As long as Chris is here, this place has my complete trust in taking care of my vehicles. You can be entirely confident you will not be taken advantage of and you will receive impeccable service. Chris and his team are incredibly thorough, and will be honest when they aren’t the best place for your specific issue.

Having an imported car doesnt mean you have to be taken advantage of by the dealership. Chris and his crew at Motor Works are honest, friendly, and reliable. You have certainly earned a repeat customer and will be sure to refer anyone who has a euro import.

The Motor Works is a terrific shop. Owner Chris has put together a professional, accommodating, and talented team. The service is excellent, with a written estimate provided before he undertakes the project. I have taken vintage Porsches to The Motor Works and am always very satisfied.

Alex & his crew are fantastic! Over the last 2 years, they rebuilt the engine and transmission on my 86 Syncro as well as some smaller projects. They are extremely resourceful, knowledgeable, communicative, and trustworthy - Alex will always take the time to explain what is going on and find a solution that works for you. Alex is great at debugging and explaining things about vanagons, and their whole operation is organized and fairly priced as well.

The staff at Motor Works were very friendly and helpful, and my new tires are working great. The service was very efficient; I really appreciated not being stuck there all day! (And it didnt hurt that there was an adorable puppy in the office when I visited the first time)

As always, fast, courteous, friendly and super convenient. These guys know their stuff!! Highly recommended.10/17/2019 visit:Great as always. Everyone is always so friendly and courteous. In this case, the tech found an issue that would have eventually caused serious damage to the car and possibly an accident. Many thanks for being so thorough. Car was delivered back to me on-time and in perfect working order. It’s a pleasure to continue doing business with The Motor Works.

I dont trust just anybody doing any sort of work on my car unless I can truly trust them. The Motor Works Inc. I can fully trust. They have cheaper prices for work done than the dealer and specialize in Euro vehicles. Its a very welcoming environment as soon as you walk in. They offered me coffee while I waited. They even have a referral program! What other mechanic that does quality work for less, does this? No one! I completely recommend this business if you need work done.Recommended

I felt like I got great service here and it was an excellent alternative to the local VW dealership. I really felt like they were telling me everything I needed to know and didnt once feel like I was being talked into work I didnt need to pay for. Chris also took the time to go out and show me under the hood exactly where the problem was and what to look out for. I will definitely be returning to their shop for any future work I may need on my car.

I don’t usually write reviews for anyone, however, my experience at The Motor Works has been so excellent, I had to write one. The team is nothing but pros that actually care about doing a good job. The Motor Works is a fair mechanic as well, offering some of the best and most competitive prices here in Winston. They truly are the dealership alternative!

Wonderful experience!! This was my first visit to The Motor Works. They make having to take your car to be worked on, less painful. They show you on paper what they are going to do with exact quotes that you feel are very fair, compared to dealerships. They also offered me a loaner car so that I wouldnt have to wait for the service. I am so happy to have found a new place to service my car that I trust!! Thank you!!

I have always trusted The Motor Works to perform routine service and emergency repair of my BMW 328i. They always take the time to show me what is wrong and tell me how much the estimated repairs will be before any action is taken. I love that The Motor Works provide me with a loaner vehicle when at all possible. Their work is top notch and the prices are very fair. They treat their customers with the utmost respect; as well as, caring for my car as if I was the only customer there.Jim P.Winston-Salem, NC

Customer Service is superb at Motor Works. Everyone is very pleasant and helpful when you walk in the door. The loaner car is definitely a plus to alleviate the hassle of transportation. They always make sure you are satisfied. I had rough idling when I went in for service and left with the problem fixed!! I then purchased a set of Michelin for my 2002 BMW and it rides like it is brand new. The only difference is I hold the title.!!!!!!Gracie BrownWinston Salem

Review №17

Simply, the professionalism of staff. Cleanliness of the facility. KNOWLEDGE of staff. Accomodating tendencies to meet any / all Customer needs.Recently transplanted from California, I have several enthusiast automobiles including a 1969 Porsche 912, 1974 Porsche 914 2.0, and as a somewhat more frequent driver, 2016 Mazda MX5 Club Sport. All are original and essentially pristine condition. My 50+ years of performance automotive ownership, combined with 25+ years as a Naval Aviation Maintenance Officer, my expectations for vehicle service / maintenance, may border on obsessive. I absolutely insistence upon diligence and honesty in regard to paying an individual or facility to complete any service to my automobiles that I do not accomplish myself. The Motor Works Inc., certainly met my microscopic expectations, instilling confidence from the initial telephone contact. The significant service completed upon my MX5 was exceptional. Its important for me and perhaps others, this 2016 MX5 is still within factory warranty, yet, I trusted The Motor Works Inc., to perform the service, more professionally, than any dealership in NC. Well done gentlemen...well done!

I love this shop. They are straight up honest and their prices are fair. I always feel I get what I pay for. The employees are delightful, professional, courteous and kind, but they dont blow smoke. They tell it like it is. When youre in, youre in. I feel like Im part of the Motor Works family.

Review №19

I came to Motor Works for a second option on a previous repair of my Subarus clutch and bearings. Bill assessed the situation and took the time to explain, using old parts, how the clutch and bearings work. He empowered me with enough knowledge to feel confident to go back to my previous mechanic to discuss the issue. Ends up it was a defective release bearing, as Bill suspected, and my mechanic repaired the issue at no additional cost. My car is running perfectly now. Thank you for treating me as an intelligent woman who could understand. I will recommend your business to others and consider services for my Subaru in the future. .

Technical service better than dealers. Customer service better than dealers. They benefit from almost zero turnover in their workforce both in the front office and the wonderful crew doing the service work. I cannot recall in over 20 years of going there, ever needing to take a vehicle back. These folks are diamonds among the auto service industry.

Time for Euro Lube service, new battery, and brake fluid flush on my 1997 E420 that I bought new in 1997. Thanks to great service by The Motor Works team over the last ten years, my Benz is still going strong after 21 years and 188,000 miles.Integrity, competence and professionalism is just the way the friendly folks at The Motor Works do business.

My elderly BMW needed some TLC. I had been hesitant to take her anywhere for a checkup as I didnt trust anyone with her. Wow - sure wish I had taken her to The Motor Works sooner. From the front office staff to the mechanics to the loaner car - it was a great experience for me and my girl. Explanations and estimates were given along the way and it ensured me that I would be able to continue to drive her for a lot more miles! Very professional and impressive operation. Ive found a new home for my auto needs!

Great service and friendly people; cant ask for anything more when it comes to getting your vehicle fixed up. There is a real family atmosphere to this shop and it really shows. I would gladly drive several hundred miles to see the folks at The Motor Works rather than taking it to some chain operation. Theyll be honest and fair in telling you what the issue actually is, and theyll make sure the work is done right the first time. Love this shop!

Review №32

Weve been customers of The Motor Works for decades now. Their service is simply the best! In the many years we have known the staff, they are always trustworthy, courteous, and go the extra mile. I have learned to really trust their advice on our vehicles and listen when they have recommendations. For example, one of our cars had to go to the dealership for a very specific repair. I came out of there with a list of $10,000 worth of things I was told needed to be done immediately. I brought the list back to The Motor Works and they were able to check our car and found that none of the things on the dealers list needed to be done for quite a while! We never want to go anywhere else.

I have found my trusted mechanic with the The Motor Works. I find it to be a good sign when you walk into the shop with what you think you need, and they say ok, inspect the car, and come back to you saying that a few of the services are unnecessary, and would be a waste of your money.Everyone at this shop is great, from the front desk staff to the actual mechanics. They will answer any and all questions that you have, and will answer them truthfully. I love coming to these guys for car maintenance, and Ill come to them for as long as I live in the area.

There are 2 businesses in this country that still know what real customer service is all about... The Motor Works and Verizon! The Motor Works is #1!!! They attend to every detail with precision and professionalism; they make relevant, practical recommendations and follow up with communications without selling you on unnecessary repairs that they invented, like some Dealers do. Great job!!!

Had the brake light come on in BMW over the weekend. Went to The Motor Works as soon as they opened on the following Monday. They were quick to work me into the busy schedule and were even able to provide a loaner car if needed. I was able to wait on car once they got the part and continue my busy day with only a minor interruption, instead of having to take the whole day to take care of the issue

I needed tires for my BMW and the Motor Works was recommended by a friend. I talked with Chris on the phone and he recommended some Michelin tires. I brought my car in the next day and they had the tires on that day. I couldnt be happier with the new tires. they are much better than the OEM run flats I had on the car. Their recommendation was spot on and their service was fast and Chris and the whole staff was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend.

This is the Best european import auto repair shop in the Triad, i promise. After a couple of less than stellar experiences at other places, i finally found a group of mechanics that i can trust. They spent the time to figure out the Real underlying problems, found the most fair and cost effective solutions and even provided me with a Free loaner car while they worked on my vehicle. And what made the experience even better was Chris, their mechanic liaison, who communicated to me in simple terms what the plan of action would be throughout the entire repair process until my car was returned to me. He went out of his way to make everything be a positive experience during a potentially stressful situation.And so to all who have wondered where to take your car where they treat you with respect and fairness...just head to The Motor Works... they will take care of you honestly.

After inspecting my breaks I was given an estimate for having the job completed the same day and if I were to wait to pick the car up the next day. The next day estimate was lower with a preferred part listed. I went with the next day estimate because they were had a car available for me to drive, which was prefect since they are located in Winston Salem, I live in Mocksville and work in Lexington. I didnt have to arrange for other transportation. They were extremely patient when I had a hiccup at work and had to return the loaner vehicle after hours. I appreciated that the beyond words.

I was in the area visiting for work when i realized i needed an oil change and routine check-up. I was tired of the shoddy work and ridiculous rates charged by the national chains so was pleasantly surprised to discover the Motor Works who not only possessed a personal touch and comfortable atmosphere but their professionalism and competence impressed me and their more then reasonable rates sealed the deal. Despite knowing that i was an out of towner (in which repeat business would be unlikely) they did not hesitate to go the extra mile and go above and beyond with their service. If u live in the area or u are simply passing thru i HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Motor Works because their personal touch and exemplary service will make u realize why companies such as these are the backbone of this country.

So I try very hard to use local business and not national chains. I found motorworks when I was looking for tires for my wifes car. Chris was knowledgeable and talked with me about a set of Michelins. We setup an appointment and I told him I would wait while they were doing the install. He said no problem, be here at 8:15 and the guys will get right on it. I get a text message two days prior to the appointment stating 8:30 and I confirm. I show up on time at 8:15 and the woman behind the counter says that it will be 9:30 until they get to it. Whats the point of confirming an appointment if your not going to honor it? My time is important too.Ill find another local garage that wants my business.

This rating is long overdue.. but I take back my 5 star and give this 1 star rating due to the way this place treated me. Not only will they take weeks to finish the smallest tasks on your car, but they will charge more than triple what the price should cost (just bc its a Porsche, etc.), and then they will leave parts unplugged so that your car only runs on 3 cylinders incase you opt out to pay their ridiculous prices. There are tons of better options in the Winston area, depending on what your driving... but please avoid this place. They are crooked and they make a killing off people.They also get you by giving you $20 off for rating them on here, so thats how their google rating is so high..

True To Their Word - In February, I had to replace all four tires on my 2011 BMW 328i. I chose to go with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3+ 94Y. The Motor Works offers Free Road Hazard Warranty on tires purchased from them. Thank goodness they do because just this week I needed to use the Road Hazard Warranty due to a very large Hex Washer Head Sheet Metal Screw that punctured my tire and caused very severe damage.I called Elyse and she was very reassuring about the Road Hazard Warranty and was able to save a free loaner car for me. Elyse didnt know that she was on speaker phone and my fellow colleagues heard how professional and kind she was. They asked if I was always treated so nicely by The Motor Works staff. I told them that I have always been treated this way. They were amazed and were particularly amazed about the free loaner car for me to use.My car was ready to go the next day. I was greeted with smiles by Chris and Bev who had me in and out in minutes. The only costs were for the mount and balance of the new tire and the new windshield wiper blades that I asked to be installed while the car was there. They were true to their word and honored the Road Hazard Warranty just like they said they would when I originally purchased the tires.I have said in previous reviews that I have always been treated like I was the only customer that they were working with and that I was a member of their family. It was no different this time around and I truly consider all three a part of my extended family.Jim Pittman Winston-Salem, NC2011 BMW 328iMount and RoadForce balance one new tire under TCI Road Hazard WarrantyR and R wiper blade assemblie(s), front and rear Clean windshield.~The left front tire was replaced under the Road Hazard Warranty. ~The wiper blades were replaced.
