Great work, honest business, and they are fast. I have been bringing my car to Ed and Simon for around 10 years now and they always do a good job read more

I called on Wednesday to make an appointment for Thursday for an oil change for my 2012 Toyota Corolla. It was a super efficient process and I was able to come pick up my car exactly on time. They mentioned my tires were really worn down and I was just about to go on a really long trip, so I took them up on their suggestion to get two new tires. They arrived in less than 24 hours and I was able to get my tires changed that Friday morning before my trip! I hydroplaned a few years ago due to worn out tires in the rain and it was a pretty traumatic experience. I appreciate that they let me know my tire condition and were so communicative! This is my new go to auto repair spot! Great price and customer service. read more

Very tight space, polite and professional and the most important thing is that they know what they're doing. I trust them with my vehicles and have been going to them for years. This is our go to spot, even simply for an oil change or tune up. I am grateful to have found a place I can trust and with exceptional service! Why i didn't give it a 5 star? They're usually very busy, I have to wait some time before they can start on my car. This is why I always call ahead and schedule an appointment. This is very convenient and I feel safe during Covid 19. read more

Absolute BEST BMW mechanics in the East Bay. Honest, fair, affordable and work with nothing but integrity. I would NEVER take my car anywhere but here for a mechanical issue. They have fixed my dear Ursula (yeah, my car has a name) four times over the past 6 years. I'm not sure why I neglected to leave them a stellar review in the past. They are amazing. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROFESSIONALISM AND HONEST WORK!!! #amazing read more

I was recommended by a friend and I've been coming here for quite a while and they never disappoint me every time I come here for emergency and other car repairs in my car! Ed and Simon are the best they deserve 6 stars instead of 5 stars. They'll not stir you for the labor and parts I always come here for major repairs instead of other mechanics they don't know you or trusting a mechanic. Thank you so much guys!!! read more

The best. Non-judgmental, honest, and communicative. They don't talk down at you - I keep coming back bc I feel truly supported! This is a local gem. They do get busy sometimes so it's best to call ahead if you can. read more

When I bought a new old car, and it came with a myriad of issues, Simon at Bay motorsport was super helpful and got my car running as if it isn't from 2002! Their prices are fair and the people that work there are knowledgeable. The only negative thing I have to say is at one point they did work on my car without calling me to give me a quote. It was some thing that I would've gotten done anyways so not a big deal but I would've preferred a call. read more

Great guys. I've been coming for years. Wonderful service and body work on two of my Priuses. Fair pricing as well.

This place does a phenomenal job. After having been to more than half a dozen shops trying to find my go-to place, this shop has been the most honest and reliable place I've been to so far. They tell it like it is, and I know they won't try to tell you to do something that you won't need. On my old Honda Accord, I've had oil changes, gotten a blown head gasket fixed, and recently put on shocks and struts. I know I'll keep coming back! Everyone in the shop is helpful and will take care of your car. This is the shop I recommend all my friends to go to. Keep it up, guys! read more

The problem with these fancy cars is that it takes any bit of car maintenance knowledge away from the driver. I can't tell if I have a flat tire, I don't get anything checked, I can't even figure out how to pop my hood. Luckily my car is well suited for my incompetence ... that's why I've named him Sven ... It's like a hot sexy european man servant that provides directions and tells me when I need to do stuff. I also recently discovered that he can keep my sandwich cool in the glove compartment. Anyway, as I'm barreling 90 down the freeway, my music stops, the car beeps and red flashes at me -- "CHECK TIRE PRESSURE". So with a leaky tire (cause it sure didn't *look* flat) I brought my car here per the recommendation of the manfriend. We called ahead by 30 minutes and they were able to take care of stuff while we had lunch just down the street. While we dined, my tire was patched up for $12.00. It was fast and efficient. I also asked for some quotes on other things (Service B and new rear tires since they are bald) - and I was called back 50 minutes later with a detailed message. I've been calling around getting quotes for the Service B and their rates were competitive. Hopefully I won't need to be back for any emergencies, but if I need anything done, I'd definitely trust bringing Sven here again. read more

Efficient, affordable and effective! Plus, they had a cute dog in the office. I will definitely be going back :)

Beware of fraudulent and false reviews! These people are not 5 Stars! I went here for a repair on my civic last month. Not only were they extremely rude and unhelpful, my car sat there all day while the 'inspection' they conducted only took 5 minutes. I asked them when I dropped it off if they would call me and they said yes; I called them when it was close to their closing time and they said they would call when it was ready. It was not until my boyfriend called at closing they said it has been ready for awhile! I was so irritated because I sat at home all day waiting for my car to be ready. So we go there to pick it up and they tell me they would call me when the part was ready but I still have not received a call. I would NEVER recommend these guys to anyone. read more

I don't know what kind of incredibly low expectations other reviewers have for auto repair, my experience was an absolute joke. I called on Friday, said my Mazda truck needed an oil change and explained that there was an oil leak somewhere. I was quoted $35 for an oil change and told to come in first thing Monday morning. I show up Monday morning at 8:30, there is no one there. No sign indicating the business hours, they have no website to indicate the business hours and no one answers the phone. Finally someone shows up at 9. I again explain about the oil leak, give my cell phone number and ask for a call when they identify the problem. I wait until 2:30, no one has called, it takes me 3 tries before I can get someone to answer the phone, I'm told the car is done. When I come in, I'm told the problem was the oil filter from the previous oil change (done by the dealer) had not been put on tightly enough and that was the source of the oil leak. Really insulting that I looked stupid enough to believe that an OEM oil filter suddenly worked it's way loose and started leaking 7 months after it was installed. So I grudgingly agree to pay for the oil change, the price of which is now $40, not the $35 that I was quoted on Friday. And oil change included a generic filter that I suspect will give me problems. And yes, the oil leak is still there. I could have gone to the dealer for $40 they would have changed the oil (with an OEM filter), rotated the tires, filled the fluids and identified the source of the leak. Thought I would give these guys a chance but they failed miserably. To summarize: * No communication * No one shows up until 9 * Can't identify the source of a simple oil leak * Bait and switch on cost of service read more

These guys have been maintaining both my '91 Miata and my '99 Explorer since I returned to the Bay Area a few years ago. They are efficient, informative, very honest and straightforward, friendly, and know exactly what they are doing. When I decided to buy the new shocks for the Explorer over the Internet, they installed them for me at a fair price, no reluctance to use customer-supplied shocks. They'll do it all, from major repairs to a simple oil change. I recommend them highly, and not just for "sporty" cars read more

Ed is excellent. He is very good and he will just charge you the thing that you need to fix, not like other store always ask you to fix alot of things. Veru honest guy and the staffs are all helpful and friendly. Our whole family come here for the service! Highly recommended! read more

quick, cheap, honest, and reliable. Quick for small maintanence like oil change, expect half day to whole day for major maintenance just like anywhere else. you will get your car back quicker if you call in before you come here and the guys will order the parts that comes within an hour or two. oil change for only $30 with filter included, and tire pressure check, with windshield washer refills. Best deal! Everytime I am here, I ask my mechanic if other things need to be changed, and they always tell me no, if they suspect anything you need to maintain, they would show you why they think so. read more

You know, my car broke down in San Francisco and my basic AAA membership would not let me tow it to Oakland for less than $14 for each additional mile over 5. If they would have, I would have towed it to the greatest mechanic in Oakland (not that I have tried them all, but this place is great). I'm sorry Julianne had such a bad experience because this place is definitely 5 stars. I've taken my car there three times in the past year and the committment to excellence has been nothing short of great. For example, I went there one day thinking that there was something wrong with my brakes ... but ... they were honest enough to tell me that there was nothing wrong with them, they just needed a little tightening, so they just changed my oil as I asked and didn't charge me for looking at my brakes. I'm from Ohio and I miss having a neighborhood mechanic ... you know, the guy up the street who isn't certified but has been working on cars for 20 years ... I think Bay Motorsport is the closest I can get to that experience, because they are in my neighborhood and their honest. You should definitely feel good about having your car in their hands. Word. read more

This is the most reliable, economical repair shop I have ever been to! They are really helpful, fast and honest. I cannot say enough good things about Bay Motorsport. read more

Ed is honest and knows his stuff. He is probably the only one that won't rip you off! Thanks Ed! Ray is awesome too. Mandel #2 read more

They're honest , fast, professional , and affordable. I trust these guys with all my cars. The best mechanics in Oakland bar none.

My ac was broken, i kept on using the refill kit but it never worked for me, I figured that i had to replace an o-ring because after several bottles there was no improvement. So my brother tells me about this place. I have to tell you these guys were really nice and friendly, They gave me a price on how much it will cost before even finding out what's the problem. Turns out i had a small l crack on my condenser, They replace the condenser and empty the old stuff in my car and refilled it with the new ac. The ac works like a brand new car!!! it was supper cool and perfect for the warm weathers. These guys are the best and no bs work from them. Any kind of work done to my car will be with them from now on. I truly love theses guys.!!!! read more

If all auto mechanics were as honest and quick as Bay Motorsports is about servicing exactly what needs to be fixed, then the world would be a better place. They diagnosed my problem within one day, and recommended what should be fixed now, and what could wait a while. They looked packed with cars, but still found time to fix everything I needed done on a Saturday, nonetheless. Highly recommended! read more

This place is fast and very efficient. I've used to take my car to random places like Honda and other body shops. Honda was too expensive for the same work I can get done at Bay Motorsport. And other mechanics places do not do the same QUALITY work that Ed and his crew do. I've been taking my Honda '89 here for years, and other than having to randomly take it to crappy other shops, I've realized that Bay Motorsport is the only affordable place I can trust that will get the job done right THE FIRST TIME. read more

No frills; affordable and honest. The only mechanics I will use.

Came here on the word of you Yelpers, and y'all weren't lying! Great service here. Called and got in and out that day for an alternator belt change, and for about fifty bucks less than I'd been told it cost from other places. I think I've found my new mechanic! read more

I've been going to Bay Motor Sports for fifteen years. They are amazing! Very honest, reliable and they do good work. I recommend them to everyone in the area I know. Trust is very important to me and I trust them wholeheartedly. read more

Bay Motorsport IS a 5 star establishment. I've been going to Ed and Peter for appoximately 5 years now and never had a bad experience with them. In fact, I'm baffled that someone would even rate them less than 5 stars (ie, the previous Yelp'er review). Last night my car broke down. Called AAA at 4pm, they promised to have a tow at 445pm, got 2 delay calls from AAA, and the tow truck finally got there at 545pm. Although I promised Ed to have my car at his shop by 530pm, he stayed open to wait for me. Not only did he stick around (to wait), he had his mechanic stay over time to fix my car. I finally left his shop at 8pm. THIS IS QUALITY SERVICE, ladies and gents. I WOULD recommend Ed and Peter to anyone and everyone. Keep up the great work guys!!! read more

Friendly, honest, competent, and affordable. I needed a last minute break job, and they were able to do the job without any kind of rush fee. When I dropped off the car, the manager offered a ride back to my place. Highly recommended. read more

Bay Motorsport - Auto Repair Near Me - Oakland, California

Bay Motorsport is the best. I feel very lucky to have been referred by a friend to this place. They really know what they are doing and they are always welcoming and efficient. Thank you! read more

Ed was recommended to me by my cousin and I couldn't be happier with their service. Friendly, competent and fair. No nonsense or frills and they always stand by their work. The will honor warranties and never let you leave feeling like you got ripped off. I always go back because they never let me down. read more

When you grow up in one place your whole life, you don't give a second thought to who your dentist, doctor, lawyer, and mechanic are. Usually these people have been vetted by family or friends of the family over many years. When you move and you don't know who to trust, who do you turn to...Yelp!! It beats picking random names out of the phonebook (yes they still make those although I think they're mostly used to heat homes). So that is where I found Bay Motorsport and since I have been going to them over the past year or so I have never been disappointed. I've found Ed to be honest, reliable, and affordable. I was looking at a car on Craigslist and asked the owner to meet me down there so that I could have Ed look at it. Even though they were clearly busy. He still took about 20-25 minutes to check it out. At the end I asked if I could give him something for his time. He told me not to worry about it, but that it would be needing a new timing belt at some point. Ed told me it drove well, and that was all I needed to hear. I've taken my car in several times and simply asked Ed to do whatever needed to get done. He's always told me what needed to get done in the near future, what didn't need to get done (even though I asked) like changing the oil or tires. I can't give him enough thanks. I will continue to recommend him and hope to keep on taking my cars in to him for as long as I am around the bay area. read more

The service is great and the people are always friendly. They even have nice friendly customers that come in! I first stumbled upon this place as the secondary option to the Oil Change 300 (I know, I know I should have been turned off by the name but that was the nearest oil change shop near my house and I was lazy). Good this I chose to take my business elsewhere after the technician tried to be all shady with me and say a synthetic oil change for my 4 cylinder IS250 would cost me $98. I was like Pshhhh... NO. The Lexus dealership only charges me about $85 + a squeaky clean car wash. Ed was really nice, they were really swamp when I first pulled into the shop gave me an honest answer for time estimate of when they would be free to do my oil change. I asked him where else would I be able to change my oil around here since I was unfamiliar with the area. He told me Tim's Auto down the street. But my senses told me he was a nice honest guy, so I opt to stick around for the estimated 45 mins. I came back and this guy named Ray helped me change my oil. Really nice and knowledgeable dude. He didn't try to up sell me or anything. He even helped me check all the fluids and tire pressure. He even told me my brake pads are low in the rare tires and I have about 2 months left on them and to bring them back in 2 months. I asked him if it would make more sense to do it now (just to get it over with cuz I'm lazy) and he told me that it still has some life in them. Having said that, it shows that he just didn't want to collect my $$$ and was actually looking out for me. Nice guy. Ever since then I've been back there several times and each time the service is exceptional! I would highly recommend! read more

i been through a lot of places..... this place you will find friendly and honest mechanics. they truly are about customer service!!! I don't know much about fixing cars but i do know my car parts and they will provide you with great quality car parts like OEM parts for WAAAYYYYYY cheaper then other places!!!!!! i trust these guys with my car from tires, engine, transmission. suspension.. they know it and got it all. They say BMW is not cheap to maintain.. well.. thanks to Bay Motorsport it is.. =] read more

This review is 15 years in the making. I've known Ed and the gang for that long and I can say they are solely responsible for my car getting to 415,000 miles. I have never had a better experience with anyone else responsible for my cars and owe them much more than I have paid them. #1 in the Bay Area. read more

I took my 2001 Honda Civic for regular maintenacne and repairs to Ed at Bay Motor Sport for over 6 years. Reliable, dependable and affordable..the best mechanic I've every had. I've had numerous emergencies and he ALWAYS squeezes me in without charging me extra. My car finally died (which he said it would) and now I have a 2013 Honda Civic which I'm taking to him tomorrow for a regular oil change...his price is at least $10 cheaper than any other place i've found. It's not a fancy place..nor is it in a prestine location..but they know what they are doing..if you want comfortable..drop off your car and go wait in a Starbucks...if you want trustworthy, and excellent service for your car talk to Ed and go here! read more

Reliable, honest and very reasonable priced. I been bringing my Scion XB ever since I moved to the Bay Area last year and I have nothing but good things to say about them. Ed and Ray are very knowledgeable. They don't do all those stupid upsells as other mechanics normally do. They just tell it how it is. No pressure. Although they might not have those updated troubleshooting computer equipment, they really know what they are doing. I would say Bay Motorsports are the most trustworthy auto service business in the East Bay. read more

I loving coming to this shop. The owners are very honest and do quality work. What is nice is they take the time to explain everything to you and provide a timeline of when something really needs to be fixed. And they are very fast too! read more

These guys never cease to amaze. Before heading out on a roadtrip i needed a last-minute tune-up and they came through no problem. With less then 5 minutes notice they took my truck in, even though they were packed, and had me out in 30 minutes. They take real pride in a job well done which is rare thing these days. read more

My BMW's window stopped rolling up and it came time to get it repaired. I saw all the 5 star reviews and came by. It was SO easy. They knew exactly what the issue was (the window regulator), and it was really simple to drop it off, get it done and with a price that was reasonable and fair. I usually hate bringing my car in anywhere because I always feel like as a woman I'm being taken for a ride when I go to a mechanic, but they were super fair and easy to work with. My turn signal light was out and my coolant was low and they changed the light and added more fluid (and explained to me what to look for next time) without charging me any more than the original quoted price and sent me on my way. I've definitely found my new spot and will come back here for any more car needs I've got. Thanks! read more

Really fast and friendly. Went here for an Oil Change and Tire Rotation and they said it would take an hour, which it did. I really appreciate when a business gives you an accurate measure of how long a service will take. Price was $45 which is reasonable for the area. He was also able to tell me why my check engine light was on, which I didn't even inquire about which I appreciated. BONUS: the little pup is super cute and friendly. Definitely would recommend to a friend for something thats quick, simple, and easy. read more
