MasterClass Automotive

I need a very simple repair for my BMW, replace the Valve Cover Gasket. I’ve called around and for that simple repair MasterClass wants $ 740.00! The part itself is only $ 30 and it is a simple repair with little labor. The MasterClass price is $ 300 more than what other places charge. They might do good work but their prices are ridiculous. Apparently they think owning a BMW in Miami means I’m a sucker I will pay anything.

Very rarely do I separate the time to write a review for any businesses because I just don’t have it. However, this situation most definitely called for it. First of all, let me start off by saying that I am a New Yorker that lives in Miami for work. That means that I come from a long line of impatient, street-​smart, tasteful jerks. I don’t wear under-​sized shirts. I don’t have a tribal tattoo. I am enamored with the finer things in life. My car being one of them.
It is my firmest belief that having a cabinet of top-​notch professionals in my corner has always guided me through the treacherous storms life has presented. I trust my Doctor, Lawyer, Accountant, Spiritual Advisor, and now MasterClass Automotive Technician with my eyes closed. In a world where swindlers abound, the family at MasterClass doesn’t overcharge me just because I drive a Mercedes.
My E-​Class now has 120,000 miles because I like to drive. She was shaking every time I had her in «Drive» at a stop light. My fiancée doesn’t need a vibrator and never will! So I went to google, my local MB dealer, did my research, and crunched the numbers. Then, I set an appointment with MasterClass. Upon arrival, one cannot help but notice the cleanliness of the grounds, the tastefully chosen décor, or the fully restored classic BMW in the waiting area. Ronald, who is my new best friend, sat in my car for 30 seconds and diagnosed my problem immediately. He told me exactly what the dealer would say I needed, and then he told me what he knew I needed. Ah! Someone in Miami that speaks the truth. It is a rarity (like the finest of wines, well-​crafted timepieces, and intelligently designed European cars) and one to be appreciated. I don’t know what kind of Marvel Superheroes they have hiding back there, but they changed out out my parts in NASCAR pit crew record time. My car doesn’t even feel like it’s even on anymore. Did I mention that they did it for a fraction of what the dealer was charging? Enough said. — J

I had a mishap with my BMW and it was scraped on the side. I turned it in on a Monday and received it by Wednesday afternoon! Ronald knew exactly what he was talking about and made it a quick and painless experience in getting my car back to me looking good as new! They even included a car wash! Truly operated according to their name… Class!

MasterClass is exactly that, masters of anything automotive and the classiest team of people I have ever had the pleaseure of doing business with! I have not only bought a car from MasterClass, I have brought that car back to have upgrades done to it and serviced. I won’t bring it anywhere else. I am transporting the car from Atlanta to Miami just so they can do the work because they’re the only team I trust. If you have a BMW, Mercedes, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley, Rolls Royce, etc, don’t look any further for a shop, you have found the right one. One example of how dedicated and enthusiastic they are about the work they do, Ronald, the owner, stayed until midnight on a Friday to finish my car so I could drive it long distance to Atlanta for my wedding. His team was working on the car until 9:00PM at which point Ronald took over completely to finish the job. We’re talking big brake kit all around, new shocks and springs, new wheels/​tires, A/​C, replacing interior panels, replacing exterior trim, installing new exterior spolier and splitter, etc. Upon completion of the work, he then buffed and waxed the car until he was 100% comfortable with the final product. Like I said before, the best shop I have ever worked with is MasterClass, look no further! Ronald and his team will have the utmost respect for you and your car and you’ll never take your vehicles anywhere else.

Came in to check the place out and see how they treat their customers before i bought my BMW. Talked to Ronald and he was very honest and helpful in telling me what to look for before i bought it. They also do pre-​purchase inspection (PPI) which they will check the car out before you buy it and let you know what needs to be done.
Well, I found the car that I was looking for a hole year and brought it to service here 3 times already. They were honest in showing me what the car needed and doing maintenance. I’m glad I found this place and great mechanics.
Ronald was referred to me by mechanics at Brahman BMW Miami, and said he was excellent.
Would recommend this place to anyone with a German car!
Just call ahead to make an appointment because they are busy and that way you know exactly when to take it. If not, just drop by and talk to them.
Clean place, respectful and knowledgable, and prices are reasonable compare to the dealer.

I brought my E320 in for minor body repair, and engine servicing a couple of weeks ago. This was my second visit, and I’m still super impressed with the service. My E320, which is 15 years old, looks like new and my engine purrs. I relocated from San Francisco where my E320 was maintained by a father and son, independent Porsche/​Mercedes garage. The dad is a factory trained, in Germany mechanic. I thought I would never see this level knowledge nor service here in Miami. Ronald has proved me wrong! Thanks.

I don’t like seeing this place much but when I do i know I’m in great hands. Ronald and the guys are all very professional. They break everything down for you, no surprises!

WOW… THANK YOU MASTER CLASS AND STAFF. Finally a place that treat you and your car with Class. Far the Best experience I had encounter with all mechanic shop I’ve been to. Extremely Fast service and top quality work. My car drives smoother than before. Thank you for making my E36 feel new again
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

This place is amazing! The staff is beyond friendly and welcoming. They show you a lot of respect and are not afraid to show you the details of every charge. The shop is clean and filled with exotic vehicles.
However, the best part of the shop are the technicians. The owner, whose name slips my mind right now, is as honest as can be! I’ve been coming here now for a couple years and every single time I feel as if I’m talking to a friend. In addition he’s always looking for ways to save me money!
This is by far the best shop for European vehicles in Miami. They have my business for life!

Friendly and helpful service. They explain and show you what needs to be done. They now their stuff (as far as I can tell, as I have no clue). Pricing is very clear and much lower than the dealer. I’ll be coming back to fix a few things in my 2008 328i.

Great bmw service. Ronald explains everything that is done to the car and also what is needed. Customer satisfaction is their first priority. You can sense Ronald’s love for cars. I was kept up to date on everything by email. Great job!

I would recommend Masterclass highly. Not only are they professional & friendly, but Ronald demonstrates his true love for cars through his honesty & work.
Not to mention reasonable pricing, my car & wallet couldn’t be more satisfied!

After getting sticker shock from a majority of other mechanics who inspected my Mini, I could not have asked for a better experience here. MasterClass Automotive has fair prices, great communication and response time, and overall amazing service. Never taking my car anywhere else from now on!

My experience here was great, the customer service was awesome they were fair and honest! Great work, clean shop and knowledgeable staff. This will be my shop for now on. Most important all parts used are OEM. My E38 is back on the road thanks to Master Class!

It’s hard to find a good mechanic in Miami but Ronald is the best, he is sincere and honest. Yaneth and Daily in the front desk are amazing. LEO Makes a killing Cuban coffee. Their prices are reasonable compare to other services shops.

When it comes to service, quality, and expertise, Masterclass Automotive is nothing short of a boutique repair shop. Over the years, I’ve entrusted a variety of checkups, modifications, and repairs to the capable hands of Ronald, Leo, Daily, and the rest of the Masterclass family. Parts and labor have always been competitively priced, though I never put a dollar amount on the peace of mind achieved when picking up my serviced BMW. Even before I was a regular client, I was afforded a rare, old-​worldly courtesy that reflects the heritage of the vehicles tended to at Masterclass. That, and so much more, is what has earned this industrious staff my exclusive business.
Cuando de servicio, calidad, y experiencia se trata, Masterclass Automotive es todo un taller boutique. A través de los años, he encomendado una variedad de chequeos, modificaciones, y reparaciones a las capaces manos de Ronald, Leo, Daily, y el resto de la familia Masterclass. Las piezas y mano de obra siempre han reflejado precios competitivos, aunque nunca cotizo la tranquilidad lograda al recoger mi BMW de este taller. Mucho antes de volverme cliente fijo, fui acordado una cortesía casi evocativa del viejo mundo de donde proceden los vehículos aquí atendidos. Por esto y mucho más, este industrioso equipo se ha ganado mi exclusividad.

MCA is truly a pleasure to deal with. They called me back and emailed me even during the holidays. Yaneth on the phone was so helpful and when I arrived to the unfamiliar neighborhood (after my new iPhone sent me to the wrong area) she was welcoming and efficient.
Their prices are lower than the two previous places I’ve dealt with. It was worth the trip. Plus, they’re open on Saturdays to accommodate working people.

Shhhh… this place is a hidden gem! Seriously, Ronald is truly an expert with all things BMW, Bentley, Range Rover, MB, and Porsche and more I’m sure. Prices are much better than a dealer would charge and with equal if not better service (it’s better!), its simply a no-​brainer. Shop is always clean and well organized, Daily is fabulous and can help you with appointments and they make good coffee too. Its a real pleasure, I highly recommend them, excellent team!!! Ronald has performed oil changes, inspection II, header install and shock and strut install, and more, all without a single hitch and as you can see I have much esteem for them all.

In have had BMW’s, Range Rovers (when owned by BMW), and Jaguars all my life as cars. MasterClass auto is truly that, a master of European luxury cars with a specialty for BMW’s. The shop is always exceptionally clean, the staff is friendly, and efficient. However, most of all they are trustworthy! They are by far the best in Miami! Oh and did I forget to mention that their prices are reasonable!
They have bent over backwards to accommodate my needs every single time I have contact with them!
A very happy and satisfied loyal customer for life!

Great service. Finally a real mechanic not a glorified parts changer like most shops. Ronald spent a considerable amount of time to identify and diagnose the problems with my 2004 325 BMW. We had a very clear discussion of what I wanted to fix at this time and what I would like to fix in the future.
The repairs were quick and done properly. Both problems solved and fixed. The greatest respect for Ronald as a Master Mechanic, because he saved the worn parts and offered to show them to me.
Fantastic service! I will be back. Thank you to everyone at Masterclass for your outstanding service and quality.
