Valley Motorwerks

So I was driving on sunrise going towards Winding rd when my coolant low light came on so pulled my 97 335I BMW into the ARCO gas station. As I parked the car, I see smoke coming from my engine through the hood. I was like DAMN! So I open the hood and defintely coolant and water sprayed parts of engine. Luckily the car didn’t overheat! Car still ran so I parked unsafe spot at ARCO. There was no definitely a pool of coolant on the ground. I was like SH-​T! I called a few people and was told it could be cracked radiator or hose or reservoir housing.
I was stressed. So I Unilocaled BMW repair shops in Rancho Cordova area n Valley Motorwerks popped up with great reviews. My brother told me he took his car there and they were honest. This was on a Sunday. I had it towed there off Whiterock n Sunrise.
Next morning I went in and talked to Justin who was really pleasant and nice and professional. It took them 3 hours to figure out the problem and turned out to be a cracked radiator hose! Whew!!!
My bill was on $ 275!!! For everything.
Honest company and good staff and they have earned my business. Happy customer!!!

I’ve been back in Sac for a year and a half and I’ve found the place to have my ’07 Jetta and my next car serviced.
I scheduled an appointment from a mailer I received and Dave Trux and his crew were no hassle, congenial professionals. I waited while they did an oil change and vehicle inspection. Sitting there looking at BMW paraphernalia made me long for my 318.
I will return in the near future to have the recommended brake service.

They came to my place of work and left trash on my property.

I went to Valley Motorwerks on Friday in my search to find a local BMW repair shop. They had left a local flyer on my window that was just perfect timing for me. After years of going to Niello BMW and paying an arm and leg for standard service outside the warranty period was not the most pleasant experience. Well my first experience with Valley Motorwerks was exactly as advertised. For over a year my car e90 335i would vibrate at speeds over 60 MPH and each time I would bring this issue to Niello BMW they would blame the issue on the wheels since these wheels were not official BMW wheels. Dave on the other hand said let me take a look at your car and he told me afterwords, «you let me know know if I fixed your problem.» Well Dave I have to say you solved the problem the first time and I really happy customer. Great honest company that truly is passionate about helping you enjoy your car. Thanks Dave!

All I can say is Thank you again Dave you have a great place! It is so nice to know that my car will be serviced and repaired properly and that you are always honest and fair with the repairs and services your shop does, Thanks Again!!!

I think they are best BMW mechanic shop. They don’t charge an arm and leg literary specially labor. And they only use BMW approved replacement parts that will not cost you like the original parts. You have a customer for the life of my BMW. As long as we have our BMW we will be counting on you for the maintenance and upkeep of our car. Keep up the great work and customer service!!!

Great shop that has excellent customer service and knowledge of the cars they are working on. There go to thing is BMWs, but they are also great on other German cars. I am currently having my 2004 Audi S4 worked on as i write this post as it is having issues with the driveshaft. Highly recommend this shop to anyone with a German car, these cars are not easy to work on and can break easily take it to these guys and have it done right the first time. I had a local shop turn me away and say to take is to these guys as they said they were better equipped to the handle the job for my car. Shows a lot about a place when other local competitors even recommend them. Will definitely be using them in the future for other projects I have for sure.

Pretty solid shop with reasonable pricing compared to the dealership. They get work done quickly and don’t always advise you in a way that makes them money — at times they have also checked things put without charging when the dealer would have billed me for at least an hour.

There are two sides to every story. It took filing a report with BAR to have any type of cooperation. Enough said.

I am definitely going back there again. Valley Motorwerk & Dave saved me thousands of dollars. A few days ago, my 335ic without factory warranty broke down and decide to towed to Valley based on friend’s recommendation. I am expecting a couple of thousand dollar repair work. Instead, Dave told me that my car should be covered under factory recall and shouldn’t cost me any. What? He could have said nothing and just repair but instead he called BMW dealership for me and arranged everything. Wow talk about honesty and integrity and customer service.
Car is being fixed for free at the dealership and I should be able to pick it up in a few days. I wish everyone was like Valley Motorwerks and Dave.
Thanks Dave.

Another great 2 visits in the past month. Flawless service and it’s great to see a staff that doesn’t push you away from the modifications you would like to make to the vehicle and they are up-​to-​date on the latest enhancements as well as maintenance needed for BMWs to stay on the road reliably and perform at factory levels or higher. Thanks!

Dave was extremely helpful with a potential problem I had with a BMW I was thinking of buying.

I have a 2010 BMW 335i and I have never taken her anywhere else. The crew at Valley Motorwerks always does Great work and delivers great service at a fair price.

I visited Valley Motorwerks for the first time earlier this week and my experience was not very pleasant. I talked to the owner, whose name slips my mind at the moment unfortunately, and he was quick to resolve the issue and really went above and beyond to make things right. Although I probably won’t be back for a while since their prices are a little high, they do have fantastic customer service and the price is definitely worth it if you want quality work done on your car. I can say that I recommend Valley Motorwerks for the services you need as long as you’re willing to pay a premium for the premium customer service and work that they provide.

I have been taking my 99 328is to Valley Motorwerks for a few years now. What I liked about them?
— They are dependable and provides reliable and quality work.
— Delivers what was promised at agreed upon time.
— Friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff.
— Way much more reasonably priced than the dealer.
— Way nicer too!
What more can you ask for?

Been here 2x and I’m very pleased.
It is a bit out of the way for me but it worth since I can trust em — being I generally jinxed. Was recommended by a dear friend and his son that loves their cars. My kinda people.
Anyways, they kept it real close to their delivery times every time.
They are so nice to drop me off at the train station and they stayed late to pick me up from the train station both times.
They don’t badger me at all about scheduled maintenance with what I can do it myself.
However, they are happy to fix my mistakes if I do get unlucky — fuel gauge needle included. Yes, I broke mine trying to fix the pixel display ribbon should have been an $ 10 home job. On 2^nd visit, they located a replacement cluster, installed and coded it. A GRIP later (its tuition for hard knocks education) my cluster is brand new.
Bunch of nice patient fellas.
Doh, the service engine light came up today. The new cluster works! Better get the laptop and code reader… pretty sure its up for an oil change.

Let summarize this. They call me 3 different days to tell me they found something wrong. From 1^st day estimate $ 2000 to yesterday, which is 4days later last called $ 6000. From day 1, we already agree to have them fix was originally found, than 2called, a day or 2 after increase to another $ 800 because they found something else wrong. Ok let fix that. 3^rd time, the 4^th days which is from $ 2000 to need to replace your transmission. I was mad, why they can’t tell me from day 1. If I know there is so much stuff to fix from start, I will not fix my car. I will use those money for a down payment toward a new car. Now we are stuck in the middle since they already fix the clutch and flywheel which that’s what originally found that need to be fix. I feel like I am being cheated on the money. Since I am not an expert in car, I will let my bf deal with this. My friends said I must be crazy writing a review now. Well I still belief they are a good business people. We will see the outcome today after my bf talking with them. i will let you all know.
Alright. back from spoking with the shop I guess from 2 stars to 3 stars now. My bf went to the shop to talk with them, he said they are not the cheapst but they are willing to work with him on the price (yay!) and they explain to my bf about the car. My bf told me after he spoke with them in person, everything make more sense about the car. It is just suck that they didn’t tell us all this in the first place. So now if we don’t fix the tranny, we stuck with a new flywheel and clutch with don’t know when tranny will go out. Fix the tranny but need to cough out more money that I’ve anticipate from the start. If we know from start, everything will be different. Still, I give them 3 stars for having the patience (I have to admit, they do have great customer services) to explain it to my bf about my car. After the car is fix and everything goes well, I will come back to edit the rating. So if you see the stars go up, meaning my car outcome is great, good business to go to, if going down again than you know what it mean.
Finally after 2wks. I finally got my car back. My car is good. Staff are really patience with my car. Keep us update all the time. Thanks Valley Motorwerk!

This place rocks! I shop around and these guys are consistently the best prices around and for the same quality work and service as ‘the dealer.’ No hard up sell, but always alert me to maintenance concerns and tell me how long I have till repair is absolutely necessary

I have known, dealt with, and respected Walter Ford since before he opened his shop. The Man is honest and takes care of his customers. I have sold Walter a few BMWs and he has repaired and serviced my BMWs. You won’t find a better shop anywhere.
His techs are trained at the BMW factory schools, but they might find working at a place like Niello BMW boring. Valley Motorwerks also builds racecars and they win on the race track. A shop like this is where many of the most brilliant techs want to work. Automoblie racing is exciting. They have the same diagnostic tools as the dealerships to use at Valley Motorwerks. Take your car there, you will be a happy camper, and save some money from what the dealer charge.
Disregard the couple of negative remarks left here. Those people scraped up the money to buy a BMW, but didn’t have the money to maintain it. Morons.

Just picked up car on opening (Wed) after dropping off last Fri. One obvious area not addressed as warning light remains on,
Parts were not saved and «already went out with trash.»
Now skeptical as to what has been done and not done.
Hoped to have better experience.
As a female, you really tend to wonder.
