CPR European Auto Works

I’m new to Seattle and was looking for a reputable mechanic who specializes in BMW. After talking to Kevin (the owner) it became apparent that he has knows bimmers very well, knows their problems and the best way to fix them. Can’t say its was cheap but work has been well done and much cheaper than at the dealer.

I’ve been taking my 328i to Kevin for the past two years. Super friendly and knowledgeable. Great customer service as well. He’s even let me borrow one of his own cars in the past during times where the repairs would only take a few hours, instead of me having to lease a rental to get to work. Kevin definitely treats his regular customers well. Plus, he often has cookies and sodas out for the taking too!
He has a guy who can replace bumpers as well, which was really convenient and ended up being less than what the MAACO in Bellevue quoted me for.
This place is also open on Saturdays, whereas a lot of shops on the Eastside don’t.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and honest mechanic, look no further. Unfortunately, I’ll be moving out of state, so I’ll have to look for a comparable mechanic.

Been a little late to this. I have a 02 330i and Kevin has been nothing less than awesome! He is super knowledgeable and takes joy in helping people learn more about their cars and how to take better care of them. He never tries to market his services and breaks down the repair requirements into urgent, good to have and unnecessary at the moment. Makes it so much easier for me to decide what I want to get done. His estimates are more often then not, spot on.
I would totally recommend him for European cars.
Thanks for the great service, Kevin!
I just moved away from the Bellevue area and am now looking for something like this in the Bay Area.

Kevin in an excellent person. Honest and clearly explains the issue and no false or hidden charges. Neither tries to sell more than whats needed for the car
Amazing exp. Will highly recommend this place

Great local business for your European brand cars. Defo will go back for future work.

Fast, honest work, and for an excellent price. I had some work done on my 2007 Volvo S80 (brake pump, alignment and oil change) and it was done quickly and reliably. Highly recommended!

I found out Kevin shop by chance. Since then he has been taking care my BMW 535& 740. He has a lot of knowledge and passion about cars. He works hard to perfection and he charges very reasonable rate, not only to dealer even other shop like Strictly BMW. I just got a MB SL 500, I’m heading to Kevin shop for any work needed to be done. I highly recommend Kevin’s shop for your priceless toys.

Kevin and the staff are above and beyond what I’ve come to expect from a repair shop, especially one specializing in European cars. My Audi A6 needed some love before selling it and Kevin advised me honestly on what it needed and what could be put off. But it wasn’t just the honesty, the expertise is top notch as well. He knew by peeking in the hood that I had swapped the alternator a few months back. There isn’t a better shop anywhere. Bring your car here.

Great service always very good about fitting me in when I need appointments certain time or day. Communication is always huge for me so I know what to expect and it has been very well dealing with these guys. Have gotten all kinds of services done on my car with them for the past 4 years and been always satisfied.

Kevin quickly diagnosed my problem, had it double-​checked by his tech, and then found me a cheaper option elsewhere (Mercedes parts are ridiculous).
Without even having had service done, I’d recommend him for his honesty and willingness to look for more affordable options instead of just quoting a price.

I went to this shop, I am happy and my car is happier 。nothing to say but THANKS ！Give your car a chance to meet Kevin.

I have been using this shop in the past year and I cannot be happier. My car has been taken care of and I do not have to worry about mechanics charging me for extras that i do not need. Kevin must be the most honest mechanic left in Bellevue! The guys working there are great as well and have great expertise. Kevin always calls back with no hidden costs! My Bmw is happy!

These guys are awesome. My car (Volvo XC) was fixed within the day and for a very reasonable price. Kevin and the team diagnosed a complex problem related to my drivetrain quickly. They have earned my trust, and I will be back.

I went to Kevin for my 55K service on my Audi A4 after finding him on Unilocal,and he is as good as the reviews say. Fantastic service, goes above and beyond other mechanics I’ve worked with. I highly recommend him to anyone else looking for quality service at a reasonable price.

Finding the right mechanic for my BMW M6 was really hard after bmw dealership ripped me off several times, but after searching around I found CPR European auto works and decided to take my car in a year ago after I saw good reviews for this place.
Kevin was really knowledgeable about my car and diagnosed the problem the first day and fixed it the next day.
Since then I’ve taken my car to him several times and had the same awesome experience with him every time.
He also provides loaner car for certain services.
I get much more services from him compare to dealership without getting ripped off.
If you are looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable mechanic, CPR European auto works is the place to take your car in for any kind of services.

I have only set my appointment, so this review only speaks to the quality of service I received. My inquiry was returned within 10 minutes and received a call from Kevin directly to diagnose the problem.
Update 3÷1÷14
After my mechanic moved to California, I was left scrambling to find a new one. Luckily for me I found CPR European Auto Works.
Kevin is friendly, fast, and very knowledgeable. He was able to diagnose and fix the problem the same day.
I world recommend Kevin to any european car owner, and if my 2003 Jetta TDI could speak, I’m sure it would say the same.

If I could give this place 10 Stars i would! I have a maserati and was always held hostage to have them fix … Until I met Kevin recently, thank God. This guy is the real deal. If you want someone working on your car that’s a true perfectionist and will save you hundreds or thousands like he did me don’t look anywhere else… You’ll thank me later I guarantee it.

A mechanic is one of the jobs where people will naturally distrust you until you prove otherwise. I admire Kevin for his patience and professionalism and proving that honest mechanics still exist.
I did a lot of calling around prior to deciding with CPR. Kevin answered the phone and was very knowledgeable about the known issue affecting my 2001 Passat. He took the time on the phone to explain the steps and the work required and ultimately the price it would be.
True to his word, he stuck to his estimate and even worked out a deal with me to get me a better price if I got some additional preventative maintenance that I was holding off on done at the same time. After I took my car home he called me a week later to make sure everything was running smoothly.
The shop is clean and tidy, tucked away between all the car dealerships waiting to gouge you for service.
I’ve already recommended CPR to my coworkers and will plan on taking both my cars here for the foreseeable future. The prices are fair and Kevin’s customer service is great.

I just went to this auto shop without any appointment, Kevin spent a lot of time check my car and help me without any fees. I got a BMW 2002 325ci. He told you every details. I feel I also learned a lot from him. It’s the best one. I am from Shanghai, China. just been in Seattle for 3 years. English is not my first language. But Kevin was patient and tell me a lot about cars. He is very honest. I will definitely recommend my friends go there, especially as a girl, you don’t really know a lot about cars, most of repair shops gonna charge you a lot to repair, and you don’t even know what’s been repaired. I feel so lucky to find this nice place. Kevin is so nice that he will help you save money, try to not take you a lot of time. Nice person!!! Nice!!!
This morning, my car’s battery is dead near Starbucks, I was so worried, it was 8:40. I called Kevin. I didn’t expect he will come, But after he received my call, he drove to help me right away, and help me replace the battery, which let me be able to go to school. I can’t believe there is such a nice person.

+1. If you’re looking for an affordable and honesty mechanic, look no further. Kevin is a great mechanic who takes care of you and your car. He is honesty and straight-​forward and doesn’t try to overcharge you like most places in the area.
My radiator was leaking and causing my car to overheat. After calling around, fate took me to CPR. My car runs great and I didn’t have to overpay like the other mechanic shops nearby.
In addition to the great auto repair, Kevin was thoughtful enough to call me back a week later to make sure my car was running great. I’ve got no complaints.
So, if you want great service and professionalism, I’d suggest CPR European Auto Works. Definitely check it out for yourself!
