People have so many misconceptions about auto repair that we decided to offer this consumer information so when you need to select an auto service company you can make an informed, intelligent decision. Misconception # 1: Your car manufacturer specifies regular maintenance schedules just to get you back into their shop and make more money off of you.
We do very thorough pre-purchase inspections on used cars. We check for collision damage, body work, rust, body and frame rot as well as checking the mechanical condition of the vehicle. The underside is inspected for body damage & rust. The car is checked for fluid leaks. Tire condition and car interior are inspected.
Ultima Ltd specializes in rebuilding these units. We offer recondition and bench tested, throttle body Housing assembly for Saab 9000 2.3L Turbo, 1991 To 1995. Given the high price of new units, we provide recondition and bench-tested alternative to get your car out of "limp home mode". Sale of new throttle body units also available as well as assistance with ets/tcs diagnostics. Please email or call us for details.

Ultima Ltd. Motorworks is a great place to bring your car. I have a 2012 Volkswagen GTI and I brought it in this summer because the check engine light was on. Yuval Banayan, the owner of the shop was wonderful to work with. He went over everything that he found very clearly, and the work was completed for a fair price. Yuval is an honest, reliable, and knowledgeable business owner. I would recommend Ultima to anyone who needed a repair shop.

I have taken an older BMW and an older Saab to Ultima several times and been happy with the service and price each time. This shop does a good job with communication on the phone and in person. They walk you through issues, explaining different options, along with the prices and pros/cons of each option. No one likes having car trouble, but Yuval and his team do a good job.

Great experience working with the Ultima Team. I was well informed about what was found on my vehicle, costs and the schedule. My Audi A4 was completed on time and is running great. I'm confident that the needed repairs were performed well and that only the needed repairs were performed. I would come back whenever I need my cars worked on. Thank you!

I was ambivalent about taking my daughters 12 year old BMW here since I heard from another mechanic that it needed a new engine. Something about that diagnosis didn't make sense so I took a chance and brought it in.the owner really took his time to get the diagnosis correct. The end result was lot cheap but the car is running perfectly.

I couldn't be more happy with the work done on a 12 year old BMW. My regular mechanic told me to ditch the car. He said it needed a new engine. That didn't make sense since the check engine light came on very sporadically. Turns out there were a few things wrong and it wasn't the engine. The fix was not cheap but the car is running extremely well. I think Yuval is quite honest and will not insist that you make an unnecessary repair.

I recently went to them for a used car PPI on a B8 S4. I called around noon and they were able to go through the car the next morning. Due to personal time constraints, I had to deal with them exclusively over the phone, to which, they promptly answered every time I called. In addition to sending me a detailed Work Order that listed all the pros and possible concerns with this particular vehicle, the owner spent 30 minutes on the phone with me explaining the final verdict.
This included things to look out for in the near future. After all was said and done, I felt more confident going forward with my purchase of the car and actually got some money taken off the purchase price. Factoring in that an Audi dealership charges $270 for this service, and Ultima Ltd. Motorworks only charges $190, I'd say it was money well spent. I would recommend them to anybody looking to service or buy a German or Swedish vehicle.

Excellent! Highly recommended. I have taken my European cars to Yuval couple of times and the cars come out of the repair shop as brand new. You can feel the difference. Yuval thoroughly inspects your car, tells you about every issue that he finds and suggests the repairs that needs to be done immediately or things that can be delayed. Extremely knowledgeable about European cars. No matter what is the problem he is able to diagnose and fix it. I would not take my cars to anyone else ever.

Having a problematic Mini Cooper, it's been a blessing finding a Ultima in Waltham, as Yuval is incredibly knowledgeable, honest, friendly, & accommodating. When I first brought my car, he did a full scope of the car to familiarize himself with it. They are extremely organized, as they keep all the notes computerized for future purposes, and give the option to call/text/email for service notifications.
In the last couple of months, I've been to Ultima for a couple of repairs plus an oil change, and it's been a fantastic experience. Yuval explains everything thoroughly, and all repairs have been fixed to perfection. It's really a breath of fresh air to have an honest mechanic who cares, communicates sincerely, and is extremely experienced & skillful. and their price is fair. Definitely plan to go to Ultima for future auto services.
