Just moved to the OC area. looking for a reliable bmw oriented shop

Venom · 07-24-2014, 09:53 AM

Hi everyone,

Seems like I am going to keep the Venom for now. Does anyone from the OC area have a shop recommendation? I am now in Huntington Beach.

Best,
Venom

I think Bullet Performance is over in that neck of the woods.
Edit: now that you're in Socal, when do I get to see Venom up close? Been tossing around the idea of 1M front clip and 275s on all 4 corners...

Tuesday Meets over @ Diamond Jamboree in Irvine. 7PM to whenever. DJ is a huge meeting spot for a bunch of different crews and car clubs, interspersed with the odd ricer brigade, here and there. Usually a big group of us will meet up there, and roll over to Quickly, a solid boba joint in Irvine, later in the night once we've laughed enough at the ridiculous ricers. Usual turnout 20-100+ depending on the night.

I am now in OC brahs. if you want to stroll to Anaheim there's EAS of course. They do good work and have always been reasonable with prices to me.

everyone's entitled to their opinion but every shop has a few issues here and there trust me. if you avoid every shop that has a few bad reviews you'd be installing everything yourself.

tehron · 08-01-2014, 07:17 PM

^ what he said

been to EAS for an exhaust install and an oil change between intervals as well.

they seem to hold their reputation as a damn good shop at a reasonable price

I had all my suspension work done at Bullet. I've had multiple oil changes done there as well. They are not going to be the cheapest price in town, but I believe they are fair.

Here are a few pics I took there when I got my suspension installed --

There is also LTMW, which is where I plan on going next. It's just a bit of a drive.

Yeah I understand your point but making a mistake is one thing, being arrogant and disrespectful is another.

They actually have a lot of bad reviews I was able to dig up after my experience.
