Wow, do I trust them! I was referred to this shop from Charles at Kim's Body Shop who's done great work on our car so really trusted their recommendation. We've been taking our BMWs (we've had 2) to the dealership because it's just very simple and straightforward. But, after our warranty ended and feeling like we should shop around a little bit for service/price since the dealership can cost more, really glad we found this shop. Have worked with both Michael and Dennis and they've been really helpful and thorough. Michael spent 15minutes with me at least to help me understand what needed to be done and estimated cost and Dennis helped check if something were under my warranty. I feel so much better finding this shop and not feeling ripped off and being able to ask all of the stupid questions without feeling like I'm wasting someone's time. Definitely feel like I can trust them so thanks Michael and Dennis! read more

Here's my take on Silicon Valley Bimmer. I actually didn't end up getting any work done there -- and that's exactly why I'm writing this review. I scheduled time to bring in my M3 for what I thought was a preventative repair. Like most places, I expected a quick inspection followed by a quote and a recommendation to move forward. Instead, they took a completely different approach. They walked me through everything in detail, explained what they were seeing, and were very transparent about whether the repair was actually necessary. In my case, they told me it wasn't needed at this time. That level of honesty is rare. Most shops would have just done the work or pushed for it, but these guys clearly operate with integrity. They took the time to educate me, answer my questions, and make sure I understood the "why" behind their recommendation. There was zero pressure -- just straightforward, honest guidance. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and long-term relationships, not just making a quick sale. That kind of approach builds trust immediately. Because of that experience alone, they've earned my business going forward. I will absolutely be bringing my car back here when I do need work done, and I've already recommended them to several friends. If you're looking for a shop that knows BMWs, communicates clearly, and treats you with respect, Silicon Valley Bimmer is the place. These guys are great -- honest, knowledgeable, and professional. read more

Great and honest service. Didn't try to upsell anything we didn't need. We had the parts already, so they just charged for the labor to replace the lower control arm bushings and an alignment. Good work and reasonable, up front pricing. They even vacuumed my car before I picked it up. Highly recommend them and will continue to come back for any service I need. read more

Michael helped us repair coolant leak on our BMW. He was proactive and punctual. I trust the team as usual. He showed us the actual defective parts and explained the cause of the leak. I recommend this place ! read more

I've been going to SVB for years, and this is the only shop I recommend. Cardo always takes real good care of me. The work is consistently top tier and done right. Customer service is just as strong. Clear communication, fair pricing, and no runaround. You feel taken care of the moment you walk in. If you want quality work and people who actually care, this is the place. read more

I was able to book service via yelp for my 430i. The guys at SV Bimmer took really good care of me and the car. The car got taken right on time for it's oil change/brake fluid flush appointment, and got finished right on time too. Pricing was fair and the process was easy- much appreciated!!! read more

I visited Silicon Valley Beamer with my Teal M3 a couple times and counting for some exhaust work, and left each time with confidence in their craft. I was able to reach my intended results with better pricing than was offered by 2-3 other shops. On top of that I received solid advice/help over Yelp messages that pointed me in the right direction. Their team is highly responsive too. Must visit for Beamer enthusiasts. read more

I feel so lucky to have found this place. They're verified, do excellent work, and charge much less than the dealership. They've also been very accommodating and willing to work with my schedule. I highly recommend them! A special shout-out to Michael as well--he's incredibly kind and great to work with. read more

These guys set my expectations sky high compared to local BMW shops! They were able to order all my parts from interior to exterior, installed everything in house w/ alignment. read more

CUSTOMER SERVICE Only place I will take my car. Very friendly and Very Knowledgeable and Great Pricing. Thank You so much SVBIMMER for everything read more

It took a while to realize that they are cheating on us! Really smartly, they'll tell you they check and top off fluids like coolant and other things! But they don't. We got a low coolant sign a month or so after service and called them about it. He first scares us saying, you shouldn't get it, there could be a leak. He says get the car and we will check it - you should not get this sign as we top off the fluids during service! Then next day he charges us 100$ for topping off coolant, we had a ridiculous experience. He plainly lied to us. They have done this once before with windshield wiper fluid but we didn't realize it coz we used to trust. Don't make a mistake of trusting these folks. read more

Very quick response time and quick turn around time on the service. Will definitely come back!

I had a diagnosis done a year ago when my car could not pass smog. Ricardo and staff let me know the list of things I had to address for the car I had just bought around the time (I do most of my DIY work to save money). I got rid of my lean codes and the car finally passed smog. They were very helpful read more

I kept having issues with my light and it keeps going out even though I replace the bulb constantly and they were able to fix it for me and took amazing care of me! Thanks again! I'll be back soon! read more

Ricardo was very helpful and professional. Took the time to help me out with my M3. A+ customer service. Highly recommend for all your bimmer needs. Thank you Silicon Valley Bimmer read more

I've left multiple reviews for SVB. Because going back as far as a few years now, they're the only ones I let work on my cars. Recently, my 2015 X5 M Sport develop an issue. I brought it into SVB and Ricardo diagnosed it as a "misfire" and recommended that I have the plugs and coils replaced. She's at 111,000 Miles and was due for service. I set up an appointment, had that done, and not only did the problem remain, it somewhat got worse. As crazy as it may sound, the misfire began to jump from cylinder to cylinder. Ricardo and Dennis let me know that they needed a little more time with my car. No problem. As always they have my FULL trust. I brought it back the following Monday. Dennis let me know that the misfire was happening with my injectors. Also let me know that my injectors were still under a 10-year warranty with BMW. Not only that, but Dennis went way above and beyond and reached out to a colleague of his at Stevens Creek BMW to take care of this issue. When I went back to pick up my car at SVB, Dennis gave me a printout of everything that was going on, and exactly who to talk to once I got to Stevens Creek BMW. Before I left SVB, I asked Dennis, "What the l turnaround might be?" He let me know that he didn't know, that they were "Fitting me in." and expecting me. Once I arrived at Stevens Creek BMW, I hooked up with Justin. During my intake, Justin had commented to me... "Dennis has hand selected the technicians he would like to work on your car." What? He's got it like that? Justin replied, "Yeah he does!" (Respect!) I picked up my baby 2 Days later, running perfect! So once again, Big Up's and Much Thanks to SVB!!!! And before I close this review, the work SVB did on my X5 was perfect! And I didn't have to pay a dime to Stevens Creek BMW! So, if you drive a Bimmer and it needs work, doesn't matter where on the curve, from the major to the minor, do yourself a favor and bring it to Ricardo and Dennis at SVB! read more

Quick repair of replacing my downstream O2 sensor. Work is reasonably fast, and good customer service at the front desk.

These guys are incredible! Their prices are competitive (I've checked with other place), they do quality work, they never over sell on things you don't need. They care for your car as a whole, not just for the service you come in, and provide recommendations. They always do more than you ask for without additional charge. Examples: Changed my clock to catch up to daylights. Replaced my car key battery. Vacuumed Replaced my windshield wipers. Those things add up and super helpful for a full time working mom with two kids. Very personable and always make time to explain the terminology in basic language. read more

Silicon Valley Bimmer is an excellent service center for everything BMW related. They are a group of former BMW certified mechanics that opened up their own independent shop. Their facility is clean and their bays are nice and bright. They are always busy, so make sure to make an appointment. They can sometimes squeeze you in for emergencies. One of the owners Dennis is a very honest and humble person to work with. He is upfront about any issues and does not try to upsell you any unnecessary service unlike most dealerships. Once our BMW's are no longer covered by the service warranties by the dealerships, we take our cars here. Their prices are reasonable for BMW service. read more

I brought my car in to you guys for a engine sound at 3k rpm in 3rd gear and you guys mistook it for 4th gear and said that there was no problem, I just realized this after driving the car for a week potentially damaging it. Go somewhere that will properly check for what you ask and pay for. Ps very rude and unwelcoming read more

Brought it in for a warning light issue, expecting the worst $$$$ walked away with a "pay it forward" it was just a taillight. Always happy when I come here. read more

I've been going to this shop for over a year now, and I haven't gone to any other since then. I've had many repairs done by them, such as a valve cover gasket, pumps, bushings, hoses, sensors and more, and their quality of work and prices are worth it and affordable. They've also saved me a lot of money by advising me not to do certain jobs yet because my parts are still in good condition or because it's unnecessary. Other shops would have taken that as a green light to make a quick buck, but these guys are honest and really look out for you. To Riccardo, Dennis, and their team, thank you guys for the work you do each time. I appreciate your guys' patience and effort, as always. read more

Dennis and team are absolute superstars. Awesome service, super professional, knowledgeable, and great prices compared to other places in the Bay (let alone the dealerships). Really looking forward to continue to use them for all my Bimmer needs. read more

Below average work and never 100%. Replaced my differential with a brand new one from bmw here and a couple weeks later had to tow the car in because the bushing for the mount was faulty and dislodged itself apparently. Clever way to not admit to improper installation. Alignment was done by string method due to alignment machine being down and instead of rescheduling for a day the equipment was operating correctly i was expected to pay for subpar alignment. Had some rod bearings changed out here and came home to a low oil warning light which is the worst thing to experience after a big job like that. For a reputable shop in the bay i was surprised by my experience here. Prepare for them to try to secure work and money out of you by playing on your fears. Valve adjustment job was estimated super high here so i got a second opinion elsewhere and they were able to discount their original estimate to be competitive but why is a discount even necessary in the first place why not just charge me honestly? Had to fight tooth and nail to have them remove most of the negative camber in the rear using adjustable control arms I acquired from bimmerworld which was confirmed by bimmerworld to be a viable solution. A rattle sound i presumed to be coming from the exhaust on cold start was diagnosed to be a problem with the vanos. Got new exhaust hangers and tightened up the exhaust points and that solved the issue. I would not recommend this place. Gave them multiple chances but consistently let me down. read more

Service always A+ and as expected it's not cheap to get cars repaired but this place is reasonable vs the BMW dealership and the owners are pretty cool as well. Good vibes :) read more

SV Bimmer has been servicing my cars the last few years, and theyre one of the few shops I trust with my cars. They serviced my e39 m5 replacing my rear brakes and pads, and helped diagnose a clunk in my front suspension with my coilovers. They also recently performed a rod bearing replacement with BE bearings and ARP bolts on my e92 m3, as well as replaced the engine mounts. I called around multiple shops and some were quoting me too high or they didnt have BE bearings in stock, but SVB gave me a good quote AND had the BE bearings and ARP bolts in stock. They also gave me an alignment since I just put on coilovers recently. For convenience, they also allow after hours drop off of your car if you call ahead. They allowed me to drop my car off after work (which was after they close shop for the day) and I filled out a form, then they called me the next day confirming they received the car. Also, they put an air freshener in all of their cars they service, so my car smells great! I would recommend SV Bimmer to any enthusiast or person who wants to take care of their cars. read more

Good value and quick service - never an over sell of services like at the dealerships.

I had brought in my car for some brake work. Guys were open honest and upfront about pricing. Estimate came out to the penny! Friendly service! Even gave suggestions for an ongoing maintenance program to keep my BMW running great! Not much of a waiting room or anything near by, so get a ride or take an UBER. Oh and the estimated time to completion was spot on! I will be back! read more

The absolute best shop "in my opinion", in the Bay Area! Not only are these group of people professional and knowledgeable about their work, but they are always available to answer questions, concerns, every time I have called. Had some awful experiences with couple shops in the past, and I am glad I have a shop I can rely on on both car modifications, as well as installs and repairs/services. It is my one stop-shop for all my BMW needs and have been referring them to everyone I know. Keep up the good work guys, and see you soon! read more

I never write negative reviews, but my experience was less than good. I set up an appointment about a week in advance and showed up early in the morning the day of to find out they didn't have the parts needed to do the job within the same day. They agreed to get the parts and I would come back the next day. So I drive back to SF and come back the next day, do some work and grab lunch, and go back to the shop only for them to let me know that the parts I had to wait an extra day for aren't the right ones (something I would have been able to tell them if I had seen the parts). I call my friend to pick me up since the car is out of commission. The third and final day, I get another friend to drive me down there again to pick up the car. The job was done. It seemed like an unfortunate turn of events, but it didn't go well from the start. The fact that they weren't prepared the first day I got there was disappointing. Three days and much gas money, time, and bribing of friends later, I finally have the job done. Won't be coming back. read more

The only place I trust with my E90 M3! They did my rod bearing replacement a few months ago and I was very satisfied with the service I was given. They were one of the few shops in the bay that were authorized to sell the aftermarket bearings that actually fix the issue. They gave me the old bearings as I requested and gave me a discount on replacing the motor mounts at the same time. I later took my M3 back to them because I though my Trans was having issues... they test drove it checked the fluid and thought me more about the DCT. Turns out it was in my head and the DCT is a bit awkward until it warms up. I also had them fix a door rattle while it was there. They knew exactly what it was! I excepted to pay like $300 for all this...they charged me $70!! I was blown away! They are legit, not after people's $$$ they actually like fixing cars and have a passion for BMWs. I'll be back, thanks guys! read more

Very dishonest. Took my e92 m3 there for rod bearing service. As part of that service they replaced timing cover gaskets and next oil service when I go in, they note "both timing covers leaking". Why? Less than 1000 miles later. Only answers are they didn't do it right the first time or they are lying. Their guys are straight assholes every time I speak with them. I'll never go back. Oh yeah, and there prices go up all the time. I'm sure the owner will respond with "well inflation blah blah..." I'm serious when I say this everyone. Don't go to this place. They are completely full of themselves. The Bay Area is big and there are lots of more honest and affordable places to go than Silicon Valley bummer. read more

My BMW maintenance plan recently came to an end and I brought my 340i here for an oil change and spark plugs. As this was my first service outside of BMW I did plenty of research looking for an independent BMW specialist that I could trust with my car and I'm happy with the service/expertise of the team at SV Bimmer - Quality, honest work at reasonable prices. read more

No need to take your BMW to this place they suck a lot and they think that they are the best but they treated me like SHIT. They did not even do the job that they are supposed to do and still charged me too much $$$$. Save your money and don't go there. read more

I came here because I was having some issues with my e93 M3 convertible roof, the BMW convertible roof mechanism is extremely fragile and difficult to fix so after hearing rave reviews about SVB I decided to trust them with this tough job.... and I'm so glad I did! They did a great job of diagnosing and fixing the problem in a timely manner and were extremely honest with me the whole process. I could not be happier with the results! I would highly recommend them for any BMW related job you have if you want the perfect result read more

took in our 2014 x3 for Apple CarPlay installation. while that work went fine we discovered the windshield was cracked in both the top and bottom corners on the driver side. sent pics to Dennis asking for compensation and he returned one of our pics to us with the crack circled saying his tech took it to document preexisting damage. it was clearly our pic taken at night in SF. very dishonest and silly. I do not recommend this business read more

It is a brake replacement, any shop could do that. However I choose this shop since they work on(majority) on the Bimmer car. Emailed them through yelp for a quote, and got the quote. When I appeared at the shop, the price went up by $100 dollars. NOT Ethical at all! Just be aware of this guy Ricardo, not friendly and not cool either. read more
