Larry's BMW Repair Service in
Malibu Vista (CA)

If you have a BMW in the San Diego area, bring it here. Love this shop and will recommend it to anyone who wants peace of mind when going to a mechanic. These guys are the best and would never try to pull a quick one on you. I’ve brought my 03 525i here too many times, but the service has always been outstanding!

I had water pump and coolant repairs done here previously, and the work was excellent at a cost appreciably lower than the dealership. Shortly thereafter, I brought my BMW in thinking I needed brakes and to check on a noise. Cody explained they inspected everything thoroughly, and that my brakes were still good. Also, while they heard the noise, found nothing wrong or that needed attention. They didn’t charge me a dime for their time and were completely honest. Rare to find a shop with such integrity. I’ll definitely be coming back when I need future work. Highly recommend!!!

Met with Mike who’s diagnosed my BMW. Most honest people I’ve ever dealt with. Extremely knowledgeable and kind- I can’t recommend Larry’s BMW enough. 10/10 recommend and will for sure always be going to them.

Highest praise for Larry’s. Cody was a professional and earned my respect and trust. Will be going here from now on.

So happy to have found this place. They saved me over $8,000 the dealership wanted for something that didn’t need to be done. They also found a leak that needed repaired that the dealership failed to identify. I am a client for life and would recommend them to any BMW owner!

I've been using Larry's BMW Repair Service for almost a year now for our BMW. From the moment I called the first time, Cody was very flexible in terms of scheduling and exceptionally welcoming. I first used Larry's BMW Repair Service earlier this year to evaluate the car before I purchased it from a private party. Cody and Michael did an honest and very thorough assessment of the vehicle. I was so impressed by their honesty, patience, and overall ethical approach to their trade that I decided right then and there this would be the place to do any and all work on the car when needed. We ended up purchasing the car and fixing some minor repairs at Larry's BMW Repair Service. Both Cody and Michael are true experts at their craft. I've also called and visited the shop to ask some oftentimes basic questions, and both Cody and Michael have always provided solid guidance. I strongly recommend Larry's BMW Repair Service for your BMW needs!

Larry's BMW Repair Service is hands down the best auto repair shop I've ever dealt with. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by their easygoing professionalism and expertise. I had been experiencing some issues with my BMW, and after getting quotes from several other shops in North County San Diego, I was starting to feel discouraged by the high costs. That all changed when I found Larry's. Not only were their rates significantly lower than the competition, but the quality of service was exceptional. The team at Larry's quickly diagnosed that I had a broken valve and, to my surprise, they also discovered that the repair was still covered under my warranty. They could have easily charged me for the repair and I would have never known, but instead, they were honest and upfront, advising me to take my car to the BMW dealership for a free fix. This level of integrity is hard to find these days, especially in the auto repair industry. Thanks to Larry's, I avoided a costly repair and had peace of mind knowing that my car was in great hands. They went above and beyond in terms of customer service, ensuring that I was fully informed and satisfied every step of the way. If you're in need of BMW repairs, look no further—Larry's BMW Repair Service is the best in the business, with unbeatable rates and a team you can truly trust. I'll definitely be returning for any future maintenance or repairs!

I needed to get my car checked before my trip that got booked suddenly so I tried Larrys from my friends recommendation. And man I’m happy with it. I definitely recommend

Had issues with the A/C in my Beemer. Friends told me, "Hey, I know a guy! Anyway, I took it to Larry's. A few hours later, they called and said it was just a fuse, which they replaced. They could've told me a new core, compressor, evaporator, etc. needed replacing, and charged me bank. Instead, they were honest. I can absolutely attest to their intregrity. And now I can tell my buddies that I too "know a guy."

Would not trust my BMW in the hands of any other mechanics! These guys are passionate and love what they do. Thank you Cody and crew for providing affordable and stellar quality service.

The guys at Larry's BMW have integrity and won't try and sell you on repairs not needed. It's just too bad they work on BMW only.

these guys were great. prompt, honest, kind and reasonably priced. very quick turnaround (dropped off at 8 am and had it back by 3 pm)! i've had my bmw for 13 years at this point and i've always been loyal to bmw dealership service prior, but they've recently gotten sloppy in missing things and bordering on grossly exploitative pricing. i found larry's bmw on google, hoped the good reviews were for real, and took the plunge. incredibly happy that i did and i'll be coming here for my future repairs. thanks!

Absolutely amazing people! Absolutely amazing place! I was so desperate to get my BMW 335i repaired because the BMW service quoted me an outrageous price. Not only Michael and Cody fixed my car, they also referred me to a place that sells used part for a reasonable price. I'm so pleased. Service: top notch, communication: top notch. Trust top notch. Professionalism: top notch and price of service: very reasonable. Very grateful!!!

Very good shop took my e36 with a coolant problem Larry took a look at it and fixed the issue very professional business I recommend any BMW owner Excellent service.

First time coming here after finding them on a Google search. Their reviews looked promising so I gave them a call. I had a leak coming from the oil filter housing seal and needed it looked at asap. Big thanks to Cody for getting my '13 328i F30 into their Friday schedule. Got it back the same day and feel really satisfied with the work and their professionalism. Cody answered all my questions and gave me a few numbers to look at for future maintenance on my car. I can guarantee I'll be back for any work my F30 may need in the future.

Very down to earth mechanics that you can trust. They give a thorough rundown of your car and walk you through the process so you know what they are doing. I think I found my new mechanics from now on for my BMW 328i 2009.

Larry’s is the best! I’ve been meaning to write this review for a few months. His sons fixed both my E46 and my Lexus. They did a fantastic job with excellent service at a great price. I had actually never let a shop near my any of my BMWs before Larry. I’m really glad I did.

Got my oil pan gasket changed here a few weeks ago and completely stopped my leaking issue. Great and fair price and nice customer service. I will definitely bring my 335i back for any other issues thanks!

Larry's team is outstanding. They have been doing the maintenance on my car for the last 100k. They have done all the oil changes and small stuff up to the big transmission rebuild on my older e46 and it has been a dreamy daily driver. I moved away from SD for a couple years (I'm back now 😄)and drove all the way to the east coast in back in my car. Only reason I felt safe to do that drive is because I have the best guys around to keep my car is perfect working order. Thanks so much guys!

Larry is the most knowledgeable person along with his staff, on anything BMW. I highly recommend him for an analysis of your car. And if he can't help, Larry will point you in the right direction. Price are pretty reasonable too.

My friend told me how good Larry was back in 2014. I have gone to Larry's place many times for my 328i from 2014 to 2017. Another friend of mine went to Larry's place today and asked Larry to do the oil change since the service light was on. It turned out Larry checked her car and told her it is not time for the oil change yet. Larry added some oil in the car and did not change my friend a penny for checking and for the extra oil he added. Larry, you are the best!

I'm not a super car fanatic. For me, a car needs to get me from point A to point B. Recently, my old 2007 BMW couldn't do that and I called Larry's BMW Shop to get me back on the road. I couldn't be happier with the experience. Two things worth pointing out: 1) Larry is a great person who obviously cares about his customers and is willing to bend over backwards. A different shop's (NOT LARRY) first comment was "we can't get you on the schedule today or tomorrow, but maybe the next day." After cutting through the sarcasm, I moved on and was happy to have found Larry's shop. He was willing to make time to take care of my car! He communicated with me the entire time making sure I understood what his team was doing and the potential costs. Talented mechanics with interpersonal skill is sometimes hard to come by -- Larry, Cody, and Michael have it all. 2) Quality of work is top notch. Pricing is even better. Larry was straight forward with explaining his team's diagnostics and the costs related to repairs. He is clearly not trying to rip people off or recommend unnecessary work. At the end of the day, my car works as expected and I am able to drive again. A big thanks to Larry, Cody, and Michael. You guys made my day!

Larry's is THE BEST BMW SHOP in San Diego. Their Customer Service, Knowledge and repair was unmatched. For all of you who own a BMW, you know how expensive it can be to upkeep. Dealers are overpriced and some shops fix problems with parts (which adds up quick). At Larry's you are guaranteed to find yourself with the best deal and service around. Larry, Cody, and Michael welcomed me and my 3 series with great care and efficiency. They were able to quickly diagnose the source of my problem, fix it and send me on my way, happier than ever. Whether for regular maintenance or big repairs, leave it to Larry and his crew!

Larry and his crew are simply the best around. They treat you like family and I really mean that. They show a level of care that is rare, if not unheard of, these days. Their work and rates are outstanding and more than fair. If you don't talk to Larry first, then you're missing out!

My first experience with Larry was a great one. I have a 2004 330i Zhp. It would not pass smog and I also needed to prep it for a cross-country trip. Larry went through the car with me and listened to all my complaints. He does not just throw parts at problems. Larry knows these cars, listens to complaints, and takes car history into account. After bringing the car to him I feel confident in taking my 13 year old car on a 3,000 mile trip, and for a fraction of what a dealership or larger shop would charge.

My first time at Larry's with my new bimmer and he gave me a great price for my initial oil change. He allowed me to go in the bay where his sons gave me an overview of the condition of the car. Everyone was very polite during my experience. Thanks, Larry!

I've owned my 328i for 6 years and all my maintenance is done by Larry. I like BMW's engine but not its small problems, and certainly not BMW dealership. Without Larry I guess I already changed my car. If you like to have a reliable, dependable BMW mechanic in north county of San Diego, go for Larry!
