Questions before you come in

Do you only work on BMWs?

No. Kyle is a former BMW Master Technician, and Goodfaith Garage welcomes all makes and models, from daily drivers to classics.

Will I know the cost before you start?

Yes. You get a written estimate and approve it before any work begins, and nothing extra is done without your OK.

Are you connected to a BMW dealership?

No. Goodfaith Garage is an independent shop. Kyle’s experience comes from his years at Irvine BMW, but the shop isn’t affiliated with BMW or any dealer.

Why the name Goodfaith?

It’s Kyle’s family name, translated. In Italian, Bonafede means “good faith,” and the name is his promise to do honest work, treat people right, and never compromise on quality.

Do you work on classic cars and custom builds?

Yes. Restorations and custom builds are a big part of why Kyle opened the shop. Call to talk through your project.

What is the first-service offer?
