I needed the roof hinges on my 335i convertible repaired and I took it to two dealers and one other foreign car repair place. All the estimates was nearly $3000. I had one other place to check and it was Motorsports of Lexington and I figured I was wasting my time, but I went anyway.When they gave me an estimate of $687.00 I was extremely leary and he explained everything they would do to fix it. It took a few weeks to get in and I still almost didn't take it because I was apprehensive about the low price, but I took it. It took them only one day to fix it and made my apprehension even worse when they called and said it was ready.I live out of down and drove up the next day to see what was actually done and see if the price had changed. When I got there, I went to the vehicle and everything looked good. I got in and retracted the roof and it worked perfectly. I couldn't believe it! I went in and paid and told him I would like to speak to the mechanic and he asked if anything was wrong and I said, "No! Everything works perfectly. How much do I owe you and he said the total is $687.00" I was pleasantly surprised and I went back and Corey the mechanic wasn't there at the moment, but I told the other guys to tell him I wanted to thank him personally for fixing my car at the price they me. They said they would.My family owns four foreign cars and I told him that if something ever happens again, I will bring them here.I am still dismayed at the price and the quality of work done. If anyone reading this long review has an issue with their car, I wholeheartedly recommend these folks.

We have taken our BMW here for 15 years and have always been pleased with the service and price. The service team here has been trust worthy and reasonable.

excellent service, great quality of work and the customer service is very good, I had a leak in the engine of my 550i and for half the price I would have to pay in the deelar they did it equally or better

Don't trust this place. I took my mini Cooper in to have it worked on. They replaced the junction box, fuel pump, cam shaft position sensor, and the spark plugs. This cost me $2100. I drove it home and all kinds of warning lights came on. I called Mike and he said to bring it in the next day to get looked at. My wife started it the next morning and drove it to the gas station next to her work 1 mile down the road from my house... It died pulling up to the pump and then burst into flames. I've contacted the owner and he doesn't seem to want to own up and says I can't prove it. I'm out $2100 I spent at Motorsports and I'm also out $2700 I still owed on the car. They can say it's not their fault all they want but my car didn't burst into flames before I dropped it off with them, and I drove it for a year before they worked on it... This review should tell you alot about this place. The owner won't own upEDIT: a simple Google search will show you their was one recall on my model mini ( a tire and rim recall) all water pump recalls were for 2007-2009. This is a plain and simple lie. Also, I came into the shop one week after this incident and asked if you wanted to go look at the car and told you the exact location. You denied. You simply told me "how bad of a situation this is for ME" the third time I invited you to look at my car, you went to my insurance companies salvage yard and looked at it. Yes my insurance company paid me the blue book value of the car. I wasn't trying to get the entire value of the car from you, just the $2100 I spent with you guys plus what I still owed on the car that my insurance didn't cover. I'm out $4,800 because your shop wouldn't own up.

I had always used Motorsports in the past, but sent my vehicle to local dealership as I knew the battery was dead and was still under 2 year factory warranty. Dealership told me alternator needed replaced for over 1900$ and did not even check the battery. So I had it towed to Motorsports where I knew I could count on thorough, systematic diagnostics and HONESTY. Mike took my 335i in, tested and recharged the battery and it was working at 100% and absolutely did NOT need a new alternator. He also checked the other items the dealer recommended and reassured me that my Bimmer was just fine. I can't thank them enough for their honesty and business ethics. Thank you!Service: Vehicle Inspection

This review is long over due... Motorsports of Lexington has always delivered. From maintenance to mods, I have never doubted the quality of work or labor cost from Curt and his team. If you have a project or just need repairs, this is the place! Thanks guys!

Mike did an excellent job communicating and the technicians do top-notch work, also do a great job recommending normal wear-and-tear-products that will be needed in the future. The car has been running great in the 2 weeks since getting it back from the shop. I will definitely be working with them in the future.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine tuningServices: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine tuning

Other than here at Motorsports of Lexington you will get waxed on parts and labor. Kurt takes care of you like family. He is always fair on pricing as well as letting you know how your car is. I've never had a negative experience. You can tell these guy's love their job and work above and beyond what's expected. Foreign vehicles are tricky to you and I but to them it's a passionate career. Since I've met Kurt and his crew, I won't take my 328i BMW anywhere else ever again.

I'm very glad I found Motorsports of Lexington to fix the oil leak on my Audi A4. I live in a rural part of the state where there's no local qualified Audi mechanics, and had no idea who I could trust to do the work and not take advantage or try to sell me repairs I didn't need.The folks at Motorsports of Lexington are old-school professionals in all the best ways. You see the phrase "dedicated to service and excellence" tossed around, but these guys really demonstrate that philosophy. The shop is clean, neat and obviously well-managed. Whenever I called, either the service manager or owner answered the phone themselves - not a receptionist. Both Mike and Curt were very friendly and professional. And Curt was very patient with my endless questions upon pickup. I'll be back for all my maintenance from now on.

Curt and Shane along with the entire crew are absolute experts in their work and service to the customer. I have had my BMW serviced there on several occasions and always had excellent work, quick service at a very fair price. Once I needed a new transmission, the local BMW dealership wanted too much money to put in a used transmission with 70k miles...crazy. Curt recommended a rebuilt from a group who warranted it for 3 years and unlimited miles. AWESOME WORK!! ALWAYS. Now I have my second BMW and it will always go to MOTORSPORTS OF LEXINGTON...they are very friendly and dependable and are true automotive enthusiast, and that is why they are the best.

I am a lifelong BMW owner and I am constantly amazed at their level of service and professionalism. Currently living in Louisville had the local dealership tell me I needed to have $1500 worth of work done on a vehicle that had shown no issues. Brought my 435 to Motorsports of Lex for a second opinion and not only did they say there wasn't a problem after thoroughly checking it out they didn't want any payment. These guys are top notch technically but your integrity is off the chart and much appreciated! Thank you for years of support and being you!

Wow! Kurt is awesome. My first BMW service with them and they explained fully what the plan was to resolve my issue. They even took photos of the progress and text to me. I know its my first experience, but I truly believe these guys are completely honest. I highly recommend. Our BMW will only go to these guys in the future. Can't rate high enough!

This review is long overdue. I brought my A3 to these guys for a transmission issue. They replaced it for less than what I was quoted at a different shop. Had an issue with the used one they put in. They promptly replaced it. Had another issue and they discovered something else that hadn t found before and replaced it no questions asked. I couldn t have been happier or more proud of these guys. Then it happened again. Same problem. Called Curt. No questions asked told me they are taking care of it. Hopefully 3rd times a charm as I don t want to take shop time up but these guys go above and beyond to cater to each customer. I will NOT take my Audi anywhere else. Thanks gentlemen for the awesome service and making me feel at home.Services: Transmission, Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Oil change

Though I had just bought the car in New Hampshire, I used Motorsports of Lexington for a pre-purchase inspection of a 2006 M3 to establish a maintenance baseline. They were very thorough and gave me all theinformation that I was looking for. The only thing not working was the central lock switch which will be $56 and they recommended I wait for the next oil change. They are very professional and I felt like I was dealing with trusted friends.

Motorsports of Lexington is the only place I would ever trust my cars with.Curt, Shayne, Mike, Cory and the rest of the crew do fantastic work and never cease to impress. Their combined knowledge and experience help cement them as the #1 shop for servicing your BMW, Audi, Volvo, VW or Mini.They have put countless hours into my BMW M3 and have helped bring my Volvo 240 back to life, I have complete faith in them for solving any problem I may have.

Customer service at its finest! I did not use their services, but rather was in a crash out front the shop. The staff was so kind and helpful, bringing me water and making sure I was okay and taken care of, something they did not have to do. They allowed me to wait inside while a tow truck came and the owner even gave me a ride home. Truly good people are running this place!

I have been using Motorsports for many years and would not go anywhere else. My family currently has 10 BMWs of all ages and we have been totally satisfied with the workmanship and integrity of the owner and all of the people who work there (Curt, Shayne, Mike, Cory and everybody else.)They have proven themselves to be trustworthy and very knowledgeable about European cars.Since I have so many cars, I am there a lot. I have seen Curt and his employees go to great lengths to take care of their customers. I have seen them be able to repair something that others shops could not. I have seen them repair cars for much cheaper than quoted from other shops. Every customer always leaves smiling and thanking them for their work, including me!

I have 2 older BMWs and wouldn't trust them with anyone else in town. They do great work at reasonable prices. Curt, Shane and the rest of the crew there are all friendly and knowledgeable. Would give them more stars if the app would let me.

I've had my 2003 BMW 540i M Sport serviced here since I bought it in 2007, and they have always done a great job on repairs with it. Now, I drive a 2016 BMW 550i M Sport. When the CPO Warranty expires on it, I will take it here to be serviced because this is the only shop in the city I trust to work on my cars. Curt and Shayne and the rest of their staff are honest, knowledgeable, and hard working people. They operate a first class business here.

Update 4/18/17 - I hit a pot hole and bent something on my 2011 BMW. My husband wanted to give Don Jacobs another chance and they came back with an estimate which we felt was too high. He took it to Motorsports and they fixed it for $500 less! These guys are great! DON'T go anywhere else! I will NEVER take my BMW to anyone else again!! Original post: Honest, courteous, reasonably priced, and friendly service. I've had my BMW to two other shops in Lexington for a rattle in the front end and they were both unable to find/fix the problem. Motorsports isolated the rattle and fixed it. I can't recommend them highly enough

I took my MINI in today because of a rough idle and they checked it all out, noting that it was fine overall and just needed an oil change. They didn't do more than was needed or even recommend it until it is due, which is appreciated. Plus, it was in and out in no time. Excellent service at a fair price! I'm glad I don't have to drive far to get the service my car needs.

The highest quality shop for BMW, and various Euro Imports in Lexington. If integrity, quality mechanics and reasonable prices is what you're looking for; Motorsports is the go to shop in Lexington. They've serviced my e46 BMW 323i as well as an Audi A4 that I previously owned, and I can attest to the quality of the work they've provided for me those vehicles. I've always been beyond pleased with the work they've done and would recommend this shop to any and all.

My BMW broke down here in Lexington, about 3 hours from where I live. They were closed but I left my car overnight and they called me first thing the next morning. They were very understanding of my distance from them and handled everything well. Identified the problem and repaired my car quickly. Would recommend them to anyone with a BMW and if I didn't live so far away I would return for service.

This is the only place to take your BMW for service in Lexington! I found Motorsport when my favorite mechanic Don Beam went to work there in 1990.The Motorsport family is MY FAMILY. I m glad to feel a part of. I was single for a long time and having someone I could trust with my car was so important to me.They are the Best. Can t say enough good about this business.Go there, and you ll see what I m talking about!!

After receiving a quote on a repair from Don Jacobs, for $2,700 in parts and labor, I decided to take my car to Motorsports of Lexington. They fixed the problem for only $350. They were great to work with and kept me informed as they worked through the issue. 5 stars!

Always a good experience and perfect work on my BMW ! Never any issues at all. Always polite! I've been using them for years. Wouldn't go anywhere else! They save you tons of money compared to the dealership and they are the best BMW mechanics in Lexington!Don't learn the hard way, like me, that you should only take your BMW to someone that specializes in BMW! I made the mistake of letting someone else do my brakes located in downtown Lexington due to a friend's recommendation. The mechanic there botched up the job. Unless a shop specializes in BMW... do NOT take your BMW there! The mechanic shop specialized in Japanese cars, but said they had tons of experience on BMWs also. They ensured me they were putting original BMW parts on my car also - but after many issues and troubles, finally found out the truth that they put cheap third party items on my car, which didn't work (I paid the same price as I would have paid elsewhere with a real BMW mechanic with real BMW parts). Anyway - lesson learned. Never take your BMW to anywhere but Motorsports! In the long run, it will save you money! Having to have a job completely redone is expensive and annoying - and could have been avoided if I wouldn't have used that idiotic mechanic shop downtown. Don't believe a shop when they tell you they are putting original BMW parts on your car unless they are a BMW shop (unless you just enjoy spending lots of money having things redone)!!! : )

Great service! Was my first maintenance outside warranty and was accommodated for a oil change without a appointment. Also when I left my car, Kurt was gracious enough to drop me to work and would not take money for the ride. Quick, professional n courteous. Would highly recommend!

I brought my 07 Volvo hear when my check engine light came on and I was losing coolant. They worked it into the shop in a timely fashion and were able to get me back on the road within a week. The only downside was I needed a new oxygen sensor and they replaced the wrong sensor. Although they did fix their mistake (and I only had to pay the difference in parts) it was an inconvenience to have to bring my car back.All that aside I'll be bringing my car back next time I need work done.

Great service with knowledgeable mechanics. I've trusted Motorsports for over 30 years and have always been comfortable with their experience and care for my BMWs.
