I called this week to get my car in for an oil change and Bavarian got me in the very next day. I was not only surprised they were able to get me in so quickly but they also texted me photos and a full diagnostic on my car telling me what was needed for service. They didn't pressure me to get anything extra done like other shops do. Beyond pleased with my experience there. If you want a place to take good care of your vehicle and also provide amazing customer service then Bavarian is the place for you! Thank you!!! read more

What a great business!!! I can't say more wonderful things about the shop owner, Josh, and the manager, Ken. Both are outstanding individuals who go above and beyond to help their clientele. I had a situation that occurred under the previous ownership. It stemmed from a botched job by a major retailer. At that time due to a misunderstanding, Bavarian advised that they would take care of the labor if we paid for the parts. Well about a year later, we finally reached out for the repair (SMG Problems, Covid, Etc); and by that time, the shops ownership had changed. A bit concerned, we discussed & reviewed details with Ken and Josh. They were incredibly understanding, kind, and gracious; ultimately ended up honoring the previous owners agreement and returning the car quickly and beautifully. Words don't say enough about this shop and its ownership. Feel comfortable and confident bringing your baby here. We'll be back. Thank you so much! read more

I highly recommend this business. I have been thrilled with their customer service and the quality and value of the work they performed in my car about a month ago. A very responsible team with a high level of integrity. Thank you very much, guys. read more

I wish these guys would move to Phoenix with us. I was really happy with the work they did on my BMW X3. If we stayed in the area, they would be my go-to shop for all things German engineering. read more

Once again BP to my rescue! They were able to get me in the same day I called with an emergency and did a major repair having my car ready the next afternoon! Highly recommend! read more

The guys at Bavarian Performance are great. Josh the owner is very nice and will work with you to make things right. Been working on my Range Rover and they have done quality work for sure. Would Highly Recommend Bavarian Performance to do your work.. Thank you Bavarian Performance in Santa Rosa California. read more

The best bmw repair shop in Santa Rosa. They also work on porsche too. If you need a quality bmw mechanic give them a call.

Being somewhat new to the area, I took my sons car to be looked over before leaving school to come home for the summer. Bavarian Performance was available and had great reviews. I gave them a chance and was blown away by not only the service they provided, but by the fantastic staff as well. Will definitely be using BP for all of my sons cars needs while he's away from home and would highly recommend to anyone. Prices were fair. read more

Very professional and courteous. They were able to assist me same day with a punctured tire. Definitely recommend their establishment.

Honest, reasonably priced, proficient and experienced are the words to describe this team. Without a doubt, I trust taking my M5 to Dave and the guys at Bavarian Performance. read more

I brought my 2008 bmw 328i here on a whim based on their Yelp reviews because I needed emergency-ish work done and was dissatisfied with the two shops I usually work with. These guys were able to get me in super fast, we're very polite and didn't try to tell me a bunch of extra things were wrong with my car (which is hard to find as a woman. if you are a woman then you understand), and I was satisfied with the price I paid. I traveled from Cloverdale and they were worth the trip. I no longer have the car but if I did, I would absolutely be back!! read more

Spoke w/ Dave yesterday about stopping by to look at an E30 I own - New to the area / looking for a local mechanic. When I arrived, Steve informed me that Dave had just left and would be back in 5-10min. When I asked if it'd really be 5-10 min, Steve replied - "Did you hear what I said? I told you 5-10 min." Total prick move - grabbed my keys and dipped out. No thanks - read more

Dave and his crew have taken care of me since the first time I walked in. Super flexible and quick! Usually will have whatever I need done by end of day if not it'll be ready the next morning. Keeping my BMW running for longer than it should be! read more

I haven't even actually spent money to have my car repaired here, but I have come in to have my check engine light checked a few times. Every time I've come in Dave has genuinely wanted to help me. I have a SULEV warranty through BMW, so more often than not I end up leaving his shop to have my car repaired under warranty at BMW of San Rafael. Any work that isn't covered under warranty will only be done by Dave and his technicians. Don't go to the other BMW specialty shop in Santa Rosa, you're being charged dealership prices, this is where you want your BMW repaired. read more

I drive all the way up to Santa Rosa from San Francisco to have them work on my BMW M5. If I'm willing to drive two hours round trip to have my car serviced, it is self-explanatory that I feel they do excellent work. Very clean shop (check out the restroom!). Very professional. VERY HONEST AND TRUSTWORTHY. Highly recommended! read more

Bavarian Performance - Auto Repair Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Great shop located in southwest Santa Rosa. Very honest amazing and fast work on my bimmer. I've tried other shops in the area and they always wanted to price gouge me. Dave and Steve are the best. read more

So far Dave and his crew have been more than helpful in checking out my 2005 330Ci which I purchased in Arizona and having never been a BM owner took a gamble with this one after a test drive whilst on business down in the Phoenix area. So far, all is good and after Dave and his crew did some highly overdue and needed basic maintenance on the car which I had budgeted for its running great and yes for example it had the original spark plugs in!!. Love the car and every opportunity that roof is down. Dave will also be of immense help in obtaining items for your car that you are looking for due to his connections in the business so give these guys a try and protect your wallet at the same time. read more

I bought my 10 year old 80,000 mile BMW 325 in 2004 on Dave's recommendation. It had been in storage for a few years and he had just brought it up to "Showroom Standards". Other than tires and routine maintenance, in over 170,000 miles, the only things to break down were an alternator and the original factory fuel pump - both at over 200,000 miles. The preventative maintenance and continual monitoring of the car every 3000 miles that Dave and Derek insisted upon have given me 7 years of incredibly cost efficient driving that even a new car would have trouble matching...all without monthly payments, or new car insurance rates. These guys aren't just techs, they are partners and take incredible pride in their workmanship and reputation. read more

Bavarian Performance - Customers First - Auto Repair Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I am truly impressed with the professionalism of staff and the owner David. He took my old BMW, went over every inch of the car and gave back the car as new. The price was very reasonable for the amount of work that went into the car. He also provided me with a rental while he worked on my car. Overall, Bavarian Performance is a great shop. I give the shop an A++ and I highly recommend it. Thank you Dave. read more

I don't review many businesses, but Dave and his crew deserve 5 stars in my estimation. He went the extra mile to fix some annoying little things that were going on with my Z4 and didn't charge me for it. He gave me a great deal on some new tires and best of all earned my trust. read more

Took my car in for a brake fluid flush in March and have been meaning to write about my positive experience here. I had been looking for a new shop to take care of my m240i and was willing to make the drive out from Napa to give this place a try based on its positive reviews. I called to make an appointment and got quoted a very fair price for the work. The shop is actually located just down the street from the Santa Rosa BMW dealership and I can't believe that I had not been taking my car here all this time - I would have saved money on service and wouldn't have had to worry about my car not being taken care of properly. Bringing the car in felt like it was friend's garage and I knew that it was in good hands. I'm very particular about my car and didn't mind that they took it on a road test after the fluid flush to make sure everything was okay. I always, always deny the normal BMW dealership's "road test" when I used to take it to them because I didn't know if it would end up just being an unsupervised joy ride. I'll be taking my car back to Bavarian Performance going forward for my regular service. Support local! read more

Love Dave and his crew super awesome people. Great work and honest people. They do a lovely job keeping the customer first and comfortable. Super good work by them and can't go wrong. read more

Bavarian Performance is the best. As the owner of a geriatric 2003 MINI, I need to fix things that are wearing out. They are honest, they are kind, and they are very good at what they do. If you own a BMW or MINI and these guys aren't your mechanics....... they should be. https://bavarian-performance.com/ read more

Dave and the guys are as good as it gets. I have an X5 & 135i I take there and I am always happy with the service. They are kind and knowledgeable, but most importantly fair and honest. Unlike other shops I USED to go to, I have never left with a bad feeling. This is the only place I take my cars. read more

So, upon getting my BMW 02 330i two years ago, I asked a good friend of mine who works in the automotive industry (who happens to be a BMW fanatic) where I should go to get my car fixed up. He immediately suggested Bavarian Performance. He told me it's where he takes his car whenever he needs anything, and even gave me a little bit of a background of the guys who run it (info privy to being in the trade). Long story short, as long as I have my BMW and live in the area I won't be going anywhere else. My list of work done goes: Maaaaany oil changes, brake sensors replaced, broken lock tumbler replaced, new electronic key ordered and coded, both kidneys replaced, air boot filter and water pump replaced, and brake pads replaced. For BMW, their charge rate and labor costs seem to be cheaper then when I used to get my old Pontiac worked on! They're flexible with my schedule, they get done with the job in the exact time frame given every time. They give me complete diagnostics lists of the status of the rest of the car and let me know what to watch in the future. The kicker for me was when I came in expecting to pay $500+ for a bunch of stuff I wanted done at once because that was the estimate. First thing Dave (owner) says to me is "Well, it took less time than we initially estimated so the price is $50 lower than estimated." He didn't have to tell me that at all, I had already agreed to the estimate. Point being I've done business elsewhere where I know they wouldn't have been that honest with me. read more

OK...where to start. First impressions are very important to my wife and I, especially when it comes to business relationships. Dave and Derek could not be more hospitable, helpful and courteous than they have been. On the phone they are really nice and a wealth of knowledge. When I actually brought my 528i into the shop, Dave gave me a thorough walk through of everything he was going to do and why. He was fast and efficient and he fixed the issue...well...without issue. ;-) Before I met these guys, I was under the impression that any BMW mechanic will hang you by your ankles to shake the money out of you as soon as you set foot in their shop. That is the exact opposite of how you are treated as a customer at Bavarian Performance. First, they fix your car....THEN they shake you upside down! (Ha Ha) But seriously, they are the best! From my experiences with them I can highly recommend their work to anyone with a BMW. Thanks Dave & Derek! read more

GLAD I CHECKED IT OUT! I found this place from yelp. I went in this tuesday to get break flush and check service lights. These guys were very Knowledgeable, Honest, and answered all the questions I had regarding my BMW. I would say price is much more reasonable compare to stealers. I am going back tomorrow for replacing rear brakes and some other services although I live 40 min away from the shop. Thanks Dave and Deric~ read more

Dave and the guys treated me absolutely amazing. Great price, outstanding service and unreal turnaround time. Dropped my car off in the morning, and it was done the same afternoon. Car drove perfect when I picked it up and everything that I asked for was addressed and taken care of. I will forever refer BP and will continue going back as long as I have my Bimmer. Can't thank you guys enough!! read more

Brought my Mini in because it shook under acceleration. Dave went above and beyond to figure out the issue and charged an incredible price. Definitely going back if my Mini ever needs something this is where I'll go. read more

Absolutely, hands down, the best auto service garage! Excellent customer service too!

I took my BMW here to fix the damage done by another shop. Dave and Derek replaced/cleaned up under my hood and were nothing short of empathetic during the process. I'm thankful a place like this exists - they're highly knowledgeable, accommodating and professional. Let me assure you that you'll be in excellent hands here. read more

This is the right place to get service for your BMW. These guys are great! They'll care for your car like it's their own. They have an unparalleled depth of knowledge to figure out what's needed and they stay up to date with training. The personal service and reasonable prices have kept me from taking my 530 anywhere else for over six years... ask for Dave, he will treat you right. read more

This place is awesome, brought my girl car in for an oil change, they did a quick oil change and did a quick service check, Dave really knows his stuff. read more

Dave and Derek never fail me and my family. We have visited them now 10-plus years and 100% satisfaction. They are honest and upfront about their opinions and recommendations. We have owned four BMW's and now looking to buy a 5th one but will only proceed with their professional opinion. Hand down, they are the BEST! read more

I've been through several mechanics over the years and nobody can top these guys! Dave, Derek, and the team are awesome! Words cannot simply convey the immaculate service and personality that these gentlemen provide. Really down to earth people that take the time to listen. Thanks, guys! read more

Although all BMW owners know that repairs can be expensive, the one thing you will never need worry about at this shop is being taken advantage of. Derek and crew are honest and fair and you will get top quality work at a reasonable price. I would (and have) recommended them to friends and family for excellent, reliable service! read more

Replacing parts and clearing codes is something anyone can do. This procedure didn't repair my car after multiple times being left there to my inconvenience. Time and money were spent without results and they'll ignore you in hopes of you going away. The job is still unfinished and David went as far as disconnecting my head light blaming a wire on the emissions system. Well i fixed it my self and reconnected the wire. I wouldn't recommend this place for ANY troubleshooting. Maybe an oil change bur even then they were a qrt too low after being given the proper amount. A brand new part was replaced and upon request of it...somehow it disappeared and was never returned to me. Good place for gullible people to take their bmw. read more

Repeat customer here. Took the '06 in for a miss. Diagnosed in 5 min. Bad coil. Had Dave change the battery also. 3 hours later i'm out on the road.Very reasonable$ read more

I have had a 98' 528i, 99' 540i, 99' 528i, and an 03' 530 I will only bring my car here to get maintenance and i live in Marin. I would rather take it to Bavarian because these guys are honest and affordable. Dave has always done me right and he has the best sense of humor. 5 stars from me. read more

These guys are great. I never worry that I'm being advised to spend more than is necessary to repair the car. Knowledgeable and friendly, too. read more
