SSR Performance is hands down the best performance shop I have been to. I have taken my BMW M340i to them twice and will continue to do so, as well as take all my future cars there.Mark, Rod & the SSR team give an experience that is unlike any other. They give consistent updates about your car, a great breakdown of everything, extremely fair pricing and most importantly the quality of work is unmatched.I originally took my car in to have a Valvetronic Designs exhaust installed and the job was done absolutely perfect & quickly. I live about an hour and a half away and was going to have difficulty getting my stock exhaust back home. Mark & Rod went above and beyond to source delivery of my exhaust to my house.The second time around, I had some performance mods, side skirts & paddle shifters installed and they did an absolutely terrific job.While my car was there the second time, I also asked them to check out my carbon fiber rear diffuser as a local shop in my town originally installed it and they did not do a proper job. The shop local to me blamed it on the fitment of the diffuser itself. When i told Mark this, he said they should have taken the bumper off to have it installed properly. The SSR team did just that and the fitment of my diffuser is now perfect. Mark and the team went above and beyond to make sure my experience was terrific and have my car look & perform great.Thank you to Mark, Rod & the whole SSR team!Services: Exhaust, General repairs & maintenance, Body & Trim, Auto exhaust system replacement

Seeing this shops social media presence and the people they sponsor had deceived me in the beginning. I ve had more bad experiences with this shop than good. I have put off writing a review for a long time but I don t wish to anymore. One of the main issues I encountered was after SSR installed my rain light diffuser. Shortly after install, I had a friend call me after they saw me on the road with a tail light out. Due to their shotty wiring job, my rain light and right tail light were out until I could get rescheduled. Second, after having my stock exhaust re installed after I got a ticket, they left the remus exhaust hangers on with the stock exhaust which made it rattle like crazy after a couple days. I waited in the waiting room for approx 3-4 hours until they brought the car out with exhaust fixed 3-4 hours for a small job that should have been made a priority. Now to last week. I was out at the track and mid session I hear a BOOM. Was stuck in limp mode, couldn t figure out what was going on since I had SSR upgraded chargepipes, so it couldn t have been those I thought. I found out today, the SSR UPGRADED charge pipes had blown off on the bottom side. Ruined my track day and I was stuck in limp mode not knowing what was wrong until I had another shop diagnose what happened. SSR recommended me their charge pipes because of how often the stock ones pop, yet theirs did the exact same thing!! I have said and always said, you can tell they take better care of cars that are owned by friends of the shop and super cars, not as much M cars and others in the same realm.Services: Exhaust, Electrical, Body & Trim, Auto exhaust system replacement

This is THE SHOP. I have been to majority of the shops in OC/LA area and I have never left there fully satisfied. It s always some excuse everytime you go pick up your car. SSR Performance however is far from that. They offered me the best service at the most competitive prices. They run a very professional operation. Communication is the biggest thing with them and they will keep you in the loop about everything. You re never gonna walk in this place expecting the unexpected. If you love your car, and need only the best people working on it, SSR Performance is the only shop for you.

I walked in to get some information on future plans, and got a whole lot more. I didn't spend a dime, but was treated like I did. I even got a tour of the shop. Mark was excellent, as I'm sure everyone else is here. I come from an automotive background, and have seen a lot. This place is impressive. I will definitely be back.

Can't say enough about this place. Not only did they do excellent work on my BMW which effectively made my M550 nearly as fast as an M5 for just a couple grand, but specifically the GM Mark has been exceptional throughout the process. He has graciously answered my questions promptly and elaborately every single time. They were even recommended to me by my BMW dealer, which again proves how awesome they are. Highly recommend to come here when you want quality work at a reasonable price! I certainly will be back, as well

The crew over at SSR is awesome. I honestly don t know why anyone would take their car to a dealership to get work done. The services are easy to schedule, most of the time it takes place over text message, with clear, concise quotes before you commit to anything. The prices are also completely reasonable and transparent. They are very knowledgeable about all German cars, but if you own an M series BMW and need service or any modifications done - this is the spot. They take care of both my X4M40i and my 440i GC and handle both with kid-gloves.

SSR Performance is by far the BEST auto repair and performance shop I've been too. �They went above and beyond to make sure the entire experience was smooth and seamless as possible. My car was damaged in a accident with left side completely bent in and damaged in addition to the driver side rim and wheel. When I got it back it was brand new! They made the repair process from drop off to pickup so easy and seamless compared to others that will take your car in then make excuses about repair process. All the people there are super passionate about what they do! Super professional and friendly! I wanted to specifically thank Shah the owner for making it such a pleasant experience. I will be a lifelong customer! If you are in Orange County or anywhere in Southern California, I would definitely take your car there for your auto repair or performance modification needs!

I'm thrilled to share my amazing experience with SSR Performance! These guys are hands down the best in the business. My 2018 BMW M4 got the royal treatment not once but twice, and I wouldn't dream of taking my future cars anywhere else.Mark, Rod, and the entire SSR team know how to make you feel like a VIP. From the get-go, they kept me in the loop with consistent updates about my car and walked me through every modification they were planning. Plus, their pricing is more than fair, and the quality of their work is truly unmatched.The first time I rolled into SSR Performance, it was to get a killer Fi exhaust installed on my M4. And let me tell you, it was a game-changer! They worked their magic, just like in the previous reviews, and the job was done perfectly and in record time. The moment I fired up my car and heard that beastly roar, I knew I had made the right choice.Here's the icing on the cake. Living an hour and a half away, I was worried about how I'd manage to get my stock exhaust back home. But guess what? Mark and Rod, being the stars they are, arranged for the delivery of my stock exhaust right to my doorstep. These guys go above and beyond to make their customers happy!My second visit to SSR Performance was equally incredible. I decided to treat my M4 to some extra upgrades, including performance mods, sleek side skirts, and paddle shifters. And boy, oh boy, did they work their magic again! My M4 now handles like a dream and looks like it's straight out of a car enthusiast's fantasy.But here's where SSR Performance proved themselves as true experts. Just like the previous review, I asked them to check out my carbon fiber rear diffuser, which was previously installed by a local shop. Those guys didn't do a proper job, and I was frustrated. But Mark assured me they'd fix it, and they sure did. Taking the bumper off and installing it right, the fitment is now perfect. I can't thank them enough for going the extra mile to make sure my M4 looks and performs at its best.Kudos to Mark, Rod, and the whole SSR team! They turned my car into a beast with that Fi exhaust and those awesome upgrades. My 2018 BMW M4 has never been happier, and I owe it all to SSR Performance. If you want top-notch service, unmatched expertise, and an experience like no other, look no further. SSR Performance is the real deal, and they've won a customer for life!

I was referred to SSR by a friend after receiving damage on my front bumper and headlight from flying road debris. I was already familiar with the company s great reputation of doing quality work so I knew what to expect if I worked with them. Richard was assigned to me and handled my case like a true professional, he absolutely went above and beyond for me in every category. He dealt with the insurance companies to make sure nothing comes out of my pocket and for them to cover additional things without raising my insurance. He sent me daily updates about what was being done to my vehicle along with videos with detailed descriptions on how they were doing it. On top of the top tier customer service and care provided they absolutely came through on the body work of my car as it looked brand new and was done by the deadline he promised. Richard and SSR have earned my business for life and I will be referring all my friends and family to work with him as I was just amazed by the whole process. If you want to work with true professionals that value their customers, call SSR Performance. Whatever SSR pays Richard is not enough and needs to be more.

Was looking for a shop to have the lowering springs installed while awaiting the arrival of my Tesla model 3 performance. Reached out and Mark got back to me asap. He was helpful and patient with my indecisiveness. After several weeks I decided to have the lower springs installed with SSR and I couldn t be happier! Turn around time was spot on had it back to me within the day and their communication is on point! Sits exactly where I want it to sit, rides great and looks amazing! Great job and thanks Mark Services: Steering & suspension replacement, Wheel alignment

Took my M5 here for some routine maintenance items, and they treated me like I was doing a twin turbo huracan build, (meaning excellent, lest there be any confusion). Everyone there was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, they are a family and when you go to SSR for the first time or the 50th time they show you that same love. Cars like these take special care to keep running at optimal performance and if you have any issues you can be rest assured they will work diligently to get you back to 100% as if it were their own. They also have a great waiting area if you have to drive from a distance like I did, they gave my dog her own water bowl and even shared their pizza with me.

I really was pleased with all the work SSR did. I had taken my car to another place after it was involved in an accident and i had to literally pull it out from where it was and had it towed over to SSR. Very professional and always informant to all the status it needed. The Guy who help me was "Rod" and he was on top of everything including insurance. Rod always texted me back and let me know in detail everything that needed to be done. I am pleased with the care they did to my M5 BMW. THANK YOU ROD AND STAFF.

The crew at SSR was able to quickly diagnose and fix a sensor issue on my BMW that had baffled several other mechanic shops. Not only are they super knowledgeable, but also have the best customer service I've ever experienced at a mechanic. Overall great shop!

Talked to Shah on the phone about suspension for my 2018 BMW M3. He was very professional and straightforward. He gave me excellent pricing and beat the other prices I've gotten by other shops in the area. He ordered H&R h.a.s. and had them in a few days later. Shah scheduled me for install the next a couple days later and I was blown away at the quality of work and speedy install. The car looks amazing thanks to Shah and the SSR team. Would definitely recommend coming here for all your automotive needs. They work on just about anything. From BMW to high end Ferrari's. Thanks SSR Performance!

My 2009 335i coupe has almost reached 100k miles and since it is being fitted with a few fine performance upgrades, it was time to clear its airways. The plaque of DI engines, carbon buildup, needed to be addressed. I love my car and I'm very selective in deciding who to trust with working on it. Stealer was a no-go, not only due to an astronomical price tag of $800, but also since quite often the personnel just does not care and would rarely step outside the bulletin instructions. Solution--independent, boutique specialty shops like SSR Performance, who have set their focus on fine work, rather than mass-oriented auto services like oil change and brake pads. While they could gladly provide such basic services for their customers, they focus on fine tuning your vehicle, hence for them it is quality before quantity. That I value more than anything. In addition, their knowledge is beyond that of a car mechanic, since they have a background in engineering, and they also work on development and manufacturing of performance parts and components. After a couple of hours of browsing the Internet at the lounge area of the shop, my car was ready with shiny clean valves, smoother idle, and undeniably improved torque curve with approximately 10% more low- and mid-range torque. I doubt that max. power or max. torque values have significantly changed, but the curve is definitely more enjoyable. Being very satisfied with their work and attention to detail, I would consider SSR Performance for all fine tuning a performance car may need, be it track or street use.

Shah from SSR Performance slid in my DMs about power upgrades on sale for my car. He walked me through the whole process and even showed me the high quality pipes that they put on my car.First of all, they had unmatchable prices. Trust me I have talked to dozens of shops about quotes. Very professional guys at SSR, with amazing customer service. They had the stage 2 tune, gloss black exhaust tips, and downpipes installed in no time.Highly recommend taking your car to SSR Performance due to their professionalism and trustworthy service.

Recently had a big job done here for my f30 328i. My transmission and flywheel were completely blown out by the previous owner. Car was purchased through Carmax .It was a big bummer having to fork over the money to get this work done, but I wouldn t have wanted to give it to any other shop. SSR actually had pretty reasonable rates for being a well known shop.Rod and Shah were very good at communicating and the work was done quickly. I ll definitely be coming back for other maintenance and work.Hopefully nothing as big as the clutch and flywheel though, but I was very happy with my experience here.I would definitely recommend them, especially if you own a BMW.

Amazing service once again! Couldn't be happier with the team at SSR Performance. They spent an hour with my car going over it to diagnose issues and showed me everything they found, provided a competitive quote (better than a nearby shop) that included more work that they had diagnosed. Had turbos, control arms, engine mounts and more replaced - car runs like new and was complete ahead of schedule! They have a knowledgeable and professional team, clean facility and treat my older (and somewhat weathered) car with the same respect and care as the new "M" cars and exotics that frequent the shop.Thanks again SSR, the only place I trust with my car.

The worst place to ever go they scratched my car and didn't own up to it. They gave me crazy prices because they knew I was jewish and gave me the worst service. Don't go here.

This place will not disappoint. I am so happy and satisfied with the my whole experience from beginning to end. I had been turned down by other places to have my BMW I3 lowered ... they would not touch it... until I met Shah who told me right away that he would take care of me; and that s exactly what he did. I m so happy with job he did. I wouldn t go anywhere where else. I m bringing my wife s BMW next week and we can t wait to see the results. I can t forget to mention the excellent customer service I received as well. Everyone is so nice and friendly and they make you feel so comfortable. It s definitely the best professional place to get your car done. Thank you so much! We ll see you next week again!! Max

I contacted a few shops to see what kind of pricing I could find for a chrome delete and powder coated wheels on my BMW 320i.I called SSR Performance and Zayn was super helpful over the phone and gave me a ball park estimate by explained to me that he wanted me to bring my car in to give me an accurate final price. I went in, got a great price, and left my car for the next 2 days. SSR Performance completed all the work in two days as promised.The wheels were powder coated gloss black and cane out looking BRAND NEW. Even the little curb rash that I had on my wheels was completely gone. I LOVE the new blacked out look on my BMW now. I ll definitely be recommending this place to all of my friends and family for any aftermarket needs.

I was having difficulty with parts that I ordered from a third party website and Nick at SSR was super helpful and took care of it for me. They held the parts for me to pick up as well since I was already waiting quite a while for them from the other seller. I showed up thinking it was a parts warehouse but Nick was kind enough to offer me a tour of the place and I will definitely be making them my shop for my 135i build! They are the real deal! They are friendly and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.
