Ken and his team know BMWs better than anyone else, full stop. They've always done amazing work on our 1989 E30, at this point they've worked on just about every inch of it.There's a difference between a competent professional and a true master craftsman, and these guys are the latter. You can't find better.

Ken has been servicing my E30 for the better part of a decade. And I trust no one else with my car.Even after moving the car to the mainland I d always call him to double check work any other mechanic ever did.Without question an invaluable source of knowledge and worth every penny.Services: Transmission, Carburetor cleaning, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, Painting, Auto glass repair, Auto side window replacement, Transmission replacement, Auto maintenance, Battery, Oil change

Ken & the guys took care of my E46 s catastrophic subframe mount failure (video & photos).They did a great job, reinforced it, and gave good advice on other collateral repairs. They re the only guys on island who can do this work, trust me I called everyone else!Highly recommend for BMWs!

Ken went above and beyond to find an extended warranty on the airbags of my 2015 BMW electric. He called the dealer and walked them through their own internet info and convinced them that it was indeed under warranty. I left armed with the name and number of the BMW service guy and $3,000 richer! I have since had a diagnostic with BMW, they ordered the part and I am scheduled for the free replacement next week. Couldn't be happier. Thanks Ken. I will be using Hawaii Vintage Workshop for all my future needs!

Ken was able to squeeze me in on a very busy day. He took the time to evaluate my car and find the problem in no time. And even walked me through what he was inspecting. After finding problem his team fixed my car in a timely manner and showed me the parts they replaced and what was wrong with each part. Ken is a mechanic that possesses integrity and is extremely knowledgeable.Services: Steering & suspension repair, Auto maintenance

Ken came to our house to help remove a damaged tire on our Mini. We will be using his service for all future needs. It s so nice to have him in Kailua! No need to drive to the other side. We have two other vintage cars so this is perfect.Service: TiresService: Tires

We had complete electrical failure with our Mercedes-Benz due to corroded engine harness wiring; an alternate repair shop estimated repairs well above what Ken quoted us, in spite of Ken having to order the parts internationally. The parts came in quickly, the repairs made and the car was ready for us well before what was expected for such a job. Ken's great to work with and he's passionate about what he does, which is obvious in his workmanship and vehicle knowledge. We'll be looking to him for all of our auto care needs from here on out.Service: Electrical repair

Hawaii Vintage Workshop is top notch!I went there for my 2012 Volvo C70 convertible hard top for some general tuning and new wheels and tires. Ken was so accommodating with my schedule. He and his staff definitely put his customers first. I highly recommend them for all cars. Vintage is obviously his niche because when you walk in the shop you see vehicles that are very rare and unique. That alone shows you their expertise and professionalism is supreme. He explains everything very thoroughly and is honest and personable.The shop puppy mascot (Samantha) is also very sweet.Many mahalos HVW!Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, Tires, Wheel alignment, Oil change

I took my 15 yr old Mini Cooper, that I love dearly, in to Ken and he recommended a transmission fluid and filter change. After the transmission service, she now runs like she never had an issue! I was skeptical but it s the best decision I ve made for my car outside of the regularly scheduled maitenance! Hoping this bought me a few more years of sunset top down cruises! Service: Transmission

Probably the best shop for anything BMW on the island. Ken is very knowledgeable about most cars and especially BMWS. Hes got a great team working for him and they are all very professional and qualified. Ken strives to get things done fast and safe so you are back on the road in no time. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who is in the area and needs a simple oil change or an entire engine swap these are your guys.

These guys are amazing! I brought them a vehicle that no one else could do and they got the job done. They not only did a great job and extremely fast, the communication and professionalism was far and above. I appreciate every little detail they conquered and would recommend them to anyone. When I was in the shop, a lady came in with body damage and they instantly took action to assist her and send her on her way. This crew is a great crew. Highly recommend!Services: Transmission, Battery

Awesome shop if you need anything done with BMWs since that seems to be the specialty. But I've seen a Ferrari in the shop.Ken is very knowledgeable with BMWs and can source parts cheaper than you may find elsewhere. He will guarantee his work to be solid. If you have issues, he's more than willing to make it right.I took my E46 ///M3 here for some shocks and bushings and I was in and out pretty quick. He's also been helpful simply looking the car over to make sure it's in good shape and let me know if there's anything concerning I need to take care of.I will continue to bring my car here. There's also some cool classics you can look at while you wait. And maybe they're willing to sell some idk.

Told I could save some money if I removed and reinstalled front bumper cover for paint job. Which I did, as I had been quoted $1000.00 from 3 other shops who would have removed, painted, and reinstalled . Quoted $500.00 then was bumped to $1000.00. Paint job was a c grade. Average as expected. A simple passing grade. Front lower grill removed for painting and not reinstalled. Other repair work to lower bumper chin repaired nicely but NOT authorized. Reason for extra charge that paint was funky and had to do more sanding, etc. Told by someone there why don t you come and sand it to save $ ?, ha, ha, . Plastic Z4 bmw bumper cover, white, not custom, or too large and complex.Enough ranting. They still owe me $100.00 stipend as a peace offering, I was told to come by shop anytime and pick up except Fri. Afternoon as they like to leave early. Still waiting for check in the mail.

Best place to get BMW and Mini service . I think they can work on anything though. Their location is key and they give a great service experience just like you would expect at the dealer

A friend told me about Ken at the Vintage Workshop. Everything he said about great customer service was true. He really took the time to explain every aspect of what he was doing and pricing was very affordable thanks again
