Speedwurk Motorsport

Haven’t reviewed in a while, but this place is robbery…
Went in to get a complete set of tires with lowering springs and alignment.
Instantly the owner is telling me how all he cares about is his customers and he only does quality work…
I take my car home and the next day I noticed that they chipped the finish on my GS450h’s rims, so i give them a call and the bums denied damaging my $ 3400 rims. At about 4 months i noticed that the driver side rear tire was bald, so went elsewhere and they changed the tire and aligned it, with the readout saying that only 3 of the 12 alignment points were good and all the rest were way out of range. Seriously? city driving and bad alignment after 4 months?
I recommend you stay away from this place.

I’ve been using Speedwurk Motorsport to mount and balance new tires on three of my cars over the last 10 years: ’98 ML320, ’01 540i, and ’07 Accord. I’ve found it convenient to order my tires online from the Tire Rack and drop ship them directly, SM is an authorized tire mounting business on the Tire Rack which is how I found them in the first place…
They average about 10 – 15 minutes per tire to dismount and dispose of the old tire, and mount and balance the new tires. The cost in all this time has been $ 15 per tire for mounting and balancing including the stems. FYI, I think he charges more for tires wider than 40 series which was not a problem for me since I didn’t have anything bigger than that…
On one occasion I came in without an appointment to fix a nail in one of the tires in the ML. They pulled the nail, reamed the opening, and pressed the tire plug into the hole. All of this was ok since the nail was away from the side wall. I know this is not the optimal way to fix a flat, but it also avoids dismounting, applying a patch to the inner wall, and mounting and balancing. When it came time to pay for the tire repair, Sam asked «how much do you think is fair?» I gave him $ 15 — the same amount it would take to dismount and mount a new tire. He had no problem with this whatsoever…
I feel badly for some of the other reviewers here who had wrote about problems but as I’ve previously mentioned, I’ve been working with Sam over the last 10 years and haven’t experienced any problems, but I’ve only used SM for tires and nothing else. I trust my Bimmer mechanic to do the same work since he has the equipment too, but other than that I will continue to give SM my business when I need tires mounted and balanced…

Just read what the most recent review said about him getting burned with the tire plug. I want everyone considering this place to be ware. I believe the only reason this place has high ratings is due to friends of theirs leaving high reviews. If you notice, pretty much all of the reviews with 5 stars come from Unilocalers with very few reviews. To me that means this placed called on some friends and said, hey help us out, leave some reviews. As far as im concerned, they probably never had any work done at this place. I will never take my 94 Toyota Supra to this place. Sam is not trust worthy unless you stay there the whole time while he works on your car and watch his mechanice like a hawk! Better yet, take it somehwere else!

I ordered tires from The Tire Rack and had them delivered to Speedwurk through the recommended installer program. The tires arrived, I made an appointment and my car was serviced at the scheduled time. Four tires installed and a four-​wheel alignment later, I was off with my nicely riding (for the first time in a long time) car.
Met and worked with Sam and had a great experience.
Thanks Sam and thanks Speedwurk.

Sam! Thanks again for your help! You always come through for me!

First-​class service and top-​quality product.
I went there with my car in danger of overheating. Needed a thermostat and some other fun stuff. The young man that helped me was very knowledgable, friendly, and instilled confidence in me that my car was in good hands — and boy was it ever.
They used only top-​quality, OEM parts to fix my car and it’s never run as smooth. It’s a warm environment that seems to be family-​owned and operated.
I’m actually going back there in a week to have my front bumper replaced. Stupid concrete bumper in my apartment complex felt the need to practically rip it off my car. Already spoke to my guy at Speedwurk and it’s in the works. Can’t wait to see my new ride when it’s all done.
I HIGHLY recommend Speedwurk to ANYONE who needs ANYTHING done to their car!

Dishonest — won’t come near this place again.
I had gone to the BMW dealership across to street for some service, when they mentioned I had a nail in my right rear tire. Though they didn’t patch tires, they mentioned the place across the street did.
When I arrived, I asked the manager how much it was to patch a flat tire. He talked very friendly and warm, and told me it was $ 20. However, as I watched the mechanic repair the tire, I saw that he was simply plugging the tire. I called the manager over and asked how he could charge me $ 20 for plugging the tire.
He became agitated and flustered and tried to intimidate me by speaking loudly and aggressively. He said he could call up 50 other places that charged the same amount. I told him, sure, please do, but then he quickly asked me how much would be a fair amount to charge.
I didn’t think I should pay anything, but I didn’t want this guy to do anything to my car or to me, so I offered him a token $ 5 just so I could get out of that place. He didn’t even give me a receipt or any type of documentation of the work nor transaction. In the court of law, this whole incident would be considered as never happened.
I ended up driving to Just Tires at the Santa Anita mall to see if they could repair the damage by unplugging the tire and properly patching it. However, they told me they couldn’t touch the plug due to liability issues, so now, for my peace of mind, I’ll probably end up getting new tires.
Anyways, I should have read the reviews, and I got burned for it. I find it odd that it has only 5 star reviews and 1 star reviews, and based on my own experience, I would question the legitimacy of the 5 star reviews.
I hope my review can help other people from having the same bad experience.

Sam runs a great business here! Great personal, customer service and a staff knowledgeable about MINI Coopers, which is smart when you’re across the street from a dealership. I had a tire emergency across the street and since my tires were after-​market, a guy at the dealership recommended Sam. He took care of me on short notice and I got beautiful wheels and tires put on to match my red and black Cooper. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I have been coming to this place for a couple of years now to get some work done on my car and the experiences have been enjoyable. Haro and his father Sam have done some great work on my car over the years. From lowering it to custom work to adding rims and sound systems and H.I.D. I have always had a pleasurable experience with Speedwurk. Haro is very knowledgeable when it comes to cars and custom modifications and has all the experience one needs to run a successful business in this industry. Sam has always tried to give me a fair price when it comes to custom modifications and work as well as the price of parts. You really have to be careful because other places can rip you off and offer you discount prices when in fact their not. If you are looking for a place to modify your car or just to have some maintenance done then I would recommend this place.

Awesome experience! They define service and quality! Took my car to get 20″ 3piece wheels along with a lowering kit. Great turn around time and the work was flawless. Price was nice too. Have recommended a few friends to Speedwuk and they have had similar experiences. Thanks!

Do not go here if you value your car and your money!
I went here twice and I was thoroughly dissatisfied both times.
I had them install a turbo on my car and they left vital parts such as the heat shield off. They also left wires and vacuum lines untied and freely hanging. Poor work if you ask me. Had I not inspected it, it would have led to serious problems.
I paid for a 2.5″ quiet exhaust system 6 months ago and only when I removed it to upgrade to a 3″ exhaust do I find out it’s a 2.25″ system. They didn’t/couldn’t do what I asked and they lied about it.
Decently priced labor costs do no justify the low level of work. Whether they intended to rip me off or not, I just don’t know. One thing I do know is that I’ll never go there again and encourage you to steer clear as well!
