Vac Motorsports

While visiting Philly from Atlanta my X5 encountered issues on the road. Pulled it over in NC and was advised I could make it to Philly to have it checked out. Long story short after calling several reputable dealerships and local mechanics I was distraught because of the cost and time involved because I needed to get back to GA asap due to a sick mom. Just as I was at my lowest point my cousin referred me to VAC Motosports at 25th & Snyder. Not only did they stay within my budget to get me safely back on the road to Georgia but made some great recommendations to prolong the life of my X5. Hands down VAC would be my go to Beemer doc for any and everything. Was overly impressed with the overall knowledge and service. I don't normally write reviews but they were soooo awesome and I know how rare excellent customer service is that I had to let the world know. If you are in Philly or nearby they are the place to care for your Beemer...if you are passing through like me look no further they are the place to care for your Beemer...HANDS DOWN I rate VAC 20 out of a scale of 1-10!! Pros: EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, KNOWLEDGABLE STAFF, OVERALL A+ Cons: Located in Philly and I'm in Atlanta more

I recently bought a tired old E36 M3 that VAC has brought back to life for a lot less money than I was expecting. I took the risk and pretty much told them to address what needed to be done. They were very honest and upfront with what need to be done now, what could wait and what really didn't need to be addressed until my credit card recovered a bit. The M3 has never run better. Quiet, straight and smooth. I would recommend VAC to anyone. Pros: Friendly staff, experienced techs Cons: None so far more

let me just say this place is sweet. i would go here over anywhere in the area, they are the only ones i'll let touch my M3, becasue they're the only ones that dont eff it up :)! all of the guys there are awesome and they really really know their stuff...it is a littttle tiny bit more expensive than other generic garages, but they fix it right, the first time, and imo better than anywhere. goooooo vac! Pros: the BEST bmw guys around Cons: eh, none more

I have had my M3 serviced at VAC for 4 years. I was referred to the facility by my local BMW dealer who spoke very very highly of them and there specialty in the vintage M3s. The dealer employee noted that it would be cheaper than the dealership and It would be worth the trip into down town Philly. I was hesitant, but willing to give them a shot. Pros: Masterfull with BMWs, even the dealer recomends them, lots of performance parts too. Cons: No weekend hours for walk in service. more

Pathetic service and over-expensive. Did not get what i expected. I guess driving to Bavarian Autosports in KOP is much better and worth it. Cons: Very expensive more

In response to ""Firstbeamer"" review which was excessively negative, I would venture to say that he has a character issue. I happen to work at VAC and Customer Satisfaction IS NUMBER ONE here. We pride ourselves on being fair, honest and ONLY recommending what is absolutely necessary. This claim from Firstbeamer leaves me sobered and disappointed that someone can spend only a total of $400 which included an intake leak repair, a coolant leak repair, exterior temp sensor and a factory level diagnostic on 2 visits ! Pros: quality and highly experienced BMW service at 30% below factory! Cons: not yet open on saturdays more

These guys may be good in racing and rebuilding BMW engines but please beware. They will break your car more than they will fix it. I recently visited the facility for doing regular maintenance work on my car. They are not concerned with CUSTOMER SATISFACTION at all. They just want to make money. They never called me to tell me where they are in the process and when i called back they said they want to keep my car for another day just to tell me that there are 10,000 problems with my car (even if it drives perfectly). I own an OBDII meter myself and there was only 1 fault code; which after the visit to VAC i could find 5 codes. They remove parts from the car without notifying the customer and when i fought with them about the same thing they said your part was not functioning properly so we removed it. Imagine someone telling you that your lungs arent functioning properly and just removing them without letting you know. If you love your car ... DONT EVER VISIT VAC !!! Pros: Good for engine rebuild Cons: Will take away all your money more
