We had a great experience with Ryan and his shop! When doing our conversion van build out with Scenic Vans in Rancho Cordova, they mentioned they have a great guy in Auburn that they coordinate with to do suspension work. My husband called Ryan and talked with him. My husband, having done a fair amount of research, had the idea of doing a pretty large modification, mostly for safety and comfort sake. Ryan explained to him why he would not do much of the work that my husband was thinking of having done. He gave my husband clear understanding of what actually needed done based upon his experience with his own van and how my husband described how we would use the van. He did not try to upsell us on anything, and in fact undersold us, but the end product ended up being exactly what we needed. His shop did great work, they were super fast and the price was more than reasonable. We couldn't be any happier with the work that Ryan and his team did-they made the whole process seamless between them and Scenic Vans. We were able to pay without even coming into the shop. He is an honest businessman who does great work! read more

Ryan G. MotorWorks - Auto Repair Near Me - Auburn, California

Literally the best of the best! From Mark & Noah, John (one of the technicians I met who serviced my car), Ryan the owner-absolutely everyone here provides all around topnotch service & are so efficient. They are confident, thorough & honest. read more

Not only did he fix my car. He did some minor detailing on the front bender which looks much better than it did before. I'd say before it looked like a total fix - everything was busted, including the battery, overfilled with water in the container. He put some vents in to help drain the water. He fixed my transmission wire -- which was completely chewed through by something -- and managed to replace it. I didn't have much but he was very hospitable and gave me complimentary service. It was such a relief after I had spent the whole weekend there. Thank you, Ryan, and happy new year to you and your crew! read more

Super impressed! I had an issue with my Cayenne Turbo. Rather than replace a very costly part to solve an issue, Ryan and his team felt confident they could repair the existing part rather than replace it after doing a little diag. I put my faith in them and sure enough, I got a call a couple hours later that the repair was done using a very small and inexpensive part. They saved me more than $500 and a ton of time. I've brought other cars here, too, and love that Ryan and his team actually figure out what exactly is failing versus the "let's just replace it all" approach that the dealer takes. Rare to find shops like this now and I highly recommend anyone with a Euro vehicle to go to Ryan G. He, Mark, and the whole team rock! Thanks guys. read more

The lack of professionalism and dishonesty of Ryan G. Motorworks management is disturbing and unsettling: I chose to decline the repair of my BMW X5 when they could not deliver on promised timeline to repair it the same day - I wasted a day away from my business. I get it, mistakes happen: but instead of apologizing (as any professional business would), and acknowledging that they overpromised and could not deliver with timely repair - Ryan G Motorworks chose to engage in rude unprofessional behavior, slandering my good name online and being unprofessional. I'm a hard working Ukrainian immigrant, this attitude and business practices are unacceptable: I will never be back to service my 2 BMW's and Porsche Cayenne S - won't recommend this business to friends and family, Ryan G. needs to learn honest business practices and not engage in childish behavior... read more

I have been a frequent customer of Ryan G. Motorworks through several of my BMW's. There was a time I went off the deep end and didn't and I regretted it. I sought out Ryan for another BMW from his lot of used vehicles, Dr Motors, because I trusted his business. From being so pleased, two others followed suit. From the minute you walk in the door or make contact your customer service is top notch, reliable, honest, and backed with character and integrity from all of the staff. Can't go wrong, unless you don't go! Get me! I know where my cars going, do you?!? I poke fun and smile, but that's honestly how I feel when I think about the years gone by with this team of amazing people and I can't give back enough for what they truly do for their customers, and for you as an individual. Thanks Ryan and Mark for caring about what you do!!! It means a lot to those that have to dip into their pocket book and want to it to go to someone and somewhere they trust and can depend on!!! read more

I have taken my 2004 BMW M3 to Ryan G multiple times for maintenance and repair work over the last few years. I have never had a negative experience, nor have the friends and coworkers I have referred here. They do great work and have real expertise and enthusiasm for the types of cars they work on. I really appreciate their integrity and quality of work. Additionally, pricing has always seemed fair and competitive. If you are looking for a shop that has a team of actual car enthusiasts, with integrity and doesn't cut corners, I highly recommend Ryan G. MotorWorks. Ryan, Mark, and Noah have all been great! read more

Had a question about a quote I received on 8/4/25, still waiting for a call back after reaching out 4 times. Fake 5 star reviews? read more

Ryan and team might not be pregnant, but they always deliver - highly recommend this team of professionals. Between a number of BMWs and an Audi, the shop has a high degree of beyond the shop manual expertise. Honestly, the shop should charge more as the value for money here is unbeatable. Added bonus: call the main line and a real human picks up the phone every time - no AI/ AI agent. Amazing all around. read more

Needed to replace turbo bypass water tubing We have an Audi 2018 Q5, we brought our car. There are several times and really, this review is overdue. They treat their customers like family. They only do the work you ask of the due in the most important thing they do it with utmost quality... I cannot stress enough how I feel when receive our car in the engine compartment is not full of grease marks, car runs fantastic and the price is reasonable. There is nothing like the shop for honesty... Thank you for your time in reading this review. read more

2 things in life you need. A good dentist and an honest mechanic you can trust and is great and knows their craft. Ryan G is it! Best most trusted mechanic I know and highly recommended read more

Ryan and Mark were able to accommodate my last minute change in schedule for my 30k service on my 2021 X3 M40i. My experience is always the same, courteous and excellent service/workmanship; I have been using Ryan since 2012 servicing my 1988 BMW 325is for all work except oil changes that I do unless it up there for other work. He also services my son's Mercedes C63 AMG and 1997 BMW M3. It's worth my drive from San Francisco to have Ryan service them. read more

I couldn't have better things to say about this company, the owner, management, and the mechanics. I own a 2011 Mini Cooper and was told by multiple shops I had rod knock, which pretty much means game over for the engine. I was recommended by a friend to Ryan, gave him a call with hopes to SELL my mini cooper- and he immediately told me that I most likely do not have rod knock, but instead a pulley was bad that could be replaced for under $500. He didn't stop there, he offered to have me bring it in to have them listen to it no cost at all. So I bring it in, Mark greets me with the best customer service I have EVER experienced anywhere. I get a cup of coffee, they look at my car, confirm it's just a pulley, print out an estimate and put me on the books. I brought my car up and they had it completely finished before the end of my work day. Not only did they fix the pulley, they also fixed my hanging bumper AND my headlight electrical issue no charge. You want to talk about an honest, extremely fair priced, old fashioned car shop whose owner is in touch with his business and the service advisors clearly care for their customers. THIS is the gold standard shop. I would give this place 100 stars if I could. Thank you so much and I will be back for anything my car needs from here on out. read more

Look no further than Ryan G MotorWorks, if you're in need of an experienced, honest, and friendly repair center for your german automobile. I spent years going to different dealerships and repair centers for my Mercedes - and all them left me feeling like they took advantage of me. After reading a great yelp review about Ryan and his team, I decided to give them a try. Fast forward ten years, and I'm still coming to them for all my repair needs. In fact, I was in today for a repair that I'm sure would have costed me thousands at the dealership (or they just would've said, sorry we can't help you), but Ryan personally diagnosed the issue down to a damaged ribbon cable in my dashboard, repaired it, and only charged me for an hour of labor - who does that anymore??? Can you blame me for recommending this team to others whenever I get the chance?! Ryan Gangemi, Mark Massa, and the rest of the team are the real deal. Stop wasting your time and money with the dealership and other repair shops and call Ryan and Mark - I promise you will NOT be disappointed! read more

The team at RYAN GMW are certified pros! Took my F95 in today to get some mods done, and they knocked it out of the park! Fast, courteous, professionals that know how to get things done right! Prices are super reasonable too! Even after a few surprises popped up that had nothing to do with them. One of the parts was damaged during shipping and they were able to make it better than when I got it (literally)! Ryan personally worked on my car. There aren't many places where you can say you got that level of service! You can definitely see the passion he has for cars and his craft. You can also see that same passion in every one of the employees there! Mark who helped me book my appointment let me hang out and work while I was waiting (sorry for having to hear the boring stuff at work because I forgot headphones lol) and is definitely one of the coolest guys ever! Also, funny story is Ryan and I's cars met just a couple weeks ago when he parked next to me in a parking lot since we have matching cars! Haha Usually that kind of thing would irritate anyone that parks WAY out there (I call it door ding insurance haha), but I instantly thought it was cool to have another sweet looking ride next to me. Fate brought me here, and I'm glad it did! I'll be back soon for more work! Thank you Ryan GMW! read more

I was an "apprentice" mechanic in my high school days, but chose a different career path. I still do 90% of my own maintenance. I know a good shop when I see one. Especially if the shop is organized and clean. This includes the mechanics, their tool boxes, counters, and bay. I had my DSG VW transmission serviced here and it was top notch. Pricing was very reasonable and the quality of their work is top tier. The office manager was very professional and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this shop for your European car needs! read more

As a mini owner, we all know they are great cars, but if we don't keep up with maintenance then they are a troubled car. Ryan G has had the opportunity to take advantage of repairing something that didn't have to or go the extreme, and charge extra but they were honest and did what was needed. These guys know Minis and they are true in Character. They are worth my business. read more

Is 6 stars an option? This is a fantastic facility. Mark (reception/euro expert) is always attentive and friendly answering the phone, and his expertise helps readily identify any potential issues. I've had them servicing an Audi S4 and diesel Q5 for years. My cars have run much longer than their expected lifespans because of the service and expertise provided by the shop. There have been times they could have gouged me, but figured out warranty options, and referred me to the dealer. I've dropped in a couple times with little questions "why is my car...." and they're always willing to drop what they're doing and identify/diagnose whatever my concern is. I recently replace one of my Audi (yes, that's the correct plural) with a BMW, and Ryan Motorworks was one of my first stops with "what do I need to do to keep this in top shape" questions. Oh - and I skipped all the maintenance upgrades at the dealer because my shop is better than the BMW shop. Lastly, these guys are all locals. They have manufacture certifications. They are fantastic. read more

I took my car today to Ryan G for the first time today. It was totally last minute, didn't have an appointment or anything. I needed my AC fixed as well as an alignment. They squeezed me in the midst of their busy day for BOTH services!! Mark, the guy at the front, was so kind. Seriously couldn't recommend this place enough, and you can't beat the price compared to where we typically go, the Toyota dealership. Definitely won't be going anywhere else for any of our car's services!! read more

Came to see the Euro Car Show! Ryan G. MotorWorks were fantastic hosts! Thank you. If you need your euro car tuned up or van converted this is the place. read more

See all

My 2015 GLK350 stalled. Took it to a nearby Mercedes "specialist". The car was misdiagnosed, "repaired" and released with the same symptoms. Took my car to the big guys, the MBZ Dealership in Rocklin. The car was misdiagnosed, parts replaced and the car was release with the same symptoms. Neither of them was able to identify the problem. I was about to turn my car into yard-art or a garbage can. And then I got to Ryan G. Honesty, Integrity and Knowledge are what best describes this shop. He identified the problem. Made the needed repairs. The car is running flawlessly. I can not express my gratitude enough. Thank you Ryan G. and staff. Al Schieder Lincoln CA read more

No great deals here I feel cheated and unfortunately thier attitude was so what! The 50% coupon is a joke the owner is never there anymore, I drove 80 mile to go to this shop for appointment when I arrived I was told 7 cars ahead of me.. It didn't take the whole hr - they didn't have the correct scanner it took 20 minutes and they still changed for an hour pus I ordered a $170 part they charged $400 When I showed the same part was advertised as less the attitude came about. Ryan you need to make your customers feel like they are being helped not shit on. read more

We were on our way back from Tahoe to the Bay Area and experienced a faulty oil sensor issue in my 2016 BMW 328. Ryan accommodated us, quickly diagnosed the problem based on his experience and got us on our way quickly, I am super appreciative! Amazing service. read more

I have a 2000 323i and had been dealing with a pesky check engine light for nearly two years. Ryan diagnosed and repaired the issue in about an hour. It literally stumped other trusted technicians that I've dealt with in the past, but Ryan made it look like Cakewalk. If you have a BMW don't hesitate to take it to this shop and they will get the job done. Their customer service is second to none and they treat all of their patrons with the same respect, and honesty. read more

My car was misfiring so I took it to Ryan G MotorWorks To have them replace the spark plugs in the car. I picked the car up and drove it and it seemed fine. But when I got to drive the car more it was still misfiring.I was not up in the area, so I took it to another shop that I use. After the other shop did exhaustive diagnostics on my car, they suspected that it was the new spark plugs. They replaced them with a different OEM brand and that fixed the issue. The other shop contacted Ryan's shop and worked it out to where I did not have to pay when I picked up my car at the other shop. I have taken my car to Ryan before and this is just another reason that I will be a repeat customer. They backed their work and collaborated with another shop. Both shops have respect for one another and they know how to treat customers! read more

Ryan GMW is the BEST shop around. I have a 2008 BMW X5 with a horrible warranty that loves to fight every claim made. Ryan & Mark did their absolute best to get my warranty to cover my repair & YAY - it worked. They answer all my annoying questions & always advise me on what's best for my situation. They are always honest & get you & your vehicle in and out! Please do not hesitate to take your car here, it is worth! Pro Tip: Wednesday's Ryan brings his dog Dash in & he loves a good scratch read more

I give them 10 stars! Ryan G MotorWorks was incredibly helpful today. I was from out of town and broken down. Not only did they save me today, but they were very kind and professional. Wishing them all the best. read more

I brought my newly purchased Z4 M Coupe in for its 60K miles service. I asked them to just change EVERYTHING that was a part that could wear out. Damn the cot haha. After a the inspection and a few adjustments, I received a call with an update. They told me the car was previously well maintained and virtually none of the "wear" parts needed to be change. They buttoned up few more things and the car was ready. There's a lot to say about a mechanic shop these days that will refuse to take your $$money$$. These boys do amazing work and are as honest as they come. As in previous reviews, I will recommend them to any and all of my friends, family and all the people I run into on a daily basis. read more

Ryan G. MotorWorks - Z4 M Coupe. Maintained and Serviced only at GMW. - Auto Repair Near Me - Auburn, California

This is absolutely hands-down the best place to get your BMW serviced. They are more knowledgeable than any other BMW service center or dealership in the entire Sacramento area. read more

Am giving Ryan G Motorworks 5 stars only because Yelp won't allow me to give them 10! Ryan & his team are top notch and provide a level of service that is becoming a rarity in today's world. If you're looking to get any work done on German import, look no further. Ryan GMW will not disappoint! read more

I brought my car in in June 2022 for an oil change and used the 50% off coupon that I got from the homepage of the business' website. I was due for my next oil change recently and went to the homepage to download the coupon again. There was a problem downloading it, but when I called to schedule the appointment, the person helping me said he would honor it. When I got there, there was a small, laminated sign on the counter (not a permanent sign, but one that could easily be taken on and off the counter) that said 50% oil changes would no longer be offered. When I saw it I reminded the guy at the counter that I was told that it would be honored when I made the appointment over the phone. He went into an explanation that they buy barrels of oil and that it's very expensive now - blah blah. I had come all the way from El Dorado Hills so I really didn't want to argue, at that point. When the car was finished and I went to pay, I asked about the coupon again and was told that they haven't offered 50% off an oil change since before Covid. Again, I had taken my car there for an oil change in June of 2022 - well after Covid. So, Ryan G if your staff is going to tell customers that they will honor a coupon, please instruct them to do so. At the very least, update your website's homepage and remove the coupons. You saved yourself $70, but lost a repeat customer and earned this review. read more

I don't have a BMW, but I needed a 4 wheel alignment. A friend recommended Ryan G, so I called and made an appointment for the next afternoon. Shop was super clean, everyone was very friendly, and they did a terrific job. read more

Thank you for the response and explanation of the system, and I do appreciate the work that was performed. Two stars was a tad short as you guys do have a good shop and I understand things can be overlooked or just not looked at enough because of customer time constraints.. I live in the Bay Area and my car was stuck there for a few weeks, I hope you understand my frustration at the time. read more

Incredibly fair and reasonable. Conservative recommendations supported by the love of bimmers. First dropped in with my husband's e46 wagon. Assessed and fixed another shop's mistake with no notice. Then I took my e46 M3 in when the axle broke which was promptly diagnosed and expertly repaired. Everyone in the shop is helpful and friendly. They are BMW enthusiasts familiar with the quirks of these vehicles that often go undiagnosed at other general repair shops. When I moved to SoCal, my M3 had a catastrophic failure with the vanos unit. Even though I couldn't bring it to Ryan, he happily consulted in my repairs to help me maintain my classic. This is a reputable and fair shop. Ryan will not take advantage or break the bank and you will drive away in peace. Honestly, can't say enough good things about this team. read more

Always professional and top notch service. Have been coming here for over 10 years with three different BMW's and wouldn't trust any other shop to handle my maintenance and repairs. read more

I recently purchased a used Mini and received a recommendation from a friend to have Ryan G. MotorWorks work on it as most places don't have the experience/knowledge. Well went to the car-wash one day and my back door would not open/close. So I called Ryan G. MotorWorks the next day and they were able to get me in and replace a part and to an inspection to let me know of a few things that need to be replaced. Well yesterday I drove home and had a horrible gas smell. So I called this morning and they were able to fit me right in and ended up having a leak in my gas line which he was able to replace and send me on my way save an sound for a very reasonable price (did I want to spend the money, NO) but, they were very fare and I really appreciate how friendly and knowledgeable they are. read more

I would not own a BMW if I couldn't take it to Ryan. I've tried other shops and either they lack the expertise or it's all about how much they can gouge me. Ryan is a car enthusiast and honest as they come. I always have him change the oil and ask him to look over the car for any issues or preventative maintenance. If he recommends something, I know it is a legitimate concern. Everybody that works there is cut from the same cloth and I've always trusted their work and care of my cars. While I used to work in Auburn and it was convenient, I now live and work in Sacramento and don't think twice about bringing the car up. I have local options - just none that are as good as Ryan and his crew. read more

I used to take my old busted BMW's to Ryan all the time, and he was always the best. Now I have a newer busted BMW and he and his shop pulled through just as well as I remember. Mark was super nice, worked w/ my warranty company and got repairs approved. I got a call from the tech working on my car who explained what was going on and what they were going to do to fix it. I can't recommend these guys enough. read more

I took a vehicle here for a full inspection and Ryan and Danny totally went above and beyond for me. These guys are not your average boring mechanics - for starters, they were eager to help and even excited to answer all of my BMW questions - they gave me resources and valuable info and didn't have any of that "Im more knowledgeable than you" vibe. Fixed a few things for me in a flash and were very reasonably priced. Place was clean and inspiring too. Totally changed the way I will view my auto mechanics from now on and I cant see why I would need to bring my BMW anywhere else. This shop raises the bar! read more
