If you have an MG this is the place for your repairs or restoration. Guys were very honest and direct. I drove the car home and it was perfect. I never write reviews, I highly recommend Britsh Euro Auto

I had BEA do some major restoration on my TR6. They did both mechanical and cosmetic restoration. Very happy with the outcome! Jeff, Dane and crew are easy to work with and completely fair and honest. I live in San Diego but tow my car there for service. Nobody better in SoCal. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

What a find! This shop is crammed with expertise in every aspect of classic-car work. They did maintenance work on our 1969 Triumph TR6, were able to find a rare wheel cover and a clever way to attach all of them, and buffed the car to its original sheen. They work lovingly and unhurriedly, and treat their clients with a sense of shared affection for the automobiles. The large work space is clean and organized, a pleasure to visit. We drove an hour each way to get there and it was well worth the drive.

What can I say about Jeff, Dane, Alicia and crew that hasn't already been said. They are with out any doubt the best. They have worked on so many of my cars that I have forgotten what I had. They are currently doing a full Restoration on My Jaguar MK11 and just got done servicing my Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. They are very meticulous in their work and it shows once you get your beloved car back. The communication from them is top notch. You can not simply ask for a better experience. To sum it up I think of quote from Mr Henry Rolls that best describes the team, "Strive for perfection in everything you do. Accept nothing as nearly right or good enough."

This is a first-class, top notch business. My 1962 MGA roadster has never run better since bringing it here. Dane, Jeff and the entire team really know their stuff with these cars and they pay special attention to detail and getting the job done right. This will always be my go-to place with the MGA or any other classic British car I own. A+++

Very pleased with my experience here. I purchased a vehicle on consignment through the shop, Dane was very helpful and patient. Dane is very quick to respond and get back to me on my questions and concerns. Highly recommend this shop and Dane especially. Your customer service goes a long way! Thank you and I am excited to receive my Datsun soon.

I was referred to this business by another mechanic who was done trying to deal with my 79 MGB. Since then, they ve rebuilt my carb and a small handful of other things. I am thrilled I found them. Turns out they are a family run business and all are wonderful people. They have done a terrific job on my car, communicate well, price fairly, and are all around quality people running a quality business.

where do I start. ...When I was 18 I owned a 1964 TR4. Finding service back then was not an issue, plenty of shops and mechanics. Fast forward 55 years and I now own a 1963 TR4..Yes I m re-living my misspent youth. I have discovered that finding a competent mechanic that even has the right kind of tools has been really difficult ...Until Now...BEA not only has the tools and mechanics but they have a movie set shop that perfectly fits the British auto janra, The guys are knowledgeable and very professional. They do excellent work at honest prices, not 1964 prices but nevertheless honest. They have brought back my TR4 to a reliable fun to drive roadster. I m a happy customer and highly recommend them for all levels of service.thanks Guys....Jeff

I'm an automobile enthusiast. When I stopped at BEA, it was just to look at the old beautiful cars. The person who asked me if I needed any help ended up giving me a tour of the place and answered many questions. You just don't come across that type of service from repair shops anymore.I hope to someday own a Triumph TR6. If that goal ever gets accomplished, I'll definitely become a customer of them.

British European Auto is simply put the Best repair shop to bring your car to be worked on. I live in Las Vegas Nevada and since there are no competent garages out here I take my 1971 XJ6 down to Jeff to be worked on. I think even if there were competent shops out here I would still take it there. Jeff is a specialist with these cars and always takes the time to talk with you over the phone during the repair process. He answers all questions ans concerns you might have and makes sure to address all problems you may be experiencing with your car. I really wouldn't trust anyone else but Jeff and his team. Glad to have someone like him when you need help.

This is a very overdue testimonial for Jeff Taw and British European Auto:If you are lucky enough to own a British car, and you are looking for a fantastic mechanic, Jeff Taw is your man, and British European Auto is your place.about 20 years ago I purchased my dream car, a 1976, TR6. The first 10 years, I couldn't find a qualified mechanic to service this car. I was at the point that I was going to selling the car, when I was fortunate enough to find a fellow British car owner that referred me to British European Auto.From the first day picking up my car from British European Auto, I couldn t believe it was the same car I dropped off for service. The sound of the engine, the idling was something I had never heard, or experienced since owning it. Right away I knew I had finally found a great mechanic. Jeff s workmanship is bar none, this guy is a magician. Thanks to Jeff Taw, I fell in love with my car again.British European Auto runs a quality business, the service is great, and the shop is clean. I can t say enough wonderful things about Jeff or his business.Thank you Jeff for all the years of wonderful service, and your friendshipPatty

Hard to find a really good mechanic that cares about your car as if it was theirs. Honest top notch mechanics. Very responsive and if you own a British classic, this is the best place to take your car.

These guys know what you're doing with vintage British cars and European cars. Not cheap but you don't want cheap when it comes to restoring your 1950s, 1960s vehicles!
