This is my first time at Bimmerspeed and I'm really impressed! Ryan knows his stuff and the prices were SO much better than the dealership. I was worried because I have a 335d and not everybody knows how to service diesels. But they knew all the ins and outs. They got me in quickly and did the work much faster than I expected. I would recommend them to anybody with a BMW and I'm going to be bringing my car here from now on! read more

As most good finds come along, it's usually by word of mouth, and that is how I found Ryan. His shop does a fantastic job and they get the work done, fast.. very FAST. Amazing customer service and very well priced too. I will have all of my work done on any BMW I have at Ryan's shop. Thank you again! read more

Awesome shop and very friendly staff. Peter was awesome to work with and helped me out with my repair needs. Very thorough on describing vehicle concerns. This is my new go to shop for my BMW. If you have a BMW then this is the place to go. Forget about the dealer. read more

This place was awesome. Took my 2007 3 series in with issues they diagnosed it with a couple issues and including the solenoid valves and the transfer case motor and within 3 hours they had the new parts in my car. I took about a month to write this review to see if my car would hold up and she still runs like the first day I got her. Ryan did an awesome job and though it was pricey for me it was quality work for sure. Thanks again bimmerspeed read more

FIVE STAR FROM START TO FINISH! Ryan was a true professional in every aspect when he serviced my 2003 BMW. My vehicle's CEL was on due to faulty DLP according to the code reader. He was able to find a severed electrical wire which was the cause of the fault. He also gave me a great pricing on fuel filter and valve cover, which he promptly replaced. He even adjusted my head lights and other minor repair for free. I will definitely use his shop for all my future auto services. Great work Bimmerspeed! read more

No doubt the best spot to go to get your BMW worked on without paying the ridiculous BMW prices and the dealer. Regular maintenance, aftermarket upgrades, or OEM repairs. All very knowledgeable and easy to talk to staff. Highly recommend you pay these guys a visit before you bother with anyone else. read more

Ryan is an incredibly personable and down to earth mechanic. I just moved here from Hawaii and needed an oil change for my F30. I called and scheduled an appointment for the next day. The garage is a little hard to find, I drove past it once before seeing the banner outside, but the service I received was nothing short of 5 stars. While my oil was being changed I had a great conversation with Ryan about his path from working at dealerships to opening his own shop and his passion for BMW's. It's safe to say Ryan and Bimmerspeed will be the only mechanics touching my car! read more

If you own a BMW you know how it goes... stuff breaks and it needs way more TLC than your neighbors Accord. I found this place thru yelp and had a great experience. Ryan and his guys did a good job for me and gave me a good price on a complete fluids flush. Ryan was really cool and personable, I mean the guy even has a keggerator in his office! I wish these guys continued success. Prices are 30-50% cheaper than the dealer. read more

The ONLY shop I'll ever go to! Ryan and his staff are super nice and very professional. Ryan is a wonderful, honest and down to earth mechanic. He answers all my questions and is very knowledgeable. The prices are fair, they do great work and their customer service is top notch. I finally found my repair shop! Bimmerspeed, I am now one of your loyal customers! Thanks for doing an amazing job on my car!! read more

I always love taking my car here. I know it is in great hands being with Ryan. I've been coming here for years and have never had a problem. Great company read more

Sorry for the late review! I have a 2003 slk230 which I took to Ryan for an oil change and a overall inspection. I was worried because the prior oil change was done at Mercedes benz in san diego. They gave me a repair estimate over 3,000 dollars! Which is odd because the car has less then 50k anyways Ryan did the oil change and also reseted the computer and insured me that my car didn't need anything else. All that B/S the dealership told me was a damn joke! Ryan is professional, fast and trust worthily he is now the only mechanic that will touch my vehicles! read more

Excellent service start to finish. Ryan knows what he is talking about and doesn't charge ludicrous prices for simple repairs. He also has a nice air conditioned room with a TV so you want to just wait for a small service to be finished its fairly enjoyable. read more

I can't' say enough about how cool these guys are compared to the alternatives. I used to go to another repair shop in town, but after a bad experience there I ventured out for an alternative. These guys not only fixed my '99 M3, but they showed me what was going on with it while it was on the lift. Very cool. The also have a pretty chill waiting room area, and they let me play PS3 and watch Godzilla on a sick flatscreen while I waited. Ryan has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things BMW. Great experience. read more

This is a type of place BMW enthusiasts dream about. These guys are currently taking care of my prize possesion 2000 BMW M5. Great price and fast precision service and the most important of all when it comes to getting your europeans automobile serviced is trusting that your mechanic know what they're doing and I trust these guys. Highly recommended. read more

Ryan is very knowledgeable and knows how to take care of your BMW! He'll treat you right too!

Ryan and his crew are the best. Even though they specialize on BMW's they've taken my Fiat 500 Abarth in on multiple occasions and done fast, efficient and thorough work. They've gone above and beyond on those occasions as well. They talk you through the work done and you can't beat their prices. I want to get a BMW as my next car just to give these guys more business. As an automotive enthusiast and a perfectionist these guys tick all the right boxes. I highly recommend them. read more

Ryan is an honest and knowledgeable mechanic. I was quoted a ridiculous price for brake pads replacement at the dealership and started calling around. First mechanic quoted me a higher price and rudely hung up on me. Ryan was friendly and courteous and made sure I needed my pads replaced before quoting me half the cost. I'm sending all my BMW driving friends! read more

Ryan is top-notch! He is honest and will be upfront with you whether is a repair is really needed or not. He works by himself so he is a busy guy. Unfortunately, I have to have some work done on my AC and it's not cheap, but I will be bringing it back to Ryan to fix. If you have a BMW, this is the guy to see! read more

Ryan is the man! Truly a good person and very knowledgeable. Don't go anywhere else.

These guys are great with BMW knowledge, they are fair, up front and they go the extra mile. It's the only shop I will take my BMW to anymore. Ryan is doing some cool stuff at his shop and he is a really nice guy. They are BMW guys, not just any European car shop, they specialize on one manufacturer (obviously the name says this already). They are worth checking out for sure. read more

Great guys, easy to talk to, always upfront about the prices, very knowledgable and answer every question you have, very easy to get a hold of which is a huge thing. I'm never going anywhere else with my e92 m3 read more

Ryan is super cool! Met him last week to help me find parts for my car. I don't know much about cars so I needed his help on what kind of parts I should get. I told him what I was trying to do and he ruled out things I shouldn't get and left me with a couple options to choose from. He was honest and wasn't trying to screw me in price. The part that I got ended up exceeding my expectations!! I am a week in and I love the purchase I made. Thanks Ryan! I'll be back for some more stuff soon. read more

Bimmerspeed is the best! I will never take my car elsewhere for any mechanical needs. If you own a BMW, this is the place for you. Friendly, fair prices, and fast! Thanks again, Ryan! read more

Much over due review. Ryan had always been my go to guy for my oil changes on my C 300 eversinceidiscover his shop . His work and ethics are amazing and his customer service is like no other. I used to go to a different shop in point loma, but I'm glad I found bimmerspeed along the way. Do not hesitate going foot him to his shop if your car is in need. His prices are very reasonable and you will leave a happy customer. You can tell by the reviews that his customers are always pleased. Do not pay the over priced dealer quotes, go to Ryan instead. read more

I'm a relatively new BMW owner. I picked up a used but very clean 2000 540i Touring with about 100K on it. I knew it had some minor fluid leaks and one potential mechanical issue based on a sound it was making. I contacted Ryan the second week of November and he agreed to take a look at it for me on pretty short notice. His inspection of the car was very thorough. He identified all of the suspect leaks, the source of the sound, and even found a few things I was unaware of at the time. He also agreed to complete the work before he left town the weekend before Thanksgiving. While doing the final check on the car just before I picked it up around 5pm on Friday, the battery went dead and the alternator began making a very unfriendly noise. Ryan (and Max - sorry if I got the name wrong) hustled to get me a replacement that evening and get it installed. All in all he repaired/ replaced gasket covers in a number of places on the engine, the water pump, two idler pulleys, radiator, spark plugs, and the aforementioned alternator. I don't have the service report in front of me but he also took care of a large number of small things (filters, wheel well cover, etc) while he had it. I got a lot of service for a very, very reasonable price. I also got a lot of info about taking care of the car and what to watch out for in the way of problems that may pressent themselves over time. Ryan and company know thier BMWs inside and out. It may sound a bit corny to say so but it felt like he cared about the car as much as I do. I'm hooked on BMWs and this first experience with Ryan has made me a lifelong customer. read more

Awesome service and honest guys. Safe yourself time, money and a headache. Come here! Best BMW shop in SD. These guys know what they are doing. Thanks Ryan. read more

Ryan is fantastic and the service provided at Bimmerspeed was excellent. This is place is honest, straightforward and experts at BMWs. read more

The name RYAN in BWM language is synonymous with professional quality expert service. He is straight forward honest trustworthy mechanic with great non pressure customer service that takes the time to fully explain what repairs needs to be done now vs what can wait. Although BMW are pricy repairs, his rates are less expensive than dealers and your receiving fast quality services. Don't waste your time with other mechanic shops or Dealers....Ryan and his team will do the job right the first time! read more

I got my brake fluids flushed today for my 2008 3-series and I have to say it was a pretty great experience today. I was searching for BMW repair shops and I found this one as one of the top rated shops on Yelp in San Diego. I went in and met the owner, Ryan, who got my info in the beginning and explained to me what their shop is all about. After talking to him, I began to get a sense of what he is like. Despite sporting a large beard and multiple tattoos on his arm reminiscent of a Harley-Davidson biker, Ryan is a genuine expert at servicing BMW vehicles. He explains that they are a business to make customers happy and not necessarily to "strike it rich". I asked them how much it would cost beforehand over the phone to get my brake fluids flushed, and he quoted me $100 out the door and would take about 30-45 minutes. This immediately appealed to me considering how BMW San Diego quoted me $300 and did not say it would take about 30 minutes to complete. You might wonder a place like this would use genuine BMW components. I asked Ryan about and he said they do and the brake fluid that would be put into my car would also be genuine. They keep costs down by having 1 rack in their small garage and Ryan is the primary servicer. You might have doubts about a small garage like this, but the nice thing about this is that the waiting room was next too the rack where my car was hoisted up for service so I could immediately see what work was being done. I explained to them that I was kind of curious how they changed the brake fluids so Ryan was immediately welcoming me to come over and take a look. The transparency of the whole servicing made it feel like as if a handy-family member was working on my vehicle. They were literally finished within 30 minutes. The waiting room was a pleasant experience. There was a 52"(?) TV with cable and a PS3 available for usage, along with a leather couch. I think the nicest/most generous perk is the Keurig machine they have the waiting room. Those machines are pricey and the fact that a small repair shop like this has one with many K-cups available just serves as a subtle reminder that they care about you. Another small attribute that gave me a good impression about this place was they accept credit card, with no price difference whether you pay by cash or card. This may not seem like a big deal to all, but it does irritate me when small businesses only accept cash or they charge a fee for using credit card. I do have to say that I do kind of judge a business if they charge differently for using credit card, and this place continued to impress me. It makes it so much more convenient for the customer. I think this place has been open for about 2 years. This place could be a real BMW Repair gem in San Diego. Hopefully the quality of the customer experience will not fade over time. Highly recommended. Will come back again and recommend to other BMW owners. read more

Bimmerspeed is amazing. After my warranty expired I found Ryan on Yelp and he has consistently delivered nothing less than excellent service. He is quick, extremely knowledgable about BMW's, and affordable. He also fixes little things here and there for free which is great since owning a BMW can be pricey. I now wonder why I ever went to the dealership. If you're in the market for someone to keep your car in tip-top shape, look no further! read more

I took my 2007 BMW in for the first time yesterday. Not your usual repair shop-much better. More like having a friend or relative that is trained and experienced in BMW care. I had to wait for it and they had it fixed sooner than expected. I am a woman, and need to be able to trust the people taking care of my car. Ryan went over some things with me, showing me also. I have never had that happen before. Thanks for taking care of me. read more

Ryan and his team correctly diagnosed the issue with my car. At first, I thought my brake pads needed to be replaced given the warning light from the software in my computer. His technician correctly identified the issue and fixed the problem in a timely manner. Bimmerspeed's honesty and timeliness makes me a repeat customer. read more

Solid work for a fraction of the price at a dealer. Definitely showed Ryan knew what he was doing when I took my car to him in relation to a fuel system leak. I will definitely take my car back to him with confidence because of his honesty and fairness in price. read more

Went to Ryan for help with a noisy aftermarket suspension on my M3. He fixed the car up and made some adjustments that completely eliminated the noise. He also gave the car a once-over and informed me of maintenance items that will be coming up in the future. Ryan is a great mechanic and a true BMW enthusiast. If your car needs anything at all take it to Ryan! read more

Ryan at Bimmerspeed is a life saver to say the least! After taking my 2002 325 CI to a highly recommended BMW Certified Repair center in La Jolla, for a simple checkup, I was told I needed a new valve cover and gasket, a new cam sensor, and a new Vanos assembly, with a grand total of just over $900 in parts and labor. A kind demeanor was no where to be found at this shop, it seemed to me that they were only concerned with making money here, no "Hi, how may I help you?" no smiles, just a cold, here is what is wrong and this is how much we charge... So back to the web I went, where I was overwhelmed with places to take my European Model, I called numerous places in the area to get a couple quotes on what I had been told was wrong with my vehicle. I found three quotes ranging from $800 to $950 but wasn't satisfied with any of the numbers. So I gave Bimmerspeed a ring, and to my surprise I had finally contacted someone who seemed genuinely interested in solving my problems. Ryan was a straight shooter from the get go, and advised me to come in so he could give my car a second look. After 20 minutes, Ryan had hooked up his computer and put pen to paper and put down a price that I almost chuckled at. He said my valve cover a ($260) piece of plastic was in perfect condition but the small oil leak that we could see was caused by the gasket itself and not a warped cover like I had been told. He proceeded to make my day by telling me that the Vanos assembly was probably relaying a poor test because of the cam sensor failing to return a positive test. I couldn't tell if he was spoon feeding me B.S. or if he was an automotive genius who knew everything there was to know about my vehicle. To my surprise everything Ryan explained to me was spot on, he said that he would start by replacing the Valve gasket, and then take care of the Cam sensor, then hook it back up to the computer to make sure all problems were solved. I was blown away at the speed that he moved, like a jedi with a socket wrench, he had the top half of my engine in pieces in minutes, with every movement he made something was getting done. Ryan is not in this business to waste any hard earned dollars, the man works hard and does a tremendous job all around. After 45 minutes he came into the waiting room and told me I was all set, he had the computer hooked up and preformed the test right in front of me, I was amazed yet again, all error readings were gone! We had talked about the price before he went to work and I would have been more than happy paying him the price he estimated at $220, but that wasn't what Ryan asked for, he handed me a new invoice with $180 on the bottom line. Having just saved me over $700, and teaching me a lot about my BMW, I wanted to buy the man dinner, but Ryan just wanted a handshake. I could tell that he was happy just knowing that he made someones day a little brighter. Ryan, thank you so much for being honest, professional, and caring, it's truly a breath of fresh air to know there's still good people out there! read more

WOW! to say these guys are the best is an understatement. They will exceed your expectations, very professional. They even had the total below the original quote, something I wasn't used to. Previously I took my cars to other Big Indy Shops, but they have become too big and never can get you in within a day or so, charging a premium (like the dealer) or will treat you like another number, NOT THESE GUYS!. Ryan was very personal and was able to fit me in to meet my schedule, again something I wasn't used to. I have experience with these cars and know when I'm being BS'd, but talking to them I realized they were enthusiast like me and very honest. read more

So I am new to the Euro Domestic Market and my first EDM ride entering the scene is a 04 Audi A4 quattro! And i was excited to get my first turbo awd car... And wouldnt you know, as soon as i got on the highway and accelerated, my turbo burned up! Costing me alot of money for factory Audi services! Based on the factory prices/charges and the lack of performance the awd turbo Audi was offering me i began to do alot more research as far as bang for buck in the performance/luxury depot. In my travels i came across a 2002 325ci BMW that had a great price but also came with "great price" problems! Meaning the engine needed a head gasket. I then contacted a place called Bimmerspeed that was in the local area that was Qualified Factory Certified BMW Master Tech. Bimmerspeed was able to help get my new to me Bmw on the road with a quickness and with care. Since the new head gasket my car has been running perfectly and i have even paid them a visit for some aftermarket performance suspension installation.. car handles like a dream! Can not wait to see what they can help with in the future! I recommend Bimmerspeed to anyone with a EDM aut read more

Ryan is awesome! I was referred to him by another mechanic and he actually called me first before I got the chance to. Customer satisfaction is definitely a huge priority for him.
