After taking my RV sprinter back to another local shop who did a repair a year prior and not only would they not stand by their work they quoted me three times the amount I originally paid. I then took that quote to Tim at Sprinter Pit Stop who I instantly got a good vibe from. He looked at the quote and laughed. Ended up saving $2000 in repairs and was informed the other shop had used cheap aftermarket parts and did the job wrong to begin with. I 10000% would recommend Tim and his guys at Sprinter Pitstop. Honest, quick service, friendly.... really can't say enough good things about these guys. read more

I purchased a 2019 Sprinter 4x4 144" 2500 earlier this year and Tim installed my windows: one on the sliding door, as well as two smaller ones in the rear. He also did my Agile Off-Road suspension upgrade, installed my tires & wheels, and was also able to fit me in for a couple last minute appointments to do an alignment and reset my airbag sensor. He also let me take on a little bit of water before getting on the road for my first night in my van!! :-) He is so nice, easy to talk to, and very responsive to texts!! read more

If you are considering Sprinter suspension upgrade - please read! If you are in San Diego, or not, this is the BEST SERVICE HANDS DOWN!!! Thanks to Tim, for going above and beyond for me on short notice. If not for you, and the hard work of your team installing (same day) the Van Compass 4.3 Plus, with B6, I might have been selling the Revel. I called various vendors that install both of the two common suspension upgrades. Some call this the VC 4.3 Plus -(the plus is having the Agile leaf springs. Three shops in OR told me this is their standard VC install on the Revel, 4.3 with Agile leaf springs. Tim got me in fast and was very responsive to questions. He sat me down with the physical struts and explained how it works. I Andrew and the team were informative, kind, and smiling when I asked questions. They do the alignment onsite. This is a nice time saver. Thanks for the reminder of re-torq in a few thousand miles. I have a 20201R 2020 chassis I purchased Feb of 2021. If you want more information on my experience and why I switched to the 4.3 Van Compass in seven months, contact me. I took the easier softer way and performed my own thorough due diligence by contacting shops and Revel owners all over the country. My drive home from San Diego to Santa Monica was three hours with some fairly strong winds on the 5, when it was wide open and driving 75. I could not wipe the smile off my face. Simply NIGHT AND DAY with Van Compass 4.3 Plus. Revel handled the wind like a dream and feels solid, stable, and safe. I have it set at 2.4 on the micro-dial. I have full confidence now that 4.3 with the adjustable settings is best for me and, most importantly, I feel safer driving in strong winds. If the wind moves the van into the next lane now, I will safely remove myself from the road and wait it out. There will always be the wind that can be dangerous for high-profile vehicles. Personally, after doing research I did not do last year, I decided I wanted the convenience of having the adjustability of the 4.3 and stability. I want to add that Owl Vans in Anaheim was awesome! Like many shops right now, they did not have the B6 in stock. I am also not sure if they would install the 4.3 with Agile leaf springs, which may not be for you anyway. I kept mine because I already paid for them, and found out that many other Revel owners have the same setup. I am sure the 4.3 with mini-leaf works great and has its own advantages, but I have not driven my van with the mini-leaf springs. I did not want to spend $1000.00 to replace the Sprinter stock springs that went in the recycle bin last June. This was an expensive decision, and one I should have made sooner. read more

We found this shop when we were stuck in a jam with our sprinter. We were broken down on the side of the road after a long road trip. Tim was able to quickly diagnose the issue and had our sprinter fixed up and back on the road before the end of the day. We are grateful for his professionalism and knowledge and now have a sprinter mechanic for life! read more

Great operation, looking into another sprinter. Tim and his crew of mechanics are top notch.

I just had my sprinter RV at their shop and I want to give Andrew my highest recommendation! He is intelligent, professional, courteous and helpful to the extreme. While we were at the shop, another customer came in and said he had tried every other sprinter repair shop in the area and none of them compared to the shop. thanks Andrew! You're the best! read more

I called Sprinter Pitstop on a Weekend right before closing time as I had an emergency start countdown message on my dash display and the fellas at Sprinter Pitstop were kind enough to stay and help me with my problem even though they were closed. I am great full to have came to this business these guys know what they are doing when it comes to Sprinter Vans! 100% recommended in my book! Thanks again fellas! Good looking out! read more

I've been having some issues with my Sprinter. I took it into a Mercedes dealership and they tried to upsell me, telling me my van needed a transmission (when it didn't). This repair shop diagnosed the torque converter and EGR, also performed a transmission flush and gave me a list of honest recommendations for the future. They saved me many thousands of dollars from Mercedes quoted price. My van is running great again! read more

I have had my sprinter van serviced by Tim and his team 2x now. They are a tenured and professional team that knows sprinters inside and out. Tim is always quick to respond via email and phone and gets straight to the point. Thank you Tim and the team at sprinter pit stop read more

Sprinter Pitstop - Body Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

Great service, very satisfied! Guys repaired rust on my 2006 Sprinter, did whole van paint job, installed side windows and roof fan. Also performed complete maintenance. Great price, professional work and great communication with Tim! Thank you read more

Tim and his team are the best. I have been to sprinter shops all over San Diego County and the IE, and Sprinter Pitstop is the best I've found. Tim is honest, reasonably priced and stands by his work. As an example, I had some work done and later that day when I returned home I heard a noise coming from the back tire. I was fully expecting to have to bring my van back down to his shop (I live almost 60 miles away) but Tim sent one of his technicians to me to make sure everything was working as it should. I have never experience that kind of service before. Top notch. Glad to have found Sprinter Pitstop. Give them a try. read more

Awesome guys! Went in for oil change and some advice on electrical concern. Great service, very fast, helpful and professional. We will be back! read more

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU PURCHASE A CAR FROM HERE!!!! A little less than a year ago, I purchased a Sprinter from Tim at Sprinter Pitstop, and it's been an absolute lemon. Within two weeks of purchase, it went into limp mode and the check engine light was on - it was still under warranty, so I just brought it back to Tim. He told me there was nothing wrong with it and gave the car back - this happened 3 times while the car was under warranty. Finally, tired of the back-and-forth, I took it to another shop, who told me that my turbo was in fact bad, and it would be a very expensive repair. I'm absolutely certain Tim at Sprinter Pitstop knew this, as he had even told me that the check engine light was due to a boost pressure code. The car also had an oil leak, which he "couldn't figure out where it was coming from" - a dealership told me it was in fact the Rear Main Seal, which would be major surgery to fix. Tim repeatedly lied to me about the condition my car was in, such that he wouldn't have to fulfill the warranty he sold me the car under and hence lose money. I wish I had never gone here, it's led to nothing but problems. read more

Went to have a fault code on my sprinter checked out. Got super fast service, I rolled up and while I was there he hooked up the PC and showed me what the codes were and explained everything to me so even I understood. Gave me a very reasonable price to fix it and within a day I had the van back better than ever and this all at like 1/3 of the price of the Mercedes dealer. They also do diesel tuning to get more power and better MPG. That will be my next trip there... Tim (owner) was awesome to deal with.. Will definitely go back and advise anyone with a sprinter todo so aswel. Dries read more

Tim was Great. Incredible service, knowledge and help on our sprinter buying process from start to finish. Helped find the right one, install windows and also provided a warranty. HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting your sprinter through these guys. read more

Tim is an awesome person. I bought a sprinter in 2016, and I really wanted to find someone local who could help me care for the vehicle. I found Tim online and I called him, and he answered and talked me through how his services work for maintaining a sprinter. Ever since, he has been a joy to work with - - he is always available to answer your call, his hours are super flexible, his fees are very reasonable, and most importantly, he does great work. He has a very awesome new space as well that he is building out to make his service offerings even better than before. I cannot say enough good things about Tim and his ability to maintain and repair your Sprinter. read more

The most pleasant to work with mechanic shop I've ever dealt with. Tim and his crew are professionals and his prices always reasonable. We just had our headlights replaced and his crew had us in and out in 15 min. If you have a sprinter in SD def make Sprinter Stop your first option for any repairs needed. read more

Good price and fast service! He changed alternator and found and fixed couple of issues that I didn't recognize read more

Sprinter Pitstop - Body Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

Great resource for Sprinter owners. No nonsense shop, with a lot of diesel Sprinter experience.

So I was in a market for a used sprinter van and a friend of mine recommended me these guys. Tim offered me to buy sprinter from the auction and that's what we did. The whole process was very quick as well as van delivery. I knew that it's gonna come with scratches and paint chips obviously so I decided to do touch up on some places and repainting of couple of parts. I was very pleased with service and professionalism. Overall 5 stars, definitely recommend! read more

Very friendly and competent owner. Went above and beyond. Stayed late an extra two hours to get the job done that day. Definitely would recommend read more

Brought in my 2006 Sprinter Winnebago with unknown issues and they diagnosed the issue quickly and efficiently. Tim and his team are absolute pros - experienced, honest, and affordable. A rare combination to find, especially in automotive. Thanks again! read more

My experience with Tim and his team was great. Friendly, great service, and fair price. Will definitely be back.

The check engine light came on in my work sprinter van and I needed a quick repair ASAP. Tim was super helpful and diagnosed the problem quickly, fixed it and I was on my way. Highly recommend if you need sprinter van repair in the San Diego area! read more

Tim is by far one of the best mechanics to deal with, I had a huge problem with my 2007 Dodge Sprinter and other shops had ripped me off telling me it was other problems just to get more money out of me but not Tim. Tim was honest with me from the start and even tried to fix the engine in a less expensive way but also told me that I may have to replace all 6 fuel injectors which would be expensive but alas Tim was with me every step of the way and kept me updated and fixed my van. Tim went out of his way to explain to me why these kinds of things happen and how to properly maintain my vehicle, instead of just handing me a receipt. If you have a Sprinter this is the shop to go to, 100% excellent service and knowledge! read more

Tim at Sprinter Pitstop performed several 100K service items on my sprinter-based RV. Tim is super knowledgeable about sprinters and all the work was done quickly. read more

Bought a used Sprinter from Artem at a great price. He also installed a second row of seats, painted it, and installed new flooring. I had a few issues with the check engine light firing and he was happy to fix it at no cost. Great guy, great service. Highly recommend. read more

I could not be happier with Sprinter Pitstop. I have a diesel Mercedes and was having a hard time finding a mechanic to work on it. Was about to go to the dealership before I found this place. First, I called as soon as they opened and spoke with Tim. He told me I could come right away and I did. I was able to leave my van there to be worked on right then and there, which was amazing. Even better, I was able to pick it up the same day. Tim fixed my mass air flow sensor, changed hoses, oil change, transmission service and more in less than a day. Super knowledgeable and great customer service. Went right after to get my smog check done and passed! They said my mechanic must know what he's doing. I'm so glad I found this place and won't take it anywhere else now! Thanks, Tim and Sprinter Pitstop! read more

LOYAL and HONEST. I have recommended Tim to a number of people and everyone has been extremely happy with their buy. I purchased a 2008 Dodge Sprinter 2500 from Tim in February. My boyfriend and I are renovating it to travel the US. When we bought it we didn't realize that the back door latches did not connect because they were bent from the previous owners. We texted Tim and he said it's not under our warranty but bring it in anyway and he will see what he can do. He fixed it for us! We are so grateful for his loyalty to his customers! After, we drove across the country (6000 miles). One day we felt a jolt and then our transmission would not shift out of first gear. We brought it to the nearest Aamco and they quoted us $850 for the fix. Realizing we were still under warranty (10k miles for power train), I texted Tim a picture of the quote and explained what happened. WITHIN MINUTES, he agreed to what aamco diagnostic was and shipped out all the parts were needed to fix our transmission. He also told us that Aamco was over charging us a lot! So we decided to go elsewhere for the labor. If we were in San Diego at his shop he would have done the labor too! We are so happy that Tim is loyal enough to adhere to the warranty even tho we are 2500 miles away! I would 100% recommend the sprinter pitstop to everyone. Best prices, honest workers and if he doesn't have what you are looking for in a sprinter he will find it for you! read more

We had a check engine light come on the day before we were supposed to leave on a trip with our RV. Luckily I call Sprinter Pitstop and they were able to see us immediately to check it out. They figured out it wasn't an issue (while providing a full explanation of why light came on) turned the light off and we were able to go on our trip as planned. They were a lifesaver, so glad we called them. Very professional, will absolutely use them again if we have issues with our RV and recommend them to anyone! read more

Artem was very helpful with our Sprinter buying process he found the vehicle and made sure it was in great running condition. He was very communicative from start to finish. He recommended some services required for the van and finished them in a day. It has been very easy dealing with him and he is very knowledgeable about Sprinters. The price we got for the van was also very fair. He was honest and straight forward throughout and we never felt he was trying to sell us. We would definitely buy from Artem again! read more

Tim and the guys are first class...bought a used Sprinter from them and has backed up his warrantee 100%...every thing is done well...Tim made sure things were running like a swiss watch before taking delivery of car...Tim installed windows in my van that constantly get positive comments...i would highly recommend Tim and the crew at Sprinter Pitstop...5 stars read more

We just bought A used Mercedes Sprinter van for our business, and noticed that The check engine light was on and we we're losing power going uphill. We called Sprinter Pitstop and were told to bring it right in. When we arrived, Tim immediately grabbed his computer and ran a diagnostic. He was able to tell us exactly what the issues were and can increase our horsepower significantly and reasonably! In a day where it seems like people will take advantage of a situation like ours, it is so refreshing to experience an honest and dependable shop who knows exactly what they're doing and has extensive experience with Sprinters. We will definitely bring our sprinters to them from here on out. read more

Tim and team are absolute legends. Wouldn't take my sprinter anywhere else after visiting them. Highly recommend them for all your sprinter needs read more

They did a great job. I thought it was the ac condenser, but in their diagnosis they found it was just the ac controller in the car. I would not even checked that. They saved me some money. Thanks Tim and team. read more

Tim was helpful and communicative, and his prices are good, especially for an oil change. In fact Tim did a few extra servicing for free which I appreciated. However, he also suggested I do a forced regeneration for $100 because the DPF was at 80%. Not knowing any better, I said OK. Not really sure that was necessary, I asked Nick, service manager at the Mercedes Sprinter service department. Nick confirmed what I thought: the van always goes through an automatic regeneration when the DPF amount gets too high. It seems my Sprinter's DPF just happened to be at 80% when I brought it in, and it would have done a regeneration soon, so the $100 forced regeneration was unnecessary. read more

I'd looked at a number of vans before finding the Sprinter Pitstop. There was a wide variety of vehicles, a selection of prices, and a 45-day warranty. Tim was awesome! I bought a 2006 Sprinter, which had a few quirks. He took care of it fast and got me back on my way. Check this place out! Lots of Sprinter solutions and great customer service! read more

Me and my wife bought an '06 T1n from Tim and convertered it a year ago and it has been a super reliable vehicle and home for us over the last 11 months. As first time sprinter buyers we were nervous about spending so much money on a vehicle but Tim's professionalism and honesty, along with the excellent 45 day warranty, reassured us that we made the right decision. We found some rust issues under the subfloor which weren't visible upon purchase and had a waterpump leak in the 45 day period and both were rectified and covered by Tim even though we live out of state from his shop. A year and 20,000 miles later we are still driving smooth and have had zero problems since . Highly recommended! read more

If you own a sprinter these guys know their stuff, repaired underneath and exhaust from hitting a curb did a great job

Best Sprinter shop in SD. They communicate and explain repairs, very honest business. I would highly recommend. Great pricing
