These guys are very good and know what they are doing. Their shop is very clean and organized which is unusual for non-dealership garages.

Save yourself the headache and don’t go! Talked to “Mike” over the phone and he was totally incompetent. Plenty of other great places that will take care of you. Don’t come here

I got my rear brake done here on my 2020 Bmw 330I. Cliff is very nice and explained the process. Definitely recommend to my friends and family.

This shop is clean and professional. I was initially impressed by the competitive pricing on brake service for my 340i, but their great pricing was quickly overshadowed by their phenomenal service. Very impressed—Cliff is great, and I will definitely be back.

Over price ...I took my mercedes ml350 to A1 for noise from the front end. They replace parts but the noise still there. I wasted a lot of money for parts that didn't have to be replace....they are just guessing and recommending to replace parts until they find the problem....by then you're bill is 5k already.

way over priced Seriously!!! Car diagnostics are just a receipt? they don’t even put the codes in the diagnostics! I had to tell him to put em on and he got mad ? really would not recommend them. I was able to get someone to do the job for $600 less. I felt like I got scammed 👎 they don’t even honor the discount they have at the banner outside the shop

I normally do not write reviews but I had to for these guys. We brought our GTI into Cliff and his team for some much needed service at 80k Miles. Cliff acquired all of the best parts, gave us fantastic advice, and his entire team did great work on the car. I am in the car racing world and do know what I am looking at when other folks work on our cars. The quality of work performed was better than most high end european race shops. We had a slight issue with the tires we ordered and Cliff stepped up, ate the cost of the wrong tires, and got the correct ones on order within a day. 10/10 experience working with these guys.

I had an excellent experience at A1 Performance European Auto Repair. I took my BMW X3 in for overheating, thinking I needed to replace the thermostat. Cliff and his team quickly diagnosed the issue and found that it was actually the water pump that needed replacing. Their honesty and expertise saved me both time and money. The service was quick, the prices were very reasonable, and I appreciate their reliable support. I highly recommend them for anyone needing European auto repairs

Just as I was at wit's end! I was referred to A1 performance by my AAA driver. Thank goodness I made the call for a tow to A1. Cliff and his team were able to help solve a true BMW mystery conundrum before paying ridiculous $. Coincidentally I found out of A1 is aslo my best friends mechanic. This sealed the deal on my trust with A1 and they pulled through! Thank you Cliff + A1 Performance Team.

I had a horrible experience with A1 European. I called ahead and specifically told the owner that I wanted to replace my front tires and also mount my tires onto a new set of used wheels that were in good condition with no curb marks. When I showed up for my appointment, I waited three hours, only to find out that the owner, Cliff, did not even know I needed new front tires. He ended up mounting my old tires onto my new wheels. At that point, I noticed scratches on all four wheels and said to Cliff, “Please be careful and try not to scratch the wheels.” Because he hadn’t ordered my new tires, he had to leave the shop to pick them up and then install them. After the installation, I realized he had ordered the wrong tires. Cliff offered to replace them with the correct ones, so I dropped the car off again. When I picked it up the second time, I noticed even more damage on the wheels. He then offered to repaint all four wheels, but at that point I had no faith left in this shop. It felt like getting food poisoning at a restaurant and being offered another plate of food from the same kitchen. To make matters worse, the day after I took the car home, I noticed the clutch pedal wouldn’t return properly, and I was later told by another shop that I needed a new clutch. It may be a coincidence, but after everything that happened, I simply do not trust their workmanship. Overall, this experience was extremely frustrating, time-consuming, and costly. I would not recommend A1 European based on my experience.
