Very happy with the work and the value . Damian is extremely knowledgeable and explains the necessary work in great detail which is most appreciated . Thanks guys ! read more

So I was heading out to lunch yesterday and my 2005 Subaru Forester left me stranded 3 blocks from my job, when I pressed the clutch to put it in gear, the clutch would not pop back up , so I walked it back to work. I called several mechanics, but a lot of them could not see me same day , called Renner Racing, Daymon said to bring it on in, so when I had a chance I was able to drive to his shop on side streets in first gear , within minutes his crew notice the clutch fork was broken, he said he could have it ready by next day, I was shocked at how fast the turn around was, picked it up today , clutch is now smooth like butter. I am amazed at the quality of work, prices are fair, if you need your Subaru service , look no further , this shop is A+++. Would absolutely recommend. read more

Have been bringing my 2010 STI to Renner for years and have never been let down. Damyan and the staff at Renner are amazing and definitely the top, if not the best, Subaru shop in SoCal! They have a wealth of knowledge and can tackle anything you need, from anything small like an oil change to a complete engine swap/rebuild. They have great prices and I never feel overcharged when I come in. I'll continue to bring my Subaru here for years to come. Thanks guys! read more

Renner Racing Development - My 2010 Subaru STI in for service. - Auto Repair Near Me - Carson, California

Damyan and his team are extremely invaluable when it comes to any and all things Subaru! I've been going to them for everything that my car needs (and wants) after having gone to a few reputable shops when I first got my STI, there's no place like Renner Racing! They helped solve a problem that no one else was able to diagnose and I was even told by other shops (that don't specialize in Subie's) to just ignore a code that could have made the issue worse. They are my only go to mechanic shop now for major or very minor issues/ maintenance! Who better to work on your car than people who are enthusiasts themselves? You can just tell that they care about your concerns about your car. Their prices are very reasonable for the amount of attention to detail they put into their work! I highly recommend them! read more

great shop to take your car to for any service big or small. everyone is super knowledgeable and upfront and transparent. highly recommend

Absolutely love Renner, they are the BEST! Kind, professional, expert service. No other shop will ever touch my car. The guys at Renner are very knowledgeable and super helpful. I am confident and comfortable whenever my Subaru is at Renner. #1 read more

Renner Racing Development - Auto Repair Near Me - Carson, California

Picked up a well abused 02 WRX for cheap and had them do some shift bushing replacements. At first I was very skeptical, I usually am especially with a new shop I'm working with. I got a second opinion on some of the recommendations needed, it was all confirmed accurate, and ended up moving forward with resealing up the block (there were oil leaks everywhere). Now it drives like new, doesn't drip or lose any oil at all, and I trust the Subaru experience they have. If you're on the fence or worried about taking your car here, I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend them. Talk with Damyan and he'll get you setup! read more

Called Renner after getting a $1200K quote for Brake replacement on all 4 wheels from the Subaru Dealership. Damyon(sp?) gave me a quote over the phone for just about half off the Subaru dealership quote, fully warranted! Got me in same day and had me back picking it up in about 2 hours or so. I may have just found my new Subaru mechanic for my 2018 Crosstrek! Great service all around! read more

You've got a dream build or regular mechanic issues this is the place for you're Subaru !! And the hook you up with the best tune shop in Southern California!! read more

Renner Racing Development - Auto Repair Near Me - Carson, California

Damyan is very knowledgeable and friendly. Had answers and recommendations to every question I had and then some. Very happy I found this shop, had a new clutch installed it feels great. Will continue to go back for mods and over all care for my car. read more

Amazing spot towed my sti over to these guy with the hope that they can fix up my car. I had messed up my engine and these guys took care of my car. They did great work, great communication with the details and break down on what's going on. They will not proceed without confirmation from the owner of the car. I will and continue to bring my subi to these for future maintenance and part installs. I would recommend 100% read more

My new home for my Subaru maintenance and repairs. Just brought for an oil change, great price. The staff did a great job with my car inspection and went over in great detail on recommendation for a future repair. Thank you Renner Racing Development. read more

Damyan's been a great help with both my GC and my lifted WRX wagon. I've gone to them for a couple vehicle post-purchase inspections & a clutch job most recently & they've been very transparent with what I needed to get back on the road, on top of explaining everything I needed to get both my cars solid. Great team they got there, definitely gonna come back as long as I'm in Southern California. read more

Words can barely express the value that Damyan and his team provided to me. I am purchasing a 2019 STI from 2 states away (WA State) and Damyan was more than happy to help me schedule a pre-purchase inspection and was able to incorporate new Spark Plugs and an Oil Change easily with the process. The service itself is fairly standard, but the quality of communication and professionalism from him and his team is outstanding. Damyan kept me updated frequently on the progress and provided several detailed photos and clear test results following the inspection. Not only that, but he even went so far as to point out some areas of negotiation potential with the purchase by noting small disfunctions or maintenance tasks that were in need of repair in the coming months. I only wish I actually lived near this shop as I'd use them for all tasks moving forward! Helpful, professional, and personable Subaru Shops are surprisingly hard to find in NW Washington so it is refreshing to have gotten the chance to work with this shop. 10 out of 10 would absolutely have them service my vehicle again if I ever get the chance! read more

Great shop, Subaru experts. Got me in for an inspection and made repairs same day so my son could drive his Outback up to Oregon the next day. Having an expert look it over let me know what we had to do now (CV axles, fluids and spark plugs) and what is coming in the future (water pump and cam cover gaskets). Great experience overall, will be my go-to Subaru shop from now on. Thanks Damian! read more

I would recommend this shop to any Subaru enthusiasts. Came here for a clutch replacement and it was professional. They even show you and explain what was the issue and the cause. 5+ read more

After hearing about these guys a few years back through Instagram and subiefest. I decided to give them a try when it came down to repairs I couldn't figure out on my own. Especially since it's a Subaru that requires more of a specialty touch you can't just take these cars to a random shop. I've gotten an evap repair done,a j pipe gasket installation done on the fly, and a turbo repair done with this shop and I'm glad I've chosen them. Damyan and the rest of the crew provide transparent and great service i honestly would not go somewhere else. They also provide great information when it comes to track prep aswell since they also hit the track aswell and they are very knowledgeable. read more

If I could give this place a 10 star rating I would. Long story short not to bore you, car was built at a shop that absolutely ruined my whole car and drivability. Pulled the trigger to get another professionals thoughts about the overall build and was unpleased to find out what I had assumed the whole time. Car was built to very poor standards. Rest assure now I'm in a better place due to the fact (Damian & Peter) father and son with racing heritage will take care of me going on from this point forward. Once again if you wanna bring your car to them you'll be truly taken care of with honest people that do honest work. read more

Been going here for about a month now. Came here for my 60k regular maintenance. Not only was this way more affordable than dealer prices but Damien was extremely nice and knowledgeable enough to school me on how to properly care for my car. This place earned themselves another regular. Thanks guys. FYI. I drive an 18 Subi WRX. read more

After many failed service attempts and shitty work from the shop I used to go to because of the co-owner passing away unexpectedly, I decided to finally make my way to Renner. Damyan had the patience of a saint with me was super helpful in answering all my stupid questions and did my engine swap in 4 days! The team at Renner are master Subaru technicians with an amazing turnaround and they do it right from simple maintenance to 22B replicas. With a proven track record and vast knowledge of everything Subaru, do not hesitate to bring your subie here. Prices are super fair and quality of work is second to none. They look out for their customers and treat every car as if its their own. Much props to Damyan and everyone at Renner, you brought my car back to life again. read more

My experience at Renner was amazing. I had neglected my car for so long and the team at Renner brought it back to life. They did my timing belt, spark plugs, fluids and fixed the oil leaks that were leaving spots all over my driveway. My car was done same day and they were very communicative during the process. Will definitely be taking my Subaru there from now on. Thank you guys. read more

I have owned, modified, and maintained Subarus for 20 years. As a part-time racer and full-time automotive enthusiast and hobbyist, I am extremely particular about my vehicles and about who I trust any part of their care to for work I am not performing on my own. In all of those years I have been to countless shops around the Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside counties for tasks I either couldn't easily do at home without access to a lift (or just plain did not want to do), and I was satisfied or had good experiences with almost none of them...until I came to Renner Racing Development. I can't say enough about Damyan and his team, who are racers and enthusiasts themselves, with an extremely high degree of expertise, professionalism, and knowledge about all things Subaru related. They are well able, equipped, and ready to help you achieve your goals, whether your needs are basic maintenance, high performance, reliable daily driver, full-on purpose built race ready, or all of the above/anything in-between. From pre or post purchase inspections, to troubleshooting and repair, maintenance, or high performance projects, Damyan and his team take time to listen to your goals and/or understand your challenges, and then draw on a vast amount of experience and expertise to recommend exactly what you need to alleviate your issue(s), and map out a plan to achieve your goals. This is the first shop I've been to in years who actually listened to my inquires and took the automotive information I provided about my vehicle and its circumstances seriously, instead of deciding without paying attention to my goals that some half-assed, corner-cutting approach was the way to go in an attempt to turn me as the customer into an ATM machine. You'll experience NONE of that at Renner Racing Development. From post-purchase inspection, to larger tasks like clutch replacement and firewall reinforcement, Damyan and his crew have gone above and beyond for me, and have treated my vehicle with the same extremely high standards that I do. In addition to unparalleled automotive expertise, Damyan and team are great to be around, easy to talk to, and Damyan himself is very communicative and on top of things. He'll always let you know in advance what to expect, and will contact you while performing work if anything changes, or to let you know about things he and his team have encountered that you should be aware of. He makes spot-on recommendations, does not move forward without consent, and takes the time to make sure your questions are answered. This is the only automotive shop I will let touch my Subarus, and it's the only one you'll need for yours! Give them a call, it's the best decision you can make for your Subie! read more

My 2014 WRX started making the awful throwout bearing noise at 67k, and I knew the clutch had been burnt a few too many times so it was time to get on Renner's schedule. When I called to make an appointment I had a ton of questions and Damien patiently answered them all. I had grand plans to put in a heavy duty stage 2 clutch, but Damyan recommended against it given the drawbacks: heavier pedal, extra stress on the already weak firewall, and overall drivability being harder. Given my car is only lightly modified compared to most and is not tracked it made total sense. A heavy clutch in traffic wouldn't mix well. Damien recommended the Exedy OEM style replacement and a genuine Subaru rear main seal. Both products were a great fit for the car. I dropped the car off at 9:15am or so and the guys had it all ready by 3:45pm. They even went the extra mile to have the car running for a few minutes so that the e-throttle could re-learn since they disconnected the battery for the install. I can tell they took special care to reinstall some of my aftermarket parts, sensors etc. because everything was in the exact same spot as before the install. The engine bay was tidy as well (no grease, oil, etc.) with everything clean and tidy. On my way out, Damien reminded me about the break in period (1,000 miles) and to just go easy on the clutch as it fully seats in. Another example of their great customer service. The shop parking lot and shop itself is a Subaru lover's dream. They had everything from Global Time Attack winning cars to the everyday driver Forrester in for a oil change and tire rotation. If you are in the Southern California area and need your Subaru serviced, Renner is a great option. Just make sure you call ahead and schedule the visit, they book up fast! read more

I came to renners little over a year ago. I knew something was wrong with my engine and I've tested all the things I can do myself with the tools I had. Finally I decided to come in for what I dread. I came in for a compression test, sure enough my engine was gone. Damyan, his dad Peter, along with the rest of the crew made my car like new. Unfortunately a couple of months after the new engine rebuilt, my car was in an accident. Pretty much whole front end redone and rear subframe etc. I've only come to renners now to do any service or any questions I have. Damyan and his father have treated me with the utmost respect and I consider them like family now. What else would I call them for the service and patience they've had with me and my vehicle. Thank you again Damyan and Peter! read more

Here's a funny anecdote: I referred one of my friends who had recently bought a used outback to get it inspected. When I asked them about their experience he said he got intimidated because he said, "it seems like they work more on race cars" and I replied, "that's what makes them good!" Been taking my NA impreza here for nearly a year now for routine oil changes to exhaust work and have no complaints. The shop has clientele ranging from stock commuter outbacks to track ready IAG STIs so they have all the bases covered. Their services range from routine inspection to full builds (they've got several motors being built/rebuilt on any given day). Since they've had their hands in all these ranges of subarus, you can be assured that their work is quality. Their scope of knowledge is also vast as they've been in this business for a long time. Damyan gives you options concerning repairs or upgrades and can give you advice anytime. Damyan, his father Peter, and the guys in the shop are always friendly and efficient and im always comfortable leaving my car with them. Their work is backed by the words of several subie owners and having their own in house track cars. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality and the turnaround of the work, and beats most of the other specialist shops around. They're also an IAG certified installed if you're looking for a new block. read more

Renner has good prices and exceeds expectations on workmanship. These guys know what they're doing!! They always got your best interest in mind on how you want to go about getting your subie good. read more

Holy cow. So many Subaru's. Hahahaha it was like walking into a candy store for me. Anywho review is for Renner Racing mechanics and Damien or Damian. I brought the wifes car in for her power steering pump. I usually have a mechanic that works on the car but he was out of town. I came across Renner from a guy i sold tail lights to couple night prior. Mitch. He is tue mechanic who worked on the car. Anyway mitch told me swing by Renner and theyll take care of the pump and related parts. Long story short i brought a pump and all hoses related to Renner. They went and installed all parts. Car runs beautifully now. Well at least the power steering does. There are a few things that need to get done. A few leaks here and there. Will he getting those done there as well. The crew at Renner were awesome. Took care of the car and answered any random question i had. Their race car looks badass too. Check them out if you have a question or need a repair. Theyll take care of you. read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience with this shop and Damyan. Been in the car game awhile and I've dealt with such shitty mechanics that are not helpful, cocky, pricey and shady to where I'm not even sure they changed out the parts I've taken or bought from them. Not once did I doubt this shop, Damyan is super helpful and patient. Very responsive and didn't keep my car longer than quoted. If you own a Subaru and care for it I would highly suggest taking your car to them. Services performed on my car: Timing belt/water pump Clutch replacement 4th cylinder cooling mod install Steering rack replacement Spark plug replacement read more

Been coming to Ren for a quite some time now & this is the only shop that works on my car from a simple oil change to handling my rebuild these guys always get the job done ! read more

This is the best mechanic/tuner I have ever had the pleasure of being a customer. Most experiences at the dealership are a hassle, at Renner it's the furthest thing from it. I had my car at the Subaru dealership for 5 days. 5 days and no one could resolve the issue with my car or didn't care to. I kid you not after 20 minutes at Renner they discovered the issue and fixed it. That alone should be enough to end the review. Recently my car needed work done to the power steering. After my previous experience at the dealership I knew exactly where I wanted to take my car. Renner got me in immediately, fixed my car, and it drives better than before. You will always leave the shop knowing more about cars than you did walking in because the owner will always explain the issues, how to react, and how to avoid them in the future. Could not be more pleased with this business. I 100% recommend it to any Subaru owner. read more

This is my second time coming to Renner to have my 2012 Subaru Impreza serviced. I came across their business when the dealership informed me during a routine oil change that I would need to get my rotors and brakes replaced. Damyan and his team are extremely knowledgeable of all things Subaru, great customer service. They took the time to explain the work being done on my car and were extremely patient with all the questions I had. They are by appointment only which comes to show they take their time when performing services. Quality over quantity! They sure value their customers. 10/10 recommend ! bring your car here won't be disappointed. read more

As a returning customer, Renner Racing has earned my loyalty because of their consistent customer service and workmanship. I had a major engine rebuild a few years back. I shopped around and got multiple quotes, their pricing was very reasonable and with the assurance I got with Damon I knew these guys were the right choice. Since then, I haven't looked elsewhere for my one stop Subaru shop. I especially appreciate the after support and advice they have given me over the years. To this day, I still go in even for simple oil changes. I recommend them for to all my friends and car enthusiasts alike. Thank you Renner Racing family! read more

Brought my WRX in for a headgasket replacement, timing belts, clutch, APR head studs, oil pan, and the PCV hoses. They did all this and then some within 3 weeks while also taking pictures inside the engine to show the work being done. Damyan was super helpful and told me everything needed for the job along with recommended maintenance as well. I highly recommend this shop for any of your Subaru needs and I will definitely be back in the future. read more

Service was great, always available and open to putting in the work. I have been going once a year and they really are detailed when it comes to inspections. They remember what cars they worked on and put in the effort to make every car they work on reliable. Thanks again Renner! read more
