Gs Tuning

I’ve been coming here for 5 years now. They serviced my x5 and now my Mini Cooper. Excellent work and quality above all. They’re attention to detail is awesome and they are honest and easy to work withlove this place!

This place is GS Tuning,
955 Santa Rosa Ave
Santa Rosa, CA 95 404
Some shady people do business out of this shop in Santa Rosa. Regarding their auto repair it’s sub par with people not capable to do work on more advanced tech. I once asked to do a simple job prior to finding a great shop in Bavarian Auto of Santa Rosa and these guys quoted one price for a control arm then a week later went in to do work and price was increased more than $ 200. He claimed he didn’t know that the cost of the part and labor was the price he quoted, even with print out. Stating he no longer can do for that price because it’s too low. Then he also said certain repairs would need to go with the fix to fix the issue. Other shop, Bavarian Auto took care of problem for less than the original price with more qualified techs.
Remember to never do business with these crooks. They will rip you off as well as place you in a dangerous situation. Avoid.

The place is awesome! Great for all BMWs and he works on other German cars as well, like my friend’s Volkswagen. I appreciate the pricing and the extra effort that the staff puts in to make your experience worthwhile.

My favorite BMW shop in the area. The mechanic even went for a drive with me to help identify a problem. Was told not to worry, and wait till it gets worse as it was not a serious issue. So, honest? Yes. Big fan of these guys, pricing is same or better than comparable places. If you have a BMW, it is best to find a place like this that really understands (and loves) them. It will save you time and money in the end.

Great customer service. I just came in for an oil change and asked them to check on the sunroof, which wasn’t closing all the way. They just took care of it without any extra charge. The service advisor (Robert) took time to listen and explain options without the hard sell. I’m a fan already.

I’ve been a long time client and have even bought BMW’s from Good Stuff Auto across the street and I have had my last vehicle a 2000 740i which has been a great car but has had a few hic-​ups since being serviced. My biggest complaint is that the fix’s don’t seem to stay fixed. I have put in excess of 3 to 4 thousand dollars into this car and for example I replaced both rear window motors and guess what they are broke again in less than 6 months,(now front motor is gone out on driver’s window) I had an issue of few leaks from oil and radiator fluid which we replaced the whole top end of the motor with fresh gaskets and went through all the hoses and protocols for clearing this problem with a hefty bill again and now check coolant comes on and putting radiator fluid in about every three days. My problem is do I go back or do I search for a new trust worthy automotive place. I like these guy’s but my bank account is feeling the pain. also have had issues with the brain of the car that also inured a lot of money and turned out to be a faulty hood switch… in confusion

Really like these guys. Robert is excellent and if he ever left I’d really have to consider if I’d do business with them. I have a high level or trust in Robert and he goes well beyond the ordinary to provide an explanation — when asked of what is needed. I very much trust him. The technicians are all great although I see less of them since they moved to their bigger location on SR Ave. Still I know them well enough to have confidence in their competency. I miss Kirk (or Kurt?) and hope he’s doing alright but as long as Robert is still around, I will probably stay with them too.

I have been doing business with GS Tuning for about 7 years. I am completely satisfied with my experience at GS tuning. I love working with Robert and Kirk and I have complete confidence and trust in what they tell me. I echo the other positive comments that others have left on this site for them, I never feel like they are overselling me. I purchased my first BMW 7 years ago (2001 740i) and I feel very fortunate to have found a repair shop that is this experienced. I am in the market for a used BMW 750i and one of the reasons I am not considering another brand is because of the relationship I have with this organization. I look forward to doing business with GS tuning for many years into the future.

Hands down, best place ever. No rip-​off scams and a clean car after. Robert is knowledgeable and helpful when it seems like life about to end (or at least your cars). They all do a great job and I recommend them to everyone.

I wrote this review for them before, but since they moved it says closed for their old location… this is what I wrote before: So I literally just got off the phone with Robert, the service manager at GS Tuning. The most honest, upfront and nice guy you could want as your service manager. I took my car in today for an oil change and other minor stuff, and mentioned to them that the engine seems to make a very faint whining noise as the RPM’s go up. The road tested it and said that the alternator is making that slight noise, but it’s good for now and no need to replace it because there is still life left in it. I’ve taken my 330i here for a long time, and I have never EVER been upsold or told to replace anything just so they could get some $$ out of me. Other places (especially the local BMW dealer!!!) in town would jump on the occasion to tell me that the alternator needed replacing, probably along with some other made-​up stuff. Not GS Tuning. They are honest, direct, and just exactly what you would want your service shop for you car (especially BMW) to be. They have a loyal customer in me! Can’t recommend them highly enough.
***Update – I had a crack in the overflow tank for the radiator. To replace they had to remove a couple of things. Robert told me that since my car hadn’t had any coolant system replacement (It’s a 2002 and has 130k miles). Since they had to take some things off to get to the tank, if I wanted to replace some (or all) of the system, it would be cheaper labor-​wise to do it then. No pressure, and they were honestly saying it was up to me, and trying to get the most bang for my buck. I opted to get the whole thing done and turned out to not be as bad as I had thought price-​wise. I still can’t recommend them highly enough!

Robert and Kirk are my go-​to guys for my 318ti. Their work is top-​quality; I always feel comfortable knowing my Beamer is in their very capable and professional hands.
Bonus: they wash your car when you have work done – a very appreciated detail.

Excellent service and fair prices. The folks at GS Tuning took the time to explain any necessary work and to help me prioritize what needed to be done now — or what could be deferred. It’s very helpful to have the opportunity to discuss the pros and cons of going with various parts (e.g. OEM, performance, warranties, etc.) Over the past 20 years I’ve used many BMW shops in the area and I’m glad to have finally «discovered» GS Tuning.

These guys know BMWs, I’ve been going there for over a year now and wouldn’t think of going any where else.

Worst service ever. I felt so taken advantage of. My car was there 3 times for the same problem. I paid a diagnostic fee every time they would charge me for what they thought was the problem and then my car would break down again. Basically I paid for stuff to be fixed on my car that was never broken. They were rude and wouldn’t offer any sort of break on the fees. I paid 3000.00 dollars to fix my car and it only should of cost 800.00. Never would I ever recommend this place to anyone.

My 87 BMW 635 CSI let me down while on a call near Santa Rosa, CA. last week. The tow truck driver took me to one shop that said they could not touch it for 3 days and did not work on older BMWs. The driver called in and took me to GS Tuning. They diagnosed the problem in less than 2 hours and more importantly devised a very creative but appropriate fix that saved me $ 1,200.00. They completed the work that day and only charged me two hours worth of labor. When I picked it up, they had washed it, cleared a warning light, and repaired another minor issue. I could not have been more pleased!

After getting bad service from the local dealerships I gave GS Tuning a try. I have a 2003 VW Jetta that I recently brought in for regular service and the check engine light. I don’t know a lot about cars but Robert took the time to thoroughly explain what the code for the check engine meant and what needed to be done. He was extremely professional and courteous. He recommended a solution that was fair and honest. I am very satisfied with the service I received at GS Tuning and would highly recommend them.

I manage a local auto body shop here in Santa Rosa and have dealt with A LOT of local businesses. We recently stumbled upon GS Tuning and couldn’t be happier. Kirk and the guys have been great to deal with and I will refer any of my BMW, AUDI, VW, MINI customers his way. From a business standpoint you have to feel good about your vendors, sublets, and partner businesses as they reflect YOUR work.
