Testimonials

Mark VandermeerCustomer

Skunkworks are absolute gurus for BMW servicing, fault finding and electronic and mechanical repairs in my experience.

An example is we had age related wheel speed sensor issues on our X3 3.0d that blocked the wheels, but Luke and his Mac found a work around right away to unblock it so it could be driven to the workshop and sensors replaced.

They source excellent quality parts and have consistently been very competitive on price. It's hard to find a place to completely trust, so we sure wouldn't take our cars anywhere else now. 

Steve ChapmanDriver (BMW race series, E46 series competitor)

We have been using SWR for both race support and track set-up and car development and maintenance. 

They consistently prove to be extremely knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. Subsequently, this season we have not missed any session we planned to be on track and have seen good improvement in laptime and results. Car looks mint too! 

So glad we have partnered up with them and would highly recommend to others either building, looking after and/or campaigning cars.

I am currently racing the Skunkworks BMW E46 in the 23/24 BMWRDS season, and I can confidently say that Luke, Josh, and the team have the knowledge and skills to consistently place their car at the front of the pack.

Luke, in particular, is a true perfectionist, ensuring that his cars always arrive at the track in pristine condition. The team, as a whole, always maintains a high level of professionalism, which has helped enhance my skills and performance as a driver.

I am genuinely grateful for the opportunity to work with such a dedicated and skilled group. Looking ahead, I am excited about achieving even greater success with Skunkworks in the upcoming seasons.

Just a quick thank you to Luke and Josh at skunkworks - the quality and efficiency of my race car build was superb.

Overall these boys hold their standards very high and it is most certainly delivered with swift communication and high quality work.

I have thoroughly enjoyed dealing with the Skunkworks Team – great guys.

Mark MckannyCustomer

My family are the owners of 3 European cars: a BMW, Audi, and VW. Over the last 6 years we have had the pleasure of having all our cars serviced and repaired by Luke and his team at Skunkworks.

We have always found Luke and his team to be incredibly knowledgeable and thorough.

When presenting them with all our mechanical issues, Luke has always gone out of his way to find the best and most cost-effective way to repair our vehicles to ensure they perform and remain reliable for my family.

I have no hesitation in recommending Luke and the team at Skunkworks to anyone who requires their cars to be serviced by a professional company who are passionate about cars and looking after their customers.
