I love EAS. I spent a lot of time researching reputable shops that work on BMW and chose EAS even though I live in San Diego.Kevin and his guys have pretty much built my car - installing my downpipe, unbenching the DME for BootMod3, springs, spacers, as well as service for spark plugs, tire service, and the rear diff oil on my G20 M340i (the latter isn t even a BMW serviceable item but I was at 60k miles and needed it done).Super friendly and never had any quality issues. Also the owners dogs are super cute and friendly if you wait .I will be returning to do the transmission oil soon and a full E85 Flex Fuel Kit install

I purchased a front splitter from Lightweight Performance through EAS, these guys were extremely helpful from walking me through payment, and providing an extremely high quality product. You can tell the quality is on par with oem and the fitment is perfect. Would highly recommend these guys!

I found these guys through BMW forums and then started following them on IG. I wanted to upgrade my tail lights from pre-lci to LCI. I had bought a wiring harness from ebay (stay away from ebay seller bmwparts74)that said it was made for my F36 and turns out I was sent the wrong part. I was bummed out and I thought I was going to have to reschedule and bring the right harness but these guys went above and beyond. They replaced the wrong plugs with the correct ones for my vehicle. Everything was done in about 2 hours, I m so pleased with how everything came out. I would 100% recommend this shop.

Recently purchased an Active Autowerke axle back exhaust for my M340i and wanted to search for a reputable place to put it on due to my previous history with other shops and I can confidently say I have found my new go to. Dropped my car and the exhaust off at about 12:15ish and got a call around 1:40 telling me my car was ready to be picked up. No surprise charges, no hassle, just a stress free drop off and pick up. Highly recommend coming here, worth the traffic I sat in.

Recently had some coilovers installed here on my one series. Kevin was very professional and knowledgeable. Was able to get scheduled the same week. Pricing was fair. Sal the technician was also very friendly and took the time to answer my questions. Definitely one of the best BMW shops in SoCal.

Took a chance and ordered some pieces for my E46 M3 from EAS, Downforce USA brand diffuser and side skirt extensions. Not only did the parts take 3 months to deliver, but the diffuser doesn't fit at all. EAS wouldn't offer any type of help after the fact and basically told me to deal with it. I can't do anything with this $800 over priced piece of plastic, since it won't fit my car let alone another e46 m3.

Had them install my supercharger on an E36 M3 - got it done no problem even though it wasn't a brand new kit. Fair pricing, clean install, and they got it done quickly! Longest part was just waiting for another shop to flash my ECU - which had absolutely nothing to do with EAS. Would not hesitate at all to bring any future euros to this ship for any type of work

So glad I came across European Auto Source! I had been wanting to upgrade my tail lights to blackline LCI since I got my BMW F33/430i convertible. Did my "homework" by researching different companies and requesting quotes in SoCal... I was surprised at how a lot of companies were trying to up-charge significantly on the product itself, then the installation, and some didn't even include the coding!I loved that European Auto Source made it so easy for me. They were essentially a one-stop-shop. I was able to purchase the genuine BMW LCI tail lights from them, and they installed and coded them on my vehicle same day (I had made an appointment via email with Kevin S. week prior as I drove from Palm Springs). It's only been a day since I've had the new tail lights on and I love them immensely! Aesthetically, the difference is day and night.Not at all related to their job well done, but they have two of the CUTEST frenchies in the office named Wesley and Frank! They made the 2 hour wait time pass by quickly and were so fun to hang out with. Wesley loves head scratches! As a mom of 2 pugs, I really enjoyed these adorable dogs' company while I was hanging out at EAS!I wish EAS was closer to me, but I'll definitely go back for any future BMW mods/needs that they're able to help me with, and recommend them to others!

Just a quick thanks to EAS for taking care of my '98 BMW M3!!! Brought in my car for a second glance after another shop told me that I had a blown head gasket. I was greeted promptly over the phone by Kevin who listened to my dilemma and all my concerns. He set me up for an appointment and was my point-of-contact throughout the period that my car was being looked over. He was very professional and answered all my questions and there were many. In the end, the crew at EAS determined that in fact it was not a bad head gasket, but a faulty fan relay and cooling sensor. What a huge relief as I was mentally preparing myself for a $4k+ bill. Thank you Kevin and all the guys at EAS for actually finding the actual cause of my issue and using your knowledge and experience to pinpoint the actual reason for my overheating Bimmer. I'll definitely be using your shop from now on and many referrals as well. Wishing you all the best!

These guys do amazing work! I had a Bavsound Stage 1 Speaker Kit installed in my BMW G30, and it didn t even look like anyone was in the car, not even a fingerprint! So clean and great work. I highly recommend. I would trust them more than the bmw dealership!

They accommodated me with open arms, a great quote, and provided detailed update emails with issues found while performing services in specific areas of the engine bay. The pictures and explanations as well as solutions were well thought out and they had the ability to replace everything in a timely manner. They completed all the work very quickly and called me as soon as it was done to help me set up a time to pick it up. The shop always has a lot going on and is very active on instagram. I am very surprised they were able to keep up with the lengthy service whilst also providing service to many other cars. Will Definitely be coming back to continue preventative maintenance!

Really nice staff - great expertise - easy to work with them via email or phone - and if you are in OC they are a great place to get installation work done. Had them install my new rims and tires and will have them do all new big brake kits shortly. Highly recommend!

have done MULTIPLE projects here. Clutch/suspension/engine on E46 and e92 M3's here. Very solid. Wrote this review only now because there was a mistake and they we're ACCOUNTABLE. That's HUGE. Came back the next day, they addressed it FIRST thing and had me out on the road to make my alignment appointment. Knowledge and Accountability. Enough said.

I bought a new to me BMW and wanted to get it checked out and make sure it was in good condition. I brought it to European Auto Source and had a great experience. Overall everything checked out and they also did some maintenance on it. I was very happy with their service and the best part is I never felt that I was being told I needed something that I didn't or that I was being ripped off. Totally trust this place and will be my go to for anything BMW related!

If you are thinking about taking your vehicle here for service, I would definitely reconsider. I brought my car to these specialists with the impression I can trust them with my car. After the service was performed it appeared that my oil drain plug had been swapped for an aftermarket one. Upon bringing it up to the service rep Kevin s attention he responded extremely rude and disrespectful. Talking over me as I tried explaining my concerns. Denying that the oil pan bolt was ever touched, even after I told him that there has not been another shop that has performed work on this vehicle. And never have I needed to purchase an aftermarket drain bolt for my oil pan and on top of that I have picture proof of how the car came into the shop that day. Kevin was the least helpful in this process and outright said There is nothing we can do. Never will I take my car even more so my M3 to such a shop. The lack of professionalism is just one of the many reasons I am writing this.

Great experience getting my X5M a software flash. Tom gave me a thorough walkthrough of the app in the car in the blazing heat. Explained the differences in engine mapping mods, allowing me to make a better decision to save serious $$$. Of course, that just means more mods and work I can get done there from now on! Shout out to Kevin for the great service, too.

These guys are top notch. They did some coding on my $100k BMW M3 CS and the experience and professionalism exceeded my expectations. If you are looking to have work done and have never been here you are going to love this place. In and out in a little over an hour. Everything went perfectly. Ask for Kevin and he'll take care of you.

Great shop to bring in your BMW. Came in to get my i3 coded and the service was excellent and fast. Although you do need an appointment you are in and out very quick. Great pricing and highly recommended for anyone looking to modify their i3.

If I could leave zero stars I would. The issue I had was that I brought my e92 n54 335i to their shop in order to replace the engine belt and fix the leak in the the oil filter housing gasket. Kevin said they fixed it so I drove it home. It's been mostly parked because I haven't gone anywhere since COVID. Less than a month after I got my car back, I noticed it was still leaking.I took it back to EAS and instead of actually fixing the problem they told me the leak was coming from a crack in the water pump. The water pump was recently replaced and only had 20,000 miles on it. They also said the leak was due to the O ring on the oil filter. They slapped me with another invoice to fix the problem that they never fixed in the first place.I took it to the BMW Dealership and had them diagnose it, they told me there was nothing wrong with the water pump and it was, in fact, the oil filter housing gasket that had not been fixed correctly.I spoke to the owner of the shop, Tom, who was unprofessional and rude. He told me there's nothing he can do. His shop was the one who made the mistake of giving us false information, giving extremely poor customer service, and wanting me to bring the car back in to charge me again after I had already experienced their incompetency. I wouldn't recommend this shop to anyone. Save your time and money.

I drove from Phoenix to Arizona with my 2013 BMW 335i F30 just for these guys to work on my car and they did not disappoint at all! They spent time not only installing a bootmod3 tune, H&R sport springs, and Macht Schnell wheel spacers, but actually walked me through and answered a lot of questions I had. The typical experience with a shop is they wouldn't really care to field all the questions I had, but I walked away a lot more comfortable and also gained some insight/knowledge. I strongly recommend the team and shop for all your performance questions and needs, big shout out to Kevin, Tom, Steve, and the rest of the EAS team, you guys did awesome!

Came here with my husband for software programming for his 2006 BMW 525i. Kevin took him in and there wasn't a long wait. The team was very professional and my hubby is a happy camper. We will continue to come here when we need help with out BMWs'.

EAS installed a pair of Recaro Sportster CS seats, that I bought from them, in my M3 yesterday and these guys were great! The seats are installed perfectly, they set me up with the right seat mounts for my car, and the customer service was excellent.After the install they were able to fit my old oem seats in the back of my car (I have fold down rear seats) and they carefully wrapped them in a blanket to protect my interior.Shout out to Wesley the French Bulldog!

Originally messaged Kevin regarding some suspension options. After a little back and forth I was able to place an order for my Ohlin coilovers and set up an appointment the following week.When I arrive they greeted me right away and took the car into their shop. Talked to the guys a little and watched top gear for a few hours.When all was said and done the car was set to the height I requested, and the install looks good to me. Car rides as I hoped.Many thanks all there,-MV

I have been a happy customer since 2011. The owners Tom and Steve are knowledgeable and helpful, great guys. Kevin and Robert in sales is excellent and response times are great. EAS provides OEM/dealership level work without the hassles, high prices, and pressure to conduct unnecessary work. They have been my go to shop for supplementary oil changes, parts installs, tires, battery replacement, coding, and a complex rod bearing replacement. They are honest - for my out-of-warranty vehicle, I ve inquired about many fluid (differential, power steering, DCT) and parts (suspension) replacements to be told they are completely unnecessary at my mileage. There s a peace of mind factor in having a shop of this caliber in SoCal.
