I would definitely recommend them to my friends and neighbors :) I took my car to another euro mechanic near Costco and they tried to overcharge me.... Never going to that place again.... read more

Ronin is always great to work with. They don't do a bunch of unnecessary things that just drive the price up, the work is solid, and they have great turnaround. We bring Audi, Porsche, and BMW cars here. We really appreciate their honesty (especially when compared to the dealers.....) read more

Always ready to help good service i have no complaint !!!! For the last 5 years!¡ My Audi is been running great 2005!!!!

Noel and the team at Ronin are excellent. they changed my car battery with reprogramming and registration. Do not go cheap with this replacement. My cousin tried to save $200 at a discount auto parts store and his entire audio system does not work. he was quoted $2000 to fix the audio system. mce read more

My 2011 Audi A5 2.0T started to stutter and misfire under acceleration. Ronin, compared to other German automotive independent shops I called and vetted instantly got me in, was very responsive, had a seamless point of sale system to view the diagnosis and repairs needed, and most importantly provided great customer service and value to my experience. My car needed a few things done to get it up and running again smoothly and now I can say it's running better than it has the last 2-3 years of ownership, all at a great price and with an accurate diagnosis. I'll be using Ronin for all of my needs moving forward. Thank you, Noel and the team at Ronin! -Tristan read more

My entire family has been going to Ronin for many many years. They have always been able to identify issues and fix things for great prices and in great time. I would recommend them to anyone, especially if you are looking for a long-term go-to mechanic for your european cars. read more

My service request was for them to check my brakes in my car due to a weird noise. My right wheel was making quality of the whole experience was very nice. They were fast and friendly. They went above and beyond to accommodate me. I also did a walk-in I called before going in and they were very nice on the phone as well, the value was worth it they do charge a fee to take a look at your vehicle which is not as bad as the other mechanics I called. I'm very happy I'm very satisfied. I will be coming back for future mechanical issues. I have hopefully no time soon, but I highly recommend that here, they were so fast and met. Matt was very professional. I feel like it will say fair price. Thank you read more

Very professional and exactly what I was looking for when I recently got back into an old BMW. I wanted to find a shop where they would go over the entire car and let me know everything that needs to be fixed. Randy was extremely patient with my requests and understood my needs. He kept me updated on everything that was getting done on the car. This shop is honest and pricing was fair and the turnaround time was quick. I feel confident enjoying my new car after getting it back from them. read more

Ronin Autowerks - Auto Repair Near Me - Fullerton, California

Noel, responded to all my questions and concerns for my e36. When doing the initial diagnostic he sent me a list of concerns to fix on my car and even gave told me the priority of what to fix. He did an amazing job on my car and I definitely will be coming back! read more

I have a very good auto repair shop that I trust. Trust is everything when it comes to auto repairs. Especially when you have European vehicles. A recent visit to my regular shop with my low oil pressure light on revealed a situation that they weren't comfortable with. They didn't want to take a chance on misdiagnosis and costing me time and money that was unnecessary. So, they recommended Ronin Autowerks because they have deeper understanding and knowledge for BMW/MINI cars. Plus they have better scanning equipment for these and other Euro cars. I was able to get an early AM appointment within 2 days. After dropping the car off I had a call within 1 1/2 hours with a definitive cause for the warning light and cost for repair. It was about what I expected so I authorized the repair. They weren't certain that it would be completed within that same day but they were going to work on it and try. About 6 hours later I received a call that the repair was done and I could pick the car up that same day or the following, whatever would best for me. Amazing service!! I won't hesitate to use Ronin again when I need more technical repairs on my MINI. I couldn't be any more satisfied with the whole experience. read more
