I’ve been taking my cars to CG for many years now and have only praise for them. They’ve consistently proven themselves as true BMW experts and are the only people... read more I trust with my car. Thank you CG!
I've been a CG customer for 25 years. Best shop in town without a doubt. If you want the best service for your BMW or VW, this is... read more the place to go.
Got work done here 4-5 years ago, just updating the review as google brought it up to me for some reason. People were nice but i do have to... read more say that they did work on the car before consulting me and then proceeded to charge me for the repairs that I did not approve. They did follow up offering free oil changes to makeup for it but just buyer beware for anyone coming here that they may do work on your car without consulting you, leaving you with a bill you were not prepared for. Again, staff was nice and did their best to makeup for it but still very odd practice.
They did my oil change, PS fluid and brake fluid and were super professional. They also did a inspection of my car and told me what they recommend I do.... read more They’re priced fairly above average but it’s because they warranty all of the work they do for two years and you know you are getting the most professional people to do the job. 10/10.
Big thank you to Will ( and Chris ) for finding a pair of KW replacement coil overs and doing a perfect job of replacing and aligning. ( yay -... read more no more rub hard turns to the left ! ) Can’t recommend these guys enough Til next time CG Casey Wickham ?
Very professional looking setup, super clean workshop and friendly staff. Took my x3 in here with an electrical issue, was struggling to start at times then battery was reading dead... read more on multimeter. Other times it would start then rough idle and die. Battery was less than a year old and tested fine. Charging system also came back fine so they suggested the starter motor was faulty and needed replacing.. Really? Didn't check parasitic current draw or anything else but they could swap the starter out that day for $1200. Needless to say I took it elsewhere for another opinion and it turned out the alternator had an intermittent problem and was replaced. It's been good for over a month now. Sorry but the tech who looked at this is either incompetent or trying to gouge. I'd take your car elsewhere.
Thanks to Will for consulting with me and solved all my concerns. I did a stage 2 tune for my BMW 228 here, very professional job done by their mechanics,... read more the power of my car has totally transformed. Also they provide free loaners car for costumers. You can actually see how professional they are by driving those old bmw loaner cars.
My car is over 23 years. A few weeks ago, the air conditioning system didn't work well, only blow out very mild wind. My friend introduced me to CG Motorsport.... read more I did take my car to them. Their service is good and fixed the problem very soon. And the price is. reasonable. Thanks a lot.
I am very happy with my service experience at CG Motorsports. My car required extensive repairs, and everything was fixed perfectly. The staff was very helpful in making sure all... read more of my needs were addressed. I even spoke with the owner Chris, who is really friendly and did whatever possible to make sure my vehicle received the best care. CG is a modern facility with highly experienced techs, friendly staff, and you receive the care and service only an independent small shop can give you. I highly recommend taking your BMW to CG Motorsports. If you have a classic BMW or a modern one, and you want the very best for your car, there isn’t any other place to go.
My go to BMW repair shop, I trust Chris and his team to fix my BMW 325i of over 200k+ km. Thanks Chris for keeping my car in such good... read more condition all these years and also much more affordable than the dealerships. I will recommend CG every time someone asked me about BMW repair!
*Excellent*. After a bunch of screwing around through mechanics. I finally decided to travel out to Richmond to get my BMW fixed. They were very quick to get me in... read more on a cancellation. Once in i told them what I thought the issue was, they called me back later that day to let me know that they checked it but the issue was actually coming from my valve cover. They sent out a handy form that allows you to see everything they’ve done along with what needs to be done and what has to be done. So I got my valve cover changed, new spark plugs. All in a couple of days. It was even done earlier than they told me it would be. Hands down great guys, car is running great! Hands down the only place to take your BMW!!!
What can I begin to say about these folks. Please save time and money. Skip going to the dealer and try these guys first. So, to start….a 645ci. Codes…oh so... read more many codes. And limp-modes. Took it to BMW. 2 months later (no, seriously…not kidding), I got the car back. They literally told me that they gave up on the car. They couldn’t fix it because a pile of modules had VIN numbers mismatch. I “limped” to CG. They replaced and reprogrammed modules. They changed the throttle body with a used unit. They worked on the wiring harness that was corroded. They kept the costs way down. They sure tried to help me. Seems the car was in the Chilliwack flood, before we bought it. And the spineless cockroach that sold us the car failed to disclose. But CG worked their magic. Will is a champ. Great service too.
I’ve had my fair share of experiences with service shops, most being bad, some being neutral. CG Motorsports stands out as phenomenal. From the easy booking process, to the quick... read more and swift repairs done professionally, this is the place to go for BMW service. Communication was super clear and done through an easy text messaging system. No nonsense, no upselling, just straightforward honest guidance from insightful experts. I’m only going to CG from now on. Met the owner Chris as well, hands on and clearly a great and honest human being.
Went to a Mini dealership for service and got quoted for over ~$4k for the repairs along with ~$400 for the inspection. Took my car to this place and they... read more charged me 20% less than what was quoted and was very transparent about being able to save on labour cost due to the area being worked on were overlapping. This was with a re-inspection added on top of that. Would definitely recommend.
Their arrogance is only upstaged by their dishonesty and incompetence. The one thing they are not bad at is charging high prices. I was going to tell the ridiculous storey... read more of my dealings with these guys ( including the lies of the Nerdy snowflake male receptionist) But it is just too long and stupid. If you want brain damage then go there. Very unprofessional.
I just bought a gorgeous used BMW from these guys and what a great experience it was. I could tell the moment I went into the front office that this... read more was a place full of people who love cars. 3 stunning restored sports cars in the garage office and beautiful car pics and parts on the wall! The mechanics coming in and out from the work area were friendly and professional. After showing me the car I had come to see, Chris - the owner - threw me the keys and let me take it for a test drive. I loved it and knew this was the car for me. But upon returning Chris insisted on showing me receipts for the work done, the history of the car and his own professional opinions, good and bad, of the car. He didn't have to do any of that - he had me at "so how did it drive?" Nice work, CG Motorsports.
After doing business with CG Motorsports, I have to say it was the most positive car interaction I've ever had. I recently purchased one of their cars which was traded... read more in from the previous owner. Chris helped me through the entire process and was incredibly professional, honest, and polite. The BMW I purchased had been serviced at CG for the past 11 years, which shows the positive relationships CG has with clientele. The car is absolutely mint, coming with full documentation and service history, and runs like a top. The store is incredibly clean and well decorated, and full of gorgeous BMWs. I will take my BMW to CG for any future repairs, and I would recommend CG to anyone I care about.
Chris, Mark, and the entire team at CG motorsports are the most professional, honest and friendly staff I have ever dealt with. Chris gave me an unreal deal on... read more my FRS and after driving it for several months, I absolutely love it and it has changed my life! Chris was unbelievably patient and really made it work for my budget, I felt really well taken care of on an individual basis. I had a small issue with the left blinker, which was my fault, so I called, brought it in and they fixed it the same day at no charge! Even if I was charged, I would never bring my vehicle anywhere else for service! CG motorsports for life! Moral of the story: the best service is priceless, even if it's free!
Honest, honest and knowledgeable for older and newer models. Great shop, great people and quality work done right. My car actually likes going there which is great however it does... read more cost me..LOL. (older BMW owner) Prices are fair for work rendered. One of the best BMW daycares I have been too. Thanks CG.
Absolutely terrible service. I had an inspection done and wanted to get a quote for the work they said needed to be done. I've called in four times now to... read more get the quote. The last person I spoke with was Mike, but the response is the same every time no matter who it is, "we'll have it emailed to you tomorrow for sure." Then zero updates and I have to call back a few days later for an update. Rinse and repeat. I wouldn't trust this place. If they're this incompetent at providing a quote for work to be done then I can only imagine how terrible they are at actually fixing cars and providing honest and accurate pricing for the work. Update: Finally got the quote and ended up doing some of the work needed. Was done in a timely matter and fairly close to the quoted cost. Happy with the actually work to the car so far. Will be doing more work and will provide another update.
I have had a mixed, but in the end an expensively poor experience with CG Motorsports. They grossly overcharged for parts (as in 70% more than I could purchase the... read more same parts on my own). The work they did had to be re-done by another shop. Part of the Supersprint exhaust system they installed fell off. The Evolve airbox I provided them disintegrated internally, and the manufacturer said they had never seen a failure like this. I picked up my car and 500m from their shop I got a Check Engine Light after they said they had test driven it. If you have a regular daily driver BMW with no special needs, then they might be a decent shop. I brought my car in for performance upgrades they said they could do. They were not able to perform the upgrades, and I had to get most of the work redone. I have since found a reliable shop that does performance work and I will never go back to CG Motorsports again. UPDATE: In response to the owner Chris' comments, I did not just buy a random software tune "over the internet". I am not sure if this is an effort to make me look like I was buying low quality oddball parts. I purchased the tune from Epic Motorsports a respected BMW tuner who has been in business for many years. I told CG Motorsports where I bought the tune from when I was making arrangements to have the work done. There was no issue raised prior to doing the work. My parts did not just fail 12 months after installation, the check engine light came on 500m out of their shop, and when I took it back for servicing after a few billable hours they could not solve it. The implication that the exhaust parts I provided were used is inaccurate. The headers and pipes were brand new high end exhaust parts. The part that fell off about 4 months after the work was done was part of the installation that CG performed. None of those failures can be attributed to used parts or tracking the car with regularity. The airbox was definitely a used part. I provided an air filter servicing kit and asked that they service the air filter and assumed that when they removed it for servicing they would inspect the inside of the airbox. They did not service the air filter, and they returned the service kit back to me unused. I don't know how long the interior of the airbox was damaged, and I agree this cannot be clearly attributed to their installation. If you have a performance car you want work done on, I caution that I had a poor experience with CG Motorsports. If you are having regular service or maintenance done on your street driven car, I think they are probably fine.
Don’t take your BMW to other shops that say they will do it for half the price. You will go into the loophole of fixing your car month after month.... read more I don’t let anyone work on my cars only my private mechanic. (but CG was amazing to me.) I was in BC and my pulley belt started having problems, these guys took me in quick fixed my original problem that I mentioned and, also repaired another problem I told them about. (within 3-4 days my car was fixed and ready to be picked up)… I usually don’t write reviews but I’m writing this one almost after 2 months from the date i visited CG. Great work & reputable shop.10/10 ?
I am very impressed with this shop. It was recommended by an Indie shop specializing in German cars. My situation was a bit unusual; the trunk of my e36 wouldn't... read more open. My regular mechanic gave up, but these guys dug in enthusiastically and soon figured it out. Upon my leaving, the receipt included some written recommendations for other things to be aware of- like oil leaks, overflow tank crack etc. This combined with a cool shop surrounded by customers' M cars made me say, "Steve (that's my name), you'll be coming back here."
