KB is the works. I've been bringing them my BMW's for 12+ years, had everything from oil changes to engine rebuild-swaps and they're legit the most professional, helpful, reasonable shop in business. Tim, Vladi, Mike, Kip, the whole crew- They've done so much fine work & been so cool, I recommend their business to anyone & everyone. Do yourself a favor, get your car serviced here.

Excellent Communication. I took my Mercedes e350 in for service and Tim was great at keeping me posted along the way. Nice to have to proactive follow-up and dialog so I could plan my day on the pick-up. They replaced the motor & transmission mounts and the car is back to being super smooth! Thanks Guys, great work.

Our GLK was making a squealing noise and lit off the Check Engine Light. KB took the car without appointment and made the repairs in a timely fashion. They even offered me a shop loaner car during the repairs.

These folks are the only reason that I still own a Sprinter van. The service I've received has been top-notch, they've been responsive when I needed emergency repairs, the part prices are not overblown and everyone I've talked with has been cheerful and helpful. They've earned my highest recommendation.

The Service Manager, "Tim", provided excellent customer service and was very responsive to questions pertaining to my vehicle repairs.I believe all their mechanic personnel are equally great. I was particularly impressed with the BMW knowledge of "Vlad" who I learned had been employed with BMW in Germany. You can't beat that level of professionalism. All at a reasonable labor rate. Definitely will use KB Motorsports for all my BMW needs.RJCServices: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Air conditioning

I have been to KB Motor Sports twice now for work done on my truck. I can honestly say they have the best customer service, overall service and genuine care for any car they are working on. Michael at the shop helped me install lighting and new wiring for my truck. He did a fantastic job and will bring every future upgrade or repair to the shop. They are top tier and would recommend them to anyone.Services: Electrical, Body & Trim

KB is a family place. You get honest assessments and pricing, knowledgable input and guidance and timely repairs. Great service. Our van is 12 years old and has almost 130k miles on it so we're more frequent customers lately, but always happy with their work.Services: Battery, Oil changeServices: Battery, Oil change

I do much of my own maintenance, but there are times when I need expert help. Specifically I want a mechanic that understands how to avoid future expenses by doing work today. I also want a mechanic that is not uncomfortable that some of the work, I prefer to do myself. That is exactly what I found at KB Motorsports. They know my car, give me free advice on how to maintain and provided a very technical repair at a reasonable cost - same day. I am a happy new customer.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Electrical

Started off fine, had the car towed there and guy said he would look at it the following day. Next day guy calls back wanting roughly $2600 for fuel pump and timing belt uh no. We declined his services. So he said it was $150 for the diagnostic. Ok whatever. I call to pay over the phone so when the tow truck gets there he can release the vehicle and all of a sudden it s $190 because he put $40 of gas in it to TEST DRIVE!!! the thing barely goes a mile before over heating, $40!!!! And it s a BMW so the computer shuts it off anyways. I m so mad. Wouldn t that be included in the service like as a courtesy .$10 of gas. Cmon man. Plus I m already giving u $150 just to look at the thing. That s crazy. I m sorry but is this really how u do business?Service: Auto engine diagnostic

KB Motorsports was the BEST car repair experience I have had in a long time. Very knowledgeable, fair and friendly guys! Had me in and out in under 30 minutes, whereby my dealership quoted at least 2-3 days and they saved me about $400. Wish I would have been working with KB Motorsports a long time ago--Best of the Best!

I've talked to Scott and Kip and both have been extremely helpful. Kip, the owner, along with his staff did amazing job with the short amount of time. They did a ton of work for me at a good price. I live in Mississippi and my Dad had to fly down to pick up this car for me. The car went from hardly running properly to working condition. They were very understanding of my situation and genuinely cared about my Dad making the 600+ mile drive north safely. I HIGHLY recommend them. I seriously couldn't thank them enough!

Had a great experience at KB Motorsports. We have a Mini that needed repairs and Tim was very thorough explaining the diagnostic process beforehand. The tech did computer scans and backed everything up with a mechanical diagnosis. They sent pictures of everything so I could approve the repair prior and made a couple of recommendations based on experience with other Mini repairs. After the repair they did a proper test drive to confirm the repair. When I picked the car up they showed me all the replaced items (just like the photos) and went over the Repair Order in detail. Don't bother with a Mini dealer, these guys are experts and way more reasonably priced!

I've been taking my '76 2002a to KB Motorsports for many years now. This is the best BMW shop in North County as far as I'm concerned. Kip and his staff are knowledgeable, friendly, honest and quick. When we purchased our new Kia Optima, they were nice enough to begin servicing that as well. You really can't go wrong here. I highly recommend them!

We've been going to KB Motorsports and having the guys work their magic for several years on several of my wife's BMWs. There is no better place, or more honest bunch of guys in San Diego County. They're even willing to work on my Toyota!Thanks Vladimir and the gang for all of the excellent work!Paul & LindaService: Oil changeService: Oil change

Tim, Vlad and Kip whom helped me out were beyond fantastic. Very professional, knowledgeable and honest. They took the time and went over every detail of the van I got inspected for a Pre Purchase Inspection I scheduled the day before. Not only did they address critical repairs but were honest about the not so urgent repairs to the Sprinter I took them. They know their stuff and wont try and scare you into thinking you need more than necessary. Thank you very much KB, hope to see you in the future and hopefully in a Sprinter!

Kip, Vladimir, Tim and the rest of the guys at KB Motorsports are extremely experienced and highly trained and I highly recommend you bring your vehicle to them for any problems you may be having. If they can't fix it, it most likely can't be fixed. They are also very good about getting work done promptly, usually within 24 hrs of your dropping it off. And, once it's fixed by KB, it stays fixed. If not, they are happy to check your car out and if they missed something or the parts they installed failed to perform as expected, they are happy to make it right.

I have been going to KB Motorsports for over 20 years. I trust no other mechanic like I trust Kip and his crew. He is the one I recommend to my relatives or clients. Service is great. If you want someone to fix your car, be honest and fair than there is no one else other than KB Motorsports.

Check engine light was for mass airflow sensors. Tech cleaned the sensors and replaced dirty air filters that were incorrectly installed at some time in the past at another facility. Also replaced a couple of worn machine screws which were no longer holding the cover in place. Thank you!Service: Auto engine diagnosticService: Auto engine diagnostic
