I always bring my cars here for service. It's been 6-7 years and the father-son duo here has always been upfront with me. They have provided fair pricing and service. One thing to consider is that it's only them two working on your car, so it may take a bit longer than the stealership but this indy shop has their stuff on lock. As a matter of fact, they were able to diagnose and correct an issue that other shops were not able to. Their location is hidden in the RV Service Center. Since it's fairly small and tight, I usually call to confirm they can take my car in. The service I get the most is oil change. They use German synthetic oil Liqui Moly for the BMWs. It only makes sense for German oil to go in a German car. There is a lil language/accent barrier however, they do their best to give you a complete rundown of any issues or what they serviced. I will continue to return here. FIVE STARS. read more

They are cheap but they do substandard work. They replaced the blower motor in my dash and they damaged the car's headliner, and failed to reinstall all the screws holding things in place. OK for basics like oil changes and brakes, but nothing more than that. read more

Very honest with reasonable pricing. Knowledgeable on many various makes of cars. Definitely plan to continue using them.

Amazing quick service on my car! Reasonable prices and super sweet people :) Most people reject to fix my FIAT but they fixed it read more

Found this hidden little gem shop and have NO regrets. Francesco has replaced my entire cooling system and exhaust on my classic 1987 BMW 535is two months ago. No issues what's so ever! Francesco is very detailed and precise on his craftsmanship of mechanics. He's from Italy and has been working on German vehicles since the 70's! He works above and beyond. If he sees something very minor he will adjust or fix at no charge. Owning a 1987 BMW 535is, 1974 BMW 2002tii and buying a 2003 BMW 525it wagon next week, I'm very particular where I take my Bimmers. I recommend Gresta for any mechanical repairs. If it's a big job plan on your car being there for a few days. It may take awhile but the job gets done right the first time! Hope this post helps others. read more

See all

Two very knowledgeable and honest mechanics who are dedicated to their craft. I've been here twice now and both times I was not disappointed with the service. I'll be bringing my car here forever. You have to appreciate family owned businesses such as these. Thanks for doing what you do! read more

Gresta Mobile Service-BMW - Auto Repair Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I have taken my 2009 Range Rover here for the past few years, they couldn't have been more helpful, experienced, and very reasonable. I have called many times with questions and concerns and Ermanno has been so wonderful about answering any and all of my questions come on down I'll take a look, without charging me. These guys are legit, honest, and great mechanics. I would recommend this business hands down, they have saved me a lot of money. Thank you! read more

They know their cars, haven't had an issue once they took a look at my 2008 BMW 328i, they also let you know that some parts are probably going to be needing repair soon read more

A few months ago I bought a car from Ermanno, the son in the father/son team that runs this shop. Not only was he up front about the condition and maintenance, and offering a fair price, he and Francesco have gone out of their way to help address a couple of minor issues that have come up since - literally months after the sale. It's hard to find a mechanic this knowledgeable and honest, Gresta has definitely earned my business going forward. read more

Excellent, honest, business. I bought a used BMW along with a warranty. A month after purchase, I discovered an oil leak and the Gresca's were able diagnose and repair it quickly under warranty. A couple of months later, I was having issues with my coolant level, but was unable to find the leak. They were able to at pressure to the coolant reservoir and discovered a hairline crack. Easy fix and at a reasonable price (not covered under warranty). I'm a decent mechanic and was having trouble with my Mercedes. I'd already done some troubleshooting and replaced the ignition coils, spark plug wires, and mass air flow sensor. I had narrowed the problem down to the ERG, but didn't have the tools to get to it and replace it. I took the car to the Gresca's and had them evaluate it. After a day, they called me and confirmed my suspicions and replaced the part. No drama, so over-selling. They'll have a customer in me as long as I have cars. read more

Deserve no stars! Nice guys BUT they did the work without my approval! 3 times we discussed that they were going to provide an estimate before ANY work is started. I called for the estimate and instead I got..... "your car is all done, you can pick it up! We fixed everything and you car is working." I did not say you can work on my car!!! I NEVER said yes or go ahead!!! There was not a misunderstanding because estimate doesn't sound like "yes!". He said he called me but I didn't answer... This still is not a yes!! read more

Great service, got me in, got me out very affordable BMW prices. Hidden gem found in Chula Vista

I brought my BMW here for something as simple as a headlamp replacement when BMW quoted me $100.00 and said it would take 4 hours. Not only did Gresta do it while I waited but he answered every question about my car I had and offered me some important information. I have now been bringing my car and my whole family's cars there for over three years and not only is the customer service GREAT! But the work is top notch. They are honest and have integrity! It is a father and son operation. While it is not full of workers and the feel of a big corporation it does have that family business feeling. I will continue to bring my vehicles here and highly recommend them to anyone that is tired of big corporate prices. Cheers, Michael read more

Very trustworthy and knowledgeable. They diagnosed the problem with my car and identified that it should be covered under recall. Instead of taking my money they directed me to the dealership so that the car could be fixed at no charge. I will definitely bring my car here for repairs in the future. read more

These guys have taken care of our Volvo's and Mercedes for 20+ years. Reliable. Honest. Fair. Love them.

Went in for an oil change and waited for maybe 2 hours. Got it for a better price than what I expected and they even fix couple other things in my BMW free of charge. They told me couple of other things I should consider changing next I.e. Tires. I'll definitely be back. read more

My car sat this facility for three weeks and they were not able to make the repair. It had to be towed to another facility. I incurred $600 in rental car fees during this time, which they refused to compensate. read more

These guys not only didn't fix my car, an Audi, but they kept it for nearly 3 months and charged me more than the original quote. On top of all of that, they actually stole my Audi engine covers and other hood covers, which total over $250! I phoned Ermano Gresta several times, threatened to call the police, and I never heard back. These guys are thieves! Do not go here. read more

Great honest service from family business. The first time I brought my 2009 BMW 328i for a front break job and the second time for a head gasket cover replacement. I did my research and their prices are very good!! read more

My husband always used dealers to have our cars fixed but then got quoted over the price of the value of the car and decided to consider Franco Gresta. I can tell you that we are not looking anywhere else anymore. We like the way they work and their prices. They are honest and quick. read more

I'm really surprised about this bad review I never have any problem since 2005 and to tell you the truth I been saving a lot money compare to other place ! read more

I still value the work and honesty that Gresta provides. I appreciate a small family business. They did the 90k service and some other maintenance on my BMW. They are upfront with what needs to be done and don't add in other BS. Five stars for sure once again! read more

Having been frustrated once to many times, I decided to search for an Independent family-owned BMW Service Center, that could not only diagnose a mysterious / random Fault (Drivetrain Malfunction); but give me an unbiased corrective solution!... it should be noted that this is a low mileage, later model '2014 BMW F10 M5'; that had not only left me stranded on server occasions, but had been unsussesfully diagnosed by 'SD BMW's Service Center' ... I was pleasantly surprised (and relieved), to receive a call from Hermano Gresta; who was not only able to successfully diagnose the issue / fault; but, was able to correct the situation on budget (as quoted) and on time! Good job, would highly recommend! read more

I have been coming with Franco and hermano for about 2 years I have a 335i twin turbo hard top and this guys are not just mechanics they treat each customer like family .they always do great work and fast they also always go out of their way for me.my car runs great thanks to them they replaced both my turbos they do maintenance on my and my dad truck Tacoma the best guys u will not find anybody like them read more

Ermanno and Franco are the best. We have been going to them for many years. There service is reliable and reasonable. We are always satisfied and safe. read more

Ermanno and Francesco are THE most Honest and Best mechanics that I have ever met! They may not call you right away...and I Don't expect them to either! They are the BEST at the lowest price so they are Always busy! But you as the Customer must be clear when you drop off your vehicle what your budget is. Mine is anything under $200 fix it...anything over...call me, and they do. Trust them! They are the best! I recommend them to all! (Please forgive me if I spelled their names wrong.) read more

The need for car repairs has always made me sick to my stomach...and not always because of the money. It's because of the lack of trust. Yeah...I have trust issues with car repair shops/dealers! Don't you? Honesty is everything to me! SO that's why I am simply going to say that my experience with Gresta has earned a relationship for the life of my 2007 328 convertible (and any other BMW or Mercedes I own or will own.) Very thankful for the referral from our friend! Gresta owner Franco diagnosed a serious issue at no charge and quickly repaired it after my authorization to proceed, saving me A LOT of money. A lot! They didn't drag their feet on the labor or tell me a story about how complicated and time con$uming it would be. A 1-1/2 hr labor charge was 25% of the time quoted by 2 other 'authorized dealers' and therefore over a $1000 savings. No labor lies here! No repairs you don't need. I wish I had known about this shop before. Excellent! My sun machine is back humming on the road. I couldn't be happier. read more

Gresta mobile is an awesome shop. These guys are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I had taken my 323i to a few places and they couldn't find the flaw, but these guys were able to get it done right. I was out of town for a couple weeks for work and the guys at Gresta held the car for me at no charge. My whip runs like a clock now. Molto bene! Grazie signori! read more
