See all

Dan and Jeff really set me up this week. My very elderly 4runner was not starting and I had it towed to them over at Scott's Motor Werks. I gave them kind of a soft budget along the lines of "call me if it starts to get crazy" and they understood The assignment perfectly. They did quite a lot of work for the price, addressed reasonable related issues, but never tried to upsell me on unnecessary things. They did exactly what they said and kept it in the budget. They also did it in a timely fashion. I don't think it's reasonable to expect any mechanic to be chasing ghosts and have it done in a few days, but they had me in and out in 3 business days. Really an excellent turnaround time for what others would have taken MUCH longer to do. Thanks to Jeff and Dan for taking care of my old sentimental vehicle with lots of strange old car issues. I would send any of my family over there without hesitation. read more

Scott’s Motor Werks - My old girl before a glow up from Scott's Motor Werks. - Auto Repair Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

In my 14 years in Arizona I have owned a 2001 BMW 540i (automatic). Currently I own a 1997 BMW 528i (automatic) and a 2002 BMW 530i (manual). Thanks to Jeff and Daniel my cars are perfectly imperfect (a very good thing). I have been very fortunate to have had Owner Jeff Bonifas work on all my cars. He is thorough, super knowledgeable, and goes beyond the call of duty with his work. Jeff will address all your concerns and needs. He is honest and sincere when letting you know what a car needs or what a car could use. A lot of shops charge exorbitant fees. This is not the case with Scott's Motor Werks. Their pricing is competitive and within reason. Most importantly, they do great work. I encourage you to take your car to Jeff and his staff because I am very confident they will not disappoint. read more

Extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with the service on my MINI COOPER. I really thought "Jeff" the mechanic at this shop would competently repair my car correctly and fix the "Check engine light" I paid him $1600 CASH (also tipped him $20) and my car STILL has the "Engine light" on! I feel as though I was taken advantage of. read more

I"m a long time customer (at least 8 years) of Scott's Motor Werks, writing a review for the first time. Just had them complete the 60K mile service on my Audi Q5, for which they sourced genuine Audi oil, air and pollen filters as requested. They have previously performed all routine maintenance and some not-so-minor repairs on 2 BMW convertibles I owned. The owner (Jeff) and his staff are very good mechanics, they provide very good service and responsiveness, do what they commit to, and pricing is very reasonable. I trust them with my autos, and highly recommend Scotts Motor Werks to anyone looking for a quality operation for their auto needs. read more

Scott's has been taking care of my BMWs for nearly 20 years. Whether it is a new or older model, M or a vintage classic they are highly knowledgeable and experienced. The team is meticulous and professional and willing to work around your schedule. I especially love the fact that they don't "load" you up with extra, unnecessary repairs and are always reasonably priced. Although I live 25 miles away it is well worth the drive! read more

Scott’s Motor Werks - 2019 M4 - Auto Repair Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Would definitely recommend this shop if you're looking for a Pre Purchase Inspection on a used car. Had found an E46 that I was really wanting but knowing the nature of the beast I wanted to make sure it was a safe buy. Jeff gave me a call when the inspection was done and gave me the bad news. But on the bright side I dodged an expensive bullet. Thank you to Jeff and Scott's Motor Werks for the assist! read more

Honest, reliable service for my son's 135. They are able to get us in quickly when needed. Would recommend to anyone needing BMW service.

Omg...they are so knowledgeable and fast service. Daniel was such an expert on my BMW 2019 M550i Xdrive. Prices are insanely cheap compared to the dealer. Just on spark plugs replacement job, I save about $850 from the dealer quote. And they use actual BMW parts not aftermarket. I did front brakes, spark plugs and coils, oil change and air filters. Runs like a charm. People I tell you take you BMW there and save your money. read more

Fast, reliable, and decent prices. My husband has a 528i that wouldn't start, called and Jeff answered all my questions, he stated they could check it out about 2 days after we dropped it off. He called later and let us know what the issue was(starter) gave a price and said they'd call us when it was completed. Called a few hours later, had her running and they let us know we need tires. Perfect. They also registered the new battery for us 2 days later as our battery was shot. So we have found the place to take the BMW. If they worked on anything else besides bmws and coopers I'd be there too. Thanks Jeff and Daniel. Y'all are the best. read more

NO! To Scott's Motor Werks. Sold on site my 2010 BMW 528xi and still won't give me my money. I've been a customer since 2011. Knew previous Owner, Ray Bladine, Sr 30 +yrs and his son Ray Bladine, Jr and Mechanic Jeff Bonifas. Jeff Bonifas bought business 5 years ago or so. This business for BMW's allowed Owners selling their BMW to leave onsite so interested buyers could see and drive car even when owner was unavailable. Never a charge. No selling, just allowed people to see & drive, I advertised my 2010 BMW on Nextdoor. Didn't sell by the time I needed to leave so left it at shop for repairs and available to see & drive. Person who saw it on Nextdoor came to buy. Jeff Bonifas said minus repairs he owed me $2,500. Stated he mailed me cash. No one mails cash. He's a liar, Never received money, Bill of Sale or receipt for repairs. I am retired, unmarried woman. Jeff Bonifas? A bully.. NOT CERTIFIED BMW MECHANICS. read more

Awful. Deeply upsetting. No integrity. Quoted one price and work order then says something different after the fact with previously undisclosed charges and more "issues". Jeff the mechanic flat out lies and takes advantage of trusting senior citizens. Take your BMW literally anywhere else and avoid this horrible place. Be sure to check the date of other reviews before 2023. Scott's used to be great but since he left, I his good name and reputation is being destroyed by Jeff. read more

The entire team at Scott's Motor Werks is great. Jeff has cared for my 2001 740i since I arrived in Scottsdale seven years ago. He changes my oil, the battery, and replaced the trunk shock when it stopped working. He fixed my broken seat rail and even got the stuck cassette tape out of the deck (at no charge). Pricing is fair and they provide solid workmanship. They keep my 20-year-old beamer running like new. I highly recommend! read more

I've been a customer for over 20 years and consistently am highly satisfied with the knowledge, experience, and workmanship provided. Jeff explains things well and offers options where appropriate. Despite the drive from my house, Scott's is the only place I trust with my BMW. This place is a gem!! read more

My friend has a BMW and had engine issues while we were in Phoenix this weekend. She checked around, figured out the problem from her mechanic in LA and then purchased parts here. She was directed to Scott's Auto Werks through a referral from a friend. With the good Yelp rating, she felt comfortable bringing her baby here. Ray, the manager, was very accommodating and friendly. He was happy to get to work on her car immediately and use the parts she had purchased. One hour later, we were ready to go! Ray put a new spark plug in, just in case, and gave her the 5% discount offered on the check in deal. Overall, we were both happy with the service but my friend did say that Ray should have given us a verbal estimate of the cost of the service prior to performing the repair. I'm sure this was just an oversight. I would recommend this mechanic to BMW owners. read more

This place is top notch. Jason been their 16 years. Took care of my 2013 X5 like his own. Not going to fix what is not broken. Nice to find a BMW mechanic that is trustworthy and has a passion for the brand. read more

Thorough replacement of my SMG tranny on my red convertible 2002 M3. Friendly, happy crew. Prompt, reasonable, clear in pricing, and fun to work with. Know from racing mods, as well! read more

I'd been taking my Z3 to Scott's for years. They replaced a secondary air pump and later dropped a used engine in it for me when a weird leak blew the old engine. Almost 200k miles on the car now and it's still running great. I got an older X3 last year and it recently threw a service engine soon light. I first stopped at another shop super close to home and they estimated the code to be an issue that would cost $600. I was checking the forums for that code and it could be a lot of things so I called that other shop and they said if I want a definitive diagnosis I needed it on a BMW scope. I knew just who to call. The repair was almost HALF of the original estimate and they got me in within a week. BONUS! read more

Just had my Black 2015 E550 Conv delivered from Scott's. JP and Derrick are great people to work and they have genuine pride in their craft. Black as most know is not an easy match and can be difficult to work with. The car had a few paint chips fixed on the hood which they repainted like new as well as buffed out some light scratches on the rear bumper. They picked up and delivered the car, went all the way to Ahwatukee, great service and the driver was a real gentleman as well. My car looks as new, cannot be happier and would recommend Scott's to everyone who wants the best! read more

What a great place. I have been here twice for work on my 2008 535i and they have done a great job each time. The other day my car started wigging out, warning lights everywhere and the car would change gears randomly. I thought the only fix might be to drive it off a cliff but that was no big deal for Scott's. They quickly found the issue and repaired my car. Great job guys! If you have a BMW you really need to try this place. Mike Smith read more

Out of all the shops I have taken my BMW to, Jeff and his team never let me down. I live in West Valley, so inclined to service it there. But it's never right, so I will always drive over to Cave Creek road and see Jeff and Dan! Solid workmanship, fair price for imports. Top notch. They know and understand BMWs, what work is critical what cn wait. Prayers Jeff! Get well soon brother!!! read more

Piss away your money at the dealer or figure out how to get transportation (or just Uber) and save yourself potentially hundreds for same quality if not better work at Scott's. My parents have taken 3 different models of 5's and 7 series back in the 90's and 2000's and I took my 328i there. Waste money at dealer for their overhead or save/support small biz with good guys. Tough call I know. I"ll go with Scott's and just Uber to where I need to go while they fix my car and save me $ :) read more

So far, so good. Thank you Yelpers for helping us find this shop. We dropped off our X5 this morning with a concern. They inspected and told us it checked out - no charge! DEAR OTHER SHOPS, please be aware this is the way to do business. Honesty. Scott's has guaranteed themselves a return visit and loyalty with this business practice. read more

06-16-2015 I can not RAVE enough about Ray and Scott's Motor Werks ! Ray just gave me a wonderful surprise today when I took my BMW in for a routine oil change, just for being a good customer my service was FREE! now that's what I call customer service. I would recommend this shop highly. Its so nice to see old fashion values and most excellent service. Ray ALWAYS goes the extra mile for me and I so appreciate it. He never tells me i need repairs that i don't need. I have the utmost faith and trust in this shop. 8-3-2014 Honest, knowledgeable , and reasonably priced. Ray is the real deal, he cares about his clients and doesn't recommend unneeded repairs. I'm really glad I found this shop. I feel secure taking my BMW here, Thank you again Ray, my BMW angel read more

This place is amazing! Brought my BMW X5 in for motor mount replacement and wow what a difference! Quality work, fair price and they finished it very quickly. What more do you want?!? Highly recommended!!! Thank you Ray Blandine! read more

Scott’s Motor Werks - Thanks for the Great service Ray - Auto Repair Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have an '02 BMW 530i and was a very loyal customer to PHX Bimmer and was very sad to hear when they shut down. Fortunately the business was referred to Scott's Motor Werks. I had a small transmission issue and some codes that were being thrown and I'm so happy I called Scott's Motor Werks. I spoke with Eve on the phone and she was nice enough to work me into their busy schedule understanding that it was a small job. I talked to one of the techs Jeff when I dropped it off and he was extremely knowledgable. I was lucky enough to have the owner Ray reach out to me when the car was fixed. Ray said the fix was so simple that he didn't even want to charge me for it. I didn't think this level of service and honesty still existed in the automotive industry. I can't thank Ray and Scott's Motor Werks enough, you've definitely earned a customer for life. Highly recommended. read more

Scott's motor Works is extremely fair does very good work and will not overcharge you I will recommend them to anybody who has a BMW. I received a quote from a BMW dealership and Scott's did the work for a quarter of the price. They reviewed my quote from the dealership and And told me that there were items on there I didn't need. I have used them several times and and am Completely satisfied. read more

Brought my BMW in for 60K service but was told nothing needed to be done, that everything checked out fine and did not need any service. Was not charged anything which was a total surprise because I would not have been the wiser. I totally recommend Scott's Motor Werks to anyone that has a BMW and is looking for a reputable repair shop. read more

The reason for one star is because you can't believe anything the owner Jeff says. The first time I came in was for an oil change and he said I had a problem with a temperature sensor and it would cost $225 to fix. I asked to see the diagnostic print out and he said his printer has been broken for a long time so he can't print. I commented that a diagnostic printout is very important to customers and he replied that his customers never ask for it (really?). I chose not to fix it without seeing the diagnostic and drove my BMW until I had a battery issue. I like to support local businesses and I thought I would give Scott's Motor Werks another try. Jeff told me the battery was dead and that it was a specialized AGM battery that couldn't be purchased elsewhere. This is my first BMW and I had no idea. I specifically asked if he was sure about that and he said yes. Well, he charged me $437.55 for a new Deka AGM 649MF and with a little online checking I was able to find this exact battery (same brand Deka same model#) for under $225.00. I called Jeff this afternoon to tell him what I discovered and he replied that he sells batteries for list price that the manufacturer sets because he has to offer a warranty on them. Interesting... especially since the manufacturer covers the warranty, not the repair shop. I asked him if he would be willing to meet me in the middle and give me some money back and he said no. He was only willing to have me buy the cheaper battery, and then he would refund his battery and install the new one. Obviously, my time doesn't enter into the equation for him and either does transparency or telling the truth. I'll be taking my repair business elsewhere in the future. read more

Horrible service, no one works at the shop and is able to help you. I wouldn't recommend to anyone for foreign repairs

Unfortunately, my BMW broke down on me while driving from Phoenix, AZ to Steamboat Springs... in Grand Junction, CO... last weekend on a Friday night at 10:00 PM! Lousy timing. Every warning and indicator light was going off, and I'm sitting there with a car that is loaded with ski gear, baggage and my two boys. What to do? There didn't appear to be a lot of European auto mechanic talent available in GJ, much less a BMW dealer. So, I called Ray. Believe it or not, he called me back within 10 minutes (at 10:00 on a Friday night!!!), and walked through an over-the-phone diagnosis to conclude that my alternator had failed. It was clear that the car wasn't going to continue on with us on that trip, so he pulled out his computer and found me a mechanic from a network list of reputable and certified shops. Over the course of the next five days, he was also willing to take my calls and validate what the Grand Junction mechanic was telling me and give me a comparative cost estimate so that I could feel comfortable that I wasn't being taken for a ride. Once again, Ray demonstrates customer service that is above and beyond what anyone might otherwise reasonably expect. Thanks again Ray! read more

WOW!!!! I LOVE this place. Jeff is the one that helped me. Very professional!! I pulled up and he looked so busy, (well of course..... more people are hearing about his reputation.) He took me in right away and serviced my needs. I could tell he is very knowledgable about BMW's. As I am sure with other cars too. He fixed my problem in no time. I will not go anywhere else now. You would be crazy to go anywhere else. He is the BEST!!! read more

Amazing service. Ray is the only mechanic I've worked with that took the time to be kind, considerate, and friendly. Got my car right in for a fix (window regulator for 2004 x5) and done right away. $100 less than my last mechanic quoted. I will be using Ray for all of my BMW service! Thanks Ray! read more

Great customer service!!!! Thank to Ray for referring me to a great collision repair shop that could repair my damaged Chevy Tahoe. Even though he wasn't bringing in any business for Scott's Motor Werks, he was kind enough to refer me to a trust worthy repair shop to replace my damaged bumper. Thanks for always looking out for the customer! read more

Scott and his crew have been done a great job with my '97 Z3 for the five years I've had it. I would say that he is very conservative and only recommends service that is needed. I had to talk him into a brake job that he said I didn't need. read more

Scott's Motor Works is an amazing company. The professional service that Adam provided was greatly appreciated. I did not have to worry about my car being fixed correctly and in a timely fashion. I was very pleased when picked up my car. Thank you Adam! read more

I have been bringing my multiple Bimmers here for over a decade. Scott doesn't want to be your friend, he just wants to fix your car. I had an experience a few years back where my car literally wouldn't run. I thought I was in for a very expensive fix. Turns out the vacuum hose separated itself from the manifold. I simply need a clip replaced. My total bill was under $25. If they were a dishonest shop, this would have been the perfect time to take advantage of a customer. Half the time he tells me what my car needs, but suggests I don't do it for another 6 or 9 months. I believe honesty comes first with Scott. In this day, what is that worth? read more

I can't say enough good things about Scott's BMW. They have nursed my 2001 X5 from the time it went out of warranty until its current 225,000 miles and it is still going strong. The owner, Ray, is professional, responsive and never pushes repair work on you. Jeff, the head mechanic, is a genius. Work has always been done correctly and timely. As my car passes through a quarter million miles, I have no doubt that Jeff can keep it going to a half million. read more

Simple is the key, no crap, just fix-it. Thanks... I'll be back... Everyone should use these guys! Honest and simple is working for me! Thanks for doing it right. read more

Amazing service. If you own a Beemer, this is the place to go for service. They really went above and beyond the call of duty! They won't take advantage of you either like most auto shops! read more
