They were friendly & attentive when I dropped the vehicle off for transmission service & an oil change. I told them my rear driver's turn signal & brake lights were not working. They provided timely updates & when they told me what the problem was with the lights they offered a solution to repair the lights & to make the same repair to the passenger side so I wouldn't have the problem again. And they did all the work for about the same price as it would have cost me JUST TO GET THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED at the dealership! Excellent service, very reasonable prices!

I'm not even sure where to start this review. If I could give Bavarian Performance Specialists 10 positive stars I would. My daughter attends college in Thousand Oaks and we live in Utah. After shipping my daughter's car to school, it ended up with a no-start scenario when we arrived to move her in to her dorm. Not knowing any service facilities in the area, I asked around and luckily someone recommended Hal and BPS. This was a Thursday evening at 8PM, but I thought I would call and leave a message since I needed to go back home on Saturday and there wasn't much time to get the car fixed. To my surprise Hal answered the phone that late in the evening and ended up talking / texting - giving me ideas to try until 11PM that night! All ideas that he wanted me to try, in order to NOT have to bring it in to his shop for repairs. How refreshing was that? At the end of the day, it turned out that the car needed a starter, and even though Hal had a full shop, given my situation, he was able to shift some other work around, and got the car in on Friday and had it fixed for us Friday by 6PM. Top that off with a lifetime warranty on the part and a two year warranty on the labor, we just couldn't be happier that we found this shop. As if that were not enough, Hal gave his personal cell number to my daughter and said she could feel free to call him at any point, even after hours or weekends if she had questions about anything at all on her car. You just don't get service like this anymore these days. Thank you Hal and team. You have customers for life!

Thanks to Hal and Tiffany, they searched for days to find the source of my A/C going out. RATS! (Not Hal and Tiffany, I mean real darn RATS chewed up the wires and fuse box). Lots of hard work, lots of patience and always kind and understanding. Great service from great human beings!

Family run business with load of experience. You'll be well taken care of at Bavarian with competitive pricing, so ditch the dealer! Never had any problems, while they will go above and beyond to recommend other areas/parts of the car that need or will need service. For example, I went in for an oil change and they told my brake pads were getting low. Extremely helpful! Higher recommend.

Well I had a ongoing problem with car throwing oxygen sensor codes for a long time. My car is tuned and modified. Nobody could figure it out. Hal figured it out within minutes, fixed it . Bavarian performance specialists are now my hero’s!

I had taken my Audi to the dealership to get a leak fixed near my transmission. I had gone to other shops to see what the problem was and if they could fix it. One shop recommended another and another and it lead me to Bavarian Performance Specialists. When I called to ask about the problem, they had an idea of what the issue was and an approximate quote if that were the issue. They were very flexible on when I could bring my car in and they took care of my car no problem. They called me to let me know what they had found and it happened to be that there were 2 leaks that needed to get patched up. I was very happy that the cost to fix the leaks was around what they had quoted me before. I got my car back and it’s been running like a champ with no issues. This beat taking it to the dealership where the cost was 3 times what I paid at Bavarian Performance Specialists. Thank you to the Bavarian Performance Specialists Team for fixing my car and saving me money!

They were very thorough in inspecting and performing scheduled maintenance for my Porsche 911. They’re trustworthy and completed the work on time. I’ll use them again and recommend them to others.

Hal was very helpful in fixing our son’s car. He communicated well with us and with him. The repairs were done in a reasonable time and he was accommodating.

I took a car they for a 'pre-purchase' inspection and boy, am I glad I did. They flagged some things that the dealer is still denying. Bavarian Performance Specialists are honest, trustworthy and just damn good people. There is no reason to go anywhere else.

I went to Bavarian auto sports after trying to change the oil on my Porsche, which lead to a mystery leak. They took the car in and figured out the issue very quickly, and solved it cost effectively. Great experience and very reasonable pricing, I’ll Be going to them for all of my cars now.

Arrived at Bavarian Performance Specialist for a second opinion on a HVAC issue that was quoted by another local specialist at over 2K. In addition, we were also in a time crunch to get the car fixed in time to ship it off to college for our daughter's arrival. Not only were we able to get it repaired quickly (and for half the price), we received excellent customer service along the way. Highly recommend!

I was having issues I wasn't sure about, my Jetta was making weird noises. Brought it in and they took care of everything and more! They were open about everything they were doing and made sure I understood what they were charging me for. Love the family owned feel of the shop and will be coming back in the future.

Family owned business, which treats you like family (without the unsecured loans, of course, LOL). Seems to have great expertise in BMW judging by their constantly busy bays. However, they have a Ford specialist, too. Got lots of non-baloney info on my issue. Hal & co. did a particularly time consuming, messy emissions repair for me that I couldn't do in my driveway. He checked it carefully to make sure I'd pass and... all was well. Do business with this company with confidence.

Hal and his team are world class. They did a great job on my car and were honest and fair. I went to 2 other mechanics and Hal was the only one who fixed my problem. Highly recommended!

Hal is the absolute best! Brought in my car because the engine light was on. After inspection, Hal confirmed with Mercedes the car had an extended warranty on exactly that issue and that I should bring it to a dealership because it would be 100% covered. He could’ve easily taken the car in for repair but he graciously declined and looked after my best interest (and looked after my wallet). I can’t thank him enough! This was such an incredible way to gain my trust and I now will always be coming to Hal.

Audi dealer said I needed a new catalytic converter and was going to charge me $4k. I took my car here instead. Hal explained the issue, found the parts from a scrap yard and saved me a significant amount. We will be taking our cars here from now on for service.

Great experience! I have a classic 1973 BMW 2002 that requires special attention. It’s hard to find a shop that really understands these classic cars. The shop owner, Hal, has decades of experience with classic BMWs. He treated my car as if it was his own. Tiffany was super helpful checking me in and communicating. And Nick did a great job getting my differential back in shape. I will be back!
