MRF Engineering

Recently had the pleasure of having some suspension modes done by malek here at mrf and all the positive reviews or on point at this shop, malek was professional and provided prompt clean crisp service, he provided helpful advice and I will definitely be going back even thou it was a hour drive for me ! Highly recommend this shop !!

Came here after being referred by a friend, and very glad I came here to get work done on my BMW. I had called another shop in Anaheim but was turned off by their attitude. When I called MRF, the owner Malek was easy to work with, knowledgeable, and honest. He has an eye for design and pays close attention to detail. He gave great pricing on the parts too. Finally a shop that is professional and has fantastic work quality!

I had my ESS supercharger installed on my E93 at this shop. After the installation, my left front wheel would rub when turning right. I was told by Malek that’s because my wheels are 20in and that’s ESS design fault. I’ve accepted this headache for more than a year. However, my left front tire on the M3 had a flat couple weeks ago and a stock 19in wheel was on loan to me. This 19in OEM wheel still rub with the supercharger assy. Thus, it was not because of my 20in wheel! I brought my car to Supreme Power in Anaheim and they were able to correct the install and plastic weld the inside liner cut to look new again. NO MORE RUBBING! Not to mention I had to spend extra money to repair a hose next to the intercool that was cut due to not fastened down or tie wrap. He said he’ll credit my expense with the next service instead of reimburse me for the repair. Consider the credit is lost since I’m not coming back there again. Malek will convince other service that you don’t need so avoid this shop. I wasted lots of money and time here.

Malek is definitely top notch in his customer service and accommodation. Shop is very clean, he very knowledgeable and good at what he does. I ran into some issues with the product I was having installed at no fault of Malek’s. Malek had already gotten on the phone with the manufacturer to have them send me a replacement before I even found out there was a problem. There was also no additional charge to make sure the product was installed correctly, which took a few visits. I would recommend Malek to anybody and will be planning on going back for any future work that I will be having done

Malek is very knowledgable in what he does. He has fast and accurate service that is hard to come by these days. He is honest and does not try and over sell you anything. When you speak to him his passion is obvious. And it goes beyond just being a mechanic. The dude is very bright and educated as well in engineering. Highly recommended! You just can’t go wrong!

There are times when a negative experience with another shop will illuminate just how great MRF Engineering — and Malek — really are. My KW coilovers were installed by another shop but after observing signs of improper installation I made an appointment with MRF Engineering to verify and if necessary re-​install KW coilovers. Malek opened his shop on Saturday and I witnessed nothing short of craftsmanship of highest degree with a commitment to an exceptional outcome and complete disclosure.
It’s rare to meet someone like Malek. Very rare. Wish I could give many more stars.

What can I say that others haven’t covered. Malek is the man. The shop is meticulous, and Malek is friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. I took my M3 in for a suspension upgrade and to swap my 19s for 18s. The car looks and handles much better, and Malek pointed out a few maintenance items that no one has ever notice before.
I will be going back for everything from oil changes to performance parts.

I found this place on Unilocal,and with all the good reviews, I thought: «What better place to bring my BMW for repair, than a race shop!» Located in a nice industrial complex near Foothill Ranch, the garage was spotless and was meticulously maintained – It looked more like a showroom with 2 lifts, than a garage!
So I dropped off my car here because it was leaking oil, and it’s a good thing I did, because Malek saved me hundreds of dollars and even showed me mistakes that the dealership mechanics had made. By the end of the day, my car was good to go, and they even road tested it for me to make sure everything was in working order.
These guys are a very professional operation that not only mod/​tune, but do repair and maintenance. Even though I only needed repair, I was treated just like their most important client. Oil change? – go here. Racing stuff? – go here.

Work done: Install of KW V3’s, Camber plates, stud conversion, m3 control arms/​tension arms and an alignment for my 135i.
Owner: Malek knows his stuff. Hands down. He knew exactly what he was talking about and is extremely articulate about any adjustments or concerns I had. It is always worrysome when having someone work on your car, but after the first impression I knew that my car was in great hands.
Install: While installing my coilovers and camber plates, Malek noticed that one of my control arms was severely damaged. That being said, he suggested I replace the arm or else risk snapping it. He had e9x m3 control arms in stock and replaced them at an affordable price. It is very impressive that Malek took action to point out that a certain part was damaged and had the replacements on hand. His communication was the best I have had thus far and kept me up to date with any concerns or issues. His customer service was exceptional.
Post alignment and all installs, the car handles like a dream and I could not have asked for anyone else to complete this work. I will for sure be coming back to Malek for any installs /​work to be done on the car. The shop is always in pristine condition as well. All in all, the experience was great, and I could not recommend Malek any more.
For anyone in the Orange County area looking for alignment /​performance needs, Malek is your man to go to.

Malek is top notch… he was recommended by someone that I highly trust. I took the recommendation despite MRF being about 90 minutes away from me, but I couldn’t be happier that I did. Malek’s attention to detail and customer service are top notch. He communicated with me openly and promptly; he took it upon himself to correct issues caused by my lack of attention. His patience and knowledge are unparallelled… I can’t wait to work with him more.

Location: MRF Engineering is hidden in a business plaza. At first it can be challenging to find, but once you step in, the place is kept in immaculate condition. Comfortable sofas, automobile portraits on the walls, you know immediately that the work done there is professional.
Owner: First impression during conversation with Malek (the owner), he knew his stuff. I took my car in there to do alignment work, as well as getting rid of a fender scraping issue. He addressed the multiple situations that could contribute to the fender scraping, and gave me quotes and informed me of the process he would do to fix it. I don’t think I’ve come across anyone who was so straight forward, which is greatly appreciated when you’re bringing the car in for work. Other individuals will bounce and back and forth, and it makes you wonder if they know what they are doing.
Service: This is where Malek takes the cake. I only have one car, and I left it in Malek’s hands during the middle of a work day. He went out of his way to give me a ride back to work (roughly 10 mi), and picked me up as well. I don’t recall any of my shops doing this, especially during out first meeting. He was responsive in his phone calls during the whole day where I needed an update. In summary, the customer service was exceptional.
Quality: Post alignment, my car handles like a beast. I read his reviews on m3post, and the positive feedback was definitely validated. Although he could not fix the fender scraping, it wasn’t his fault. There was a previous guy who trimmed my fender lining and cut too deep; unfortunate because this could not be reversed. Nonetheless, Malek spent the time to see if he could fix it, and although the scraping is at minimal now, it could not be 100% solved.
What did it for me: Because Malek could not fix it 100%, he did not charge me. He emphasizes on customer satisfaction, and 100% perfection. I am definitely come back for all my performance needs.

Horrendous. When he installed my wheels and tires, he didn’t even check the tire pressure and then when I texted him about it, Malek’s response was «Was I supposed to?» Also, when people came by to pick up my wheels and tires from him to deliver to a shop in LA, Malek never gave them the lugs. Again, when I asked him why he didn’t, his response was «Why, was I supposed to?» His lack of attention to detail and his «shrug of the shoulders» response to questions about simple tasks he should have completed, have — among other reasons — motivated me not to bring my business back to MRF or refer anyone to him.

Malek is the man and MRF Engineering is the place to go if you want honesty, integrity, and attention to detail!
I took my car here to get a downpipe as well as an oil catch can installed. Malek took his time and did a perfect install and made sure everything was right before putting everything back together. He’s also very honest and will tell you straight up whether your car needs something or not. He doesn’t try to sell you on something you don’t need, and that level of honesty is hard to come by nowadays in the auto industry with shops looking to squeeze every penny out of their customers. His prices are very reasonable for the quality of work he performs and he’s extremely knowledgeable about cars in general.
I highly recommend MRF Engineering and I’ll definitely be taking my car to them for any future needs I might have.

I get my BMW serviced here for all my needs. From regular maintenance to full
On suspension and exhaust work. Malek is great to work with! Highly recommend this shop for any of your car needs.

5 Star Service! I went to MRF for a suspension job and I was treated very well. Malek is very knowledgeable and very friendly. I felt like I knew the guy for years! Thanks again my car looks great!

Excellent individual with fair pricing. Take my F01 BMW 7 series to him and he does excellent work. Takes pride in what he does which makes all the difference. Strong work Malek!

I just had MRF install my KW clubsport 2 way suspension and they did an amazing job. Car feels nice and smooth on the street, but also corners on rails when I hit it hard. I am loving the set up.

Malek has been working on my cars for years now. I met him at a car meet for Lexus IS300’s and it was no wonder why people were all asking him questions as if he was a specialist with cars or something. Turns out he was and that his business was just taking off.
I asked for a quote for a coilover installation and he offered me good pricing and with his reputation, I figured I’d give him a try. Turns out he does really good work. He’s done full turbo installations on my car and since I’ve switched to a MINI, he’s done the coilovers, sway bars, exhausts, you name it. He’s done a great job on all the projects I’ve thrown his way. It’s a shame that more people haven’t heard of him and his business. Well maybe not so much a shame because I don’t have to race anyone for some free time, he always manages to squeeze me in.
I’ve referred a number of people to use his services. My brother is having repair work + upgrades installed at MRF as I type and I’m assuming the same quality of work, but I’ll be the first to notice otherwise. He has my recommendation and I would trust him with the services offered.

MRF Engineering is the only place I’ll take my CL55 to have any work performed. The customer service is top notch, and the quality of the work far surpasses others. This is the missing level of professionalism in the automotive mechanic world. Try Malek once and see why you’ll keep coming back again and again.

Malek has been working on my cars for years now and in the 21 years I’ve been driving I’ve never encountered a more skilled mechanic. The attention to detail is unrivaled. Plain and simple MRF is the most trustworthy and most skilled car care out there.
From installing cams to suspension to expert detail work I’m always beyond pleased.
