My whole family has always brought their BMW to Performance Motor Works. I have a BMW X3 and the motor mounts and driveline needed replaced and they were the first ones to my rescue. Dan and Martin worked with me and communicated with me all the way. They send pics/videos of your repair before they fix it, so you can see that it really needs fixed. I highly recommend taking your vehicle to Performance Motor Works!

I was a first time customer of Performance Motors and had confidence bringing my vehicle here for service based on all of the positive reviews. I have a high mileage VW that was in need of significant maintenance. The initial estimate of the services my vehicle needed seemed fair and reasonable so I approved the majority of the recommended services. However, due to an existing subframe issue my vehicle had they were unable to complete all of the approved services.

After speaking with the Advisor I had been working with I still was not satisfied with the explanation but was content to finally get my car back. Once it was time to pick up my vehicle there was a miscommunication with the Advisor and my vehicle had been left in the shop so I was unable to retrieve it as planned. I called the shop and left a message then immediately recieved a call back from Dan, the owner. Dan went out of his way to make things right and took ownership of the situation.

I am grateful and appreciative of what Dan did for me. Dan showed empathy, compassion and leadership in this moment which reaffirmed my initial decision to have my vehicle serviced here. Thank you Dan!

I have been a happy customer for approximately 7 or 8 years now. PMW is my go to. In fact I have a 2021 MINI they will be taking care of in a few years. They just do good business. They're honest, give you all the options, and perform good work.

Highly recommend this place. The dealership was trying to charge me a ridiculous amount to get some work done on my BMW. Once I brought my car here they were able to fix it in a timely manner for half the cost of what the dealership was trying to charge. The staff here is fantastic! They kept me updated with every step and made sure I was informed. They were willing to accommodate my needs as well. Overall this is just a great place. You will not be disappointed if you come here!

I suddenly found myself with a car that wouldn't start. Dan and his team were able to help in a pinch and even though it took a while to get the part (supply chain issues) their service was fast and top notch. I know who my go-to mechanic is now! Services: Vehicle Inspection, Steering & suspension repair

Dan and his team were excellent! I had a error code for my cat bank 2 and they were able to fix and replace my cat headers. He explained how and showed me why they were failing. The turn around time was very fast and very professional. The car has a clean bill of health now. Thanks! Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Exhaust

Alex was amazing and put us at ease. Our daughters car had not been in a shop for 50k miles and we had a few issues to resolve. Alex walked us through each repair and what our options were. Our number one priority was safety for our daughter and he kept that at the forefront of his recommendations. Did they earn our trust? YES! Great job Performance Motors!

Amazing customer service, kind and honest! They are thorough and give you straight answers and opinions that fits your needs. Never push anything you don't want to do or make you think your car is in drastic need of something just to make money. They break it down for you what needs attention and what can wait. They also print out their findings and are very transparent.

I recent purchased a 2015 Mini Cooper and emailed PMW to request a diagnostic appointment. The dealership stated they did work so I wanted to get a second opinion. I received an email right away from Nick and schedule an appointment the following week. I dropped of my car and got it back by the end of the day. Nick went through the findings and answered all of my questions. Gave me sound advice about the car.

I'm so glad I chose to get a second option. Now I have something to go back to the dealer with and have them fix what they said they fixed but didn't. I'm a loyal customer for life and highly recommend coming here! Thank you!

Dan and his talented crew of BMW master techs were professional and efficient with the service I needed for my 328xi. I was fully informed about what needed to be done for my vehicle and what to expect for subsequent regular maintenance. Have been a loyal PMW customer for 20yrs now and wouldn't take my BMW anywhere else. All is handled with integrity at PMW - thanks so much!

Performance was great. Had a pre-purchase inspection done for a potential purchase (recommended for all buying a used car, dealer or not) and uncovered numerous problems with the dealer car, that would've equated $2500. They fit me in quick and have a timely evaluation and saved me from someone else's problem. These guys ROCK and are serious about making sure people are cared for and given all the information they need to make educated decisions. Impacting decisions!

My car was misfiring so I took it to a shop and had the spark plugs replaced. The car was still misfiring so I took it to Performance Motorworks instead, where I was having some other work done. They spent hours diagnosing the misfire and could not find anything wrong. They did not charge me for the diagnostic on the misfire since they could not fix the issue at the time.

I drove the car and got it to generate some error codes and took the car back to them. They still could not find anything technically wrong with the vehicle. But, they had an informed hunch that the new spark plugs that were put in the car may be the issue. They replaced the new spark plugs with a different OEM brand and that fixed the issue! When I went to pick up the car and pay for the work, they said that they had already contacted the other shop and were working it out.

I did not need to pay anything. This business knows how to treat customers. They are always very informative on what they are doing. They always treat you fairly. They go above and beyond in customer service. More businesses need to take note and step up their game. I am and will be a repeat customer.

I had to take my son's VW in for repair. I didn't know where to go and did my research and picked this place. I'm glad I did. They have the best customer service. Travis kept me informed every step of the way and always explained exactly what they were doing and why it needed to be done. Thanks Travis. You guys earned my loyalty. Happy Thanksgiving.

It is truly hard to find a place of business that you can trust wholeheartedly these days. That said, I've been a loyal customer with Performance Motor Works for well over a decade now. I will not trust my well kept 20 year old 540i to any other establishment. In my most recent visit my 540 had a recurring issue with the rear window. My wife reminded me that we might still be under warranty.

Sure enough, when I checked in at PMW, they immediately told me that it will be replaced under a warranty! I am so thankful that these guys are still in business in my neighborhood and hope that they continue to prosper. Thanks guys.!

Just needed routine 75K service, but these guys were very responsive with providing a detailed quote where others would only give a price with no breakdown of exactly what was included. In addition their quote was just a bit cheaper then the other 3 shops I contacted and the process of making an appointment, dropping off for serivce and picking up was easy. Only my first visit, but I definitely plan to return.

Once again, Dan and the team at Performance Motor Works came through for me and my vehicle. This is the only place I will bring my vehicle for maintenance and repairs. They always do right by me and the work is completed in a timely manner. If you own a German automobile, this is the place to go! A+ service! Thanks again Dan, I appreciate it!

Our Mini Cooper has a leak from the front mirror and we decided to give Performance a try and it was such a great decision. The service was excellent and they tightened all the screws on the sunroof and the problem solved and the price they charged was surprisingly reasonable. They also gave us tips about how to keep an eye on issues like this. Overall a five star experience. Highly recommend!

Phil did a pre-purchase inspection on my BMW 135, and was meticulous. The car turned out to be in great shape but there were a few minor details he pointed out for future maintenance. These guys are pros and I would trust them with any vehicle I had.

Very good at communicating. They made sure to address the specific items I was concerned about. They also listed additional discoveries, but in the most no-pressure kind of way. Their system for notification and approval of specific repair items is super convenient. Definitely my go-to euro repair location.

This is the most professional shop I have ever been to. Their level of attention and care to your vehicle is unsurpassed. They are very informative and kept me updated constantly with the convenience of email and an updated service bill. If you own a German made vehicle, this is the shop you have been looking for. A+ service without putting a dent in your bank account.

I've been taking all my BMW's to this shop for years now, staff is very friendly & accommodating. Pricing is so reasonable you wouldn't think you were paying to repair a BMW. Phil is the best mechanic I've met, & has a crazy amount of product knowledge. I wouldn't trust anyone else to touch my car I recommend this shop 100%, everyone is honest & won't pull a fast one on you. Dave runs a good shop.
