I had another shop not far from this one (also strangely with the word Autowerkes in their name) try and quote me nearly $1,000 for a simple transmission fluid replacement and filter change after holding on to my car for nearly 9 hours.These guys not only did the job in record time, but it was less than half the cost of what the other shop wanted. I very much appreciate Doug and Brians work ethic and professionalism. Valley Autowerkes is my trusted local mechanic shop.

Its hard to fine a good reliable and fair mechanic. Ive had my share of bad experiences and can honestly say beeing with Valley Autowerkes for the past 2 years.... I have been very pleased with their service and fair pricing. Looking forward to a long relationship with all our family vehicles!

Valley Autowerkes has been my go-to auto mechanic for years. They earned my trust the very first time I brought a vehicle there several years ago. And since that first time, they have never let me down. They have always completed quality work in a timely manner. I never even think about going somewhere else.

I highly recommend Valley Autowerkes, we have been coming here for years. Doug is an honest man and won’t sell you more then what is necessary, and the work is quality. We love that this is a family owned small business and our commitment to coming to Doug is appreciated and valued.

I always try to get my VW car serviced by Valley Autowerkes. They are very honest and thorough when it comes to do any service or major work on any ones vehicle. This a small business own shop and I try to give them any business possible due the fact that they are honest and up front with any issues. Greta service and great work the mechanic knows his European car quite well.

We have had Doug take care of everything for my first BMW 2001 350i and now my 328 2011. Always feel great with Valley Autowerkes. They also took care of our Toyota Tundra not long ago. I can’t imagine going to anyone else. Wonderful group of professionals.

Doug and his staff are the most honest and professional people i know. I have been taking my vehicles there for 15 years. Their work is impeccable! Thank you Doug for all you have done.

My audi a4 2.0t timing chain came loose. They were able to get me in and back on the road in 2 days. They were very professions, honest, and did great work on my car. I paid $1100.00 for new timing chain and tentioner..They updated me everyday and texted me as soon as it was ready.I would recommend valley Autowerks to everyone with a audi..fyi:Audi of temecula wanted 2x more than that and tried to get me to trade in my car and upgrade..

Ive been taking my cars to Doug over the past ten years. My cars have been BMW, Marcedes, Lexus, Porsche and Ford Ranger. In all cases he and his team have done excellent work with better than fair prices. I am planning on moving out of the immediate area but will definitely continue to have my vehicles serviced by Valley Auto Werks. Very much valued and appreciated.

I’ve trusted Doug at Valley Autowerkes for repairs on three VWs over the past 8 years or so. He’s always straightforward and professional. He’s even advised me on GTI repairs from a distance, when my daughter was stranded while away at college. I highly recommend them!

Doug and Brian are they best—high integrity, high competence, and high responsiveness. They give you the full context of your car’s situation, provide cost-effective options for addressing any problems, and keep you informed along the way. Never any surprises. I highly recommend them!

Doug and Brian have taken care of my Porsche for four years, they are reliable, honest, and know their stuff! Highly Recommended

Doug and the team at Valley Autowerkes made it such an easy and convenient experience. Car was towed in midday, the team diagnosed the problem same day and I picked up the car the next day. This is makes for a great experience!

I have used Valley Autowerkes for some time and have found them to be very professional, fair, honest. Id recommend them to anyone.

I have been going to Valley Autowerkes for many, many years. My kids take their cars there as do many of my friends. Doug runs an honest shop, never tries to get you to do work that isnt necessary. Brian is a great mechanic and the prices are very fair.

I always have a great experience at Valley Autowerkes! Doug and Brian do a great job assessing the situation and the quality of work is phenomenal. I would recommend Valley Autowerkes to anyone needing a trusting mechanic. Keep up the great work Doug and Brian, you have been a blessing to all your customers!

Was visiting from out of town to take a little drive on Mt Palomar with my Porsche Boxster S and had a power steering failure. Being from out of the area, I was choosing blindly looking for a shop and I’m glad I chose Valley Autowerkes. Not only did they take in my car same day that afternoon, but they got the parts in overnight, and had me up and running and on my way back to Fresno by early afternoon the next day. Had a great chat with Doug about all things Porsche while being well taken care of.

I always recommend Valley Autowerkes to anyone who needs help with their automobiles. Doug and his team fixed a problem the dealership could not fix over the course of a two year span. After that I have been a happy customer for years.

Doug and his team are the best. They went over and above to help me get my car back on the road. I will never take my GTI anywhere else. If you want quality work, and exceptional customer service bring your euro car here.

I’ve been to Valley Autowerkes several times with 2 different BMWs. Doug and his team really know what they are doing, and they are passionate about caring for German made automobiles. I trust them completely, and their rates are very reasonable, especially compared to the dealers. It is so good to have an independent garage nearby that is so honest and trustworthy.

Super nice place to take your vehicle, very honest and trustworthy. Accurate estimate. Convenient location. Fantastic dealer alternative.

Doug did exactly as he told me on my AC on my Benz. Very knowledgeable I will continue to go there for service

Excellent customer Service. The reason I keep coming back. Doug always informs you on the items that need attention, and problems that need attention later. Excellent reputation for maintaining any German car. He has taken care of my 2001 passat for 10 years.

Not the cheapest in town, but definitely the most detailed and honest. Fantastic location to have repair work done. They specialize in European cars but are great with all makes and models. Brian is an awesome mechanic who thinks on his feet and can repair vehicles, not just change parts. This is awesome dealership alternative!

Great service and professional craftsmanship friendly people.Could not ask for more.

Outstanding shop! Been taking my car here for a few years now. Doug and crew have always helped me out especially in times when my car has broken down and needed immediate repair. Theyve always fit me into their busy schedule to get my car fixed right away.

2012 VW Passar TDI SE: Timing BeltValley Autowerkes was highly recommended to me. I waited months to bring my car in due to the pandemic, and it was worth the wait. Doug has been very professional and honest throughout the entire process. He expedited a part needed from the east coast, and was able to complete the work the same day I dropped off my vehicle. I definitely recommend Valley Autowerks and they gained a loyal customer.-Noel

Great place that does quality work had an oil change done fast and there’s a great deli near to have lunch at

I’m so glad I found valley autowerks. We’ve been going to them to repair our cars and keep them running for years. They are extremely honest and that means a lot when you go to an auto mechanic and the prices are fair. I would definitely recommend them to anyone

Doug at Autowerkes has always been a trusted genius mechanic that I have gone to solely over the past 10 years. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Ive been looking for an honest shop that is equipped to work on range rovers in the area, I finally found it. Great service! They do not tell you its problem #1 for this $ and then later say well its that plus #1, #2, & #3 for $$$$$ like another range rover equipped shop in the area does.I also liked that they inspected my vehicle (brakes, tires, belts, hoses, seals, ext.) and gave me a list of things that may need to be replace in the future and things that are in good shape. This is a shop for keeps.

I have been taking my car to Valley Autowerkes since I bought it. A 2008 Volvo. Doug and his guys are so diligent and kind and easy. They send me email reminders when it is estimated that my mileage is at a point for service. I check the mileage and, if so, make an appointment and take it in. They are great. I find their prices to be fair and reasonable too. Doug is an expert at pacing needed repairs and major maintenance to coincide with my budget. This is invaluable to me as it allows me to plan for major repairs. I never feel surprised. I have never looked around since I found them. I highly recommend Valley Autowerkes! You cannot go wrong with them!

Had our car over to Valley Autowerkes on recommendation from another local shop, we’re glad we did! Doug is friendly and professional. His estimate was spot on, problem solved. We will definitely be repeat customers!!

Great shop to take your car to! Highly recommended to give them a call and get a quote!

The best shop in the valley to take your European car to for repairs. Doug is super knowledgeable and great with people, and Brian (the lead technician there) is an amazing mechanic. Very happy to know these people.

As always..... we are so well taken care of. We love to come back time and time again, despite the fact that we live almost two hours away!There is no feeling like knowing you are in good hands. Trust is invaluable.We are grateful for this experience and we are looking forward to many more in the future. Thank you!Jac and Mimi

Doug is a stand up kinda guy. trustworthy and fair. on a secondary note, nice people associate with nice people. when he found something wrong with my car that he couldnt fix, he sent me down the street to Dyno Transmission. As soon as the transmission is remedied, the car is coming straight back to Doug. First Class.

8 years of experience with this business, and Doug has always been right on about what was going on with my car. They are honest, straight up people. If you are not taking your MBZ, or BMW there, you need to give these guys a try. Youll be glad.

Took my wifes Honda a couple months ago to get her starter replaced and was very happy with the speed and quality of the service. This time I was treated like a stranger, just told they only work on European cars.

We’ve been taking our 1996 318i to Doug since 2006. We’ve been very satisfied with all the work that Valley Autowerks’s has performed from replacing our engine to a simple oil change!

Very happy with Valley Autowerkes. First time using them will take Our VW back when needed

Been bringing Doug and his guys my cars for two years now. They have all the cutting edge diagnostic equipment you need for your high-end cars and for everything else. They are absolutely honest and charge fair prices, but more than that, I trust them. I dont want to take my cars anywhere else!

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. My 2006 Volvo s40 is my baby, and I need her to be well-cared for. Valley Autowerkes is the only place I will take her. Paul and Doug are fabulous, honest, reliable and eager to do their best work for their customers.They always get me in quickly, and they always communicate well with me during the repair process. Their prices are competitive, and their work is superior.

Great help from Doug and Brian! Thanks guys!!!

Called in the AM, brought the car in, several miner issues where addressed, got the car back that afternoon.Cant ask for more.

Hats off! Took my Volvo S60 into Doug for a radiator & coolant hose replacement and couldnt be happier. Bottom-line, Valley knows the European cars and does the work right at less than you would pay at other shops. Highly recommend and will only think of one shop when my Volvo needs more repairs.

Honesty is a virtue and Doug lives it. Him and his team do a great and thorough job. He wont sell you services your car doesnt need.

Doug is the best, not only did he help me save money, he gave me the best possible parts. My E63 AMG needs that type of quality care. Thank you Doug I will see you next time!

Been taking our 2002 BMW 3-Series here for years. They do a great job, honest, sincere and extremely knowledgeable. I trust them, and thats not a term one can use for many repair shops.

Terrible. I cant give no stars so one it is. Still running into issues from repairs this shop made. Silicone happy shop. Two mechanics from two different shops found issues (leaks) from work this shop did. Both those mechanics said someone fixed the issues with silicone. The issues were my valve cover gasket and my coolants flange . Probably more mickey mouse work somewhere else. Bring it to his attention and Paul will deny it. I even brought him the part replaced to show him it was done at his shop. My patience was tested with this shop. I will say after some arguing Paul offered 300$ credit. But check this out, i go in for an oil change and brake job and they find something else that needs fixing that amounts to more than I expected. If I recall it had something to do with my turbo but I may be wrong. Anyway, hell get his money one way or another. Shame on me for not doing the work myself. Maybe the Master Mechanic was in a rush. So why write this review a year + later? Because I need my car maintenance and another mechanic runs into more silicone issues from work this shop made. Consult at your own risk. Just my personal experience and its only my opinion.

I only take my cars to Doug, He is the most professional Mechanic I have met and his work and his teams work is impeccable. I took my VW Jetta to the VW dealer for an electrical problem and the dealer couldnt find the problem twice. Doug found it within an hour and had my car back on the road in no time.My other car needed a new turbo and Doug took care of it. I can always trust that he will do what is necessary to do an excellent job.I recommend Doug and Valley Autowerkes to all my friends.

Been using them for 15 years. Excellent shop. Highly knowledgeable, very speedy, fairly priced and, most important, trustworthy, honest and reliable!

The first time in to have breaks replaced, everything was good. When I went back for a fuse replacement & oil change, Mike was very harsh with me. He told me, they are not really an oil changing place and I should go to grease monkey or somewhere like that next time. Even though the have a sign saying if you post a review about them you will get a better deal on an oil change. I thought I found my mechanic, but Ill be looking for a new one

Awsome place. Had my car completed before scheduled time. Really nice over as well.

Took my wifes Prius in for an oil change and a repair of the rear window wiper / spray fixture. Fixed it up as good as new. Would and will be back again. With 2 commuters in the family its good to know a great local shop to help keep the wheels turning.

I own 3 older BMWs and I wont trust them to anyone but Doug and Valley Autowerkes. They are honest, trustworthy and do great work.

Autowerkes was recommend by another repair shop as the go to place for my BMW. Because BMW dealers have a minimum cover charge of $600 (so it seems) finding a local Temecula shop that could deal with the BMW computer was a money saver.Service has always been excellent and I highly recommend them for BMW repairs if you live in SW Riverside County.

I highly recommend Valley Autowerkes. After dealing with 2 other repair facilities, trying to diagnose a run ability and check engine light on an Audi A4, Valley Autowerkes, was able to quickly identify and repair the car and was very fair on the repair bill.

Good work thats well priced. Great family owned business. Wont take my car anywhere else!

Id give them 6 stars if I could. They set the standard on how a repair shop should be ran. All my cars and familys will go to them from now on.

Brought my car in for a brake fluid flush and replacing the coolant reservoir as I found plastic bits floating in it. Ive been bringing my car in for over a year and I wouldnt recommend more qualified and honest people to be working on my car (2001 VW Golf TDI). They always take good care of my car and provide great service.

Weve been customers for many years. We live 45 miles from Doug and his crew and would never go anywhere else. Hes fair and more honest and knowledgable than anyone weve ever dealt with. Thanks Doug!

Paul at Valley Autowerkes was so kind and helpful. I will be bringing my car back here! Would definitely recommend this shop to friends and family. Thank you!

Blew a rear bicycle outside of shop Buddy baught Me new inner tube and tools to change The guys in shop were nice enough to let Me inflate tire and wash the roadrash off on hands and knees offered them a tip for they help They politely refusedNow if they are this nice to Gut on the street imagine how nice they be to you and your car

Always fair and honest service at Valley Autowerkes . We have been bringing our cars to Doug for many years, my daughter even brings her Prius there from San Diego. Every person I have referred to Valley Autowerkes has been very happy with the prices and expert service their cars receive.

Its always a positive experience at Valley Autowerkes. Doug and Paul are knowledgable and friendly. We can always count on them for fast and reliable service.

Took my Passat in due to a number of dash-lights going on. Paul, diagnosed the problem quickly and performed cost-effective repairs.Pauls customer service was excellent and I will be taking all my cars to Valley Autowerkes for service.

Brought in a 1983 VW Rabbit Convertible, these guys know their stuff, even the older VWs, the car drives like a new car. I will definitely be back whenever the Rabbit needs work that I cannot do myself. I enjoy working on cars but there are some jobs I dont have the tools to do, and these guys are great, very reasonable in price and the quality is excellent.

This shop is great. Doug and Paul always greet you by name and they are a truly HONEST repair shop.

Great work with a dedicated staff and invested in making sure the customer is fully aware of the status of their car. No hiccups, no games and never any drama.

Doug really came though for me today! I needed a quick fix and he made it happen. Thank you Valley Auto Werkes!

👍

I first took a car to Valley Autowerkes close to 10 years ago. To this day I still trust Doug and his crew to take the best care of my cars, a 91 Jetta, 01 BMW 330CI, and a 05 VW GTI with close to 550,000 miles between them. I have no plans of buying another car thanks to these guys.

Doug does great work!!! Only one I go to for major or complex repairs. Outstanding work!!!

I just purchased a preowned BMW 750i and brought it to them for service because I wasn't interested in paying the dealers exorbinant prices. An oil change and involved multipoint inspection was just over a hundred bucks. Same level of service as the dealer with out all the fluffy butt kissing. Hell, the owner of the place even dropped me off down the street at a cigar lounge while I waited. I will be back for sure! Thanks again guys!

Well let me begin that valley werkers allow my classic Volvo to remain on their property until my SSDI would arrive on the third of July the manager Doug was outstanding. They have done a lot of work in restoring my 1990 740 wagon and the price of repairs were very good and down to earth and they are honest people you could feel it. Thank you Doug and the mechanics at valley werkers.

Great experience. Fixed a problem that the Dealership messed up. Will be taking my Jetta here from now on.

Doug has always done the work on my 2003 VW Jetta TDI (no long have). He was always fair and honest. If went in for oil change and something was wrong he would advise. Valley Autowerkes was the only place I took my Jetta for service. When I get my new VW (when the 2017s come out) he will be the mechanic again (except for any warranty work--VW will handle. If you dont want to deal with a dealership and their shenanigans, I would highly recommend Valley Autowerkes.....thanks for all you done for me and my Jetta (I will miss her).

Great People, Great Service, Very Honest what else is there to say!

Good prices
