I took my Mini Cooper here after dealing with issue after issue with my car shutting off unexpectedly. I had already taken it to multiple mechanics and even the Mini Cooper dealership, and nobody could give me a solid answer or real solution. Thankfully, my boss recommended this shop, and I'm so glad he did. They were honest, knowledgeable, and actually took the time to figure out the real problem. What I appreciated most was that they tried to help me fix the issue before having me spend more money on unnecessary repairs. Since bringing my car here, it hasn't shut off once. It's such a relief finally finding a mechanic I can trust. Highly recommend! read more

Shout out to Nathan, Cesar, and Mickey. I had been looking around for a trustworthy shop to take my recently acquired E30 M3 to for maintenance and installation of an AC conversion kit, and other cooling parts. From the first phone call, I felt comfortable that these guys knew what they were doing and that I was in good hands. I had reached out to other shops prior to Bullet Performance and each of them had poor customer service or lacked interest. Not here. These guys are the real deal. I am glad I found an honest, trustworthy shop to take my E30 M3 into for any future repair, maintenance, and upgrades. The work performed exceeded my expectations. read more

Bullet Performance - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Bullet Performance knows their BMWs! Have had mine serviced on two occassions so far (oil change/brake flush and pads/rotors). Great work and all done within a couple hours. The customer service and the quality of the work was much better than my multiple service visits over 4 years with the major local dealer. Bullet Performance has become my go to shop and I've referred several friends as well. read more

Another great experience at Bullet Performance. I can't say enough nice things about Nate and his customer service. He did a wonderful job on our Mini Cooper. Definitely going back for future auto needs. read more

Overall. pretty impressed with the speed and quality of service. Too many times, it's happened that you get your older vehicle serviced and places KNOW how to service vehicles mechanically, but they aren't the best at knowing how to touch things that are older, nor the common issues and the sixth sense that comes with servicing older vehicles - especially European cars. Shops can fix it, but too many times, every having serviced it at the dealer - I get the feeling that many shops didn't care even after a high repair bill because she's an older car. We took our E38 here, I towed here in around 10 am, and she was ready by the end of the day. They called me very quickly to tell what the problem is and even addressed 2 other issues. They offer a warranty on their service, and they are of course, BMW enthusiasts themselves. We just moved to Orange County, and I feel happy we made the right choice when searching for a BMW shop. Honestly, very good experience. Prices were fair, service was good. I didn't feel they were trying to upsell me on anything. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Bullet Performance is an amazing shop that has taken great care of my car, i have an e38 and they have performed a water pump service, coolant bleed, and my serpentine belt replacement. I highly recommend this place Nathan at the front desk is very helpful and nice , and the prices are very fair . 5/5 stars read more

There is no better BMW shop in the local area - unless you like paying 3x at the dealer. Highly recommended, especially for major rebuild work or high skill cap requirement jobs. Saves you money vs other shops. (They serviced these for me over the years: 2006 M3 / 2012 135i / 2014 435i gran coupe) read more

Fast and reliable performance parts for BMW for an affordable price compared to the dealer...

My car is absolutely atrocious sometimes. Bullet is always happy to take my car in and fix it up. My car is older than I am so sometimes some stuff goes south but each time I take it there for when I don't have time, they always do. Been taking my E39 here for over a couple years now since I got it and they've done everything from big jobs like suspension/timing to silly rookie error repairs (aka, my mechanical oopsies). All good fun over there. Highly recommend read more

Absolutely as good as it gets when you need BMW repairs. They refused to do service where others had said it was necessary but Bullet showed me that those items were in great shape. They did not want to take my money for things that did not need work. The work that they did do was fast and very well done. They specialize and do not try to be a 'We can fix anything' kind of place. Friendly, knowledgable, and fair. You can't ask for anything more than that. read more

The guys here are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. All their work is top notch and their pricing is extremely fair. Highly recommend! read more

I only keep newer BMW's because I don't have the time to keep old BMW's running. Being very picky about service and expecting it to be Euro quality I have to say they have done my alignments and brakes and rotors better than the dealer on my 2023 BMW 540m. They always go above on beyond to handle repairs and keep the classic BMW vibe happening. lol read more

Great job Bullet thank you for taking good care of my e38 . I recommend this shop for your bmw care .

If you love your BMW, you will take it to BULLET performance Super clean very impressive shop Nate, Adam, and Chris I have been in the automotive world for 30 years And I'm not easily impressed today. I was impressed. They went above and beyond what I ask, true professionals. read more

Charged me $2300 to reconnect a wire and charge me for multiple days of labor and made me order a whole new part for a car that I did not need claiming they've never seen this problem before yet, this is what they do, they are supposed to be car professionals yet seemed so confused about a wire being disconnected and having to charge me thousands of dollars for their lack of knowledge. If I was the owner I would eat the cost instead of passing it to the customer seeing it was their inability to properly diagnose and fix. Now unfortunately I won't be going back here and will be passing along the word of mouth that they would rather get paid than have a satisfied customer that would do repeat business and refer new customers. Would have been much better off just taking to the dealership. read more

Soo glad I found this place!! Great service, friendly, not overpriced!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Avoid this shop at all costs. They damaged several parts on my car unrelated to what was being worked on. I brought my car in for service, and it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had with any business, period. * They broke two engine covers during service. * They damaged my clock spring FIVE times -- I had to keep coming back for them to "fix" it, and it was only resolved after I SENT them the right part to fix it. * They left my battery disconnected, which left me stranded when my car died unexpectedly. * When I finally got my car back, it was missing bolts, pins, and clips everywhere -- clear signs of rushed and careless work. * I tried contacting them for three months with no response. When I finally showed up in person to ask for the parts they broke, I was met with verbal abuse and the owner even made disturbing threats of self-harm in front of me. This place is dangerous, unprofessional, and irresponsible. read more

Great place! I can tell these guys love what they do here. Came in for an electrical diagnosis on a 2004 E46 M3 Convertible with SMG transmission. Nate was confident him and his team could figure it out. Nate and his team worked overtime to get the car off the two truck, which was difficult since the transmission was locked in gear. Mickey diagnosed the car very quickly. One blown fuse and $200 later I'm back on the road, where other places close by didn't even want to look at something electrical. I wanted to tip the team, but Mickey refused! They've got a customer for life!!!!! read more

Nate, Aaron, and the whole team at Bullet Performance were great to work with when my car needed major service. They were timely, communicative, and fair with pricing. I'll certainly be coming back and I have nothing but good things to say about Bullet. They're the real deal! read more

It was my first time taking my 2017 BMW 340i after we thought my engine was done. My bf called around and asked questions and felt confident in having my car towed here. Mickey and his staff were amazing and suuuper knowledgeable! They explained every single thing that was wrong, step, part, cost, etc and they made my car run like brand new again! Will definitely be taking my car back here if ever needed and recommend for others! read more

I took my E92 to Bullet about a month ago. The car overheated while driving on a Friday afternoon and had my car towed. My mechanic came by to take a look at my car and he said it could of been one two things. A hose that circulates the coolant, which was torn, or the water pump that could of cause the hose to tear in the first place. He recommended Bullet to have them work on my car. I called them on Tuesday morning and I was able to get my car in that same day. They even gave me a ride to my work while they worked on my car. By the time the day was over, they gave me a ring that my car was ready. So far my car has been running like before with no issues. I was surprised how quickly they were able to fix my car and how reasonable their prices are. I'm definitely putting this shop as my go to, for all my BMW needs! read more

Awesome awesome awesome! Professional and consistently helpful. What a great team here. Experts in Bimmers! read more

Spoke to Mickeys son and he was clear about the quote interviewed from the dealership. He gave me a quote over the phone that was half the price. I took a chance. Car was done in 1 day and I have not had any problems in 2 months so I guess it's good. Nice place and honest people. I'm happy to find someone to trust my BMW. read more

Came In during an emergency walk in. The gentlemen were able to help me out with my oil issues concerning my 2017 BMW 320i. They got the job done in about an hour and charged me $155 for the oil change. Would recommend. read more

See all

I did not appreciate that when I called and made an appointment for my car to be seen that there was a going to be a fee just for diagnosing my car's problem. I respect that it may be their business process but I should have been told upfront. I paid the $85 and asked if that was something they tell you before and the guy behind the counter said "sorry, I thought someone told you." Not cool. I took my car to 4 other MINI mechanics that week and none of them charged me a fee to look at my car. I asked the two others I took it to after and they both said they'd never charge a diagnosis fee for what I brought it in for. Sharing this so hopefully someone will see this and ask if they aren't told about the diagnostic fee. read more

I trust these guys and that's hard to find. Have been taking my car here for a couple years now based on recommendation from a friend. Previously the only place I knew that serviced BMWs was the dealership, which is so expensive. This place is always able to squeeze me in the days I need it and also comes in with costs lower than I am expecting. Several times they didn't even charge labor and their parts are also inexpensive. read more

Quick response to my inquiry for an oil change on my 2021 530e. They got me in and out very quick.

I've had work done to my 435 (rip) and m235i here. hands down the best place for anyone with a bmw! from something as simple as an oil change to a full on motor swap, they can do it. you can feel the passion behind the employees there and it really makes every visit I have there almost surreal. thank you to everyone there for your hard work! read more

I recently took my E92 M3 to Bullet Performance to get serviced. Nate, Adam and Chris were all top notch. They were all very knowledgeable, trustworthy and friendly. The shop itself was very clean and organized. I'll definitely be going back for future services. I'd highly recommend Bullet Performance for anyone that has a BMW. read more

Fantastic group of mechanics. Made a 1986 BMW 528e run like a top again. Thank you Micky and the boys.

Not taking my car here. I talked to Micky and asked for a quote on walnut blasting...Nothing more. Micky came back a minute later and said $1,700 because they needed to put on a new gasket and Intake manifold. There is nothing wrong with my intake manifold. They just don't want to clean it as it's easier for them to just put a new one in. So what do I think. I think this is a shop where the client really needs to be on their toes. Walnut blasting at other shops in O.C. is approx. $450 to $500. read more

Had an alignment done at another shop the car didn't drive straight after and the shop claimed that was the best they could do. Brought it over to Bullet Performance and they looked at the car and inspected all suspension components. Performed a new alignment and car drives straight and the steering wheel is centered. Very professional team and customer service. Really appreciated that they constantly gave me updates with what they found and how they were going to fix the car. The technician there even came out to ask me how I wanted to align the car and explained what he found and how he fixed the issue I was having with the alignment. He took his time to align the car and make sure everything was perfect. If you're looking for a dealership level work, great customer service, knowledge, and attention to detail this is the place to go. read more

They supercharged my 95 840ci and installed a Dinan rearend/diff for me years ago. Dinan actually recommended them to do the install. They did a great job and very satisfied. They now have my 08 M5 for a big job, a rat/rats got into my engine bay and set up home. They've been very responsive and helpful so far. read more

These guys are very honest, helpful, and great service. I took my off warranty car here for a couple of repairs and they were efficient and even the owner, Micky, discussed a communication mix up with me directly. I recommend Bullet Performance! read more

First time here, set up an appointment for a simple oil change just to see what the place was like. Great vibes, a-lot of racing decor which is awesome , being that I'm a fan of F1 and most rouse course racing!!! Chill spot, I'd recommend it for sure read more

Bullet Performance - Great shop, cool peeps! I like the fact that as soon as I walked in I was greeted !! That goes a long way with a lot people.... - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Bullet Team, Just wanted to drop you all a quick note about the engine and drivetrain rebuild you completed on my E39 M5 a few weeks ago. The M5 is running beautifully. The combination of all of your work came into focus to result in near perfection. I made a few observations over the past month: Jimmy Schuck and Nate Knight - You guys coordinate things beautifully around there. You know when to get people in and how to set delivery timelines and expectations - so your technical team can make them happy. That is not an easy balance to hit. You are car guys, so you understand your customers and you provide extra details to make customers feel special. For example, most people wouldn't agree to photo document customer jobs - as you did for me. Thank you! Adam Koch - Your militant attention to detail is overwhelmingly evident in every corner of that engine, engine compartment and drivetrain. Clean but militant? Yes, cleaning the inside of the transmission bell housing qualifies for ocd levels of militant detail. You are sick and I am grateful. At shutdown, it smells like a new engine when I open the hood. Aint no dust, dirt, rodents, oil, road grime to cook up - anywhere. I am so glad you were on my project! Thank you! Manny Ixtacuy - It's worth mentioning that you didn't just "hose off the car". Outside and inside was spotless. You deep cleaned the floor mats! The car was so clean that if I hadn't been in the shop bugging you guys every week and witnessing it first hand - I never would have believed the complete engine and drivetrain were ripped out of it! Thank you! Mickey Miller - I'm not sure what you did. Just kidding! Giving these guys the implements they need and the freedom to work without micro managing them, all the while providing guidance and support when necessary - was impressive to watch. You made it look easy and I know it aint. Ultimately, with all those moving pieces, you delivered what you said you'd deliver, when you said you'd deliver it for the price you said it would cost. Been doing this long? :-) Thank you! Thanks again Bullet! I highly recommend your team! Eric Loiacano read more

I needed to get a series of mods done to my bmw m340i. Bullet Performance had reasonable prices for the work. They were able to install a Dinan exhaust, an aftermarket diffuser along with mirror caps. We did deal with some issues regarding fitment but Adam was amazing and kept great communication. They don't half-ass their work, and the quality is amazing. I highly recommend them. I know that I'll definitely be coming back for future modifications! read more

Great service, really knowledgeable and friendly staff. Good prices. Nice waiting area with wifi and desks. Came here for an oil change and some weird exhaust rattle on my 2016 BMW 340. The tech was able to diagnose my rattle problem just by me describing it. In about 1.5 hours I was out the door with everything fixed. I'm working from home so that 1.5 hours flew by as I worked on my laptop from one of their work stations. I would definitely come here again. They get pretty full so be sure to call ahead and make a reservations at least several days in advance! read more

Needed my AC fixed. I didn't feel comfortable going to the dealer as I've had some issues in the past. A couple friends told me about Bullet Performance. Finally made an appointment and went in. They told me they'd call me around 2p to let me know what was happening. Nathan called! They were having some issues and said they were doing a few things to check it out and would try to make it work. An hour later, Nathan called back and said they figured it out and my car was good to go! Appreciate the communication, follow up and your extra efforts to figure it out. I'll be back for all my mechanical needs! Thanks!!! read more

Nate is the man. I drive a F10 M5 and Nate makes me feel very comfortable. I prob bother him too much with emails. He helps with all my M5 services, upgrades, and dumb questions. If you have any questions about anything, give Bullet a call. If you get Nate, you're in great hands for sure. read more
