Raul and his boys have been helping me keep my cars tip top since my 2013 BRZ in 2017! In recent years they helped keep my 2017 Focus RS in working fashion and most recently revive a beautiful 2002 Mazda Protege 5 back to life! These guys are legit and are a full end-to-end auto spa experience now! Don't sleep on this shop! read more

My sons birthday was coming up and knew he had not done a service on his 2017 subaru outback in a long time. Raul and Chuy took over and did a full service and detail while keeping informed the whole way. Tires, breaks, full fluid exchange oh yeah and a wheel bearing, then a full detail! 62,000 miles and my son said best present ever, oh yes they also handled the paperwork prep to get the car licensed in California from Oregon. read more

Been going here for years. Service and they explain everything!Honest mechanics are hard to find!

My brother and nephew referred me to this shop. So glad they did. They took the time to diagnose my engine's problem even without the check engine light code. Running smoothly now and it was so worth the repair price and the two days it took to repair. Thank you Sebastian and anyone else that worked on my car. Hope to drive it to 200,000 miles! read more

Have been here before at the Harbor address. These guys know Subaru and always do great work and very professional. Highly recommend! read more

Quick service, easy to make appointment, friendly staff, fair price Highly recommend for Subaru service read more

Very thankful for the team at Rallysport. They were very good at explaining what was going on with my car, and were able to provide suggestions for future visits. After going to many places with rude service I really appreciated their kindness! read more

Great customer service! The service was top notch and communication was great. Highly recommend them!

I've been going to Rallysport for nearly a decade now. I originally found them when looking for mechanics who specialized in Subarus. Since my first visit, they've integrated a thorough digital tracking system which I found very helpful and transparent. I normally bring my car in for the major milestone maintenances. My most recent visit was when I had noticed a consistent loud clicking noise whenever I turned my wheel to the far left. They did a full check and noted my front left axel boot had torn among other priority items that were in need of service due to age/wear and tear. Sabastian was very helpful and followed up with timely updates. The whole process was easy and stress free. They also offer after-hour pick up which is extremely convenient for people with busy schedules. Raul, Sabastian, and team are the gold standard. I have 2017 Outback and it's been running like new all thanks to them. With fair prices and impeccable service, I won't go anywhere else!! read more

Staightforward, on point, pricing for labor on the higher side ... but the service was smooth and holding. Got a ride home after dropoff which helps. Will continue to take my Subaru Forester there for service. read more

Always top service at Rally Sport. My 99 Outback is alive and well thanks to Rally's great ownership and mechanics.

This place is freaking amazing. Rallysport has incredibly friendly staff. They were super patient with me when I asked tons of questions. On my most recent visit, I had oil change, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter and battery replacement services all done. I got lucky and they were having a special on oil services. They even helped with my stuck trunk. This place is so much cheaper and way faster than going to the Subaru dealer. I've been taking my 2017 WRX to the dealer since I got it back then but now I will be coming to Rallyspeed only. If you live your Subaru then bring here, they are Subie experts. read more

I was recommended by a friend to Rallyport engineering . Thank you so much. Staff are very friendly.

Been coming to them for years since first location on Newport blvd. Best place ever, love them! Trust them to be timely, do a quality job and reasonably priced!i read more

I come here and forgot to leave a review until I got a email.. it's a good spot , and I do come here for the customer service and honesty. But be warned it's 250$ an hour for labor... a little high compared to others but in a time crunch it's a good spot read more

Amazing service, fair pricing and quick work. They will be forever my Subaru guys. They fixed my AC mid summer and had other repairs. They definitely know what they are doing. read more

Raul and his team at Rallysport are hands down the best Subaru specialists in OC! They're extremely honest and won't try to upsell you on anything unnecessary. Had a different shop botch an engine swap and gave my car back with a limp transmission so I had to bring it to a place that knew what they were doing. Luckily I found Rallysport and they were able to diagnose the issue (damage to transmission caused by negligent work from previous shop) and I was able to fix the issue quick and get my car back to driving normally read more

I did an AI inquiry on best place in Orange County for a Suburu exhaust problem. I had two previous unsuccessful attempts at this problem. Rallysport was awesome. They nail it right away and solved the problem. They were also very polite and beat everyone else's prices. It was a little bit of a distance for me but well worth it. Highly recommend these folks. read more

Would highly recommend RallySport. The staff is super professional and thorough. Gave me the best prices in town and they have earned a lifetime customer. read more

Raul and his team at Rallysport are incredibly honest, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. I travel to this shop from Long Beach because I know I can trust them. A few months ago I needed multiple repairs done which was quite stressful, my check engine light was coming on repeatedly, I called them in a panic and they told me to come in right away. The young man (I forget his name now) working the phones and desk is calm and friendly and I was very impressed by his knowledge of my vehicle history. Raul assessed the situation and knew exactly what was wrong with my car, and then they went above and beyond to fix it for me. I would suggest this place to anyone, especially young women - they are professional and trustworthy. Thank you Raul! read more

So, I've been bringing my car(s) to Raul and Rallysport team for going on 5 years now. They have continued to provide amazing quality work from my 2015 to my 20' wrx STI. Everything from standard service to preformance part installs. However, Most importantly for me is I've sent my mom, aunt, and various family members with various makes and models to Rallysport and they've all been treated with respect and always provided amazing service by Raul and his team. When you find a good mechanic/shop, stick with them... and that definitely applies to Rallysport! read more

Not sure what happened here, they used to be great and the only place I took my car for a long time. Recommended my sister take her car here as well, and apparently that was a mistake. Brought the car in for brakes, knowing it needed at least new pads, and probably the rotors turned. When I called to inquire as to how they came up with $700 for each end, I was told that "they don't turn rotors anymore, they just get new ones." Not wanting to argue, I let them go ahead with it, even though it's still very possible to turn rotors. I was also told that "it will keep squeaking if we just turn them" (there wasn't any squeaking to begin with!). They told me they closed at 530, and we never got a call about it being ready or anything, we had to call them at 5pm so we could get it before they closed. When we got there, the car was sitting out front and, I thought, ready to go. It wasn't. They told me that "we have to put it back on the rack to do something." Why did you tell me it was ready then? The icing on the cake was one of the other mechanics saying very loudly "wasn't that car JUST on the rack? Why is it going on again?" (My thoughts exactly.) overall, this isn't the rallysport I remember, it seems like their move to a bigger building has also meant they've moved to a different level of service, one that unfortunately seems to be on par with the dealers, where they get you in, tell you that 50 things need to be done, then get miffed when you question them. Probably won't be coming back, at this point, I'll just take it to the dealer. read more

These guys are awesome. My FRS is pretty heavily modified, so naturally when it started making a strange sound, I was worried. I took my car to a few local shops and they turned me down due to it being too modified. RallySport Engineering didn't ask any questions and got to work. Turns out it was a couple of worn pulley bearings. Quick job, dropped my car off. Diagnostic and work done in a day for a good price. No headaches. Oh and the guys are hilarious as well. Highly recommend. read more

Rallysport Engineering - Sample of my car that's been rejected from auto shops for being too modified. - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I was introduce to the owner of RallySport by a friend of mine & was reassured that they could handle all my different car's needs & services, regardless of them not being "Subaru" specific cars. It's safe to say I wasn't disappointed & if anything I received above average service at a great price. The value you get from these guys is immeasurable. When I got a quote from the dealership on my car for the service requested received a quote almost 5x more than what these guys did it for. Bottom line, the most honest & reasonable mechanics in the area read more

Raul and his team are amazing! He kept my 2012 Forrester alive and he stands by his work. He came highly recommended to me and I would recommend him to anyone I know. read more

My wife's car had broken down and it was towed in to Rallysport on 1/29/24. Raul was quick and thorough in diagnosing the problem with my wife's 2003 Subaru Forrester and it was completed the same day! Truly impressed with the service that was rendered to my wife's car! A true professional in every sense of the of the word! Customer service was impeccable! We will be back for future repairs when they are needed! Best Regards, Lou read more

Unless your Snapback collection is just as substantial as your Vape juice collection, or your bagged WRX with an STI wing is due for an oil change, I'd honestly recommend avoiding this place. My entire experience with this joke of a business has been an absolute, textbook Mechanic nightmare. For the sake of you, the reader, I'll keep this one short as possible, but I'm well prepared to write a novel on the absurdity of my experiences here. It all started with my 2017 Subaru overheating, with no Heater or AC. So I contacted the Shop owner and we'd agreed to drop the car off early next morning. During this time, is when I suggested it may be the heater core. Remember that, you'll need it later. The next day I was told there was residue, or "shit" in the radiator, in result needing a radiator replacement and fluid. I was a bit reluctant at this time, having to replace the radiator on an almost brand new car, but the Shop owner sounded convincing that this would resolve the problem. Picked up the next day, the inevitable scratches on side skirts from mediocre mechanics were present, but all in all, the car seemed to be running fine. After $900 and a few trips in Uber, I guess I was satisfied at that point, but still a bit weary that the root cause wasn't found.( Spoiler: it didn't need a radiator, the Flush temporary resolved the problem) Sure enough two weeks later, overheating and fog on the windows, clear signs of Heater Core, mentioned this to the Shop owner again and dropped the car off. Over the next few days it was some back and forth with how they've tested with a sniffer, checked head gasket, etc. But insisted the problem was with the (brand) new radiator cap. Reluctant again, I picked the car up which seemed to be running fine. A couple of days later, the car heats up bad, within 5 minutes of starting. At this point, I'm pretty livid, having spent $1200+ on Ubers, repairs and still overheating. Drop the car off - After no answer from the shop after a few days, finally they pick up and suggest it is the Head Gasket. I tell him abruptly that it is not, and if they've checked the heater core. They said they have, The next part would be an entirely new chapter; how badly they would contradict what they were saying, getting caught in straight up lies, I could go on. At this point, maybe a week later the Shop Owner was kind enough to offer a loaner car. After a few more ignored calls to the Shop, they finally allowed me to pick the loaner up after a week without mine. I was happy, I liked the car, except for the half empty tall can of Coors light in the back. Luckily, I found it and not a sheriff, or even worse, my daughter. Anyway another week goes by and I'm pretty much at the point of begging this guy to get one of his Devry Mechanics to bypass the heater core. At least with that, I can get around to driving the car until I can find a decent mechanic. Eventually, after this entire month's process, they bypassed the heater core as I requested. In the end, it seems he's done some decent work in the past based off these reviews, so I'll let you be the judge here. With just the basic understanding of cars, I can tell you that I was straight up lied to and deceived. If you do end up going here, be sure to request the parts they replace, and get copies of a customer form where you're stating the actual problem. Edit: More blatant lies. Notice how you don't address a single problem I posted. I never said Dan was my friend, I'm not exactly sure how you're correlating those two things. Dan is a random Mechanic I got a hold of while desperately calling dealers to get information to you on how to troubleshoot heater cores. I relayed his message, in which you seemed to be triggered by, you asked to call him, not me. I did tell you I had a friend at La Puente (you suggested taking the car there), but I had told you I couldn't get in touch with him, you knew this, so again, I'm not exactly sure what your thought process is here. For future information, water doesn't cause gunk in cooling systems, only conditioners or coolants with glycol will. The car has long been fixed by the way, flushed with built up (old) coolant lodged in the heater core. "We did this no charge" - yes. As you're labor warranty contractually states? "You have the receipts of the work" - you didn't read what I wrote. "You keep your car dirty". Way to raise the bar with that one. Let me throw up the pic then from the day I picked it up. I'll be honest, I felt a little guilty after submitting this review. I felt you made an honest attempt the first time around, ignorance or simply not knowing how major parts of a cooling system work can be brushed aside and worked out, but it was your ongoing lies, and complete lack of accountability that will keep this review up. So please. Spare me and yourself unless we need to go into how you planned on "patching the heater core with aluminum tape without removing the heater core". read more

Rallysport Engineering - State of the car after sitting in the dust shop for 2 weeks. - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I can't say enough good things about this shop and the owner, Raul. I spun a rod bearing in my 2013 Subaru BRZ. After a nightmare situation with a different shop, I brought it to Raul and he rebuilt the motor and it is AMAZING!!!! He took such good care of the car and was super communicative along the process. He provided detail instructions for breaking the motor in and the car runs so well. My wife's KIA Sorento has a blown head gasket now. Raul will be doing that work as well. I completely trust their work!!! read more

This place is amazing, no run arounds or upselling, just great honest reliable work. I have been raving to family and friends about this place, and they have not disappointed! read more

Rallysport Engineering - 2014 Toyota Tundra. - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Impressive service turnaround time! My WRX had developed a humming/whining noise from rear drivetrain. I had initially suspected rear differential and had gone early in AM to McKenna Subaru to diagnose. Upon arriving at 8:30am, and behind a row of cars waiting to be checked in, i knew my chances of getting diagnosed (forget about repair) were slim to impossible. I started looking for local mechanics that specialized in Subaru and found RSE. Raul promptly took my call and surprisingly asked me to bring in that very morning! He was able to pinpoint issue to wheel bearing/hub assembly and was able to get the OEM part and installed within a few hours! Honest work, fair pricing, and accommodated my schedule; what more can you ask for? Would not hesitate to recommend read more

My 02 wrx needed some serious engine work and Raul and Co. kept me informed of the process and gave me a competitive price for the work. Don't go anywhere else especially if you own a Subaru. read more

I can't say it enough, Raul and his guys are the REAL DEAL. I'm fairly new to the adventure mod community and have had my first Subie for just over 2 years now. After realizing that my Impreza wasn't quite tall enough to tackle some of the off-road trails I've been eyeing, I did some research and purchased some spacer lifts from ADF and some lift King springs and all new tires and wheels. That being said, I have a 2016 Subaru Impreza Sport Limited 5-door. This thing wasn't intended to sit higher than a CrossTrek. I brought the parts and the car to Raul who didn't even charge me to take a look at everything and make a few calls to the mod manufacturers to see if what I was asking is even feasible. He called me back in a couple hours with the all-clear to go ahead and a reasonable price estimate. I honestly was worried that I was pushing my luck too far, but Raul and his guys not only got everything installed successfully, they went as far as inspecting the car a week after the install to make sure everything was good. FREE OF CHARGE. I've never heard of a shop to take hours out of their day on a job that was already done just to make a customer feel better about the rig. If you need something done to your baby, CALL RSE AND LET THEM TAKE CARE OF YOU! My warranty is about to be up and I know exactly who my primary shop will be from now on for everything.

I trust these guys. My car is performing well on the track and everywhere else. Thank you Raul and your amazing staff! Top notch Quality and knowledge! read more

This shop is just what I was looking for! I'm very weary of "stealerships" and like to find good local shops. It's also a plus that this shop primarily focuses on Subarus (and BMWs)! I brought in my BRZ to get plugs and coil packs replaced as well as an oil change. Raul was up front with me and kept me updated on everything. I had to wait a while but it gave me a chance to try out stuff around the area. Definitely will be coming back! If you need a passionate Subaru (and/or BMW guy) hit up Raul@RSE!!! read more

Rallysport Engineering - Rallysport Engineering's Signage! - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I started coming to Rallysport about a year ago after reading great reviews. I have a 2006 Subaru Forester & was looking for a reliable Subaru mechanic to stay on top of regular maintenance & fix my noisy power steering. Long story short, I brought my car in 3 different times to repair the power steering. Initially, they made small repairs like replacing an O ring or replacing hoses (that were totally fine). Last time I dropped it off, they called hours later to tell me that they had gone ahead & replaced my power steering pump-- without my consent or any written estimate for this repair. When I came to pick up my car, Raul sheepishly told me that they had CRACKED MY INTAKE MANIFOLD during the repair. How they hell do you even do that? They offered no explanation. I was completely taken advantage of. I scheduled to bring my car in with Raul 4 different times only to show up & be told that there wasn't a loaner car for me to use. Another time I was given a ride but when I returned my car literally hadn't been touched. It took over TWO MONTHS for them to fix the damage they had done to my car. I lost so much money & time! Not to mention that 2 pairs of expensive sunglasses were missing from my car after it was finally fixed. AND AFTER ALL OF THIS, my power steering was still making noise. To this day, Raul has never contacted me again this situation right. Take your business to South Coast Auto Clinic-- they're the best!! read more

I appreciate their dedication to providing exceptional automotive service, and I'll definitely be returning for any future car maintenance or repairs. Highly recommended to anyone in need of reliable and friendly service! Thank you for taking care of my cars and my families!! read more
