These guys are legit. By far the best in the game. Would never even contemplate taking my BMW to another service center. Take your time, build a relationship with these guys, you won’t regret it. Customer for life.

I am so grateful for Bullet Performance. Nate and the rest of the team were very kind and helpful. They fixed my car promptly and at a price thousands less than the dealer. I am very pleased with the service provided and I will definitely be coming back for my car’s future needs. I highly recommend this shop!

Charged me $2300 to reconnect a wire and charge me for multiple days of labor and made me order a whole new part for a car that I did not need claiming they’ve never seen this problem before yet, this is what they do, they are supposed to be car professionals yet seemed so confused about a wire being disconnected and having to charge me thousands of dollars for their lack of knowledge.
If I was the owner I would eat the cost instead of passing it to the customer seeing it was their inability to properly diagnose and fix.
Now unfortunately I won’t be going back here and will be passing along the word of mouth that they would rather get paid than have a satisfied customer that would do repeat business and refer new customers.
Would have been much better off just taking to the dealership

This place was recommended to me by an acquaintance after the dealership wanted $638 for basic service on my 2021 Mini Cooper with ~6000 miles. Bullet Performance determined that all it needed was an oil change and a routine vehicle inspection. Grand total $148 and an hour wait. Let's just say I'll be servicing my car here from now on.
