About us

Knowing BMWs and MINI Coopers is the key to effectively servicing them. As owners of BMWs and MINIs as well as mechanics working on them, we have extensive knowledge and experience that can’t be found elsewhere. We repair and maintain BMW and MINI vehicles efficiently and quickly at a price that is fair. We take pride in the fact that we know every nut and bolt in a BMW or MINI Cooper. We can honestly say we are better than the dealer in many ways, not just because we are less expensive. At Coast Motor Werk we deliver what we promise and stand behind our work with a 2 year unlimited miles warranty. We are happy to give you your old parts and, if applicable, we will show you the failure. We want to be your dealership alternative for bumper to bumper service, maintenance and repair of MINI vehicles in Huntington Beach and Irvine CA and surrounding areas. Coast Motor Werk specializes exclusively in the maintenance, repair, and service of MINI and BMW vehicles. With over 80 years combined experience working on BMWs and new MINIs, we are able to complete any repair the dealer can. Often we have found more effective methods and components that the dealer can’t. We pride ourselves in providing the very best workmanship, convenience and value to our customers. It is our goal to become your dealership alternative. At our shop, we provide bumper to bumper service of BMW and MINI vehicles, and we are equipped with the knowledge, training and original BMW and MINI tools to do so. Our approach to the care and maintenance of your MINI vehicle is very different from the dealer. BMW builds the very best vehicles and often sells them without much effort - the car simply sells itself. A typical visit to the sales department results in an immediate test drive, and once you drive it, you buy it. Other manufacturers “sell” their inferior vehicles and try very hard to “keep selling” the customer satisfied. The BMW/MINI dealer knows you love your BMW or MINI, but the motivation to keep you loving it is perhaps lacking. The long lines, the wait for an advisor, the 1-2 week out appointment schedule, the long wait for a loaner…. A typical visit can take an hour or more just to drop off your car. Then the repair can take far too long, and quite often does not get done right the first time. The expense is very high, and the odds your car comes back to you better than before are low. The “free scheduled maintenance” warranty period can be very frustrating, as only the indicated repairs can be performed. For example, if the check engine light comes on but there are still 700 miles until the oil service is due, the dealer will not service both. So you’re back to do it all over again a couple of weeks later. We are here to satisfy you and your BMW/MINI’s needs as painlessly as possible. Bring your BMW or MINI in, and it will be thoroughly inspected and notes made regardless of warranty status. The recommended repairs and their importance level will be well explained and shown to you by a master mechanic. -The repair costs and time estimates will be accurately and thoroughly explained by a knowledgeable person and not pushed upon you. -When it’s time to pick up your vehicle, it will be ready, repaired, and your old parts will be available for you to inspect or keep if you wish. -All of our employees are salaried not commissioned and are not pushed to complete repairs as fast as possible. We reward them for quality rather than quantity. -Our specialization in MINIs and BMWs is the reason why we continually satisfy our customers. -Our location, low overhead and efficiency are reasons why we don’t have to charge what the dealer does. Quite often our prices are half of what the dealer charges for the same service or repair. -Fast turnaround, Most repairs are performed the same day. -Accurate Diagnostic, because MINI and BMWs is all we do we are more accurate with our diagnostics. -Two locations to serve you: North OC Our original location at 15385 Chemical Lane Huntington Beach opened in May 2005. Conveniently located near the 22 and 405 freeways. South OC Our new location at 3070 Main Street Irvine CA 92618 will open in October 2010. Located ¼ mile from Jamboree and the 405 freeway.

Overall I like this place, but the price is a bit high. Example I recently had a Service Engine Soon light come on and to hook up their computer to read the code they wanted to charge me $125. A local mechanic did it for free! There is no reason to charge so much for a 2 minute procedure and the equipment to do the procedure costs less than $200. The other mechanic did it for free and it was discovered there was no problem with the car.
It would have cost me $125 at Coast to learn that there was no problem? Gimme a break!

Ron and his team are real pros. They were courteous and always polite. They gave me a ride to work when I dropped off the car. Besides the main problem, I added lts of little things, like replacing the battery, replacing motor mounts, and replacing the hood struts. None of this was a problem and all the added fees were reasonable everything was completed on time. In fact, they did the work almost two weeks faster than originally quoted. It was a big job that required removing the engine and having the heads resurfaced. Ron also insisted that I bring the car back for a follow up after driving it for 1,500 miles. Most mechanics would say drive it for few days. After about a month the car began to make a subtle noise so I took it back. They adjusted a few things and it was back to a perfect purr. No charge.
