International Motors -- Testimonials

Cars have been part of every stage and aspect of my life. I worked on the Factory Toyota National Advertising for seven years, was a mechanic on a Formula Super V Team and have now owned three Porsche 928s. This one is an '89 GT. The techs at International Motors really know and understand this car. And Sean is amazing. What's most impressive is what he tells you that you don't need to do. He's practical. He knows how to restore these cars, make them safe, perform as if new and save money. Everyone at International Motors shares my passion with this car. That's really important to me. I love this car. -- PDP		Sean's a great guy! My older brother was a chief mechanic for the National Park Service, so I grew up around cars and in garages. I know when I'm merely being tolerated or sold a bill of goods. Sean is the most unchauvanistic mechanic I've ever met. He clearly explains the work that does (and does not) need to be done. He cares about safety first and foremost and he works with my budget. This photo is me in my 2002 Land Rover Discovery. I bought it simply because Sean has serviced it for years. I met Sean the eve of Christmas Eve. My 740GLE Volvo blew a water pump while Christmas shopping. By the time I called, Sean was closing but he said he would wait for my car to be towed in. He did. It took 3 hours. -- Wendy G
Sean at International Motors has been maintaining my classic Mercedes for years. The personal service is excellent. I wouldn't trust my cars to anyone else. -- Valerie M.		The best combination of skill, attitude and price that I've ever encountered. I highly recommend them. -- Kenneth H.
I've been a customer of International Motors for a few years and I think that they are really great. Sean is wonderful and runs a good shop there. They are honest, hard-working and professional. I highly recommend them. -- Joanne M.		International Motors has always handled everything I've brought to them expertly and expeditiously. I've been using them for about seven years, and find them to be incredibly knowledgeable and trustworthy. -- Ronald S.
When other repair centers can't resolve or fix your Mercedes Benz mechanical issues, pay International Motors a visit. You will not regret it.   I live 160 miles away from this shop. But, if my MB has major issue, I will take it there. -- K T.		When you have an older classic car it's easy for a mechanic to tell you that you need "everything." Especially if they have the car apart working on something. Sean is incredibly honest. And often says you don't need "this" or it can wait. And the job they do is probably better than a dealer as the dealer mechanics are trained to deal with the new cars, equipment and tools. My car is exotic and over 20 years old. Sean and his crew have the tools, knowledge and desire to make it as good as it can be without finding things to make me concerned about. -- Patrick P.
I drive two high performance BMW vehicles in the M series. One is a 5 series, and one is a Roadster. They are unique and distinctive. Sean has the experience and competency to be able to keep them running well.   He also has a network of people that he interfaces with throughout the BMW United States service team, so if he finds something funky he can draw on the experience of other experts like him within the network. Other dealers might just shrug their shoulders, not address the issue, or not address it as economically as Sean will.   If there is a way Sean can do something efficiently while maintaining effective service, he will do it. He gets the biggest bang for my dollar of anyone who has worked on my cars, and the quality of work is very strong.   I have used International Motors now for 3 or 4 years. You get to be friends with the team as you visit every couple of months for maintenance. They are friendly and hospitable. While no one likes a car bill, International Motors makes it as pleasant as can be. -- Lynn C		I've been using International Motors for about seven to eight years now. I've had nothing but good experiences there. I have been very satisfied with the service provided there. I especially like dealing with Sean directly and growing and developing a solid relationship with him over the years. This is a nice business, with really good technicians. -- Art L.
International Motors is very accommodating. In my experience, Sean does a good job with troubleshooting a lot of my issues. I haven't had any issues with him, he's been really wonderful. He' just very fair, and very thorough in his job and everything. It's one good op! -- Nancy K.		I took my car to International Motors because it was making a strange noise. Sean and his team inspected the vehicle, checked the drive train and the suspension. They determined that it was an alignment and tire issue. All has been repaired and the vehicle drives just fine. I found the personnel at International Motors to be very professional and I will certainly be a repeat customer. -- Robert H.
I used to use the dealer for work on my vehicle, but about 2 years ago I started using International Motors. I am a personal friend of Sean as well. He is very knowledgeable about his work. He knows exactly what is going on, and is knowledgeable about cars and what is happens with them. I admire that   Sean is also very good about estimates and about when the work will be done. When I leave a car somewhere, I want to know exactly when it will be done. He is very good about that. When he gives an estimate of what it will cost, that is what it ends up. It is not like other places that keep adding on addition costs. That is very important.   The service he gives and the quality of his work is very high. He is extremely knowledgeable about what is out there, how prices compare, and where to get parts. -- Mo G.		International Motors was recommended by a family member of mine. We've used them for about 2 years now and they do good work. They have done everything from oil changes and power steering to fixing window problems. They have worked on my mother's car as well as my sister's car -- both are Mercedes.   It's good to keep the communication open in terms of finding out what's wrong with the car when they check it. They do good work and I wouldn't hesitate to take the car back to them in the future. -- Cindy N.
I bought 4 new tires for my Lexus RX330 from international motors, not only did I get the best price in the area, but the best service. -- Ehsan J.		I just moved down to Indio from Claremont and haven't had the easiest of times actually finding decent places to get things done the way I'm used to closer to Los Angeles. I found this auto repair shop and had my son take it for some repairs for me. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of attention my concerns received when I called about my car. I know almost nothing about cars, and the problems were explained to me in a simple, direct manner. I know that as long as I am living in the desert, I'll continue to have my car taken here. For anyone that wants a no-nonsense approach, try this place. -- Tara R.
