I have been having my BMWs repaired at Irvine European since 1999. My experiences have always been excellent. Every time I brought my car in, I was immensely satisfied, and I have never had a single problem. Until 2010, I brought my 1989 525i to them for all repairs and tune-ups, and now I have been bringing my 2003 745Li to them since I bought it in 2009 (with just 55k miles). When I recently looked online to see if there were reviews of the shop posted, I saw that there were very few and none on Yelp, so I decided to write one. Every BMW owner should know about this shop. They do all the repairs in a timely fashion and way cheaper than the dealer. They know BMWs inside out (they also specialize in other brands – like Mercedes -- and I am sure they do equally well with them). Moreover, they never try to get you to do more to your car than you need. I trust them completely. Incidentally, they are “all business.” In other words, they offer no “small talk” and do not have much going on with regard to “bedside manner.” I should also mention that the same guys have been working there since at least 1999. They are consistent in every respect that really matters to the costumer, and this, I think, is remarkable: they simply do great work, for a fair price, and in a reasonable amount of time.
