I found this shop online after my 2013 Audi A6 started overheating. On my initial call, I talked to the owner Tim and he gave me good advice about what to watch out for with the overheating issue before I even committed to taking my car to them, which I feel most shops would not do IMO. Everything was explained to me very thoroughly after the diagnostic was completed by Ty the main mechanic. Luckily, the majority of the work was covered by my extended warranty and the items that werent the owner worked with me on cost and labor. I would definitely recommend these guys if you have an Audi or VW. A++++

Great customer service from Tim and Tai. Honest mechanics with lots of experience in German cars. They may not be the cheapest in town but here youre paying for solutions, not guess work like at other shops. Quality work will save you money in the long run. Also, their guarantee is solid, I even got my money back one time when it was going to be more expensive to fix my a/c than to replace my good old Audi. Thank you for always keeping my A4 up and running. I recently bought a VW so Im planning to come back soon for a scheduled service.

This is the shop you want to be taking your Audi or Volkswagen to. They are a pleasure to do business with, they communicate well, and most importantly, they pour their passion into every car they work on. Save some money on the dealership service and let these guys take better care of your car than any dealership will.

I have an Audi Q7 that is recently out of warranty and I have been looking for the best independent shop for my on-going service. As I happened to be close today - I took a shot at seeing if they could fit me in (with no notice) and they did just that. All I needed was an oil change and that’s exactly what I got. No up selling. No “look out you have a problem” stories. Just a quick oil change at a very competitive price and I had my Q7 back in no time at all. I will be back!

THESE guys are THE BEST!!! I have taken my car to so many different places over the years and Beach house Imports is by far the greatest, across the board! Honest, friendly, professional, they work fast and keep you in the loop with everything! I love the convenience of the car drop off after hours so accommodate anyones schedule.The turn around time on getting my car is always fast and they even changed my clock to the correct time in my car without me having to tell them!! great guys, great business!

Amazing place to go to and the work they do there is beyond phenomenal!!! The guys I worked with aren’t just kind and charismatic, but they provide the utmost quality to their work. I would definitely recommend this as a go-to place no matter how minor or major the issue is on your vehicle 😁.

My family owned one A4 and two Q5. Audi is a great brand, however it comes with some very expensive and difficult repair issues. 10 years ago, our A4 had continuous variable transmission issue. Tim helped me to replace new one at a very reasonable price, far below dealers cost. Today, Tim did again, our 2012 Q5 had timing chain problem which is extremely labor intensive and expensive to replace. Tim and his team took great patience, identified several convoluted issues and solve extremely technical problem. Even better the price Tim charged is far below dealers.I dealt with Tim almost 15 years. Tim never disappointed me once. I strongly recommend Beach House Imports for quality service at reasonable price. You are in good hands !

The most important thing to me when taking my car to a mechanic is trust. I want to feel like Im not being cheated and that the shop owners are transparent, sincere, and know what theyre doing. Ty and his team exceed on all marks! Theyre professional, reliable, and offer very fair prices. Thats why I dont take my Audi TT anywhere else.

I have been a customer of Beach Hose Imports for over 10 years. Honest, direct, good work by good people - basically a 1000% better experience than the dealer.

Ty and the rest of the staff at Beach House are great. Communicative, transparent (they even showed me the broken/worn parts they took off) and their pricing is fair. If you have an Audi out of warranty, don’t bother going anywhere else but here.

Amazing place. I am skeptical of mechanics, but this place was great. Got a fix it ticket for a break light that was out and when I called for an appointment, he told me to come immediately. Within 5 minutes he changed the bulb and checked my tire pressure. Will definitely come back.

Beach House Imports is an amazing place to have your vehicle serviced. The level of customer service from start to finish is impeccable. I recently had my Allroad serviced by Beach House and they went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure that i was taken care of, and at a decent rate. The suspension service that I had done would have been double at Commonwealth Audi. The owner really went above and beyond to make sure that I am a customer for life. Do not hesitate to take your car to them, give it a try I dont think you will regret it. These guys also know what they are talking about, and try to make expensive car repairs a little less painful.

I was recommended to Tim at Beach House Imports over 10 years ago and its the only place Ive taken my Audis ever since. Tim and his staff are GREAT! They really know their stuff and explain everything in detail; I recommend everyone to them! The service is fantastic; the shop and waiting room is clean, orderly and very nice! Go to Beach House Imports - they are the BEST!

After 7 years finding Beach House, I will never go anywhere else for my Audi service needs. Tim and Tye are very honest and upfront with regards to what my cars need. The service techs Ben and Joe all make up a team that have integrity and what they provide is always above and beyond my expectations.I have an S8, a A6 2.7T and an A5 S-line no other shops are allowed to touch them, especially the S8.C.

As an owner of numerous VWs and Audis over the past 20 years I highly recommend Beach House Imports. Tim and his team have always been efficient and cost effective in repairs and servicing. Its rare to find a auto repair company that continues to deliver the very best in customer service and the expertise of certified mechanics.

Took my audi to another shop when i knew beach house imports was the right place to take it, but didnt because of the distance. They had serviced it before and i was impressed from the start. But still I took it to the other shop and they had it for a week and had no idea what was wrong with it. They were charging me for it. I took my car out of that shop and now my car didnt start at all. I was so upset but it was my fault for not going to beach house imports. Had it towed to beach house imports and they knew what was wrong with it, day one! Got it repaired and the car runs great, and like the time before a good price. TY and the team killed it, thank you! Customer for life. Although its an hour drive for us, well worth it.

Ive been taking my Audi A4 to Tim of Beach House Imports since probably around 2008, and hes always been somebody I know I can trust and does an outstanding job. You can tell he runs a tight operation and just is up front with what needs to be done to the car and always is happy to show you in person what needed to be fixed, hell show you the parts he repaired, etc.But recently his service went above and beyond. My transmission had been slipping for the last couple years, and all of a sudden my car would start stalling when I came to a stop. I assumed the transmission was dead and was about to just donate the car. But I decided to call Tim just in case, and he told me it didnt sound like a transmission issue and encouraged me to bring it in. Then I remembered I had run over something on the freeway the day before and thought perhaps that had something to do with the issue. Long story short, Tim helped me work with the insurance adjuster to complete about $800 worth of damage and the insurance covered it all! Thanks Tim, if it wasnt for you I wouldve donated my car and been really stressed out trying to find another car and deal with a new payment. If you have an Audi, Tim and Beach House Import is your place dont bother checking anywhere else!

As always Beach House Imports have helped me tremendously in the past and currently with my Audi, especially now its out of warranty. Super friendly service, honest pricing, straight to the point and I would recommend anyone to Tim and his great crew of mechanics!

About a year ago, the MIL popped up on my A4. Having been disgusted with both the pricing and professionalism of my local Audi stealerships, I decided to spend a week researching independent mechanics in the Orange County area. After many hours reading reviews and recommendations from sources all over the Internet - including all of the major Audi user forums - I decided to stop by Beach House Imports. Tim and his crew have all exceeded my expectations; I finally have an independent shop I can trust. I have so far been back for a malfunctioning clutch position switch, an oil change, rear brake pads and fluid flush, and a breather valve replacement. Every time they have done only the work that was necessary at fantastic prices, and never tried to upsell me to an unnecessary replacement or upgrade like the dealers. Tomorrow Ill be going in for my 75,000-mile service...and have just discovered that Beach House Imports also does APR tuning! Stage 1 ECU reflash, here I come. Ive already recommended them to family and friends (who are all also very satisfied), and Ill definitely be going back for all my future Audi maintenance and repair needs. Tim, youve made a customer for life out of me.

Businesses come and go, management and employees change, products and service offerings change… that is the normal cycle of business in America, especially in highly populated areas like Southern California. So when you find a business that consistently performs at the highest level and you are greeted by the same smiling faces each time you visit, you take notice.I was referred to Beach House Imports in the late 90’s I think… I was driving a late model Audi 100, one of several Audi’s and Volkswagens I have had over the years. Tim Bunning and his crew have taken care of all my cars since. I still find it amazing, amongst all the change that is typical in this area, that the same guys greet me every time. There is no other business that I go to in my 20 years in Orange County where I can say the same. Beach House Imports reminds me of the small town mechanics in my home town in central Illinois where everyone knows each other and your mechanic has been your family mechanic for 20-30 years or more.I was able to attend the Customer Appreciation Party and unveiling of the updated facilities at Beach House Imports last fall. The improved and expanded shop is beautiful, masculine, spacious, environmentally friendly, and surprisingly a great place for a customer appreciation party. (The shop should really be rented out for events and parties!) It was at that event where I was able to chat with other longtime customers, and learn more about some of the work Beach House Imports has been doing for other customers. What I learned sort of made my mouth water…They are not only repairing and servicing Audi’s and Volkswagen’s, they are taking new high performance Audi’s and making them even better! They had just taken an Audi TTS and upped the performance to give it enough G’s to literally make that smile on your face permanent, but perhaps making your look a bit like the Joker for all of eternity.It is that sort of rush and enthusiasm that makes guys like me buy Audi’s and VW’s in the first place. And it is that same passion that is shared by Tim and his crew.When you visit the facility you will be amazed by the cleanliness, the personnel and friendly environment. It is easy to see that Tim puts thought into everything he does. And with my 15+ years of experience as a customer, I can tell you that that is true and has been consistent the entire time.This week Tim and his crew are bringing new life to my aging VW GTI VR6. They have extended the life of my GTI several times now. I can still drive it hard and not worry. Beach House has my back.As I look towards my next new car purchase (maybe an S5?), you can bet that it will be an Audi and it will be serviced by Beach House Imports in Costa Mesa. Lucky for me they are right down the street. Every time I drive by I look in and smile, knowing that in there, is a team of guys that really like what they do, are passionate about Audi’s and Volkswagen’s, and that will never change.

These guys are the best. All very tight knit and originally wen to them for my APR Stage 1 mod. Ran perfect and I made a mistake by switching tuners (a deal I couldnt pass up with another tuner giving me the Bosch TT225s and free upgrade to the APR Stage 1+. Anyways, after going to APR Stage1+ from the other tuner I had my MIL Check Engine light come on in my Audi A4 B6. This put my car into limp mode and all the moey I dropped to get the power ($1,000.00) seemed worthless and I was SO bummed. Anyways, Joe from Beach House Imports called to check how my car was running and I explained the issue. Even after going to another tuner after using them he took time out of his day to let me stop by (same day) and scan and try to find the problem. He IMMEDIATELY noticed a missing vaccum hise between him and the owner Tim, plugged it in and fixed my car for free. These guys are honest, legit, and very knowledgable and kind. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to any AUDI/VW owners. Going back next week to work with them on my car and couldnt be more excited :) Best service out there!-Chad
