Valley Motorwerks in
Rancho Cordova (CA)

I was new to the area and needed to find a new indie for my BMW's and tried Valley Motorwerks due to other reviews. I was not disappointed. I will be going back for all my service needs.

Valley Motorwerks have been servicing my Audi A5 for three years now. They are very knowledgeable and responsive to my needs. They provide excellent workmanship.

Love this place, everyone is friendly and knows what they’re doing. Cool shop dog walking around too sometimes

Had our 2015 Mini in for repairs. Valley Motorwerks was excellent on our repairs. Kept us completely informed at all times and repairs were done at a fair price.

My husband and I have been looking for a shop that specializes in European cars and I found this shop online. My husband took in our 2003 BMW X5 for window and door issues. We had this fixed elsewhere few monrhs ago and obviously they didn't do a good job. So glad we found this shop and we are extremely happy customers. My husband was the one who interacted with them and they were awesome. Customer service was just great and they seem very honest and really knowledgeable of the issues. They had some great feedbacks on certain things we need fixed and best believe we are going back to them. The vibe he got from them was nothing like we had at other shops. Just friendly and really had the customers in mind. The work was great and no complaints. We have another European car we will definitely bring to them again. Pricing was

This shop strives for excellence with customer service and workmanship. Friendly knowledgeable staff. This is my shop for all the service needs for my BMW. Great work Team!

Came in for alignment and corner balance. I'm very satisfied with Clint's fine tune on my Datsun. Exceptional service. Brian at front desk was very helpful. Overall 10/10. Would highly recommended. Thank you Valley Motorwerks, will definitely be coming back. Updated (7/21/25): Came back in for a corner balance and alignment, and as always, the service was top-notch. I'm extremely satisfied with the results and truly appreciate the professionalism and attention to detail. Looking forward to coming back again—highly recommend! Thank you, Valley Motorwerks!

Did a great job finding and fixing our transmission cooler leak and control arm bushing issue! Fast and friendly, very knowledgeable with European cars.

Owner has been taking care of my BMWs for over 20 years. I still have two BMW and we only trust the owner To care for my cars

I recently returned to Sacramento after living in LA for 25 yrs. The check engine light came on in my BMW X5. I called Valley Motorwerks and got an appt for the following day. They diagnosed and repaired the problem in a timely fashion. The shop was easy to find, had ample parking and was clean. I dealt with Brian, who is courteous and a true professional. I highly recommend Valley Motorwerks for BMW repairs.

said they couldn’t do an inspection on my car because i had old parts in the trunk and back seat. asked them to please tell me how this effects the engine and they said they don’t want to work on a “rats nest of a car”. highly do not recommend. will find excuses to not work on your car!

thanks for your fine work. I sent you a text but I am not sure it went thru'. Brian is a real asset 4 for your front desk. He is concerned, polite, helpful and has gained knowledge about your services/products. I hope I don't see you for a long time... it's not that I don't love you but my old girl needs to show me some love and not need to be in your shop for a long haul. I love her, but enough is enough.... she is an expensive hobby. Thanks

Professional service, clean shop, and friendly people. They serviced my AMG and mounted tires. Fast, easy, and at a good price. There was even a friendly shop dog. Would recommend.

Second Review 2024: Not too long ago(end of Septempter 2024) I took my VW back to Valley Motorwerks to resolve some concerning issues with cooling system. As you can see from my review 5 years ago, I had some good things to say! I am happy to report that nothing has changed in that opinion! Dave and crew really took care of me during this visit, just as they have in the past. Valley Motorwerks, works fast, charges appropriate rates, and is no-nonsense while still making sure their customers are receiving quality work. It appears that I don't visit for repairs too often, as I haven't had any other major issues since my last visit; but I do know that each time I go the service and work will be above par! Still 5 Stars. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just recently took my 2012 VW Golf into Valley Motorwerks in the beginning of March. I decided to try them out because the shop is close to my house and I had a less than preferred experience at another local German shop. I had let Dave know that my big concern was lack of communication about what was going on with my repairs with the previous shop. I was extremely please with Dave's communication! He called me to update on a regular basis and explained everything that was going on. Dave also took the time to really figure out what was wrong with my vehicle and not just throw parts at it. In the end I had some major parts replaced. I feel I was charged an appropriate amount and quality work was done. If any other issues arise I feel Valley Motorwerks will do their best to take care of me and my vehicle.

Well equipped shop with great staff. They were willing to sort out an alignment that many other shops had no idea how to manage (custom car). It’s great to find a shop that understands how to do the job, instead of how to follow a script.

This was my first time having custom work done by Valley Motorwerks/Kontrolle Engineering and they did a phenomenal job with my 1971 Toyota Corolla. Clint is an excellent fabricator and he built the roll cage to my exact requirements. The cage fits tightly inside the car and does not feel cramp. He also mounted my Sparco bucket seats on custom brackets which allows for the use of sliders and the seats now sit much lower than the stock configuration. Overall communication on project timing and prices between Dave and Clint was great. For my Corolla I asked for them to work with their preferred paint shop to get repairs done to the hood and paint the cage, engine bay, interior, and trunk as well.

I have been using Dave and Crew at VMW for years. Recently took my 340i in for a funny rear end noise. The problem was diagnosed with a 30 second test drive and repaired in less than 24 hours. I can’t say enough good about the friendly service and reasonable pricing. Satified customer for life.

Very happy with the help received from Clint and Brian for my 335i that needed some major tuning up! They were helpful explaining all of the issues and needed repairs along with tips and advice. I was nervous about working with a new mechanic shop, but they earned my confidence and respect for their knowledge and honest evaluation. Happy to be a customer.

Finally found someone who could align my 2017 NSX. This is a race shop with extensive experience in auto racing. There is no one better to service a sports car or race car in the Sacramento area. Believe me I have called around and no one has the experience That Valley auto Alignment has. Would not trust anyone other than them to work on my NSX. Cannot be more pleased with the outcome. Personnel are kind and very experienced. Five stars for sure. Thank you everyone.

Great work and very educated guys. They set up my e90 for a full race alignment and I love how it looks and handles. Good place to have both regular maintenance done but also custom work! Definitely the guys you want to go to if you want your BMW treated right 👍🏻

Dave, Clint and Brian always treat me and, more importantly, my 2008 Z4 very well. The Z4 has 110k miles on it and runs like new. So glad I found your shop, many thanks. Chris S

I am so glad I have an alternative for VW servicing in the area after Folsom Lake VW closed and I got a few extreme quotes from the Arden dealership location for service. I thought the pricing was extremely reasonable, the service was a fast turnaround for my 2015 Jetta and the staff there was very friendly. I don't usually feel comfortable as a woman alone in auto body shops, but I did at Valley Motorwerks!

Have used the team at Motorwerks several times over the years. Always appreciate their attention to detail, good workmanship, timely delivery, and fair pricing. Never had any issues with their services and repairs that have been performed, but have confidence they would address it immediately otherwise. I will continue to send my cars there for any additional service and/or repairs.

My Mini Cooper S was needing some attention a few months back and my go to shop at the time wasn’t s addressing the issues I asked them to so it was time for a change. My daughter remembered reading about this shop so I decided to give them a try. They did not disappoint and addressed all the issues I brought to their attention as well as provided me with a list of items to take care of to keep my car running for years to come as I requested. The owner, the service coordinator and the mechanic who worked on my Mini were all really nice folks who I look forward to working with again!

Dave and the guys at Valley Motorwerks did and excellent job diagnosing my BMW and have a fair estimate for repair costs while always keeping me updated about the car. Excellent crew and would highly recommend as a great alternative to the dealership.

Clint is a great mechanic. He is polite, well mannered, answers and explains clearly what I need to know that's troubling my car and the parts it need to fix the problem. They gave me the best service with the best smile. Dave, the owner is a nice guy as well, he let me wait in the waiting area while his staff is working on my car. The problem is solved. Trust this guys, small talks but do great jobs. Satisfaction guaranteed!

I've taken my car in several times over the past 3 years and have always received great service. Dave and his team are very knowledgeable and professional. The inform me of the work to be done and keep my car running great. I have a 2002 325i with over 140,000 miles and it drives great. I will continue to bring my car to Dave to keep me on the road.
