Masters European is the best auto repair shop around. Both Keith and Lee treat their customers with such kindness and respect - its always a pleasure doing business with them. Their prices are honest, they are clear and thorough when breaking down the scope of a job and the mechanics work is truly excellent. I never doubt the safety of my car because of the solid work they do. If all businesses could be more like Masters, the world would be a better place.

Masters is so reliable. No matter if I just drop in, they drop what theyre doing to help me. They schedule me quickly, provide detailed info up front, give good advice, and are always kind and pleasant to deal with. Its a relief to know they are right nearby whenever I need them.

If you are looking for excellent service by highly competent mechanics, look no further than Masters in Mill Valley. They are simply outstanding. In fact, I won’t go anywhere else. So, whenever my car needs service, I drive from San Francisco to Masters in Mill Valley. Service is always performed punctually and the prices are reasonable. I give my highest recommendation to Mastes.

Keith and the Masters staff have done all servicing and repair of my Porsche 997 since Ive owned the car. Recently they completed a complete engine removal and replacement. They also spent over a year of haggling with my warranty company which had a happy ending. In all honesty, I dont know of any other car service shop that would have taken on this project. Masters the rare business that understands that customer service and satisfaction which results in positive reviews and a loyal following. I cannot thank them enough for their service. The repaired car is fantastic and I will be a lifelong customer.

Working with Masters is always a wonderful experience. Their customer service, communication and knowledge is always the top of the line. I drive there from Napa as I as trust them so much with my car.

If the rest of the world ran the way Masters European does, it would be a fabulous thing. The most important consideration in fine-auto repair is trust, and I have trusted Masters European for years with multiple cars. Management is genuinely service-oriented, deeply knowledgeable, detailed in explaining problems and options for solution, great at communicating, and dedicated to complete customer satisfaction. The repair work is superb, and always done on time. This review may read like Im a relative or paid booster, but Im just a very satisfied customer who knows that when a car needs work, Masters can be counted on to do the right thing, by the car and by me.

Masters has been great. Used to go to Marin Acura but these guys do better work at a fairer price and are transparent and communicative. Highly recommend.

Masters European has serviced my Audis for many years after warranties from dealerships expire. They are my go-to auto repair business. Keith is terrific and they always do a top-notch job. Thank you!

My old car was dying and needed work. The gentlemen at this shop was communicative, honest, empathic and ultimately advised I get rid of the car when he could have convinced me to do a lot of work for a lot of money. He was honest in telling me how long my car would have left if I did the work, and that he couldn’t guarantee it’s livelihood. I was very impressed with the level of professionalism and would come back in a heart beat.

Saved me $6,000! Keith and team are amazing!I’ve been taking my vehicles here for several years. The quality and level of attention to customers is top notch.Recently my car was in due to what we thought was the fuel pump. They diagnosed it, suggested that I take it to the dealership because it was still in warranty for a couple of months, and charged me nothing for the diagnosis. I got a rebuilt engine from the dealership under warranty which would have been $6k had it not been for the redirect to the dealership.I’ve had many good experiences with them, this is just one. These folks are on top of it and really care.

I’ve been taking my cars here for service and repairs for almost 20 years, and they’ve always been fantastic. Totally reliable, always friendly, and completely trustworthy. An old-fashioned family-owned business that treats their customers right and never fails to put in the extra effort no matter what the issue is.

Ive been going to Masters for many years and have always received top-notch service. These guys are my go-to guys for everything that has to do with my cars.

Masters as a business and their staff as a team continue serving excellent automobile workmanship day in and day out.Just recently, I had a major repair to my beloved machine and with grace they handled my concerns and fixed them accordingly.I am now lucky enough to have my elderly, almost twenty-year-old, Mercedes driving as if just off the lot and I have this shop to thank!I recommend them for a seamless experience from start to finish on any repair or check-up.Thank you, Keith, Leigh, and Team!

I have a 2010 BMW 535i wagon. I had a big problem where and oil leak quickly compromised my drive belt, which broke and damaged the oil pan, gaskets, suspension, and other parts of my car. Thinking it would be the best option, I brought my BMW to a BMW store for repairs. Both BMW Mountain View and BMW Marin failed to fix the leak, leading to further damage. When I realized I needed to go in a third time to fix my car, I gave up on BMW and came to Master’s European. These guys are fantastic. They walked me through a diagnostic for free, catching issues that BMW completely missed, and fixed my car perfectly. I had a concern that the oil leak was still happening and they offered to redo their job for free, something BMW would never do. Turns out there was no leak though, Master’s European tuned my car perfectly the first time. The service was also fantastic, I love the folks that run Master’s. I won’t be going anywhere else for repairs in the future. These guys are incredibly competent and have earned my trust.

Weve used Masters for almost 20 years and have always been confident that they had done a good job at a reasonable price. Weve moved away recently and cant use their services anymore, which is one of the things I regret about moving.

These guys are great. For years I took my car to the Acura dealer for service. Then I got smart and moved to Masters. They do a great job for a consistently better price. More importantly, I dont feel like theyre trying to scam me for additional service work.

Ive had all my cars serviced at Masters for a few years now. Keith is always professional and takes the time explain the work needed. I aways appreciate that he also provides options of what should be done now vs deferred and the implications for doing now vs waiting. I highly recommend this business.

My former mechanic had closed shop and I needed a new one I could trust. Masters was highly recommended by neighbors on Nextdoor and they were right. Good, honest and thorough service on my Eurovan. They will be my go-to from here on.

Ive been going to Masters for many years and have always experienced excellent service. Their explanations of needed services are always straight forwarded. They know you and they know your car. When an emergency repair is needed they will fit you in. I recommend them without hesitation. I recently lost a hearing aid in between the seat and console where it was not visible. Masters bailed me out by finding it using a dip stick after some maneuvering and didnt charge for the service.

Very friendly and professional. Everyone makes you feel welcome and like a friend and neighbor, not a number.They fix the issue and alert you to other conditions that may need attention without a hard sell.Good to have a trustworthy neighborhood expert.

Review №38

These guys are terrific. A family owned and managed business they are patient and expert with any problem you can throw at them. They have worked on our Chrysler, Porsche and Mercedes and have kept each in tip top shape. I would by far rather go to Masters than to the car dealerships that so often way overcharge for routine maintenance. Masters does what is needed and they explain their work clearly. Most importantly, they are fair and honest. What more can I say.....

Keith and Leigh are great at explaining what needs to be done in order to fix the problem at hand with your car. They are very professional and keep in mind your budget and future repairs if any are needed. I have a BMW and I trust them with my car, they are very knowledgeable with these cars, inside and out. Dont hesitate to take your car for repairs or maintenance to Masters.

Ive been taking my cars here for 10 years. I love this family run business. They are very knowledgeable, take pride in their work, and care about your vehicle. Keith is a top-notch communicator and always tells me what repairs are approaching. Their prices are in line with the going rates for European cars, less expensive than the dealer and much better service than Sonnen BMW(who in my experience are not only expensive but rude and unhelpful).

Review №58

Absolutely great service by friendly and knowledgable people. Ive always taken the car to the dealer for service but that is no longer necessary. They were quick, the price was reasonable and they found the least expensive solution to the problem.I highly recommend Masters and will use them again for problems and routine service from now on.

Review №59

I brought in my Volkswagen Eurovan which turned out to have a misfiring cylinder. They diagnosed the problem as an ignition wire and fixed it and communicated the issue very clearly to me along the way. Once I got the van back the next day I encountered the same issue so I brought it back. Keith was very empathetic and quickly diagnosed the issue as an additional part of the ignition system. They fixed that within a couple of hours free-of-charge and I was on my way! They also discovered an issue with the rear brakes that required a more thorough fix than just new rotors and pads. Im very grateful for their thorough evaluation, great communication, and execution of promises made.

These guys know what they are doing and boy are they knowledgeable! They have worked with me on my undescisivnes of bringing my M3 to BMW or with them and boy am i glad i let them do the work. They helped me through all the questions i had ( I can be annoying at times) and when the deal was done, Mark called me after 2 days and said that i could save some money because some of the parts were not needed! Where do you find a garage that wants to save you money? I had even left a whole maintenance kit in my trunk which they found and placed it in my car without charging me for it! Mat knows these engines and i can only be appreciative of what theyve done and stand for in a world of unfairness. This will be my garage to go to whatever the case may be. I cannot thank you enough for being so fair and straightforward and good at what you do!
