I highly recommend Saul and Bimmers Auto Service. After 20 years of taking my BMW's to the dealer, I had an amazing experience a few weeks ago. Saul stayed late to help get my car back the same day after it needed a new battery and also took time to do an oil change / brake fluid service while I waited. Excellent service at a much better price than going to a dealer!! read more

Saul is amazing! He is honest, incredibly smart, and super responsive. I used to only take my cars to the BMW dealership because I really didn't know who to trust, and I'm so happy to have found Saul. It feels wonderful to know that we can count on him anytime and he is so easy to work with. read more

Taking your bmw here is like throwing darts at a board blind folded. I paid to bet my car fixed and then the next day guess what check engine light back on. Next he said oh we can change something else... it's like no sir I cannot just keep throwing money at you if you can't figure out the actual problem with the car. read more

These guys are great! I have an older BMW and they help with affordable, reliable and quick repairs, their advice is spot-on, and will, if I ask, install parts that I source that are less expensive or give me OEM BMW parts depending on what I want. read more

2004 33oci ZHP was misfiring - amazing service and runs beyond smooth. First time using them and I'm going back for more repairs, highly recommend. read more

My engine splash guard had popped off halfway, and was dragging under the car. It was Sunday when it happened so I called Saul Monday. Saul / Bimmers was recommended via Nextdoor- called Monday evening and Saul said he could look at it the next morning. I couldn't get out of some work stuff so my husband took the car a few hrs later - Saul still looked at it right away and knew when my husband pulled up, said "oh yes I spoke to your wife" Husband killed some time over at Big5 for ~30 mins and Saul had put the guard back on, nbd. Minor, easy fix. Nothing more or less. Exactly what I want in a mechanic. Bonus point that Bimmers is super close to home so that'll be convenient in the future. read more

i've been coming to Saul for over a decade. i've brought my bmw, toyota, honda, mercedes to him for all types of repair and he always gives me great outcomes. some of these diagnoses and repairs aren't easy but he always figures it out. if he doesn't think it's worthwhile, he would say so. he's honest, experienced, and responsive. it's always great to have a professional you can always count on. read more

Bimmers Performance Auto Service - broken springs - Auto Repair Near Me - Concord, California

Dealt with Saul for my beloved BMW. A 2004 330i in Imola Red with 147k miles (a ZHP for those of you following along at home). Needed rear brakes. An easy job, but so often can be a nightmare when leaving it with someone you don't know. Saul immediately put me at ease. I knew what he was talking about and knew that he was about using quality parts. Fortunately, it only needed the pads and not rotors too. Saved me some money. He gave it a looking over and said everything is in good shape with no leaks noted except a small coolant leak at the thermostat housing (which I knew about). Very relieved to find a good, honest BMW mechanic up here. Used to take it to Edge Motorsports in Dublin. They did a lot of my out of warranty work and a few mods (short shift kit, clutch delay valve delete and a shorter differential). Anyways, great shop!!! read more

These are the kind of businesses that are a gold mine and you're super happy you found it. There's a reason every review is 5 stars. If you need to get work done, don't even doubt it. Saul will do right by you. read more

I've been coming to Saul for years now and I have to say he is one of the few honest mechanics out there,hes very personable and conscious,he won't urge you to change or fix something you dont need just to make an extra buck. He is trustworthy and overall an extremely knowledgeable mechanic and great HONEST individual! Great service read more

Bimmers Performance Auto Service - My baby - Auto Repair Near Me - Concord, California

Had my thermostat replaced & Saul was kind enough to do it for short notice. My engine light came on & was able to pinpoint what the problem was. Saul explained to me in details how he would fix the problem. And I was convinced he was knowledgeable w/ BMW cars/suvs. The shop closed at 6pm & I was running late but Saul said that he would wait for me to pick up my BMW. I would highly recommend Bimmers Performance! read more

Best BMW mechanic in contra costa county. Affordable, quick and and great service I have taken my cars to this shop for over 14 years and never experienced any problems with their work. read more

So, since my Mercedes warranty had expired it was time to find a shop to do my annual maintenance. I tried a 'European auto specialist' in Walnut Creek, it was ok, but seemed very much like the dealer in terms of work quality and cost. That means it was passable but not good. Thusly (yes, I said "thusly"), I kept looking and found Bimmers. The Yelp reviews were consistently good and it was close to work, so, fine, I thought, I'll give it a go. Result, home run! Great service, friendly, reasonable time in the shop, and good pricing. I could actually tell it was serviced (B3 service). This is now my go-to shop for my Mercedes service. read more

My husband and I bring our BMW 328i and our x1 to Saul. We are so glad we found him! He is very reliable , honest and reasonable priced. We have taken our cars to Saul for different things now and we are always satisfied! You won't regret bringing your bimmer to Bimmers Performance! read more

Fast, professional and honest service. Had them install new shocks/struts and springs on my 2011 BMW 535i. Very happy and would return.

After years of only using the dealerships for service, it was time to try a different approach now that my car's not so new anymore. I've been to Bimmers twice - first for some engine work and then for brake pads and oil service. It's been easy to schedule and get the work done. They've been exceptional and I highly recommend them. read more

"Don't buy a BMW" they said. "Don't you know BMW stands for Break My Wallet" they said. "The Maintenance! Thats how they get you!" they said. They said, I don't listen. So I bought a used BMW 2011 328i coupe December of 2016 with around 48k miles. I didn't buy a warranty (because I don't listen). Last month the dreaded happened. Im driving on Contra Costa Blvd on a Sunday afternoon and my Car dies. I was able to get it to start up but it would be "Herky Jerky" for a few moments and die. Luckily I was able to get it parked in a safe parking lot. I sat there for a few moments extremely pissed off, and began to look on yelp for mechanics. I stumbled on "Bimmers Performance" and liked the reviews I read but was skeptical because, well they didn't have a ton of reviews and I don't trust many people. I called the shop the next day and spoke to Saul. I let him know that I was going to have my car towed there ask if he could take a look at it and then get back to me. He agreed and I went on with my day. Later on that same day he called me back and this is where it got interesting..... "Hey Max, this is Saul. I had a chance to look at your vehicle, ran a few tests and it looks like the issue could be your Vanos. BMW usually covers this under Warranty" I responded "I didn't get warranty and I know my car is past 50k miles so i doubt it would be covered. Is it possible for you to do the work?" Saul responded "I can definitely do the work, but I still suggest you take it to BMW to see if they cover it, sometimes some parts like the Vanos is covered under 100k miles" I was a little taken back that he was referring me to BMW, actually losing business, but I remember reading in the reviews that he recommended the same for a few other people and it worked out well so I thought "Why not give it a try". A few days later I have my car towed to Concord BMW and they notify me that not only is the defective car part under EXTENDED WARRANTY(Just like Saul said) but because of the damage caused to my engine by it, they would replace my engine for free. I repeat REPLACE MY ENGINE FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!!!! That means I didn't have to pay anything! Not even a diagnosis fee. I saved THOUSANDS!!! All of this was possible because of Saul's knowledge of his vehicles but most importantly his HONESTY & INTEGRITY. When I went back to his shop to thank him, he seemed just as excited as I was that I got new engine. He didn't even charge me a fee to run his initial tests on my car. He let me know that he believes that honesty is the best way to do business, especially in his industry and I wholeheartedly agreed. For all the future needs that are not covered under warranty with my car, you can trust I'll be taking it back to Saul. read more

This place is the best place for getting work done for BMW's and other vehicles. Saul is the owner/operator and does the best work at the lowest prices. I highly recommend him in every possible way. Additionally if there are other issue that mechanics don't do, i.e. wheel alignments, Saul has various sources that he can send you to that will also do the work at the lowest prices. Lastly, the quality of the work is superior and I highly recommend them based on that as well. You can't go wrong with this place and I urge you to place your confidence in them. read more

I did a DIY on my car in my driveway last weekend that needed me to remove the bumper. After finishing up and reinstalled the bumper, I noticed I could not tighten the bolt on the bumper adjuster. There's no way around it for me to fix it, unless I remove the bumper again. Since starting over was a PITA, I decided to leave the car alone. I called Saul today to see if he could assist me. I explained the situation to him. He did tell me he was busy but asked me if I could come by around 330p, he will see what he can do. I get to the shop and he was finishing up working on another customer's car. After that, he asked me to pull up my car by the lift. We couldn't get the car on the lift because of my car's stupid side skirts. He then made attempts to install the bolt I mentioned. Unfortunately, he and I were unable to get the bolt installed as the only way to do it would be removal of the bumper again. He apologized for not being able to help me and I told him not to worry because I already had an idea that the bumper had to be removed from the beginning but was hoping I didn't have to. I thanked him for at least trying. I asked him how much I owe him for his time and he told me not to worry about it. This guy spent time with my car trying to help me and didn't want to take anything in return. I previously read the other Yelpers' reviews and all the positive feedback of him are accurate. This guy is an honest working man. I wish all business owners are like him. If I need something done on my car in the future, I now know who to reach out to. Thank you again Saul, you are an awesome dude!‍ read more

I've been to Saul for an oil change and a new battery before. This last time I came in for a check engine light. He ran the diagnostic and told my car actually has an extended warranty for the problem I had and it should be fully covered by BMW. I took it over to BMW and Saul was right! His work is prompt and efficient. And he's honest!He's definitely my first call for car maintenance. read more

they did the breaks on my x5 for less than the dealer quoted me. they are so honest - i have an extended warranty on my car and they advised me to have the steering wheel checked at the dealer because it might be covered under the warranty. i did and it was!! they could have just fixed it and got the $$ from me but they were honest w/me. its nice when you find people like sal who actually care about their customers!! not just $$$ thank you sal!! you guys are the best!! read more

Bimmers Performance Auto Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Concord, California

I had no idea Saul was so popular on Yelp. First time I pulled into his garage was about 13 years ago after seeing his shop coming out of Costco. I had some minor trouble with my 3 series at the time and I've taken all my cars to him ever since. He's one of the professionals I have a relationship with, like my insurance guy, mortgage guy, realtor, dentist, doctor, and lawyer that you feel lucky to have on the speed dial. You get to know them so well, that the trust is there, and you know you're taken care of. Saul is a good guy, and a good friend, if he allows. read more

My car is a 335i. So I found this place due to a last minute brake pad replacement sensor alert the day before my 4th of July trip...up to the mountains w/ a lot of hairpin curves and steep elevation driving. So I started calling around. Sal picked up and gave me a straight forward quote and said he could work on it right away. That alone speaks volumes...the owner/technician picked up the phone and was able to commit a price and schedule....that's pretty rare in this day and age...especially among BMW master technicians. So the shop is next to Costco so easy to find...and I admit I have seen it for many years going to Costco so that I felt reassured that the place has been in business for awhile. The garage is no frills but so are Sal's prices. Sal gave me a decent price (well below dealership) for some maintenance (oil, filters, etc) along w/ the brake pads and true to his word, he started working on it immediately. I typically DIY for small things like filters, but Sal's quote made it an easy decision. All OEM parts and he reset all the indicators. His tools and familiarity with BMWs were top notch. About an hour and half later, the car was good to go. Sal also did a road test and checked/topped off fluids and tire pressures.I found out later that Sal has been in business here for 15 years. I also overheard some customers who came to pick up their cars...clearly Sal has earned repeat business...so that was good to hear. BMW owners know that dealership maintenance can be a huge issue once your car is past the included package. Although I have been taking my car to the dealership for key issues..I found that maintenance costs as the car aged kept climbing....and I'm the type that keeps a car 10+ years as the norm. It's nice to have an another option like Sal. read more

Saul is great. No nonsense, reasonable prices, honest man. Doesn't talk down to me as a woman. Nothing else to say. I enjoy working with him a lot and I've been very pleased with my service so far- much more affordable and helpful than dealerships read more

I love this place. My car misfire and I have no idea what was going on. And I got a call that was honest and thorough, tell me what was broken and what was suggested to be fixed. That honestly is what makes me come back and is what made me decide to get other things fixed on my car there. I was quoted at BMW and at the shop that I used to go to and to me it had seem reasonable since I have been getting overcharged this whole time. But I got my price broken down and it made all the sense in the world. I couldn't believe how much I was getting quoted at other shops.I will continue to bring my car here from here on out. And I just because it cheaper but because they're reasonable, thorough, honest and willing to work around my schedule. read more

Thank you Saul for getting me back in my car. Had unexpected car problems Thursday evening and called Bimmers first thing Friday morning and they were able to get me in and have my car back to me by Saturday. They replaced my fuel injector, repaired/replaced all 6 cylinders, spark plugs and did an oil change. Thank you so much!!! You have a customer for life. read more

Having a good mechanic like Saul brings me such peace of mind. I know when I leave my car with him that he's honest with me and he will do the best job possible. I've ran into some very dishonest and incompetent mechanics and dealerships before and I will only have Saul work on my cars from here on. Come to think of it, I think the ultimate compliment I can think of is trusting Saul with our family car, the SUV that my kids ride in daily. That is alot of trust. read more

Ive taken my car here twice on the recommendation of yelp and so far so good. First was just fluid changes and 2nd one was an emergency. My alternator died at 9pm and i was stuck in a gas station. I called Saul and he actually picked up and i asked whether the tow truck can take it to his shop and he said no problem. The next day he fixed it and changed my rear brakes as well, all before 12pm. Excellent service. read more

Have been to him twice in the past year, once for maintenance and the 2nd for a part replacement, both times I had great service. He really knows his cars and he takes care of it quickly. Good Pricing and I especially like how he is open on Saturdays. Saved me alot of headache seeing him on a Saturday versus during the work week. Thanks for the great work guys! read more

Buying a used car is tricky but finding a honest and ethical mechanic to service a used car is sometimes impossible. Quick story, our 2011 BMW was mis-firing and getting horrible gas mileage. Saul scoped the car and determined that the ignition coils and spark plugs were bad and needed replacing. (Approx $1,000) Before doing the work, Saul suggested that we contact a BMW dealer to see IF it might be covered under an extended emissions warranty. What?!?! Unbelievably, the coils are covered along with the labor saving $600-700 dollars. This car and my other used BMW have found a new home for any service going forward. Saul, Thanks for being honest and a good guy!! Sadly, it's a little rare. read more

I have a 2006 325i, had the coils replaced, oil change and air filters replaced. Completed same day and very reasonable pricing. Definitely my new mechanic. read more

I've been going to them for 10 years now and the brothers Saul and Sal have never disappointed me. They are very honest individuals, and unlike the times when I go into the dealerships, I don't ever question their recommendations. The car still runs great and because it's Bmw parts, the service will just be more expensive than a Toyota. read more

After being ripped off at the concord bmw dealership I decided to find a new place to solve my rear view mirror issue after reading the yelp reviews I decided to give this place a try. Saul was so helpful and understanding and installed my rear view mirror professionally in a timely manner will definitely be returning for all my future bmw needs thank you for an outstanding customer service and solving my problem ! read more

Saul is a real stand-up guy! He is very up front and honest about what needs to be done and does so at an affordable price. I've never trusted a mechanic as much as I do Saul. If you're looking for a mechanic who will work on your BMW safe, fast, reliable and for a fair price this is your place. Thanks Saul. read more

Really nice guy. He replaced the catalytic converter and my smog passed. Thanks Saul
