Euro Auto Spot

GREAT PLACE. I will not take my car anywhere els. Very professional and stright forward with price. Half the price of any dealership.

I’ve shuffled between the dealer and euro auto spot for repairs to my 335i for some time now. I have an extended warranty on my 335i that covers most repairs and sometimes I just had to have the free cookies and coffee at the dealer (since my deductible is the same either way). Well, my latest experience has made me an Euro Auto Spot customer for life. The jist of it is that when my check engine light came on, BMW of Vista told me that I needed new plugs/​coils/​injectors for a total of — GET THIS — $ 3,200!!! I almost immediately knew they were full of it! I’m pretty sure the dealer just ran the codes, found the code telling them bank 1 was running lean, and figured they could hose me. Little did they know I used to be in the business and knew how to run codes! I called Dan at Euro Auto Spot to schedule an appointment and he reminded me that we had just done new injectors on bank 1 less then a year ago! I had totally forgotten about this! If the injectors were indeed bad, they would still be under warranty. Instead of just reading codes and starting to replace parts (like BMW Vista!) EAS did a full smoke test of my intake/​engine and found that the diverter valves in my intake were shot. Total cost, $ 338 parts and labor. So to recap, the dealer tries to charge me $ 3,200. Then the dealer tried to hose my aftermarket warranty company for $ 3,200. I take the car back, bring it to Euro Auto Spot, they actually take the time to find out what is wrong, and charge me about ¹⁄₁₀ of the dealer. $ 338. Best part is my aftermarket warranty covered it. I was only out my $ 100 deductible. Thanks Dan and the EAS crew! You guys have my business for life!

Customer since 2009 that commutes from South Bay to get my 2004 BMW serviced by Euro Auto Spot! The most honest repair shop I’ve ever experienced & only one I will truly trust with my vehicle. This is how it all started…
Sometime in June of 09′ I had my last oil change that was covered under my extended warranty at BMW. Of course, they came up with a list of recommended repairs that were no longer covered. Note, I had taken in my vehicle about 3,000 miles before hand specifically for a vehicle inspection with the hope that repairs would be done/​covered while the warranty was still valid. A bit odd and funny! Wouldn’t you say? So, ultimately left the dealership with an estimated Invoice of $ 1,000 in recommended repairs. This is when I knew I had to look for a repair shop!
I then decided to check out Euro Auto Spot to obtain a quote for every item listed by the BMW dealership. Low and behold, Shane the Master Technician said my car was perfectly fine and did not need any of the repairs that were noted. He said there was some items that eventually would need repairs but it was nothing to be concern about nor would it interfere with the performance of my vehicle. The plan was to inspect these items every time I came in for my oil change. Fast forward, I went about 10−20k miles before an item on that list received a repair.
Way overdue review but truly deserved! Great group of professional guys. Appreciating their honesty and top notch quality of work. So glad I found them! Avoid the dealership once your warranties are done. You will not regret it.

If Unilocal had 6 stars, Shane and the folks at Euro Auto Spot would get them from us. A tricky problem that had cost me hundreds at other, less knowledgeable shops. Not only is Shane a fantastic and knowledgeable mechanic, he swore to me he would get me through my problem, and he did. Completely affordable. Your car is important but so are you. The folks here have a real interest in you and your car. They keep an impeccable shop and it’s no wonder they appear to be Go To shop for BMW owners. They love BMW, old and new, and it shows. Thank you Shane, we are sticking with Euro Auto Spot!

Called in for an oil change on the bimmer and they were able to get me in right that afternoon. They have a sweet break room while I waited and they kept me in check with how long it would take. Only took roughly an hour which isn’t bad at all. Would definitely recommend this place for your bmw service needs.

Amazing amazing amazing!!! First off I’d like to start by saying my entire family drives BMW’s and I have been to numerous places including BMW dealerships and no one tops Euro Auto Spot. Shane is not only a genius and knowledgeable on everything about cars but the history, the models and the most professional and thorough team. My whole family comes here and every person I talk to I refer to them. Truly the only person I trust with my car, and the whole team is amazing.

Let’s start off buy saying I am a dealer guy when it comes to my cars for repair after getting a repair bill from SD BMW
For just under 9000.00 dollars our cars are no longer under warranty but that was a lot I remember back 12 – 15 yrs one of my best friends and a few others always talk about this Master Mechanic at BMW and does repairs on the side well this guy is Shane he is well respected in the BMW community but even knowing this I still went to the dealer for any repairs it’s a trust issue with me personally just so I can understand what BMW was telling me I called my friend and went over the service recommend by BMW he told me I need to see Shane. I called him and was really amazed he was about ½ the cost of BMW he was really amazing and his brother Tom they both were very professional and easy to talk to as much as I like Brad Long and Jason at San Diego BMW.
Euro Auto Spot is my go to place now for my X3. And M3 everyone there is highly skilled and really know what there doing
If your car is still under warranty then stay at the dealership but after that this is the place to go they have my trust and that’s really a big deal. Yes they use OEM Parts and the skills are better then the dealership and several hundreds of dollars cheaper the only downside is they don’t have new BMW loaners I can deal with that. Euro Auto Spot has great people fare prices and really make you feel welcome

Just picked up my E46 M3 from getting its clutch replaced and I couldn’t be happier. Everyone was very easy to work with and the service was reasonably priced. They drove the car 72 miles to diagnose the problem and to make sure everything was working — and they filled up the tank! It’s the little things…
I’m never going back to the dealer!

I’m very impressed with these guys. I came in for an emissions light that was on and instead of telling me what cost was. The service writer explained the part is under warranty and didn’t charge me for the diagnosis.
Gained a new customer.

These guys are always on point.
They treat me like I owned the most expensive BMW here and I like that.
These guys are a great alternative to the BMW Dealership. Strictly because they’re a lot less expensive and they use the same BMW parts.
I come here every time with all my BMW’s.
Would never go any where else.

I am very protective of my cars. So when I choose a place for service, I am very particular on where I go. I’ve gone to Euro Auto Spot twice for routine/​preventative maintenance and I’ve had positive experiences both times. Their prices are reasonable and they are very professional. Most importantly, they appear to be very trustworthy. I did not get the sense that I was being ripped off with bogus issues, or nickel and dimed. I normally would go to the dealer, but this is now my go-​to place for my cars.

Had a great experience with these guys. They replaced my intake manifold in my Mercedes for a reasonable price.
Great customer service and they know their cars. I will be using them again and again.

This place is WORTH IT!!!
I drive an early 2000’s Bimmer and needless to say it needs minor things and some major. Either way these guys provide great customer service. They’re patient and listen to concerns and act like your personal mechanic always. They offer a chauffeur service if your destination is close! Quick to answer the phone and your questions. They’re extremely knowledgeable and direct about concerns and recommendations.
I’ve had many cars and mechanics and, as many, it’s hard to find the perfect one… I believe I’ve found it here.
Had to get my pulleys changed and do an oil change. Fix a window regulator and replace the windshield moldings and the rear window gasket. They have the best prices around for any BMW service. And the time it takes them isn’t long at all. They’re always jammin’ on other cars and get you in and out quickly.
Overall I give them the 5 – 5. I’d do 6 – 5 if it was allowed. If your struggling to find a good mechanic who does professional work for a price that won’t break your bank. I think your done looking here.

I can’t say enough about these guys. The service is top notch and they always treat me right. Today I had to buy a part and I asked if I should buy it there or would it be better to go the dealer. They said, «go to the dealer and tell them that we sent you» I got to the dealer and before I told him that they had sent me, they quoted me one price. After I told them that I was sent by the guys at Euro Auto Spot, the guy in the parts dept. called the guys at EAS and all of a sudden I had a 20% discount because they said that I was a good customer.

So I thought all the great reviews would be too good to be true. I was wrong. Not enough good reviews to express how great these guys are.
Took my M3 in after BMW couldn’t figure out an electrical problem (with having me commit to paying some serious $$), so looked on internet and came a cross these great reviews on EAS and it’s one thing to read about it and another to experience it for yourself.
Needles to say, they took care of the issues on my car without breaking my wallet. These guys are professional, courteous and absolutely just all-​round cool.
EAS has made a new fan out of me and will be using them for everything car related.

Great shop for repairs. They have a clean facility, great employees, and great pricing. I will definitely be coming back here for all my future servicing and repairs.

I bought a used BMW 750i last summer. It started smoking from exhaust every time I drove my car. There was A LOT of white smoke! I was soo concerned so I brought it to Euro Auto Spot it was the closest shop near me at the time. They told me that this is a common problem with my car and another model (I think they mentioned that this also happens with the 650i model too).
I have no idea what this means but the’ valve stem seals’ were leaking. They gave me a pretty good quote. I called around a lot of other places to perform this service so I chose to have Euro Auto Spot perform the service. They fixed my car and it doesn’t emit smoke anymore!
I am very happy with the service I received from Euro Auto Spot.
Thanks Tom! Will def be coming back if I have any more problems with my bmw.

I’ve been coming here for a few years now and every time the service has been spectacular. The moment you walk in, you are guaranteed a greeting with a smile and help right away.
I am clueless girl when it comes to cars and have no idea what anything means when anything break down. Luckily for me, this staff explains what is going on and what/​why they need to do a certain service. They’ll also let you know the urgency of the situation.
Getting the job done is one thing but when it’s done with high quality service, it makes you come back every single time! Honest and reliable. These guys won’t disappoint you! Thank you guys for always taking care of me!

So happy to have finally found my BMW shop. I brought my 2015 M3 in to get lowered and the service was phenomenal. I had called probably 4 to 5 other shops and even just over the phone these guys were so much nicer and not stuck up like a lot of other high end mechanics.
While waiting for my car I asked the other people in the lobby and they raved about their service. Many of them talked about Shane and how he had worked for BMW for many years and was frustrated with all the upsells the dealer did. He quit and then started his own shop with his brother. I don’t know the whole story but his customers were clearly passionate about how great he was.
To my surprise, Shane worked on my car and was super nice and down to earth. No ego at all like a lot of the other shops I visited. I honestly can’t wait to buy more stuff and go to this shop again, haha!

This review is long overdue. I have taken my last two BMW e90’s to Euro Auto Spot and I have NEVER been disappointed. They have consistently beaten the dealerships in terms of price and quality. Additionally, they are much better at sharing the details of the work they are doing (which I appreciate because I am a details guy) and you can actually have a conversation with the person that is going to be doing the work (ever tried that at a dealership?).
When you drive into the parking lot, you can see all of the various BMW’s that the employees drive, how often is that the case? They talk the talk and walk the walk. :)
I will definitely be taking my car back to EAS and I recommend them to all of my friends and co-​workers.
