Amazing local business. Owner David is a gem. Honest and perfect service details! Was referred by a friend and I have a local honest BMW repair shop! read more

I had an issue with my Mini Cooper S on starting. It misfired badly when starting. I took to my go to guy,(Charlie @ BrakeMax) and he referred me out due to possible extensive issues. Desert Tech serviced my car quite well even giving me the option for lesser parts that would not be on my "S" version. I opted for original parts. They charged me basically what I would expect to pay for a 2009 Mini Cooper S with only 60,000 miles. read more

We recently had to get new brakes for our Mini-cooper convertible. Desert Tech's entire team was just amazing. Honest, reasonable and more importantly listened and allowed me to ask a dozen questions so that i was clear on what was being done. Thanks to the amazing team we have new brakes and know we are safe on the streets of Tucson. Thanks Desert Tech! read more

Dave and his team do the work on our 228i to keep it in the best condition. I have worked with Dave for over 25 years and found him to be honest, ethical and efficient. In particular his philosophy of living by the golden rule to be a breath of fresh air in the automotive aftermarket world. read more

I had a DTML pump stop working on me. Took the vehicle go desert tech where David told me he replaced the pump 3 different times but couldn't get the fault code to clear and that it was ok to drive the car. Well, that pump he installed broke. I go to a way better repair shop which come to find out, that David installed a reused dtml pump from another vehicle!! Hence why the fault code wouldn't go away(he installed a bad pump). These dtml pumps are date stamped as well. Very disappointed in how he runs things. He charges a whole body for crappy work. The value exchange isn't worth it read more

I had taken my BMW a few years back. It was over $1,000 fix. I drove off the lot and before I could even make it home the car was over heating. It turns out, the hose came off and all the coolant leaked out. The owner told me that BMW doesn't put clamps on the hoses and that's why it came off (even though there was one on it after it had to be taken back). I talked to another mechanic a few days later and he said that is absolutely not true. Somebody just forgot to put it on. read more

Trustworthy mechanic. Does great work. Good communication! I've been taking my 2016 model X3 to Desert Tech for about a year, after the mileage went beyond factory/dealer warranty. Dave and his team do consistently great work to diagnose and fix issues at reasonable cost. Dave took the time to show what's happening with the vehicle, and presented a phased plan to address the highest priority items first, to get the best results for the money. They completed the work on time, or even earlier than quoted. Cost matched the estimate. Work was quality. Highly recommend Desert Tech. read more

The owner of this shop has worked on my BMWs for 10 years. He has always done a nice job and he gets my cars up and running or fixed or maintained as needed. I would recommend Desert Tech to work on your BMW. Especially if it is out of warranty. David also works on other foreign cars & some American built cars, so make sure you ask him if he can service your car. My complaints: Communication with him over jobs and what needs to be done lately has decreased, and I wish he would charge less for the work that he does because if he did, I would get more of the work done that is needed on my cars, but I understand he has his bills to pay. read more

I have serviced my vehicle several times and the work has always been excellent and reasonable. I strongly recommend the buisness

Went here not to long ago to get my gasket housing replaced. Along the way there were hiccups but the owner David, handled it and everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this place if you have a German car because the turn-around time is excellent! Also Desert tech usually can beat the price of competitors which is what I like. read more

Dave is the reason I will own another BMW. He's the consummate professional. He even personally went out of his way to come to my house to correct a problem that resulted from a repair that went slightly wrong (new fuel pump seal was inadvertently kinked during replacement). Things happen. He made it his personal mission to make it right. Again, I wouldn't buy another one of these higher priced vehicles without his expertise to help me when things break. read more

David is a hands on owner that takes pride in providing excellent customer service through thorough diagnostics, clear explanation and fair pricing. I've been taking our BMW to Desert Tech for about three years and it is totally worth the 30 minute drive for the peace of mind that our 2005 vehicle is being well cared for by honest people that know what they're doing. I absolutely recommend Desert Tech. -S. Dye read more

I would recommend everyone with a BMW go here. Very helpful and very thorough. David took time explaining things to me. I will always be using this shop in the future. Driving or towing from Pinetop Az is totally worth it! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dave and his team at Desert Tech Auto! Finding a new mechanic who you trust with your car and wallet is never an easy task, but I'm SO glad I was able to find Dave and his shop. I had a failing water pump on my E39 530i BMW and he took care of me at a very affordable price and threw in an oil change! The work was completed extremely quickly, and with care. A review of this shop does it no justice, these people are actually just that nice, and good at what they do. I HIGHLY recommend taking your vehicle here for ANY and ALL service needs! Would give more stars if I could!! read more

Desert Tech Import Auto - David and his team kept my beloved E39 on the road in this hot summer heat, and I am very grateful! Thank you again! - Auto Repair Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I went to Desert Tech to get a 2nd opinion on a repair the BMW dealer quoted at $400. David did it for $20 while we waited. Unbelievable. The guy knows what he's doing and he's HONEST. read more

well here comes a bmw leak and there it goes thanks to desert tech- always done in a timely fashion and very competitive pricing--we love the service and the clean work environment of this repair shop-kudos to david and his staff read more

The BEST European auto tech in Tucson. Dave is such an honest mechanic. I've been to his shop several times, I had my brake lights fixed, a window repair and I'm just grateful I found him. He knows his shit and he's fair on price. He will NOT take advantage of you. Thank you Dave & staff. read more

Honest, Fair, Communicative, and Talented! Dave and his team run the kind of shop that you feel lucky to find and that other repair shops should aspire to be like. Dave stepped in after I had been taken for a very expensive ride by another independent shop in town, and he worked (patiently) with me to pinpoint the true cause of my Audi's problem and resolve them. He's a fair guy, and he takes a huge amount of pride in getting things done and done right. He communicates with you and lets you know where things stand and what the costs are likely to be. He's open to suggestions, and his pricing is more than reasonable. I can't say enough good things about this guy, and I highly, highly recommend him. read more

Great Mechanic !!! Highly recommend !! Totally trust David ! Reasonable prices and very accommodating .

I took my bmw in to get the rear brake pads replaced and they did a good job getting my car fixed with a reasonable price. However, when I went to pick up my car they told me that they were having a problem with getting the brake warning light to reset. They told me that it was a computer issue, but now that I am having my car looked at elsewhere they tell me that the problem is due to desert tech using cheap aftermarket sensors that don't work and that they should have used the real sensors. I feel like desert tech wasn't up front with me. I would have gladly paid extra for the right sensors. read more

Reliable, knowledgeable, friendly MINI experts offering great service at a fair price.

I hate to do this since David seemed like such a nice guy. I got my fuel pump replaced by him in my Mini Cooper, but when my car didn't start 2 days later, no one answered the phone and turns out the shop was unexpectedly closed for the next 3 weeks! I was not made aware of this at all when I brought my car in and my repeated voicemails on the shop phone and David's cellphone went unanswered for days until I broke down and went to the dealership. I have a 3 year warranty on the fuel pump that's totally useless unless I bring it in to this shop! One star for total lack of communication. read more

Friendly, patient, honest and fair = great mechanic. Dave knows his imports. I went in for service on my 2009 Mini and I am pleased to find this business to help me maintain it. read more

Awesome service for my BMW, very quick, very competitive pricing and the most accommodating place I have ever been to. I will definitely return for service. read more

The only auto-shop I trust with my 530I BMW is Desert Tech! When I have to take my car in, David takes the time to explain the problem with patience and a vast knowledge basis. David provides detailed explanations of the procedures completed and the prices are always honest and fair. I would recommend Desert Tech to anyone who takes their car maintenance seriously. read more

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the 2 words that come immediately to mind when I think of Davids work are INTEGRITY and HONESTY. The past few months have seen my 2006 BMW 530i go through a couple of rough patches mechanically. To make a long story short, DAVID made sure to educate me of not only my options, but alternatives that would be far less expensive (fuel vapor leak? Make sure you try a new fuel cap first). DSC/DTC comes on now and then? Spend $800 to fix it or live with it as it doesn't affect the cars performance. Fuel pump light came on? Drive it for a couple days and see if it's a fluke or a problem (it was) and the quality of his repair work is beyond reproach. He's an honest, highly skilled mechanic and the fact that I use my car for work (Uber) he seemed extra concerned with getting me back on the road for the least expensive and safest repairs for me, my family and friends and my passengers. Take your import to him. He will be thorough, he will educate you and most importantly he will fix your car and charge you honest rates and you get way more than what you pay for when it comes to peace of mind!! Thanks David! read more

The best BMW Indy shop you can go to in Tucson. They service my e90 and they are always friendly, no bull, and straight to the point with quick turn around. Their prices are very reasonable and Dave the owner will treat your car like the upmost priority. They never disappoint! You won't regret going here over the stealership! read more

After getting quoted $300 to simply diagnose why my 2000 Audi A6 was giving off 14 check engine codes and experiencing a rough idle and acceleration I decided to call around and get second opinions. I called in and spoke to David about the issue and he let me know that he was fairly busy but he promised he would give me a few minutes of his time to look it over. I drove it in and he popped the hood and started walking me through what the different possibilities were. After about a half hour and a can of brake cleaner he found the source of the leak. Turned out to be the rubber gasket within the intake hose was slightly folded over. He took it apart and adjusted it and immediately the car ran a helluva lot healthier. Drove it quite a bit and the issues haven't returned and I only spent 1/4 of what I would've elsewhere. 10/10 for this shop. Will be returning soon for more work on my car and definitely recommending to friends and family. read more

Dave is a great guy. Would gladly do business with again. Needed some work done on my 2003 325i and he had it done in time for me to get to work the next day. Will be going here from now on. Thanks Desert Tech! read more
