Seb's Auto Werks

Where do I start? Sebastian is the most knowledgeable, honest and professional mechanic I've ever encountered. One of my former bosses recommended him, after getting ripped off by other mechanics and I can only say: I trust Sebastian blindfolded while walking on glass without wearing any shoes. He goes above and beyond to fix any mechanical issues your car might have, even shows you the parts he removed, fixed or changed, and never tries to upsell you or add any additional services; he is upfront, reassuring and always positive. Comparing to previous car maintenances or services, I know his pricing is beyond fair and reasonable for the amount of work and time he puts in your vehicle. Sebastian: You are a pro and an artist! I can't thank you enough :)

Sebastian is the only mechanic you will ever need in your life. Honesty in this industry is extremely rare to find and I know I can trust him to do what is best for my car and my wallet. The man is knowledgable and will let you rest easy knowing that your car is in great hands. He will be the only mechanic that will ever touch any of my cars going forward. My 335D is in great hands and he even had it washed for me!

My father referred me to Sebastian's shop, and I have to say I am more than happy and satisfied from both the people and the service. Sebastian was more than happy to inspect the vehicle as soon as possible and provide an A-Z service within a couple days. If you aren't familiar with auto repair time-frames, a couple of days is record fast. They use only original parts (unless requested otherwise from the customer). In addition, Sebastian & his employees were more than happy & willing to answer any questions I had, or explain to me the problem in simple to understand terms. Last but not least, the price was beyond reasonable. If I had taken my car to the dealership, it would have taken them twice the time and triple the price for the same exact work Seb's auto wreck performed on my vehicle. I prefer Sebastian because he personally works and oversight the job at hand. If anything happens in the future (which it hasn't yet), he knows exactly the work done, by who and when without going on the computer and checking the logs then sending you to station number 21 to wait for the mechanic that barely remembers what he did to your vehicle & never saw your face. Overall I give Seb's auto wreck a 5 out of 5 stars for customer service, 5 out of 5 for labor and parts, and 5 out of 5 for reasonable prices. Thank you Sebastian for all your help and service! I'm definitely going to be coming back in the future in case my car will need it.

I was referred to Sebastian by a coworker for his fair reasonable prices. However, that is not the case. He overcharges and will do other repairs without asking and charge you for them. Please make sure you get a quote before dropping off your car. I stopped by his shop to see if he can see why my AC wasn’t blowing cold. While there he did a quick inspection and noticed I had an oil leak. I come back a few days later to drop off my car and asked if he can also install a pair of inside door handles and a metal parking brake clip that I purchased. Here’s the mistake I made. I didn’t ask how much it would cost since I figured his prices are fair. I ended up paying a $2900 service bill. $1053 oil leak repair (replace oil filter housing, oil cooler gasket, coolant hose flange and oil pressure sender), $240 to replace door handles, $264 to replace brake clip, and $60 for AC service. When picking up my car he mentioned I should replace my lower control arms and replace the brake fluid. He said it would cost about $700-$900. I took his word for it and left my car another day. Next day comes and I’m charged with a $1300 bill. $722 to replace lowers arms, $233 for oil brake replacement and bleed and he went ahead and did an $180 oil change when I clearly told him not too. He apologized and said he did it because it was due. He also replaced the cabin filter without my consent and charged me $156 when I do that myself. I can be passive and non-confrontational so I just went ahead and paid. Out of curiosity I asked how much he would charge to install a BMW electronic steering wheel I plan on ordering. He said he’ll “hook me up” for the oil change and cabin filter I didn’t ask for. About a month later I drop off my car with the steering wheel and asked how much to install a digital cluster I bought as well. He couldn’t give me a price since he never coded one before. I clearly told him to call me and tell me the price before installing. 4 hours later I get a text with video showing the steering wheel and cluster successfully installed. No mention of the cost. I get there to pick up my car and get charged $506. I asked what happened to the “hook up” and he said the steering wheel installation was free but to code the cluster it was $350 and $150 to install. By no means do I expect a hand out. I will gladly pay for a service. But the whole point to go to an independent mechanic is to not pay the premium price the dealerships charge. Sebastian charges more than the dealerships. I pay $120 for an oil change at the dealership with a free car wash while he charges $180. The dealership also calls and tells you the cost before working on your vehicle. The next day I drove to 2 different independent BMW mechanics and asked for a quote to install and code the digital cluster. They both said no more than $250. Important to note, he’s wearing an arm sling and doesn’t have full mobility of his arm. He mentioned he was injured and had surgery. There’s 2 workers at the moment helping him out. I’m assuming he’s overcharging to pay them. I just wish he was more transparent with his prices and inform his customers of the costs before he begins work. I feel ripped off. I still wish him the best but I won’t be back. Edit: about 4 months later and my AC stopped blowing cold. Will call different independent mechanics to get a quote.
