So, so happy with the work done at Bay Motor Works! The work was expertly done, and my car BMW 335i rides like new again (despite being 10 yrs old) Clifford is a true professional and super communicative. Can’t ask for more - great work, great communications and fair prices. Thank you!

Cliff is a staple in BMW repairs in San Francisco. He has taken care of the family BMW car for over 10 years. He is a master at BMW repair and with short supply of good BMW techs in SF, he is the guy to go to. Cliff is also very friendly and does a fantastic job at breaking down the repair in laymans terms. If you need your BMW or Mini serviced, this is one of the best places to go to.

I have been taking my 2005 mini to Cliff for a few years now and he has been consistently great. I’ve certainly had plenty of things to repair on this little old beast. His small shop means less chaos and communication problems and newbies working on cars. He has experienced techs hworking on the cars and Cliff worked at a BMW dealership garage for years so he knows the mini/bmw stuff backwards and forwards. Great communication and work on the car.

Absolutely the BEST in California! I have been going to Cliff for years for my Mini Cooper and hes amazing. I first had taken my car to the Mini Dealership and I was absolutely shocked by the price and my friend recommended Cliff instead. Since then, I only go to him. Super trustworthy, responsive, and knowledgeable. Cant recommend him enough! If you have a BMW or Mini Cooper, dont look anywhere else - go to him!

I brought my BMW 650i after run flat tire disintegrated on the freeway, causing damage to rims, camera and pressure sensor. Cliff did an excellent job fixing the car with great quality, professionalism, timeliness and value. I will definitely be coming back for regular service and any other BMW repairs.

Because of my stubbornness, Ive decided to hang onto an old 1999 5 series wagon. Cliff, owner of Bay Motor Works, is great! Through issues, or regular maintenance, Cliff is always responsive and provides timely service at a great price.

Cliff and team are my go to all things BMW. I cant trust anyone else with my car other than with them. No up-selling at the fraction of dealership prices. I highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a local BMW specialist

Mr. Clifford Kwong, of Bay Motor Works is an excellent mechanic. Infuse with integrity and honesty. He and his team have showed ability or instinct to begin to follow through energetically with a plan to repair your vehicle. I left a repair shop of several years infuriated. Went to Bay Motor works, they check everything and brought it back to excellent running condition to my complete satisfaction. I highly recommend this shop, you can’t go wrong. Try them.

Cliff & his staff at Bay Motor Works are A1! He’s been my mechanic for over 10 years. He’s worked on my 01 325i, 07 X5 & my 14 435i. He’s very trustworthy & I will continue to bring my current & future cars to him.

After I found Bay Motor works, I stopped going to the dealership. Cliff and crew offers 1/2 the price, on-time estimates, fully transparent, and any major issue gets fixed once and doesn’t reoccur.

Review №17

Cliff and the team are exactly what I look for in any professional, trustworthy, transparent and efficient. The BMW dealer diagnosed an issue and found the absolutely most expensive solution. Cliff at Bay Motor Works looked at the same issue and found the accurate solution which cost 80% less. This level of honestly and trust is something sadly lacking from the authorized dealer and means I will use Bay Motor Works for all my future service needs

My experience with Bay Motor Works was the best I’ve ever had with a car repair service. The dealership had the car for 72 hours and couldn’t diagnose the problem. Clifford, the shop owner at Bay Motor Works, started testing the car on a Monday morning, called me right away with the diagnosis & cost and had my Mini fixed and ready to go by 2pm the same day. He explained that Mini drivers should check the oil every month and he taught me how to do it. He also advised me to keep an eye on the coolant. Clifford is knowledgeable, skilled, professional and personable. I will be taking my car to Bay Motor Works as long as I own it.PS Now the car is driving better than ever!

Ive been taking my 2000 BMW M5 to Bay Motor Works. Clifford is very communicative and does a great job explaining exactly what needs to be done. His work is great, and he always goes the extra mile to make sure things are done right. His prices are very reasonable, always a fraction of what the dealer would charge. I wouldnt take my BMW anywhere else.

I always have issues with keeping my car in alignment, generally have to do two a year. The dealership always just gets it within the spec range. Clifford and crew spend over an hour aligning the car getting it to drive just perfect. 8 years — and my car has never driven this well. Happy 2012 550i customer here.

I switched from the BMW Service to Bay Motor Works a few years ago and havent been happier. The service is great, the Cliff is knowledgeable and very honest. Unlike many other shops, I feel that Cliff recommends what he feels is necessary but doesnt push extra services that arent. I would highly recommend Bay Motor Works to anyone.

Clifford is an excellent mechanic, and even more importantly, a trustworthy tradesman. When unexpected issues happen, he will give you options and never push you. Changed a couple bulbs and sensors at no cost! He even offered his own vehicle as a loaner free of charge!

The inner roof, ceiling, headliner (?) of my car was disintegrating and falling off. Ugly. Somehow we found Mike at Bay Motor Works, and he worked a miracle on the inside of my 30 year old Toyota. A photo would not show the excellent work. Youll just have to trust me.

Our BMW at 110,000 miles. It runs great. Clifford is thoughtful about his work. His shop is not a managed health care operation. He know the customer and the car. Five stars from us.

Review №31

Cliff knows his business. He is considerate and polite, always willing to help and charges very reasonable prices.My BMW 528i was having a continued problem of the battery getting discharged continually. I had 2 other mechanics look at it. They replaced several parts, charged over $3000 and could not fix the problem. I was almost ready to sell the car for junk and I decided to take it to Cliff. Cliff assured me he could find the problem and he did exactly that. He took the time needed (more than 2-3 days) to nail down the problem to a faulty part and replaced the part. All for less than $600 with parts!I now take my car to Cliff and no other place. I strongly recommend him. THIS is what good business is all about!

Clifford is always honest and straight forward regarding repairs. My 2006 BMW is on its last miles and I will probably buy another one just so I can go to Bay Motor Works!

Cliff does top notch work for very reasonable prices. I have been bringing my BMW to him for years - at 200,000 miles, it still drives like a new car. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a very technically skilled mechanic.
