Excellent job doing the subframe reinforcement, vanos repair, and rod bearings on my e46 m3. I've continued to go here for my oil changes and anything else I want done to the car. I can't recommend them enough and Darell is awesome, he treats my car like it's his own and I really do appreciate that. read more

I was in a bind when my wifes car broke down in LA in February 2017. Southbay BMW tried to charge us for unnecessary repairs totalling $2600. Daniel was recommended by a long time friend here in San Diego. Daniel was knowledgeable and nice-at the time, he made me a deal for replacing the fan and battery-- we were happy. Fast forward the new aux fan failed, I took it to BMW SD, but realized I hadn't received an invoice -receipt when my wife picked it up after hours. When I asked him for an invoice, he sent me an invoice without the proper information, when I asked him to correct it, he went off the rails. He started yelling at me, swearing etc. I waited a couple of weeks and tried once again -very nicely, he finally sent me the proper legal invoice with shaming swear words and explatives. Everyone has baggage and issues, but he is not professional and I would not entertain his services until he can get it together. read more

Rude owner but lead me to Laguna Hills Muffler which was awesome, friendly, cheap and fast so thanks for that

Great place to take your BMW for service. Thanks for all the help Daniel!

This place is awesome! I have taken my BMW here a couple of times for a regular oil change, and this time i took it in it was time for a a few things, well first off i had my breaks and rotors done by another company close by and i dont know what they installed on there but it squeeked sooo bad and they would always use an excuse about how its a sports set up and they will stop once the break pads heat up, Carlos put in new rotors and breaks and they are even better than what the other place had put in and no noise at all! He even got me tires which were the same price as the the tire company i use which was awesome! he tuned up my car did a couple of other adjustments and now my car runs like it is brand new! i will never be taking my bmw to any other place from now on, these guys know what they are doing! I even asked him if he would work on other cars that i have and he said usually they don't because they stick to BMW's because that is what they know. if you have a beemer make sure you bring it here for any work that needs to be done. read more

A good friend of mine referred me to this shop. My friend has many BMW's and always had positive things to say about there work. I was looking for someone to take my wife's convertible VW bug to be repaired. All the windows, and convertible top would not go down. My friend asked if he ever works on other vehicles, his reply was yes he is familiar with the vehicle and could take care of it, no problem. Our car was in the shop for 8 days, and never got a phone call. Every time I called to check on progress, the answer was the same, "I was just about to call you". Any way, I went to pick up the car, and paid him for fixing the windows and convertible top. Before I left, I tried putting the top down, which before the power went out, there was never a problem. The top went down and stoped as the plastic covers that usually flip up so the top can go down broke. They where jammed in between the rag top, and the metal arms. The owner came out, and heard me pissed off and fussing with it, he help me remove the broken parts, and get the top to go down. He said he never touched the convertible, which is a lie, because it worked fine before. I also realized they broke the two back seat passenger panels above the window motors during the repair. He said they where like that, which they where not. They glued them all back together and look terrible as they are all cracked now. At this point I was frustrated and pissed and figured I'll take my loss and deal with it rather then fight it. It gets worse. On the way home, I noticed the glove box was not shut. I reached over to shut it and the handle fell off. Someone obviously broke it, and did not bother telling me or repair it, just stuck it back, so the next person who tried to open it would think they broke it. What a joke this place was. In the end, I never got a receipt, a phone call, and paid $1300 for my power windows and convertible to be operational , but ended up with a broken glove box, convertible top, and busted panels. Do not take your vehicle here. read more

Every positive thing that has been said about this shop and about the owner, Daniel, is right on point. These guys know what they are doing, and they know how to take care of their customers. From minor problems to big fixes, I will always be taking my 2011 128i to Pure Performance. Much more fairly priced than any of the dealers, and the staff is much more personal. Daniel knows how to manage and run his business better than almost every other auto shop that I have been too. Brian was able to take care of many of the fixes on my car, and not only did he do a great job and just be done with it, but he was able to explain how I can take preventive measures to avoid the same issues coming up. Great job guys, keep up the amazing work! read more

It's Christmas Eve and my brakes went out on me! I called Pure Performance and they took me in right away with no wait and no problems. My day seemed to be doomed at first but then Pure Performance saved the day and made my Christmas just as special as I wanted. :) read more

When you have a unique model BMW mechanics see you coming a mile away. And the longer the car is in the shop the more "things "need attention. I have never felt in better hands than at Pure Performance, something like that would never happen because these guys love what they do. They get to know your car and Daniel, owns the place but is also involved in every repair. He knows each cars big picture plan and todays needed repairs. Ive never felt taken or worked into anything unnecessary. He is a patient and mellow guy who speaks english not BMW speak. He knows how the BMW system works and how to work around it if need be. All my cars are in his hands and i sleep real well at night. read more

My 740 would not start on a Saturday morning. Unfortunately, it was not the battery. I was 60 miles from home & from my regular BMW independent garage. I found Daniel via YELP and am now a fan. Daniel called me back right away and we arranged to have my car towed to his shop on Monday Daniel quickly diagnosed the problem to be an on-board computer ... Checked all the fuses to make sure it wasn't something simple ... and not my starter. The replacement part would take 3-4 days to arrive ... Ontario distribution center to local BMW dealer to Pure Performance. I was without a car and had to get a rental. Surprisingly, Daniel called me Tuesday afternoon and said that he had someone drive to the distribution center to pick up the part and the car was ready to go! Wow!! That's customer service! Thank you!! read more

Dan and his team are very knowledgeable when it comes to Minis. I appreciate that they are fair and forthright. Thanks for getting my Mini in pronto. read more

Daniel is great. I called him because my passenger side door would not unlock with my keyless entry. Only way to unlock the door was to open it from the inside. Daniel fixed both doors as a precaution for 480.00. I will definitely take my BMW to Daniel from now on. read more

Honest and on point every time. No fluff and way better than any dealer. M car owner's take note of your best South County option. My M runs better than ever now all thanks to Daniel and his team. read more

Worst customer service! They've postponed my appointment twice by making nonsense excuses.

Danny really knows his stuff. It always helps to work with a mechanic that has a racing background. He's always helpful and he makes sure you end up paying much less the dealership. I trust him with my vehicles. read more

This is the second time I have had work done by Daniel at Pure Performance. The first time, the BMW dealership had quoted me $8000 and a week for the work my X5 needed. Daniel and his tem had it done in less than 2 days for $1200. This time, I called at 4 pm on a Sunday, Daniel arranged for my car to be towed, gave me a loaner car, and from the time I called him to the time I walked in my front door was only two hours. He called the next day at noon to inform me the work was complete. I cannot recommend this shop enough! Daniel and his team are honest, very knowledgeable, and charge a fair price for their amazing work! Not to mention they are super-fast! read more

So, here is my BMW story. I have a 530i BMW that was giving problems starting up in the COLD weather, yes only in the COLD weather! This is started about 2months ago and everytime in the morning if I didnt' park the car in the garage and left it out in the cold it would give me a hard time to turn on in the AM. I would have to push the start up button about 200 times!! The on/off writing on the button even faded! Well, a co-worker refered me to some guys names Max he found on craiglist and the guy replaced the started and i had the same issue then he said ok its something under the wheel , he replaced it and same issue " I didn't pay him for the second part". Long story short, I told him to forget it I didn't want his services anymore, I spent more time waiting for him to come than anything! Then I found another guy ERICK on craigslist and same deal with him, said he would call me back but never did! I even took my car to IRVINE BMW and after 2 days of not finding the problem, I picked up my car! I just put up with it like that for weeks! On Jan 24th I did a google for BMW Repair shop in Irvine and I found Daniel owner of Pure Performance http://www.pureperformancemotors.com/BMW.php?source=ppc&vendor=google&gclid=CJ_iy4_ti7UCFWlxQgodH2QAdg. He personally picked up the phone and said bring in it, we will fix it! So, I took it in and sure enough they found the problem and were HONEST and on top of it! It wasn't an easy task but they fixed it! Something other 2 mechanics were not able to fix not even IRVINE BMW! So, end of story and my personal advice. If you drive a BMW that means you have money so don't be cheap and use craigslist. The only reason I used it was because they were refered but still they work from their garage and don't have the proper skills and equipment to diagnose a problem properly. Just take your care to Pure Performance, it will save you lots of money in TIME and headaches. TRUST ME! read more
