EXCELLENT Based on 111 reviews Posted on Google Ted MercedeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Wizard Werks through a post in the BMW Z4 group bragging about how good this shop was, and being fairly close, decided to have them do the work on my 2006 Z4. I had the valve cover gasket, water pump, thermostat, all the cooling lines, lower control arm bushings,1 Zeon headlight bulb, and replaced a broken front bumper mount. Saved me a lot of money and exceptional work, highly recommend! I was kept updated with status and photos of all that was wrong and all the work. No question on where to go.Posted on Google William RodriguezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. diagnosed my car in like 2hrs got it fixed and back on the same day highly recommend this shop especially if you got a BMWPosted on Google Kate CuznetovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the greatest experience at Wizard Werks! Needed to get my struts replaced and it took them just a day to order the parts and get it fixed.

Brought my 2004 BMW M3 to Wizard Works after I started getting a bunch of suspension noise over bumps and the steering just didn’t feel right. What made it even more frustrating was that I had just had brand new suspension installed by another shop about 200 miles earlier. Karim and his team took a look at it and figured out pretty quickly that the suspension had been installed incorrectly and the car hadn’t been properly aligned. Karim works on these cars all the time and had the parts needed on hand, so they were able to get everything fixed and turned around in a day. He even gave me a loaner for the day so I didn’t have to worry about getting home and back to the shop. The car feels completely different now. No more random suspension noises, the steering feels right again, and honestly it drives better than it ever has since I’ve owned it. Really appreciate Karim and everyone at Wizard Works for getting it sorted out so quickly. Definitely nice having a shop that actually knows these cars and can diagnose and fix things properly.Posted on Google Tom SerafinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They diagnosed front and strut replacement and control arm replacement and everything connected in between needed replacement after 120,000 miles. They performed it in one day which is testament to their strong understanding of VW cars. The pricing was competitive, the customer service impeccable, and most important the ride in my car afterwards was silky smooth.Posted on Google D WuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Car was overheating, great service and car inspection for a reasonable price
