2002 WRX wagon had been garage for a few years and one day when I went out to start it up it wouldn't start. Had it towed over to Ubersport. They fixed the bad fuel pump, installed a high flow cat downpipe I had and tuned it. The car feels like it runs better now than when it was my daily driver! I have been trusting Kevin and his team since I first brought my 2002 WRX to them for a busted turbo back in 2007 (Garage Tuning at that time). read more

Excellent, friendly, & professional service. They were able to offer me same day service, and completed the job in a few hours. I will definitely utilize them again! read more

I lost my Forester cuz these guys took over 4 months to do a crap rebuild. The car just sat. They ask for half up front which was BIG MISTAKE and explains no motivation to finish the job. After harping on them every "two weeks", I got it back but the engine ultimately blew a head gasket highway driving not even a year later. I'm a very conservative driver and keep the PSI in negative as much as possible. They tried to pass blame to me- saying I overfilled with oil. FYI- Oil changes are easy after installing a Fumoto drain plug valve and when the filter sits on top of the engine bay... I'm not stupid Kevin and Kelly. So yeah, RED FLAGS all around- especially when they ask for money to "MAKE PAYROLL." Stay away if you don't want to support these LIARS and THIEVES. read more

They guys at Uberaport Performance are amazing. Always communicating with whatever my Subie needs. Super knowledgeable call things Subaru related, even non-subaru related. They are even willing to walk me through everything they did. Super affordable and won't try to upsell you. read more

I needed a complete engine diagnostic and eventually rebuild; I first took it to Subaru of Huntington Beach where I was quoted an astronomical price of $14,000 to tear down the block and diagnosis the problem. I was worried at first, but after a few calls to Kevin I drove down to his shop. After speaking with Kevin and Kelly I knew my 2013 Subaru WRX STI hatch was going to be in good hands. We discussed what was needed, the issue with the motor (Piston Rod Bearing). Kevin and Kelly explained all the parts that would be needed, communicated with me all the steps along the way. I ended up needing a engine rebuild, so I decided to upgrade the pistons, rods, bearings, etc. Upon inspection and having the motor removed, they called me to let me know I should replace the clutch and flywheel as it was due. They provided honest feedback and reasoning for using one part over a different one I inquired about. They provided a detailed part list, and the process of which to break in the motor. They were firm with the first couple of oil changes and diagnosis the new build after 500 miles. I have the car back on the road and the engine and clutch is running great. I have plans to continue to build my Subaru and know that I am valued and trust Kevin and Kelly with my build. It's rare to find a shop that will be upfront and honest with you about what you should and shouldn't do. They advised me on parts I should avoid and how to maintain and service my motor for peak performance as well as reliability. Both guys really know their Subaru's. So happy I found this shop. read more

I worked with Kevin. He tuned the COBBB map for my 2018 WRX. It's a relief after tunning, my car feels as smooth as butter. I throttle up to 6 to 7000 rpm without a tiny struggle. My DAM dropped down to. 875 a couple times but Kevin had no problem responding to my issue and re-tuned my car to where it settled. I don't mind coming back to work on my car in the future. read more

Lost some exhaust bolts at the end of a cross country road trip. Staff was very kind and squeezed me in between appointments. They will be my first call for any future maintenance needed when I'm in the area. read more

Love these guys. They take such good care of me. I have lots of questions as I am a new Subaru owner. I feel like I'm treated like family read more

They do good work! They know what's going on with your vehicle and seem honest and reasonable which is hard to find anymore.

I really wanted these guys to be THE SUBIE shop since they are local, but they really aren't. Countless oversights, multiple mistakes on all ends. Kevin first helped me with inspection and gave me a good list of what needed to be done. I made appointment weeks ahead since they were busy, gave them a confirmation on the work that needed to be done. Upon arriving for drop off on a Friday morning I was passed on to Kelly, somewhat confused considering Kevin said on inspection he would be doing the work, but whatever went with it they are very kind and easy to talk to. They sent me a list of confirmed work being done that they texted me the labor/parts and work being done and Kelly wrote on a post it note while we walked around car. Seems great, car was to be done by Monday morning. It wasn't and they did not reach out to me, I had to call them. Said maybe later Monday that some things were taking longer than anticipated but that they would call back, cool okay stuff happens. Communication/ honesty is key in these industries. I called Tuesday afternoon since they never called back and said it would be ready by Wednesday but something seemed off they had another excuse. Wednesday morning I was already on my way when they called to see what was the issue, told me car is ready. Awesome! Until I got there... looked over receipt and turbo drain hose that was my biggest issue from oil leak was not replaced, when I asked about why wasn't it done, he told me "I wrote all the work on my sticky note and I don't have that on here." BUT I GOT CHARGED AN HOUR OF LABOR @ $200/hr for the heat shield that that was supposed to get installed, while being in that area to change turbo drain line.... I was upset. BUT IT GETS WORSE . Apparently they left my car in the shop with windows down, they have cats. Well their cat peed in my car throughout the weekend multiple times and areas on my STI blue suede interior and only telling me this once I showed up in person because it was inevitable. Now it's making sense as to why my car took longer than expected.....To top it off I am very allergic to cats, making my car unbearable to be in. Not an odor that can be eliminated very easily even if you know where the urine is. Not to mention I still had to go to Aristocrat autosports to get the turbo drain line(they finished it in less then an hour). Also, upon checking my oil afterwards it was a quart of oil low.... They did valve covers and did not even check/refill oil.THE ONLY honorable part out of this situation and reason for 2 stars is they did cover a full interior detail, but now it's summer and the heat is just reigniting the odor still lingering months later. Really wanted to like this place but I cannot recommend this experience or place to anyone for reference I have a bugeye Subaru. You have been warned, go somewhere else please. They didn't even clean the things they took off to get to turbo, everything touched was covered in dirt/oil. Hoses were brand new when dropped off and just, absolutely filthy afterwards. Little things like that and pcv crossover had been freshly painted white and just had scratches and flaked paint all over, not a deal breaker.... Just seemed careless and sloppy This next part might not even be related but within 2 months my turbo started seeping sludge after this(I have AOS) there should be NO blowby, things happen but this just seems too coincidental. I' should have done things myself like usual and will for future. Stay away!! read more

I did not get my car serviced here because it was a big and costly repair which was not supposed to be an easy decision. But I'll give Kevin and Kelly 5 stars for honesty, transparency and knowledge. They kept my car for a day but explained to me all the problems the car had and how much it would cost. Even though they did some work (lifting the car, opening up the bottom cover etc.) they didn't charge for anything and were not pushy at all. They told me all of my options, explained the problem and how it came to be. And this is probably the least I can do is leave a good review! read more

This place is beyond bad if I can give it zero stars I would. Reading some of these comments on how bad it is and to stay away from it I should of listened! These guys (Kevin) (Kelly) are full of it and have an excuse for anything and everything. The will switch parts out on your car tell you there using the best quality when it's the cheapest shit just to make a few more dollars. They told me parts take 1 month to arrive! Listen You don't believe me just read the comments. IF YOU HAVE A DREAM BUILD DO NOT BRING HERE IT WILL BE THE WORST DECISION YOU MADE! read more

This review is long overdue. I took my wife's Gc8 in for a few repairs and was helped by the owner Kevin. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and honest. This might be one of my go to's around the area from now on! I'm going to be bringing the GD here tomorrow for a new clutch which reminded me to leave this review. Thanks guys!! read more

Phenomenal customer service. This shop knows what they're doing and they do it well.

I am very happy with me experiences at Ubersport. They have performed a good amount of work on my WRX with good results. They have reasonable pricing. They installed my Koyo Radiator, Grimmspeed radiator shroud, hood scoop block off. And they set me up with a custom oil cooler with Setrab core, custom lines and AN fittings, and Setrab sandwich adapter which helped tremendously. These guys are honest and their work is top notch. Thank you for everything! read more

Before you bring your car into a Subaru stealership to do general preventive maintenance or repairs, please give these guys a try!! They are all approachable, knowledgeable and it feels nice knowing you can talk to the people who are going to work on your car rather than a serge advisor. Had a bunch of issues with the suspension of my '14 fozzie XT, and now it drives like new!! read more

I am very grateful to Ubersports. The mechanics are the Very Best. I have had nothing but problems with my Subaru Forester. We found Ubersports online and it has been the best gift to me. My SUV is 12 years old, I bought it brand new. Three years after owning it I began having nothing but problems. I dealt with several dealerships from Fullerton to San Bernardino and I experienced nothing but more problems. I was going to get rid of the SUV but thank God I didn't. Ubersports had their work cut out, but they stood up to the task. My 2012 Subaru Forester runs like a brand-new vehicle. I am so happy I found them. I am also pleased with their prices. I am thrilled with the friendly and professional environment. They have made me a delighted lady. read more

Great shop for Subarus! You'll be impressed by the different Subarus parked around this shop. I stopped by because I had a small oil leak. Kevin took the time to inspect my car and found that the drain plug was simply loose so he tightened it up. He also had some quick recommendations for future services. I really appreciated his expertise and passion for Subarus. I'll be coming back for future services as they really know subbies. Highly recommend to check them out if your subbie needs some love and you are tired of dealership prices. Thanks Kevin and Kelly! read more

My husband and I have a 2014 WRX and, unfortunately, during new tire installation, a wheel stud was broken. I called Ubersport and talked to Kelly, who was so kind, patient, and very knowledgeable and was able to squeeze us in during the very busy thanksgiving holiday week, which was a huge relief! Once we were at the shop and the new stud was replaced, actually, all five needed to be replaced on that hub, Kevin also advised us on some other things that were needed to be done. Kevin was also so very kind, patient, super knowledgeable and took the time to explain, without judgement why some things needed replacing and/or work. The price quoted on the phone was honored and very fair. We will absolutely go back to Ubersport for anything our WRX needs in the future. I am so grateful we found Kevin, Kelly and Ubersport! read more

Took my 2019 wrx sti to get brakes done. Quick, easy and much cheaper than the dealer

Ubersport is an outstanding Subaru specialist shop that stands as one of the few options here in Orange County for us Subaru drivers. Honest pricing, impeccable work and great insight for basically all your Subaru needs. I have taken my WRX wagon and my lady's Forester XT here for major work and the results are beyond expectation. Highly recommended. read more

I took my Subaru into a dealer for an oil change and they told me I needed a new air and in cabin filter but didn't have time during the service to finish it. Since I don't live close to the dealer, I decided to find an auto shop who specialized in Subaru's a little closer, and thanks to Yelp, found Ubersport. I called around 9am right after they opened. They wanted to make sure they could get the parts so asked if they could call me back, which they did within a few minutes. They told me they had their driver turn around to go pick up the needed filters. Dang - I made the driver turn around! Showed up around 2ish, found a place to park, checked in and they knew instantly what I was there for. Had me pull up to right to the door where he proceeded to install the parts. Honestly, after watching him, I could have done it myself, but I'm not a car guy so I don't mind making sure it's done right. The in cabin filter is a little more challenging. In 10 minutes he was done. They only charged me for the parts because it was so simple. I had to wonder - the dealer really didn't have to do that? Seems a little fishy to me. Plus the dealer quote was over twice as much as Ubersport charged me. Now to be honest - this isn't the nicest looking facility. There is no waiting room, and barely an office. It's an auto shop, but dang - what they lack in facilities is sure compromised with incredible speed and service. read more

Great help from Kelly!! Thank you Kelly and Ubersport! Solid guys, very nice and able to tell me exactly what was going on with my WRX. As well as show me what exact part to replace. Great mechanic! I will be going back to Ubersport from here on out! Thank you again! Im going to buy the new part and go back so they can install it as well! Thanks again! read more

This is solely based on time quote. I was told that the work would take 3 weeks. 3 months later I still don't have my car. Thankfully we were able to borrow a car in the meantime, but not everyone has this luxury. Granted Kevin did say it depends on the shipment of parts etc, but still that's a pretty poor time estimate...I cannot review the work because I haven't gotten my car back yet. When I get it back, I may update my review. read more

These guys are great! The communication was on point & the shop was very clean. Ubersport installed a Proflex Commander for e85 & a set of lowering springs on my gt350. They took great care of the car & did an awesome job wiring the harness! I will definitely be bringing the car back for the remaining suspension pieces soon. It's nice to know I have a new permanent shop I can trust. read more

What can I say I just found a great suby specialist in the OC area. Kevin and Kelly are such helpful and friend guys. They know everything about suby and more. Came here for a suspension install and upgraded, cause I tho it was the old suspension that was making nosie on my XT. They located the problem and found out it was my wheel bearing which was crazy loose. Good thing they found out early if not I would be in major problem. They also diagnosed other issue which I will fix down the line. I really appreciate there work and will be coming back for sure. read more

I've been taking my Subaru wrx here for a couple years and always liked them. At my last oil change, the taller of the two, I believe Kevin, told me that my brakes were almost out and to change them next time for higher performance brakes, which was back in feb. I kept thinking about how I needed to change my brakes because of them and didn't want to go anywhere due to the pandemic. My buddy said he'll change them out for me and when we did...the brakes were not even close to out. What crooks. read more

Amazing and honest shop! I will only take my Subaru to this shop. I trust them. They do amazing work. If you have a Subaru or any Japanese vehicle, take it here. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you Ubersport! read more

175,000 Mile Update: To me, a good repair shop is one that can keep an old car running. After my 2006 Outback consistently overheated and persistently misfired and my regular mechanic could not fix the problem, Kelly & Kevin brought new life to my car and it now runs great. Although my car ended up needing several repairs including new heads and a catalytic converter, their estimates were reasonable and accurate and, most importantly, they stood behind their work until my car ran perfectly, as it still does today about 2,000 miles after the repairs. They even helped me find a Smog Check place nearby that I used after the repairs. Of course, I recommend them highly and won't trust my car to anyone else. read more

My car won't start thought it was just a simple fix fuel pump or nothing major find out a lot of things goes wrong with it. At the end they went ahead and fix all the issues, great service, friendly, really gives you details on the issue on my car. They are so helpful and my car runs way better than before. Thank you guys so much! Highly recommend place to get your car fixed. Very professional and polite. Thank you guys!!!! read more

Hands down the best, most trust worthy Subaru specialist shop here in SoCal. Gave me a call and even offered to show what/where the problem was when one would arise and actually teach me a bit about my car. Not only that, I bought a salvaged car so to me it was no big surprise one thing led to another, but my car became such a huge project that at the end I felt like I was ripping them off on how much they helped me. To them it's all about costumer satisfaction and getting their cars back to them ASAP. Definitely will be returning here for all my maintenance and tune up requirements. read more

These guys have kept my WRX running well for over 250k miles so far. They stand behind their work. My goal is reliable performance and they have helped me achieve that over the years. Generally, things are done right the first time but when they made a mistake years ago on ordering a suspension part they owned it and made it right. read more

I used to come here when it was garage tuning back in the days. I used to get small jobs done here for a great reasonable price. Unfortunately times have changed and they are no longer my go to shop anymore. They quoted me almost double what dealership quoted. I used to work in the industry and I know when someone is blowing me off. I will no longer recommend these guys to and will have my old shop do the same. read more

Brought my 2017 wrx sti to these guys for a blown head gasket. I asked about doing the clutch and timing belt service since the motor would be out and they gave me a great price and the work done was top notch! Kelly and Kevin are very knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable leaving them to the task of so much work! They also replaced my front rotors and pads and even hunted down an oem radiator fan shroud for me. I will be bringing my car to them for all future mods and or maintenance! If you own a Subaru this is your shop in Orange county. read more

2nd major repairs needed on my 2005 sti. Kelly and Kevin where upfront about problems with my car and most importantly the cost of repairs, like always they do good work and kept me up to date on progress. Repair time was estimated for 2 weeks and they got it done within 2 weeks and I was on my way. Will be returning for all my Subie need! read more

Bought a pre-owned subaru with upwards of 175,000 miles on it and ran into a few problems. Talked with Kevin and Kelly and I have to say these guys are as professional as it gets. Unbelievably happy with the work they did and if I ever need anything else done I know I'm coming back to Ubersport. read more

If I could give ZERO STARS I would!!! What an absolute joke. I have spent 2 motor builds with this shop and have sent them sevwral builds that have all failed. Not only is their level of work and competency below unsatisfactory, they steal their customers parts and hard earned money. I stood by this shop originally after a referral from a trusted friend who has since been screwed over by them as well. Every car I've sent their way has had to go to other shops to fix numerous issues. My motor had to come out again after my head studs were not properly torqued and two different head gasket thicknesses from two different companies were used. They ruined 2 clutch jobs and said that they'd cover it if I brought it back to them. After 2 failed attempts I chose not to. They assured me that they'd pay for half of the job done by the other shop which fixed it. When I first picked up the car there were so many things wrong! Missing bolts in the transmission, intake manifold bolts finger tight, turbo oil line kinked and the list goes on! I'm writing the review today because of the way Kelly (the business owner) handled the most recent situation. I let bygones be bygones for all of the terrible work done and simply wanted my other set of Manley 9.8:1 compression pistons returned to me. He told me that unfortunately he could not find them in the shop but he can't vouch for his employees (pretty much saying that if they stole my pistons then it's not his responsibility). If this review saves one person from getting robbed and screwed over by this shop then my job is done. This is an attempt to save paying customers the heartache of thinking that this shop will be able to accomplish anything paid for. I have never been one to bash any shop but if nobody ever reprimands them for this type of behavior, then they will continue to ruin people's cars and wallets. Save yourself the trouble and AVOID THIS SHOP at all costs!!! read more

I'm new to Orange County and I wanted to take my car to a shop that specialized in Subaru's. After having a conversation on the phone with Kevin, he explained details about the car that only someone who is familiar with Subaru's would be able to explain. I took my car in and had it back in a couple of hours. The cost to replace both front axles was the same price to replace one axel at the local firestone. Kevin and Kelly know how to give their customers peace of mind before bringing a car in to be worked on and after by providing fair prices that will keep me coming back. read more

Didn't take my car in for a fix but they did recommend me what parts to replace so I wouldn't have to pay if I didn't have to. These guys are knowledgeable mechanics. read more

I was riding in my friend's car when it started making crazy noises. I started getting freaked out and told him that I'd be driving until he got that fixed! He took it to this spot and found out that it was a bad gasket that was causing all of that noise. Within a short time, Kelly had everything fixed up and ready to go. I'm no longer scared of riding with my friend haha. read more
