I took Mini Cooper in because it was leaking and had no heat. Jason communicated everything that was wrong with the car immediately and made sure he had my approval for any work that needed to be done. This place was honestly amazing because they communicate fast and post pictures and videos of everything! I can’t say enough good things about this place I am so happy and definitely will bring my car in the future if something is wrong!!! You guys were the best!
My first visit to M-Spec. Jason was outstanding. I was comfortable and confident I was being told about the condition of my car and sensible, reasonable next steps, even a discussion about affordability and budget. Use of technology also very good, with written communication and lists of next steps and costs. Well done Jason & M-Spec.
Just had my Volvo XC90 serviced at M-Spec Performance and they did a great job. Expect friendly staff and professional service at reasonable prices! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a real alternative to dealership service for European cars in NYC. Thank you, will be back for sure!
I had M-Spec install new brakes and tires on my Audi Q5, and they found me a great price on top-notch tires and all with a super quick turnaround. Calvin’s customer service made me feel good and at ease about going with M-Spec, especially since Brooklyn Audi dealership has done some shockingly sketchy things to me in the past. (Beware of them!) Thanks to M -Spec’s expertise and excellent service all around, they are my tried and trusted mechanics from now on! My car is driving like a dream!
I brought my Range Rover to the guys with air suspension problems, and had it changed over to coils, the guys were wonderful took care of it promptly, and were very much in communication as to what was happening. I found them very knowledgeable about the work and about the Car. I would recommend them for work especially European cars that others shy away from noel
I usually went to a BMW dealer for service. I wasn’t sure at first, but I tried a simple service. They checked my car, just like the dealer does, and list up about any problems. This helped me prepare in advance. The price was lower than the dealer, and making an appointment was much easier. The waiting area was also clean.
Look no further, M-Spec is the Euro shop I finally found in NYC. I did my own due diligence and research on M-Spec and was confident without reservation that they are professional and know their stuff! It turned out to be true, my experience with them was world class. In addition, they are very, very honest about everything on my Audi SQ5. I had them to perform multiple jobs and I will only go back to them for future maintenance and repair. I never felt they were trying to upsell me thing my car would not need. They identified the issues and provided solutions, it was up to me to make informed decisions. Shout out to Jason and Calvin for their customer service, yall are awesome.
Called M-Spec for a quote on brakes and rotors. Jason offered me a free car evaluation on my brakes. When I arrived at the shop it took them 30 minutes to evaluate my vehicle. As soon as I left I had my quote. Jason was very knowledgeable and polite. I would recommend this shop for repairs.
I ve been coming to this place to service my BMW for a few years and I couldn t be more pleased with service. Shout to Jason and Calvin for taking my last minute appointments. The shop is very knowledgeable about European cars (I ve even crossed referenced their diagnostics with BMW s diagnostics) and has very reasonable prices. Only bummer thing is that they are closed on the weekend.
I like place, all personal were very professional at every level, from reception (10) stars to mechanics. they explained me all problems with car and provided me with a very thorough explanation with full details ( something i never had at any location) . I get another car and 100% know where to go when needed. thanks guys.
I brought my BMW M2 Competition to M-Spec Performance due to a P0327 fault code related to a knock sensor. First, I want to highlight that Jason and Calvin were fantastic throughout the process their customer service was exceptional, and they kept me informed every step of the way. However, what ultimately left me disappointed was the diagnostic accuracy. I was quoted $2,600 to resolve the issue, as they concluded it was likely due to rat damage. This was far outside of my budget, so I opted not to proceed and paid $300 for the diagnostic, which M-Spec markets as highly exhaustive and precise. Later, I took my car to another reputable shop. They thoroughly inspected the wiring around the intake manifold and the knock sensor, and they found zero evidence of rodent damage. No chewed wires, no insulation issues nothing to support the diagnosis I received from M-Spec. While I appreciate the professionalism and communication, a diagnostic service that s advertised as highly accurate should not miss the mark this significantly, especially when the proposed repair cost is so high. This experience unfortunately left me questioning the value of the diagnostic and the accuracy of their assessments. Jason and Calvin were great to work with but the misdiagnosis and cost implications left much to be desired.
This is the only place that works on my 2015 5 series GT, they worked on my 93 3 series vehicle since 2007, the best for BMW
m spec is my go-to for all maintenance and repairs. jason is the best!
Great experience
It is a good service, Ive been more than 2 years with them
Finally I found the right place, Especially Mr, Jason Shoenecker hes a great guy and cool guy; after diagnostic check, hell explain to me step by step and told me what have to be fix.At least I know what I need the car to be done and what I have been paying for...Mr Jason hes a very professional person and Mr Calvin Chin hes also nice person, and he said I have to keep the oil change more often itll protect the engine to running well , after all that hopefully my car will last longer to keep it, thank you for your help
Always a smooth service.
Friendly and helpful staff. Explained and documented all issues found with my car and made sure I gave my approval before work was done.
Came in to have my 2013 Volks GTI inspected and tuned up. Was very pleased with the ease of making an appointment online and how quickly I was able to get in contact with the staff. While they are closed on weekends, they were able to work on the car quite quickly and updated me along the way with every decision. Yes, you may a tad bit more than other local shops but the peace of mind and efficiency they work with makes it worth it.
I had a great experience with M-spec. They gave my car a complete diagnosis. Found more issues, than what I brought it in for. There was know preasure to do the extra work. Jason kept intouch with me through the whole process. They sent me pictures and written explanations of every detail of what my car needed. Never experienced that before at any where else. Highly recommend M-spec!
First time there. So far very good.
Pretty much useless as an average repair service. Theyre only interested in making big bucks off of you.
These guys are fantastic. Quick, knowledgeable and really solid.
Came in for an oil change, was very transparent and friendly. Definitely coming back for sure
Great customer service, knowledge of foreign cars, & detailed communication on what was happening. This is the type of service all businesses should aim for!
M-Spec Performance is a truly professional, knowledgeable, reliable and friendly group of people and making my first time using them a wonderful experience:) Jason and Calvin went out of their way explaining what was wrong with my car and helping me understand what it needed to be done. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy service!
I had my car inspected at M-Spec, where they identified several issues, including the rear main seal and engine mount. Due to the high labor costs, I consulted certified mechanics for second opinions. Their evaluations revealed that two of M-Specs recommended repairs were unnecessary, and they identified other critical issues that M-Spec had overlooked. While the accuracy of their diagnostics raises concerns, M-Spec demonstrated professionalism in handling basic services, and their staff was courteous and attentive. For significant repairs, I recommend seeking additional evaluations. However, M-Spec remains a dependable option for standard maintenance needs.
Great company that knows what they are doing at a fair price.
Always a great experience. Honest and professional.
After some very disappointing experiences with the Manhattan and Brooklyn Volvo dealerships, I found the M-Spec team and was really impressed with them. They did a big service on my Volvo XC60. Super professional and outstanding communication. Will be working with them again the future.
M-spec is a great place to come and get your car fixed. They are polite and organized. They take the time to explain what s wrong with the car and give you a lot of different options for how to go about fixing the issues. They will also take the time to explain problems you are unsure about, which is nice
Great experience.
The people who work here are really friendly, and I enjoyed my time in the waiting room for the Porsche to be finished. In addition, Calvin also sent me a copy of my diagnostic test, as promised. Dario was super thorough with analyzing the car from A to Z. I can pinpoint what needs my immediate attention. Kelsey and Jonathan are amazing at what they do and took care of me. You wont be disappointed, trust me !!.
Great experience. very helpful, informative, and most importantly honest. Thank you all again!
Brought my Audi a4 Quattro 2014 in for complete diagnostic. They did a deep dive and made recommendations to fix a year long problem with misfiring events; also did a front alignment and control arm replacement. I do a lot of work myself and they had no issues with my replacing some components: Exremely friendly and super expert. I will always be returning for needed service. I have out four hundred miles on car and runs like it was brand new.
I have a BMW Z3 1996 that was very sick...thank you so much M-Spec Performance for breathing a new life to my baby...cant thank you enough ...thank you so much.
Wonderful staff,very professional thank you so much for the repairs on my vehicle
The experience was amazing. The guy Jason that helped me out. He was very helpful. Very informative. I would recommend people your services
Jason is the best customer representative athank you Jason Cevdet
Great experience here. I only got an oil change but the guys did inspect my whole vehicle and recommended what services I should do next. The service was fast and there was constant communication via automatic text system. Calvin was my service advisor and he was knowledgeable and trustworthy. Will definitely be getting my car serviced here from now on. Night and day between your shady mechanic shops and this place!
I Brought my sons 2013 BMW 128i here for some minor maintenance (oil change/inspection sticker and an issue with thetTMS sensor) . I like the garage and the service and I believe the work they performed was just as good as any BMW dealer. My only complaint is/was is that I like to use a specific brand of oil in my BMWs and at M-Spec you are forced to use the oil brand they promote and sale the same as the dealer does. It may seem like no big deal but IMO the purpose of using an independent BMW shop is to give the owner more control over what he/she wants to use in or on their vehicles in which your hands are tied when having service performed at the dealer. I however did go along with the oil change having to use the brand they sell because I needed other things looked at on the vehicle and I needed aninspection sticker as the one the windshield expired the next day. Outside of that I give the shop a solid thumbs up and will most likely use them again when its time to bring out my Z4 and have it tuned up from its winter hibernation.
Wow this shop is so thorough and well run! I brought in a car with a degraded battery, worn down tires, and evidence of a serious rat problem in the engine bay. They sent a detailed digital write up of all the issues with photo documentation and outlined the estimated costs so I knew exactly what I was being charged for as well as recommendations for issues they didnt handle at their shop. Most of the time, you just have to trust the shop is doing what they said theyd do but this place was honest, didnt try to upsell anything, efficient, and great with timely communication even with all my schedule changes.
First time going to their shop. Great work very friendly very profesional. Thats where I will service my car from now on .
Jason was great good customer service, attitude the time to wait was short who ever worked on the car on time thank you.
Highly recommend! Great support , knowledgeable and any issues you may have they work with you to make sure your satisfied!
As always great service and great staff would definitely recommend # 1 runs like new
The staff and technicians are dedicated to performing the service with attention to detail. Many of these car s problems are difficult to diagnose. They go through painstaking efforts to correct the problems, all the while explaining the problem and different strategies to fix it. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and courteous.
Great service and attention to detail. Super professional ! Seasonal tires swapped on
Very good knowledgeable professionals, honest service , ml 350 oil change
Great people to take your car too.
I have good experience with place . Good and professional service . Excellent personnel.
My first time using M-Spec for my VW Tiguan and I couldnt be happier. Excellent customer service and quality work from start to finish. I highly recommend!
Came in for a new battery.Courteous, professional service. A reliable service shop for my 2010 MB. And right in the middle of Queens.
First time visitor, m-spec was very detailed with their diagnostic and provided transparent itemized pricing with easy communication. Exactly what you want for a specialized shop! I recommend calling to make your appointment though (as another reviewer stated) as I think my online form didnt go through
* 2024-My mini has around 77,000 miles and I have had several trips to M-Spec for needed repairs. I only use M-Spec and I trust both Jason and Calvin to advise me, and they have always taken very good care. Mike, one of the M-Spec mechanics, who has worked on my car a number of times, really cares about his work and I always leave with the assurance that my car is in perfect working order. This is a business that is dedicated to the work and excellent customer service. 2020*Phil and his team at M-Spec excel in service and communication. They were recommended to me by another Mini Cooper owner a couple of years ago. Each time you visit you can be sure they will holistically assess your entire car. On Monday I went in for an oil change and an inspection, and some other issues. Their customer service is excellent; they let you know when your car is entered for service , you re given a written estimate via email in advance of proceeding with the work. The mechanics are time efficient, trustworthy, prices are very reasonable and the quality of work is assured. Phil always checks up following your visit to make sure everything is working well. I highly recommend this business.
I have very professional experience with M-Spec Performance!!! Thank you very much
Great shop highly recommend them.
It was excellent experience friendly people nice place and professional employees I recommend this place to whoever has German cars!!!!!!
Im from Connecticut and my car shut down while I was in Brooklyn visiting and then was t o w e d to M spec performance, which they took me in under the emergency situation.....thanks to the team.
These guys are the best, first time costumer and man did I feel welcomed and free to ask questions. Way better than dealing with audi dealership. Just normal folks who love cars and just want the best for you and your car.
Always satisfied with the integrity and quality of service provided at M-Spec. As someone with zero understanding of car mechanics, I am hugely grateful for M-Specs honesty and care.
I visited M Spec last week after making an appointment online. When I arrived, the service rep told me, I wish you had called to make the appointment instead of booking online, so we could explain our process. My immediate thought was, why not call me once I made the appointment? They emailed and sent me multiple text messages to confirm before my appointment why not use that opportunity to explain their process? Why even let customers make online appointments without describing this process? The rep proceeded to explain this process. They would keep my car for a few business days to diagnose the issue and then come back with a quote. Regardless of whether I wanted to proceed with the repair or not, I would still have to pay around $350 for the diagnosis. This felt like a gamble, especially since it was my first time at M Spec, and I had no idea what their prices were like. I decided to check out another shop, and it turned out that all I needed was a fuel leak detector. The other place diagnosed the problem at no cost in less than 10 minutes no exaggeration and even had the part in stock. I was in and out in about 45 minutes. Im glad I trusted my instincts and didnt proceed with M Spec. I dont enjoy giving negative reviews, but I think its important to share my experience so others dont waste their time and potentially a lot of money.
5 stars, and i wish i could give more. This place is excellent, I highly recommend. The service rep was extremely communicative, kind and professional. Going to a new shop can be stressful but she made me feel at ease and made the whole process super smooth from booking my appointment, to answering my questions, etc. she was attentive, concise, and it was clear she is very knowledgeable regarding cars. Great customer service skills across the board. Jason checked my car out, he was able to identify the issues and patiently explained what was going on in a way that was easy to understand- step by step. He is a well of knowledge when it comes to cars and really knows what he s talking about. I felt he had the best intentions and gave me options/ never pressured at any point, I felt informed. Jason made me feel confident about the whole situation and I felt he and the staff there truly cared. They sent me emails with in depth photos and updates and kept in communication with me. I left my car for a couple of days and it was well worth it. The high level/ quality in depth thorough check they did was incredible. Lastly, their level of flexibility was soooo appreciated. As a first responder it s difficult to stick to an exact schedule or even answer the phone, they really worked with me! (Above and beyond) I am lucky to have found them and I recommend . Overall I had a great experience here. M spec is trustworthy, reliable, and genuine. My new go-to place.
Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful with my car I ve went to many mechanic shops they all gave me the run around, maybe is this and try that no one can pin point the issue. But MSPEC was able to diagnose the problems with videos of testings and gave me solutions. Jason and Calvin is on top of everything and they let me know as soon as possible. Definitely recommend to anyone that owns a M3.
I love this shop. Mechanics are top notch. Front desk staff Calvin and Jason are super friendly and always respectful to customers. You will not be disappointed.
In an industry where costs can quickly escalate, M-Spec offers competitive rates without compromising on quality. From the very beginning, their exceptional customer service has stood out. Every interaction with their team has been marked by professionalism, attentiveness, and a genuine desire to understand and meet specific needs.
Calvin and Jason are always quick with updates. Car is always returned in a reasonable amount of time and work is done at a price that dealers can t compete with. I always drive away feeling confident in the work they provided.
Great work definitely recommend and Davis was a huge part of getting my car back together not rushing anything instesd working w/ me and not against me during the whole process
Quick efficient service
Great guys. I definitely recommend. They treated my Volvo timely and with confidence. Special thanks to Calvin who always had time to respond to my calls and explain the situation.
Highly recommend this place! Jason was very helpful throughout the whole process. The online portal is very easy to use for communication and to view any updates on your vehicle. The mechanics paid attention to detail, provided photos of their findings, and Jason thoroughly explained their findings and helped me prioritize my repairs. I never felt pressured or like I was being persuaded, only informed and told that it was up to me! They only make repairs once you approve them, so there are never any sneaky surprise charges! If I wasn t moving out-of-state this month, M-Spec would definitely be the ONLY place I would bring my car for repairs! So glad I found them. Thanks, M-Spec!!!!!
Excellent service. To be honest initially, was very hesitant to do the work on a 2015 GLK 350 with about 90k miles, prior visits to the dealer and other shops suggested 11k possible to fix a check engine light. Yikes. Honest, detailed work and constant updates are priceless and allowed me to make a sound decision. Thanks Jason and team. Highly recommended!
I ve never had a shop experience like this before, I ve had plenty of experiences but when it comes to professionalism and efficiency, these guys got it locked down. The reporting I got them to tell me all about my car was as thorough as you could ask for and their online portal was easy to use. Nothing but great things to say about M-Spec and their team. These guys are locked in now as my go-to shop for anything I need. Appreciate you guys!
Navigating Auto Service: A Guide to Understanding Your Cars Needs When it comes to auto service, the experience can range from straightforward and satisfying to complex and frustrating. A positive initial inspection can set a good tone, with thorough documentation and clear communication about service costs. However, issues can arise, as seen in the case of a car brought in for a transmission temperature warning. A diagnostic fee is standard in the industry to identify the root cause of such issues. In this scenario, the problem was resolved with the replacement of a temperature sensor at the cost of $2,000. However, the service experience did not meet expectations in several areas. No additional inspections were conducted, necessary fluid top-offs were overlooked, and parts were left disassembled within the engine bay. Moreover, a new issue emerged: the trunk ceased to function. The technicians proposed several potential causes, such as a faulty actuator lock, a pinched wire, or a blown fuse, yet overlooked a simple solution a mispositioned switch in the armrest compartment. This oversight raises concerns about the thoroughness and expertise of the service provided. A reputable BMW technician would likely have checked the switch early in the diagnostic process. The lack of attention to detail, leaving the car unwashed and exposed to the elements, further suggests a disparity in service quality. It appears that customer satisfaction may be contingent on which technician is assigned to the service, highlighting the importance of having skilled and attentive professionals like the wished-for technician, Jason. For car owners, this underscores the need to be vigilant and informed about their vehicles service requirements. Its crucial to advocate for your cars care, ensuring that all potential issues are addressed promptly and thoroughly. When selecting a service provider, consider their reputation, the expertise of their technicians, and their commitment to customer satisfaction. Remember, your car is a significant investment, and its maintenance deserves the utmost care and professionalism.
Great place to have your European car worked on. Staff is very helpful and will inform you of issues that you may not know of. Will definitely bring my car back for service.
My experience at M-Spec was amazing. Jason helped my family navigate a difficult situation. He went over and beyond to ensure that I received payment in regards to my warranty company. He kept an open line of communication so I always felt well informed. My car is running perfectly fine. I definitely would recommend this shop to others.
An M-Spec technician test drove and inspected my vehicle for 2 hours, and then told me my vehicle was in need of nothing. Imagine that! This is why I ve been servicing my vehicle here for many years. Trust & professionalism, they won t try to rip you off.
Great service knowledgeable staff Jasons the best. Just slow with the repair time I was without my car for 3 weeks
Brought Mercedes in for wheel alignment, they gave me a oil change by accident there fault still Paid for it and the wheel alignment the car came out going right badly. Next day pop the hood they left a long screw driver under my hood since that day car haven t been the same idk what oil they use for the oil change but it definitely was not good.
Awesome shop, great customer service
Top notch service. Excellent customer intake and high quality diagnostic and mechanical work. As a result they are a very busy shop and you may have to wait but its worth it.
I ve brought my car to M-Spec twice and both times I received top notch service. I knew the whole time my car was in good hands. All issues my car was having were fixed on first attempt. The shop also does a really good job communicating and has a simple to use platform for quotes.
dont waste your money and time .these people will ripped you off, they will fix the problem you told them , but they will mess up other things to make you come back to them . These people are a scammer. Don t believe me just try it . You will see what will happen to your car.
THIS SHOP IS GREAT. PROFESSIONAL, HONEST, COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, TOOK CARE OF MY PORSCHE CAYENNE AS DISCUSSED. CALVIN AND DARIO WERE WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH.. LOOK NO WHERE ELSE BUT M-SPEC!!!
The work order details are amazing. My vehicle being over 20 years old was definitely looked over for any other issues and informed about everything. Warranty on everything done. Well done!
Calvin is the man!! Hes always there to help. These guys offer dealer quality service! This is my go-to mechanic for my BMW M340 one thing I really like is that they document literally everything! I got a brake fluid flush and along the way they discovered my rear diff was leaking. later that day I got a full detailed report emailed to me with multiple pictures. the communication is top notch here which is something I really dont see many other dealerships doing in the area.
Always reliable never second guess anything but stellar work! Thanks !!
my BMW needed a battery and an alternator and the bill came to $3100. They told me about a major leak. After the fact they did the alternator. so much for going over a car and diagnosing. Make a Very huge mistake bringing my car to these people. They are a rip off and they are not honest. Shame on all of them, but it s OK karma will catch up to them. Stay away by all means necessary.
They fix my headlight from my BMW they do good job.
My first time having an actual car problem, and my first time going to M-sSpec, and I m so glad I did! Wonderful workers and mechanics! Calvin and Jason are super helpful and extremely friendly! They made my entire experience that much more comfortable and I knew my car was in safe hands! Will definitely go there again should I have any other issues with my car! Thanks M-Spec!!
I was Recommended M spec from a good friend who had recently had done on his car there I went met with Calvin. They were very friendly, helpful, and amazing. I could say he really.
Very good advisor Jason. Will visit again very helpful with all your car needs
Great service. My X5 ride now drives like new. I very recommend
Very reliable, amazing quality of the work done on the car with the front replacement of stabilizer system A+++ service!
Always great service. Highly recommend this shop.
Service at m-spec is amazing. Friendly and almost half the price of dealership. Would recommend to anyone who dont want to be ripped off by dealer or have your car in shop for days. Jason was an amazing service rep as well as all the mechanics in the shop. Thank you and keep up the good work guys.
I had and excellent experience. I would suggest this place to every one.
My 1st experience at this location was actually great. Jason was very helpful explained every issue to me in detail which needed to be addressed and did not pressure me into having my vehicle serviced immediately like plenty of other auto body shops do. He gave his best advice and I went with it. They have a nice waiting area which I surely made myself comfortable. I must say Im pretty impressed by their service. Im glad I found out this place is close to home. Thank you guys for your awesome work Ill be seeing you soon.
I been taking my car there for that past 2-3 years and its been a great experience every time. From customer service to the work that gets done to my 2014 435i xDrive. I love their online work order, very detailed with pictures and descriptions of the recommended work, process of the work and completion of the work. Very professional. Thanks M-Spec!
I found M-Spec as they are an in-network approved shop for the warranty on a new-to-me Mercedes E-Class. This isnt my first German car rodeo, and I always notice how Im treated when I go into a shop. From the start, Jason was super friendly and has since taken the time to explain the work done and what well keep an eye on to make sure the car stays in tip-top shape. They performed an incredibly thorough pre-purchase inspection on the vehicle while I waited, and made a minor repair recommendation without making me feel remotely pressured to do it. They even opened the claim with my warranty for that work, which they performed the very next day, again while I waited. I really appreciate the great customer service and quick, quality work so far. While I dont hope to become too much of a regular, M-Spec so far has made the sometimes soul-sucking art of owning a finicky car worth it!
Quality work!
I dealt with Jason and he is very good at customer service. Very happy with the work they performed and would highly recommend them.
I ve been a long time customer, all work has been excellent. Very thorough and keep you informed of all progress and potential issues
M-Spec has been servicing my 2011 BMW 335i X-Drive for many years now. They do an excellent job and provide a 3 year warranty (or 36,000 miles) for any work they do. My car continues to drive impeccably despite the rough and tumble roads of NYC. Highly recommended if you care about quality maintenance of your BMW!
Amazing work on my full installation of sunroof and driver side computer console. Real professional and diligent staff.
Very professional, unfortunately out of my price range but the service was very honest and thorough, thanks Jason for your help
Break sensor replaced. Very good job. Car has right head light malfunction. It is very expensive to fix. New adaptive headlight is very expensive.
I have trusted M-Spec for years with my family vehicles. Most recently I had some major work performed on my 2005 BMW M5. On this visit we took care of my clutch issues by replacing the original clutch with a new clutch kit and associated parts. While my BMW M5 was at the shop they also replaced the alternator and performed an annual New York State inspection. I cannot speak more highly about my experiences at M-Spec. They truly treat you with the utmost professionalism and respect. There are few if any true European independent specialists in New York City let alone Queens and Brooklyn. It is extremely difficult to find a shop that operates like these guys. They really do their best to invest in the latest technology. The customer experience I have received has just gotten better over the years. They have a system of sending photos, videos and text updates while my car is in the shop which I have never experienced at any other shop, not even the dealership. The night drop box is also very convenient since I work during the day and can only get the car over to them after hours. If you own a BMW there is no better shop to go to. These guys are the best.
Great service, clean waiting room and Jason who handles customer service is awesome.
I have been going to M-Spec for years. The team there is always friendly and gets the job done right.
Came in for a diagnostic on a knock coming from the transmission housing. They went above and beyond and completed a full diagnostic report on my entire vehicle and itemized each repair and the pricing for each. While the repair costs were a little over budget for me, the report was very thorough and came to conclusions on every mechanical malfunction in my vehicle. Very pleased with the work they did. Would recommend.
10/10 service my m3 here daily Jason and the team are a great. Always in and out in and timely matter.
It took decades to find an auto repair shop that didnt try to turn my lack of automotive acumen into unnecessary repairs, and explained the reasons for why repairs might be necessary. Ill never entrust the BMW with anyone else. I hate sounding like a radio ad but I dont care. M-Spec is the real deal if you dont want to be belittled or taken by an auto repair shop. Well done boys and thank you.
Extremely professional and helpful - dissuaded me from unnecessary work, but also found issues that i was unaware of.
Treatment 10/10 - Jason is a great advisor. Thank you for keeping me posted all the time. Michael, thank you for your great work on my car. It feels better than ever. This is the place that I was looking for. Arlin O.
Great care of person and vehicle!
To expensive , I mean yes it bmw but they charging arms and legs and if u don t pay that payment in 90 days , they up it a few more thousands ,which explains all the bmw parked around there , they jam people up to the point where they can t afford back they car ,work is nice but a lil overcharging , I won t recommend here for the average working man , u gone spend the whole check over there every week.
The staff were very nice. They explained to me all the things I needed, and they let me stay in the waiting area if I had any questions.
I needed a thorough health check after only 4 months from a dealership service and took a chance with M Spec. I m so glad I did. There are less than a handful of experienced and professional mechanics that can be trusted with the E46. It might be less and less in a few years. Jason was very upfront and responsive (considering how busy they are). Relayed the shop foreman s findings and suggestions clearly. The software they use to communicate with clients is excellent. I was able to check on the process 24/7 with photos and videos. They re not all over social like some other shops and putting all their time into the car. Probably better that way or else I ll never be able to make an appointment. I kid. I hope they continue to do great business and stay around for a long time. Thank you to the team at M Spec.
M-Spec inspected every aspect of my vehicle and provided a report the is MORE COMPREHENSIVE than the DEALER. I only wish I would have found them sooner, I could have save a ton of money. I would recommend them to anyone.
Great work and excellent customer service. Definitely recommend.
Awesome service and accurate diagnostics. They specialize in high-performance vehicles. I highly recommend them for quality workmanship.
Tremendous find. Great group of people who take great pride in their work and the results shows. In this day and age filled with mediocrity this company is a breath of fresh air
Excellent customer service
Ive been using you guys for years and have always been happy with the service. Keep up the excellent work.
After having a repair screwed up by a local garage, I scheduled a 10am appointment online with M-Spec Glendale for our 2005 BMW X3 on a Sunday evening. The next day, Monday, Jason from M-Spec called at 9am to confirm my 10am appointment. When I pulled into their lot at 10am exactly, Calvin from M-Spec called to check on my arrival, and then came out to meet me in the parking lot. Their level of professionalism, courtesy, and communication was evident and remained throughout. After running a full spectrum diagnostic on our vehicle, we left the vehicle to address the issues needing repair and have the car inspected. We can now say, after driving the car for a month after getting it back from M-Spec, that its like driving a new car. The engine runs so smooth and quiet and the ride is quite enjoyable. We highly recommend M-Spec for all of your foreign car needs. Thanks to Jason, Calvin and the entire staff at M-Spec.
True professionalism without the BMW superciliousness.
The staff takes the time and energy to due a good job, without the dealer cost.
10am appointment for an oil change and a visual inspection of my front brake to find the source of a rub. Was told my car should be ready the next day, and that they had a few cars in front of me. What s the point of booking appointments if the time isn t respected? Told them if it wasn t ready that day I d go elsewhere, so they promised they d have it finished by end of day. Oil change was $200 which felt steep but I was already there so I approved it. Website states FREE RIDES TO HOME OR WORK. After driving myself to the appointment, I was told they didn t do that, so I paid for an Uber to take me home. I paid for an Uber back at 5:30 to pick up my car and when I got there the oil change was complete. They did a $40 wheel balance which they thought might fix the sound coming from the wheel, but the sound persists. I was quoted $850 for a wheel bearing replacement which I won t be doing at that cost. Update: the shop called me to see how they could make it right and offered to reimburse me for the Uber rides. I was told they were short staffed which is why they couldn t drop off customers. They are all nice people, I just think they need to sort out their organization of how they book their appointments.
EVERYONE PLEASE READ THIS IT WILL SAVE YOU TIME MONEY AND MORE CAR PROBLEMS! If you think you are going to professionals who know what they are doing, let me give you a valueable message before you make a VERY COSTLY MISTAKE. This place right here is my personal definition of legal robbery. Unfortunetly I made the biggest mistake ever by going here and not paying attention to other reviews. These people had took my ML63 Mercedes in and told me they knew what they were doing before I moved forward with them. They not only charged me an arm and a leg for just a diagnostic which I never heard of if your doing your work with the shop, but they charged me $1050 to replace a intake boot and air filter which the average shop would charge $200 for if even. This was to posssibly remove an engine light my car was displaying. They told me they usually test drive a car before returning it, for some reason they decided not to test drive my car and I was wondering why, to find out that when I went and paid $1600 for a diagnostic fee, air filter and intake boot replacement (RIP OFF) I went to take my car from where they parked it, that my whole airbag suspension was completely shot from the back and my car was not lifting. I went to the person whom dealth with me for the payment (Calvin) he had told me if they can take a look at the car and hold it for a couple days before calling me back after 3-4 days and telling me my airbags are messed up. KEEEP IN MIND I NEVER WENT THERE WITH THIS BEING THE PROBLEM OR THIS COMING UP IN THEIR WHAT THEY CALL LEVEL ONE AND LEVEL 2 diagnostic which is another way of them finding reasons to charge extra money to their customers. After me telling them this was never anything wrong on my car they told me my car was messed up and they didnt do anything that had to do with my suspension so it wasnt their problem, before contradicting themself and telling me that had to drop my air suspension before lifting my car or it can blow my airbags. Then I told them they were suppose to notify me that this happened to the car and they told me they didnt test drive it because it felt unsafe, but they parked my car away from the shop which means they lied, they did drive my car atleast to the parking spot but wanted to act like they knew nothing about my suspension being shot and my dash board saying MALFUNCTION. I went on to tell them to diagnost what the problem in my suspension could be so I can get an idea of what happen, so I wait another 5 days before they call me and tell me my air bags looked torn but I had gotten these airbags replaced from mercedes 6-8 months prior, so that goes to tell me their mechanics blew my airbags and they try to act oblivious and not take accountability for their actions. Then they told me because they liked me so much they would help me resolve the issue by fixing the issue for a heavily discounted rate when they dont know me from a hole in the wall. They gave me a price of $800 for the airbags to be replaced with me providing the part which came out to $1200 and they told me that it can possibly also be the compressor and they wouldnt know till they replace the airbags. I WENT AND PICKED up my vehicle and left with a shot suspension before I lost another $1200. I went to another shop and replace both airbags and paid $600 with the parts included. ALSO MY ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL HERE AND THEY NEVER REPLACED my air filter, and they held my car for nearly a MONTH. THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND LIE TO YOU, and with No REMORSE. WHAT A SAD BUSINESS THEY ARE RUNNING TO TAKE MONEY FROM PEOPLE AND RUIN THEIR CARS AND THEN LIE ON TOP OF IT ALL. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, they will charge AND arm and a leg for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. THEY NEVER TOLD ME THE NAME OF THE OWNER BUT THE WHOLE TIME WERE TELLING ME THEY WILL SPEAK TO THE OWNER AND I KNOW FOR A FACT I WAS SPEAKING TO THE OWNER. HIS NAME IS JASON AND HE HAS A PARNTER NAMED PHIL, they both are the owners but will never tell you that, and those are the scammers who spoke to me after Calvin was left speechless.
They made a great job! Thank you. See you soon.
They were trying to charge me $550 just to look at my car. Not do anything to it, just look at it! Ridiculous!
My experience at m-spec was great. The customer service and waiting room make you feel right at home. I also want to give a special thanks to Calvin(the front desk receptionist) and Dario(the mechanic) for their time and patience. They had no problems answering all the questions I had and shared there personal experience with cars like mine. Thanks to their expertise, they were able to rule out some problems I had with my car. Mspec has been in business for 20 years, I would definitely recommend them to anybody with a foreign car. Thanks again - Laron
honest and reliable
Great crew! Transparent about what your car needs and doesnt need. Pricing is clear and I really like they do a lot of their communication via text or email. And they keep a record of things! Pretty great overall!
Took my Range Rover Evoque for checkup and 4W alignment recently to M-Sepc. Great place for service needs of any European vehicle and not just the Beemers. Very knowledgeable, excellent communication & feedback via emails and texts. Equally important - very reasonably priced and prompt. Never going back to the dealership. Thanks Jason !!
Well run business
Good craftsmen. Know what theyre doing. Thank you very much
Excellent
Thank you guys!!!
Great customer service
Great shop and very very thorough with going over car and letting you know what s wrong with your car . I drive an E60 M5 and will only come here since we all know how crazy the E60s get with maintenance.. give this shop your worries and they will fix and address anything they find to you in a timely manner .. keep up the good work and I ll be seeing you guys shortly
They provide a great service & very thorough work on my vehicle. They were honest about work that needed to be done and work I can hold off on till the next check up. They were also very friendly and providing alive information about the work they were doing well they worked on the vehicle, all in a timely manner.
Good service, very dependable and trustworthy .
M-Spec performed a complimentary multipoint inspection of my Porsche Panamera 4S that I just purchased pre-owned. They also performed a brake and coolant flush. The staff was very informative, patient, and professional. *UPDATE#1 had an issue with my AC. Problem diagnosed and repaired. Jason was great!. He worked with my warranty company, and my warranty actually paid them double the amount they originally billed them for!! RoadVantage Warrantees are great! He assured me that the work would be guaranteed! AC works great! **UPDATE#2 : The original repair failed after just 2 months. Freon leaked slowly from the o-ring they had just replaced. Brought the car in as per their work guarantee. They confirmed the failure of the original repair but now found a new leak from an adjacent pressure line hose. They now are billing my warranty company another $1500 to diagnose and recharge the system a second time, along with replacing the hose. Thankfully, the warranty (RoadVantage) authorized the entire cost again. Ive been waiting for the hose to come in. Its been 2 weeks since I brought the car to them with this. I picked the car up in the meantime because I didnt want it sitting in a shop so long. The drivers seat, doorsill, b pillar liner, and steering wheel were covered in dirt and grease. I really hope they get it all right this time. I dont want to have to come back a third time, and I really dont want them to bill my warranty again for an AC issue. RoadVantage has been very generous. (I dont want to press my luck) so far, its been a total of $2800 to replace a $3 o-ring, $200 AC pressure hose, and to charge the system 2 times. My local mechanic had suggested I go to the dealer for AC issues because German AC systems can be tricky and nuanced. I brought the car to M-Spec because they assured me they have the expertise to fix AC issues. I hope I wasnt wrong in trusting them. They have great reviews and have been responsive thus far. We ll see. ***UPDATE #3 AC fixed and has been blowing cold air for a solid month. During an oill change, MSpec inspected the AC system and found no further leak. They have been very responsive.
They were unbelievably helpful and went beyond!
Excellent service. Calvin kept me informed through the whole process.
M-Spec has been my primary go to for truly reliable and knowledgable car service ( tune-ups, diagnosing, inspections etc). This is the most professional looking garage Ive ever seen. Garage is clean, well lit and organized. You can access a service page that lets you track and document the work in progress and pass on notes to the mechanics as if you were there. Overall a great experience start to finish.
specializing in BMW, but theyre restoring a special Porsche.
Long story and I dont want TLDR, so to summarize my incredible experience at M-Spec I will say this: I own a 2012 BMW 750 Li that had broken stem valve seals and a leaking radiator. After a week of objectively going through all permutations of the options on how to proceed, we settled on a new engine from BMW and M-Spec installed it. They were transparent with the work, they were respectful of the cost and always left the decisions to me. We have a 3 year warranty on their work and I feel that I will not be going to my other mechanics as these guys are fair, honest and reasonably priced and they really know there way around a BMW. A special shout out to Jason as he was their first line of support and did a great job.
Took 3 different cars here to these guys (BMW and Audis) on 3 separate occasions in the past couple years and they always fixed my problems with no issues. I d recommend M Spec to anyone.
I called this shop today for a second opinion on a matter. Jason was honest, sincere, and thorough with his response. Really great group of guys that aren t out for your money and do honest work.
Super professional shop. Brought my car in once for a snag I ran into on a build and they were excellent. Second time got quoted 6 hours labor to replace a knock sensor
Knowledgeable team and great service!
M-Spec/ Middle Village - You guys are the best!!! Thank you. I appreciate your responsiveness, transparency, and turnaround. Also, the waiting room ads tremendous value to the impeccable service you already provide. You all should be very proud.
MSpec is a gem in automotive service. Renowned for its transparency, they provide clear insights into costs and repair timelines from the get-go. The swift responses, including text communication with the mechanic, add a modern touch to customer interaction. MSpecs detailed reports, complemented by pictures, offer a transparent view of necessary repairs, fostering informed decision-making. Notably, they uphold customer autonomy by presenting recommendations without pressure. MSpec excels in transparency, responsiveness, direct communication, and respect for customer choices. For a seamless and reliable automotive service, MSpec Auto Care is the go-to, and Im certain to revisit for their exceptional service.
Took my 2017 S-class to M Spec per a friend s recommendation. Boy am I glad I did! Let me just say it was one of the best auto repair experiences I ever had. The service and repair was top notch. Transparent pricing, in depth communication, and they never proceeded to do any repairs without my consent. Calvin the service advisor kept me up to date on the progress of my vehicle. I would definitely recommend them to all my friends with German autos. They actually do what a lot of other shops claim to do. Great job guys. You ve made another loyal customer
Quick and efficient oil change. Thanks
All the personnel I dealt with during my cars repair, beginning with Jason, handled me with the utmost respect and professionalism!! I would not trust my New Beetle VW to any other repair shop, they are true professionals and know what they are doing! I have been a true, longstanding customer of M-SPEC and they do not disappoint! Great staff, and by the way HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND HOLIDAYS to you ALL and have a healthy and HAPPY NEW YEAR...Stay safe!
I have been use this this auto shop since my 2010 mini finish warranty. But the dealer service never fixed my car problems since I bought this brand new car at that time. Also the service fee was over charge for my mini in mini dealer shop. I found m-Spec-performance on the website. I drop my car there and told them all the problems I have to my car. They fixed all the problems for my car with very reasonable price ( much cheaper than the dealer). I am completely trust them. They are very honest and professional and great service. Now they are my mini second home because they help me maintain my mini every six months. I don t have headaches anymore. Thanks m-Spec-performance for taking care good my 2010 mini
Great service and platform they use to communicate makes the whole experience seamless. The work done on my car is profesional. I recommend to anyone; M SPEC is better than the dealer.
Good custumer services, and gave the best option for the car
I was really please to bring my car to M-Spec they were really help with my car problem and instead of overcharge me refer me to the dealer because the problem still had warranty. that proof to me how serious they are.they will see more often now
I came in for an emissions test for my Mini and the work was done in a timely manner. Also the staff was great and very informative. Highly recommend.
This was my first time visiting M Spec Performance. Im always wary of visiting a new mechanic for the reasons anyone else is, but was quickly put at ease by the thorough communication and clear direction they gave on what needed to be done immediately and what could wait. Their online portal communicates findings, repairs and recommendations in a clear manner and the service was outstanding. A big thank you to Daniel for all of his help throughout the process. Im very happy with the work and service I received and plan to come back to M Spec for any future needs.
Honest and informative. Extremely professional
Scheduled an appointment at M spec for an oil change and brake fluid flush. Spoke with Daniel and gave great customer service with providing me feedback on the work needed done after the free inspection. No hassle just clear and easy communication, big respect to him and the technician servicing my car. Oh and great online link for the servicing of my car, gave me every details and quotes needed.
If you need honesty and quality. Great all around service ! You guys are great!!! See you in the spring
They really have been taking care of me and I m happy because they actually knows exactly what they doing not just taking people money .
Im easily frustrated with repair shops as they never tell you anything you want to hear. However, I do respect the staffs professionalism when giving you the bad news. I think Ive been there so often now, that Jason and I are pals.
Very disappointed with my experience with m spec in middle village queens super over rated place and very expensive so if you re going to get your car serviced or diagnosed dig deep in your pockets, cause you will pay a pretty penny!!!!
Got my 2017 330i serviced over at the location in Middle Village , everyone is so nice and I just love how quick and flawless they get the job done . I have alot more mods I have to get done after I come back from vacation:)
I am really pleased with the timely service I received and the professional and rapid answers I got to my questions. Thank you.
M-Spec provides great service for a great price. Easy to talk to, easy to book an appointment and very accommodating. While the prices aren t the cheapest, keep in mind you re paying for quality service. Definitely cheaper than dealerships, but better quality than dealership work in my opinion. Not only did they take care of my issue but provided a very thorough service report. That in itself is worth every penny. In the report they include pictures along with detailed explanations. They even recommended services based off the condition and mileage of the car. (Services the car actually needs and not bogus upsell) I will be going back in the spring/summer to do my 60k service.
I took my Beemer to M-Spec and, boy, was I impressed. Their expertise in high-performance vehicles really shines through. Its like theyve got a sixth sense for diagnostics, and their detailed invoices with photos make everything crystal clear. Its reassuring to know that they treat their employees well, which explains the top-notch service. Im definitely sticking with these guys for the long haul theyre the real deal in Queens for German cars.
Calvin, you deserve a 5 star sir you helped me and went out your way to give me a ride to the bus when you didn t have too. With the operation of M- Spec performance it s 100% a professional shop. I read some comments about the prices and I was never disappointed by the pricing . These guys work hard and if I had more money to add on top of the reasonable pricing I received I would tip them $100-350 extra just because of the professionalism, the communication, the results . If anything happens to my car this is my #1 top shop I will always go to within queens . Best regards, Mr. Weir
I recently took my Porsche 987 to M-Spec. I was a little hesitant because my 987 is a build and, has an 997 engine swap. And not everyone is capable on working on her. I m glad I took her to M-Spec, they exceded my expectations. They are now my Indy for my 987. I would definitely recommend.
M-Spec performance I think a lettle expecive for my taste but my first time there they are down to earth they fix my 2019 e class time chain beautiful they stand by their work mechanics and the services janson a grate guy that knows his work and traying to give you his best advice for the duration of you repair I recommend this repair shop for you benz needs eny time
Excellent job done, staff is great and showed love to my Mercedes - Jay
I cant rave enough about these guys. Once again they prove how invaluable they are, this last visit they found a mistake they made and told me about it. This shows how committed they are not only to doing the job right, but the integrity of their business. If youre reading this, believe me, everyone else is second rate. Second review Im putting up because they deserve my praise. I appreciate all you guys did to help me afford this last repair. Im in disbelief a shop would look for ways to, in essence, lose money. Thats just not how a business operates. Thank you all so much again. Be seeing you guys again soon for tires and brakes.... and the journey continues. Absolutely my go to shop now. Just recently purchased and proceeded to break my mini Cooper. Its hard enough finding a good mechanic let some one that specializes in European cars. These guys exceed any expectations I had. Kept me informed at all times, super patient with me, everything was kept to laymen terms so it was easily understood. Pictures at every step, worth the premium. Honestly, the best way to describe M-spec, you get what you pay for, and Im not mad about it. Best part, next door is the JDM shop.
They ll charge you double the price for repairs. Yes they will give you warranty but it s not worth it. Do your research and find a reliable mechanic shop. They will also drive your car and mess it up cause when I got back my car my transmission felt a little odd. My bumper didn t look the same either.
These guys know what they are doing and saved me money over going to the dealership. I will be back
Came in multiple times to get a quote for different jobs and each time the quote they give is 2-6 times higher than the second highest price I received for that job. A few months ago I came in and asked for a quote to install some after market downpipes exhaust and told them I already have the downpipes in the car and to let me know when theyre ready so i can show them the parts and discuss what I want done. They then brought me to a waiting room thats out of sight of their lot, and the receptionist called me back out after 15 minutes with a quote of $2900 to swap half an exhaust that two other shops quoted me for less than $500. They took my parts of my car and out of the box and crudely put them back in the packaging without me there. I was actually floored and when I asked why the price was so high his explanation just made me more upset. He said it was that expensive because they would have to move the catalytic converter to get to this part of the exhaust. When I told him that they would obviously have to move the catalytic converter because thats part of of the downpipes I m asking them to swap out, he actually froze and didn t know how to respond. I couldn t tell if they were blatantly lying to me or if they incorrectly assumed what part of the exhaust they had just looked at and just through a number at me, regardless not a good look. I was told by friends and family that 10+ years ago they did good work at a fair price, but now all my friends who recently went to m spec were not satisfied with the work and feel theyve been ripped off. Would not recommend. In response to the reply, one shop quoted me $390, the other $450, both looked at my car and I ended up getting it done at the shop that quoted me $450 with no issue. Admittedly the review was written because I was upset, but there were no lies told, I was thinking about my few interactions with M Spec for sometime and seeing as you guys somehow have a 4.7 rating, yet I know no one who has had anything good to say about your shop, (except for a family member who said he used to go to you guys all the time over a decade ago, but hasnt been since), my 1 star review wont even dent your rating. You talk about seeing the menu, not ordering any food, and leaving a bad review, but I wouldnt be so inclined to leave a bad review if you guys had handled me and my property with respect, the $2900 quote was just the cherry on top
I woke Wednesday morning with a flat tire which sucked because I just replaced 2 tires of my vehicle last week. So I walked into M-Spec and I was greeted by Jason who was friendly and helpful. They immediately checked my tire and informed me they can patch right away. I was in and out of the shop in about an hour.
Outstanding service
I have an old car and Jason worked with me to do the necessary repairs that are within my budget. He was very good at communicating all the issues and provided timely updates on the status of the repair.
I have been a loyal customer with M-Spec for over 7 years. I trust them more than the Audi dealership. I taken all my cars to them, each one was handled with care and love. Highly recommend.
An over all adjustment was done to my vehicle to fto locate all the internal issues that was wrong. The mechanic was able to locate and tell me everything needed repaired, or replace. They did an amazing job location the issues Ihad, and even some i did not know i had. I would take my vehicle to them again. They are professional with their customer service. They are patience, and kind with explaining the vehicle issues. I appreciate this, along with them being knowledgeable
Fixed the problem no issues afterwards
