These guys are great. Took my sons used BMW there for oil change and to replace a spark plug that had been over torqued and another garage cold not replace it. They methodically worked it and replaced the spark plug without damage. They gave the car a full look over and provided some feedback on some items we need to keep an eye on, but didnt try to walk us through a list of items that had to be done right away like a lot of auto service centers do. I felt like we were getting a solid repair, great service, and some thoughtful guidance. Definitely way better than the average Auto Service!

Very happy with the service I received from Christian at CS Motorwerks. I made a request for an appointment on short notice and it was accommodated. All services were accomplished the same day, reasonably priced and the communication was great. Learned about some extended warranty protection on my vehicle that I didn’t know that I had. Great BMW shop !

Christian and his team are true pros. When we had a minor issue, which it turns out was caused by the dealer, they were quick to provide solutions. Definitely will use their services again!

Remember the old days when friendly neighborhood mechanics existed? A place where you would take your car, shake the guys hand and just know he’d fix it right and not overcharge you or sell you on stuff you didn’t need?Well Christian and his team at CS motorwerks are that and much more. He’s a factory trained BMW technician who worked at a BMW dealership for many years, and I recently found out he builds and races vintage race cars for fun! How cool!I first found him maybe 8 years ago when my mint condition E36 M3’s window regulator went out. The dealer wanted an exorbitant amount to replace it, so I looked at local BMW mechanics in the area. Once I found him, he told me I didn’t need a new one, and that he could rebuild it for literally 1/10th of the dealer price. Since that day he’s the only guy that I let touch any of my cars, including my Porsche and Ferrari.The world would be a better place if more of these types of businesses were still around.

Very pleased with the attention to a concern about an engine light issue. It was resolved with minimal cost. I really trust this repair center for not taking advantage of what could be quite costly if taken to a different car service center. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a good mechanic.

This place is great! Christian goes above and beyond to not only make the necessary repairs, but examine any potential issues that may present themselves down the road. He does an excellent job of communicating the details of the work being done and providing his best suggestions on how to keep your car maintained cost efficiently.

Review №24

CS has been my go-to for many years. Better than dealership work at about half the price. With an older car I appreciate the “this is important” and “this can wait a bit” advice on repairs. Other places will try to get about 30 different repairs through every time I walk in.

CS Motorwerks has been my go to place for my BMW repair for years now. Christian, the owner, is not only reliable and very professional but also very trustworthy. He always gives you the straight no BS diagnosis of your vehicle and never pushes on extra work needing to be done, just what is needed. Prices are very reasonable. What else can you ask for?

A friend recommended CS Motorwerks and I’m glad she did. Getting an appointment was very easy and I was able to schedule for the next day. When my car was finished, I got an email with my invoice and what services had been completed on my car. The website also had an option to pay my invoice online which made picking my car up a breeze. I will definitely return for all my MINI service needs.

Christian and his team are top notch. It is rare to find a good honest mechanic. I have used CSMotorwerks for several years to service my BMW cars and more recently for service and repairs on my Audi. They are professional, trustworthy and always easy to work with. If you are looking for a quality mechanic to work on your German car, it doesnt get any better than CSMotorwerks...highly recommended!!

Review №39

The best BMW mechanic in the area. The shop owner Christian is an expert mechanic when it comes to BMWs including Ms. Hes pretty straightforward and easy person to work with. He will give you his honest opinion and the best recommendations for your car. Hes pretty conservative and honest and will only recommend what needs to done. He also will not pressure you to get any work done. Christian however, will give you a heads up if a repair needs to be a priority otherwise, hell give you a recommendations list in order which repairs need to be prioritized.The diagnostics that they do on your car is always 99% accurate. Ive been taking my 2005 BMW M3 here for regular maintenance, major maintenance, or any necessary repair for 3 years now and Ive never had any problems with the car as long as I followed their recommendations.BMW parts and labor are known to be expensive but based on the quotes that I got from the shops around the area including the dealership before coming to this shop, CS MotorWerks is the most reasonable out of all of them. The price that they charge for the quality of work, puts this shop number one on my ratings list.Ive referred a few of my friends here and everyone so far are impressed with how efficient he does the work. When he tells you to drop the car on a certain day, hes already on top of it as soon as the car arrives thats why he always get the job done right away.Overall, I give this shop a rating of five stars because of their expertise, quality of work, and great customer service. The work that they do on your car is reasonably priced and the job is always done right.

A BMW Mechanic You Can Trust!I have an older BMW 6 convertible and Christian Sniady at CSMotorwerks keeps it running as the Ultimate Driving Machine®. He is extremely knowledgeable and great to work with.

I’ve been using CSMotorwerks for years now.I feel very comfortable with Christian working on my cars. We all know BMWs can be expensive to maintain. Christian knows his stuff and can diagnose problems quickly. He will fix your BMW with the right part for the best price. If I can fix it myself he is a phone call away to help guide me along. His shop is clean and efficient and he is a very nice man to boot!CSMotorwerks is hands down the best independent BMW repair shop in the Westlake / Thousand Oaks and surrounding area.If I can’t fix it he does!!

I first started coming to CSMotorwerks three years ago when my old M3 needed routine maintenance and I was tired of going to the dealer. I asked a couple of friends who track their Porsches frequently and they recommended CSMotorwerks as they’ve heard good things from other friends they race with.I gave Christian a call and scheduled to have my car in for service the next day. He completed a laundry list of items I needed done, and I was extremely satisfied with both the quality of work and pricing. Christian is also a Master Technician, so you know your car is in good hands!If you want to keep your car running smoothly for a long time, give Christian a call.

Christian is the best most knowledgeable BMW mechanic I know. It is well worth my time to drive to his Westlake shop from the San Fernando valley.

Review №58

Christian is a great mechanic, honest, and efficient. He has worked on my BMW for 5 years and I always feel satisfied not only with the work but the price. He does not keep your vehicle days so you think there’s a major problem, you bring that day and in most cases it’s complete that day or next morning and it’s fixed right the first time. I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed and thankful you gave him a chance.

Great experience! I needed an oil change and general service check before driving across the country in my 10yr old BMW. Honest team - they could have sold me a bunch of work but instead told me my car was in good shape and informed me of services I may need in 5-10k miles. Good guys.

Review №62

Christian is honest, fair and very knowledgeable. Hes been my BMW mechanic for about four years now and he never disappoints. But not for him, keeping my older 750LI would not be cost effective. He diagnoses problems quickly and will let you know upfront what the cost will be for the repair or service. If youre looking for a qualified BMW mechanic that you can trust completely, then I highly recommend that you try CSMotorwerks. You will not be disappointed.

You can feel very confident having CSMotorworks service or repair your BMW. Christian is very honest about what needs to be done to your car and at a fair cost. My 2003 530i runs like a dream and before any long distance trips Christian is always willing to give the car a quick check over for anything that may need fixing before I go. It’s nice to have CSMotorworks as my wing man on my travels.

Review №88

I called Chris late on a weekend because we wanted some advice on a used Mini Cooper we were considering. Chris was very pleasant over the phone and took the time to talk, ask questions and when I asked if he could look over the car he said I could bring it in Monday morning first thing. Bottom line, Chris was very pleasant, upfront, knowledgeable and we walked away feeling a great deal better about not pursuing this vehicle because of his inspection. And much to our dismay, despite having spent considerable time doing his inspection, when asked how much we owed him he told us it was no charge - when we countered we wanted to pay him something he wouldnt take our money. In a world where good service is difficult to find, unless you pay for it, Chris is an anomaly and it almost makes me want to buy a BMW or Mini Cooper just so he can be our mechanic. Nice, honest, reputable...no hesitation in recommending.

I have an older Mini and almost sold it out of frustration of dealing with dealership service costs and difficulty of appointments. Then I met Christian.
