★★★★★ I had just discovered that my 2015 BMW 320i had developed a leak from the bottom of the valve cover(crack around the bolt). I have been out of work with an injury and was trying to get a new job so money is tight. The first garage, nice bunch of guys, said they would fix it but I’d have to wait till after the first of the year because they take most of December off, the price would be $1500 to $2000 unless they find something else wrong. The next garage, a little bigger and they had loaners and coffee said to bring it in tomorrow, again they said $1500 to $1800 unless they find something. My wife found a garage with lots of great reviews so I went down to see them, the owner was nice. He told me we don’t work on BMW’s anymore but recommended Jim at Creative Car Care. Any time you get a recommendation from another mechanic it’s a good sign. Jim was upfront and easy to talk to, he said come in tomorrow and I’ll fix it, probably $800 plus or minus. I like someone who wastes no time and is able to tell you exactly what the job is and will try and do it for the most economical way possible. When I picked her up it was a shade over $800 and he finished the job by lunch time. Jim is a great mechanic and an honest businessman. I will continue to bring my BMW to Creative Car Care for any and all of her mechanical needs. Thanks Jim! UPDATE: 03/03/2024 My wonderful 2015 BMW 320i has an engine warning light on, the message for Engine is moderately Hot Drive Slow came on and it went into limp mode. I have made an appointment with Creative Car Care for Monday morning. I’m so glad I found them and Jim. Fingers crossed 🤞.

★☆☆☆☆ I took my van into Creative Care a couple of years ago and it was running badly, on three cylinders. After weeks of "extensive diagnostics" it turned out that it needed an engine rebuild. Jim suggested I do a top-end rebuild, to which I agreed. He did the work and $4.5K later, the Oil pressure was bad and then he told me the van needed a completely new engine! Jim never did a leak-down test for the bottom end, and Jim didn't offer the full rebuild. I trusted his "Expert Advice" and regretted it. Jim refused to admit any responsibility for not performing the test on the bottom end or refund any money for the useless work he performed. I ended up having to pay someone else to do the complete rebuild on the same block including the top end all over again! For that reason, if I could give him zero Stars I would. This man does not stand behind his work. DO NOT GO HERE!

★★★★★ I took our 2016 BMW 3 series to have the motor mounts checked. The Camarillo BMW dealer shop said that the mounts were shot and needed to be replaced. The car is only 6 years old and has 46k miles so I sought a second opinion with Jim at Creative Car care. I am so glad I did because he said there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with the mounts on our car. Camarillo BMW was going to charge $2200 and if Jim would have needed to replace them he said it would be 750. Since Jim found nothing wrong, he didn't charge me anything! What a surprise! I will definitely be using Creatuve Car Care in the future. Thank you Jim
