I visited this shop last year to replace a part on my 2017 Subaru and requested an alignment, for…read morewhich I was charged $100. At the time, I was traveling to LA and didn't have the opportunity to return and follow up on some unresolved issues. Unfortunately, those problems resurfaced this year, likely due to the incomplete work from that visit. I decided to give the shop another chance a few weeks ago, but in hindsight, I was mistaken to be swayed by the low prices. I requested a diagnostic, but instead of a thorough evaluation, I was referred to the dealership. The dealership conducted their own diagnostics--adding to my expenses--and ultimately repaired the issue, which the shop had initially suggested replacing entirely, without exploring alternative solutions. While this shop may appear cost-effective, I've learned that cheaper isn't always better. Sometimes, the lower upfront cost ends up being more expensive in the long run. Never going Back Again.

I decided to see if I could find a cheaper place, since it wasn't anything major, and I found that The Bimmer Guys was in the area with amazing reviews and half the price of the dealership. I made an appointment and was late, per usual, but they didn't mind. Got me in and out in 30 minutes. Professional and efficient. No complaints. I will be back

I normally come to Bimmer Guys but took my X5 M50i to an unnamed dealer service department in the…read moreEast Bay for an oil change due to scheduling constraints. I got there and had to endure the typical upsell tactics before they did the oil change and looked me in the eye and insisted my front differential was leaking. Despite not being able to answer all my questions on how they knew for certain, they quoted me 5 figures to replace. No lie. So I brought my car back to Bimmer Guys. They took a look at it on the rack and drove the car around. They explained that it looked like old residue from a previous oil change and they saw no sign of leaking. He cleaned it off, set an appointment a month later to see if the leak stains reappear. I came back 30 days later and the differential is still clean despite driving it around. I'm sure there are a lot of good mechanics out there but Bimmer guys are legit, professional, honest, and transparent. They have proven on multiple occasions that they are genuinely in business to help people and not get over or scam you. They have earned my trust and as long as I'm in a BMW, I will continue to use them to service and repair my vehicle. I highly recommend them if you're looking for an honest mechanic and tired of the dealership service experience.

My serpentine belt had ripped and I took it in to see if I could get it replaced. As soon as I pulled up I was approached by a mechanic and I showed him what had happened. He asked me to turn on my car and we both noticed the pulley on the power steering pump was not turning straight and was wobbling. He turned off the car and said that that entire part needed to be replaced, which I agreed with. I asked him how much and he went to get another guy to take a look at it. When he came over he glanced at us and then at the car and said it would cost us $400 total for both the part and labor. In desperation and in need for my car, I agreed and asked him how long it would take. He said 2 to 3 hours, so we gave him the key and left. An hour or so later he calls me and starts off by saying "Oh, you're going to need more work done! The AC compressor is no good! It's not turning, you're going to need to replace it!" Confused and even more stressed out, I asked him how much that would cost. He said it would be $1,000 all together. I started to feel suspicious of it because when I handed the car over, I had no issues with my AC at all. I asked him if the car would still be drivable if I didn't replace it. He made it seem like it would be a very bad issue if I didn't replace it, but I could "temporarily" drive it for emergencies. I told him to not do anything extra but to replace the Power Steering pump like we had agreed. An hour later I went to the shop to wait. No one came to ask me why I was there or asked if I needed help. I had to wait until the mechanic working on my car came in and noticed I was in there. He starts off saying that my car now has a funny noise and that it was coming from my compressor. I felt so upset because my car wasn't making that noise at all when I left it. He told me that he couldn't guarantee that the work he did would be okay if something else happened to it. He tried to show me the price of the AC compressor on his computer to explain why he wanted to charge me $1000. The whole situation seemed very off and I just wanted to pay and leave. I checked my AC and it was working fine and it was blowing out cold air. My gut was telling me that he was being dishonest/suspicious. About three weeks later, the same pulley is now having issues. It is not spinning straight and I'll now have to get that part replaced again. If that part is brand new, why am I having the same issues? I have pictures to show the damage on the pulley on this "brand new" part. We had called them to explain what happened and they told us to bring it back but honestly I don't want anything to do with them and I hope others are cautious if they give them business.
