Jim and Marci are professional and their service is second to none. I have a 2002 and 525i and as expected repairs are needed. I’ve taken my car to them for several repairs and I’ve always received exceptional service as well as timely. They really go out of their way for customers and pricing is fair. I won’t go anywhere else and highly recommend Jim.

I have been bringing my E46 M3 to Jim for service for over 3 years now, and I have to say that Jim is the best! From his complete knowledge of BMW cars and prices, to his genuineness, he has given me full pride in saying that he is the real deal. The reasons why I give Jim and his company 5 stars are as follows:
1. From the first call that I had with Jim, I needed my pulleys and pulley tensioners to be replaced. In this car its a little tougher, due to the lack of room to deal with. I called Jim up, and he immediately was very knowledgeable on what I needed to have done on my car, and his pricing to do the job was cheaper than anyone around the San Diego area. I took my car in, he was very friendly and personable, and the next day when I picked it up, he not only replaced all of my pulleys and tensioners, but also did a thorough check, at no cost, of my vehicle, and showed me in person what might need to be fixed soon, and what looked in good shape on the car. I knew at this time that I had found my mechanic!
2. He always communicates well with things that should be replaced, but instead of just doing the work, and telling me later, like some shops do, he always gives me the option of doing it now, or later at a time I feel comfortable with. He inspects everything with me every time I show up, so that I have a good idea of what it is, instead of just his word. That has made me feel very confident in the way he runs his business. It shows that he has high integrity.
3. His prices for service are off the chain! I once called the BMW dealership to ask them how much it would cost for an inspection 2 service, and they quoted me over $ 1200. The first time I talked to Jim on the phone, I asked him if he did inspection 2 services, and how much he charged. He said yes he did, and it was I believe $ 400 or $ 500. I can’t remember specifically, but I do remember that I was blown away at how cheap he charged for that service. Not only did he do the service as requested, but he inspected my car, washed my car, and I believe adjusted a few things here and there, at no cost. His prices are always better than the competition, even the other independent owner shops.
4. He only works on BMW’s, and has been working on them for quite a long time. It makes me feel special knowing that my mechanic is a true specialist in his line of work. He has a true knowledge of BMW’s, and is also a huge fan of them, like myself. Its fun chatting with him about cars over the phone, or in person. He has a passion for the BMW brand, and it shows.
5. He knows the in and outs of certain aftermarket brands. I am always searching for aftermarket things to do to my M3, and Jim is a good person to ask about certain companies, whether they are good quality or not. He is also willing to install parts that I purchase on my own, and bring to him. Not all shops do that.
6. He is very patient, and willing to work around whatever problems my car may be having. I recently had my clutch replaced through Jim, and it ended up being quite a nightmare for the both of us, trying to figure out why my clutch kept slipping, though the clutch was replaced new several times. Through a lot of things, and time, Jim finally found out why my clutch was slipping, and it was due to loose seals inside my transmission (6spd manual), which made the output shaft shimmy a bit, causing the clutch to slip. After I think 4 new clutch kits, and 2 or 3 new flywheels, he finally solved the issue. But I was very concerned at how much my tranny rebuild was going to cost, knowing that M3 transmissions are not cheap. Without giving too much detail, I was given the deal of a lifetime, and was so blessed that Jim understood my concerns and did the best to make me happy. Through tough times, Jim is still always there for the customer, and that experience confirmed my trust that I have in him.
7. Anything, and everything that he does, he warranties. If its a part that he orders for me from his supplier, he warranties the part and the labor. If I bring in a part, he warranties the labor. Very fair to me. The warranty he offers has come in handy several times, and he never questions if I have something break that is warrantied through him. He just says, ok bring it on in.
There are lots of things that I have taken my car into for Jim to fix, and I know that I will continue to bring it into him for service because of these experiences that I’ve had with him. I consider Jim and his family my friends, and I give his business a 5 star +++++++ rating. He is the best. I refer everyone I talk to who owns BMW’s to him, and I recommend him any day to anyone out there.

Jims prices are the best, and no one comes close to his customer service. If you are tired of the dealerships gouging you and their high prices, try this alternative to the dealer nightmare.
Had my vehicle serviced there three times and totally satisfied. RECOMENDED !!

I wish I could give Jim a TEN STAR review. Prior to finding Jim, I was taking my 2001 525it to local shops in LJ and Bay Park. Each time something went wrong with my car I dreaded having to call either one of them. I simply had no trust in what they told me regarding my car and their prices were the same as San Diego BMW. Thankfully, a bad experience with one of them sent me looking for a new mechanic. I hit the jackpot when I found Jim on Unilocal.At first I was skeptical of all the glowing 5 star reviews, but figured I had nothing to lose by calling to talk to him. After 5 minutes on the phone, I knew the reviews were legit. He took time to explain my options to me, reviewed the costs (which cannot be beat in the city), and scheduled an appointment around my schedule. Since that day I have been a return customer on numerous occasions and will continue to do so for as long as I own a BMW. He is a rare find nowadays and you owe it to yourself to call him.

Beware do not go here. He said hes going to replace both uppet timing chain cove gasket on x5 but he never did he just wanna collect money on me. If he replace it is not suppose leak again but still leaking hes a liar big time. DO NOT GO IN THIS SHOP

Look no further! Sometimes you spin the Unilocal wheel and win, this instance? just that! I bought a 6 series and within a few months the service engine light came on. This of course is enough to send chills up your spine knowing that anything BMW is going to be pricey. So I found Jim on Unilocal (obviously) and saw people thought highly of not only his service, but him. Well, I concur. Every aspect of Jim’s service was SOLID. From ease of scheduling, to correspondence, price, dropping me off and picking me up and thoroughly explaining everything to me. As long as I have this car, it’s Jim’s. Yours should be too. He also threw in a couple complimentary things on the house… Enough said… That is all… see you there sometime?

Jim is so helpful and genuine running his business. He quoted me a lower price for my minor service than the other German car specialists I got in contact with.
He went out of his ways to fix all problems.
He even dropped me to my house and picked me back up. I highly recommend him.

Jim Saves the day again. Not only a great mechanic but fair prices and a man the stands by his word. You can’t find a better person to fix your bimmer. Amazing. I am so happy

Sounds like a great guy, I called him to see if he could replace my BMW’s alternator and he suggested a couple tips and tricks before spending the big bucks

Went to Jim again to service a problem with my car, and once again very satisfied with his service. Very dependable and will not return your vehicle until the service provided is at its optimal. Very affordable prices compared to the dealership without a doubt. I recommend him to any individual who owns a BMW. His service is beyond my expectation. He is the only mechanic I trust with my vehicle.

I can’t put into words how amazing Jim and his customer service is. the guy is amazing. he came to my house and replaced an entire ignition system in my driveway in PB. Thanks again for everything.

I went to Bimmer Mechanic on Wheels again and just great servive. Look at why my trunk wasn’t opening, figured it out, for free. Really great job every time

What a blessing Jim was last weekend when I was in San Diego for the day! I live in Irvine and when I got to San Diego, my window went down and would not go up. I was in a panic, not only for my car’s security, but for the drive home with one window being down. It was 3:00 on a Saturday and my dad found Jim online. He was working on a big job and stopped everything to get my window up, so that I could head home. He charged me a small fee and gave me a great sense of relief. I told him I would recommend him to my mom who lives in SD and has a BMW. I know she will be blessed by him also when she gets into a bind with her car.
I would highly recommend this business, you will not be disappointed.

I have always looked for an honest and knowledgeable mechanic; I have finally found the right guy and have recommended him to all my friends and family. He lives and breathes BMW. It’s tough to go to a mechanic that specializes in Bimmers and drives a Toyota??! His cars are all Bimmers, so with that said… He is now my Mechanic. Jim was very honest and did not try to recommend or sell me things that were not needed. This is as good as it gets.

I’ve had Jim service my vehicle twice this year and I will most likely return to Jim for all future repairs and regular maintenance. The first time I spoke with Jim over the phone about my car issues he immediately was able to diagnose the problem solely based on my description. Jim’s wife was also very knowledgeable about most of the issues that I had been experiencing with my car. Jim & his wife also go out of their way to deliver your vehicle to you if you are unable to make it back to the shop to pick your car up. I highly recommend getting your BMW serviced here instead of paying more for less at some of the other shops in the San Diego area. Excellent service in addition to having an excellent staff!!! Thanks Jim!

I feel so blessed for running into Bimmer Mechanic on Wheels, I have been to his shop about 6 times with different issues, and even though I am paying the bill I always feel grateful for the amazing job Jim does every time!
I was having a problem where my car wouldn’t start some times, had taken it to two different mechanics and they said nothing was wrong, when I talked to Jim on the phone and told him what was happening he knew exactly what it was. Then he found that there was a leakage from a repair another mechanic had done, he told me to go there and get them to fix it since they had worked on it, but the other guy said the radiator was broken that’s why there was a leak, Jim assured me of not such a thing, and he fixed the problem and told me to wait on the breaks because I could still drive about 5 K miles with those. He is awesome, and the service that they give they stand by it.
Soooo happy that I found them. Honest, reliable, high integrity.

With all the glowing reviews how could I go wrong? I’m so disappointed. Jim was supposed to come down to my house for a mobile repair yesterday at 3:30. 3:45 rolls around so I called and he said he got caught up with another repair and lost track of time, and was going to get cleaned up and come out to my house. Should not be more than an hour. Fair enough.
3 hours later, no call, no show. Wasted my day waiting for him, called several times with no answer. Who does this kind of stuff? If you can’t make it just say so. Now I’m not only another day without my car but I have to find someone reliable to come help me finish this. This is not the way to do business. Thumbs down!

Jim and Marci are awesome!!! They are very knowledgeable and extremely down to earth and personable. They go well beyond what should be expected of a mechanic. I brought my car in for service and almost had to force them to charge me more. Their hourly rates are far cheaper than any BMW mechanic I’ve seen in SD. They constantly gave me status updates, offered to deliver the car, and even washed it. I didn’t need it, but they even have a loaner car.
As the name says, they’re a mobile service. I was working on my car at home and got stuck. Jim came out to my house and helped me figure out what I was doing wrong.
I’ve been to a few BMW mechanics in SD and I’ve liked them, but these guys are the best. I can’t say enough great things about them.

Jim is amazing… knows beamers like the back of his hands, professional, thorough in his explanations, and very honest. Jim has been servicing our 330i for a couple of years now and we are so thankful we found him. Highly recommend bimmer mechanic on wheels.
