David is down to earth and happy to explain mechanical details so you leave with a greater understanding the ins and outs of your car and of the job and issues in question. He was clearly super knowledgeable but not condescending in any way.He went out of his way to work with me on sourcing a special part for my 2001 Golf TDI. They installed a new clutch that is working just great. I had been going to certain shop (I won't name) that does really good work when they abruptly told me that my car was "too old" for them to work on anymore. I was like, "Hey! It only has 139k miles on it! What am I supposed to do? Throw it away!?" As I said, (*nameless) is a good shop that I trusted... but c'est la vie. (I mean a stick shift ALH TDI is kind of a special machine - at least to me and the TDI cult.)After shopping around and talking to some mechanics, I thought I would give Desert tech a try. I'm glad I did.Services: Transmission repair

I brought my 2015 X5 diesel in for routine service. I drive on dirt roads daily and the rear hatch had developed a rattle and it didn’t seal tight so a lot of dust was getting into the car. The shop I took it to previously did not resolve the problem. David and his crew fixed the problem and completed the maintenance at a fair price. In the 7 years I have owned this vehicle I have taken it to the dealer and two independent shops. David is the best.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement

Dave and his team do the work on our 228i to keep it in the best condition.I have worked with Dave for over 25 years and found him to be honest, ethical and efficient. In particular his philosophy of living by the golden rule to be a breath of fresh air in the automotive aftermarket world.

Was on a road trip and got a bewildering array of warning lights. Dave was able to help me and diagnose my car right away. Parts weren't available locally so they were ordered that afternoon. My car was ready before noon the next day! Thanks Dave, for getting my back on the road and for a fair price!Service: General repairs & maintenance

I went here mainly because of the 5 star reviews. I met with David on a Monday morning, the problem was ascertained immediately and my car was ready by noon the same day. I couldn’t pick my car up that same day do David kept my car safe inside his shop. I picked up my car the next morning and it has driven great ever since. Just to see the difference in price, I asked the BMW dealer for a quote on the same work that David was doing. BMW wanted $1300.00 and David’s price was $750.00.Please don’t hesitate to bring your car here. David and his staff are great and you won’t be disappointed.Great job for a great price!!!!Service: Auto engine diagnostic

Honest, fair, and knowledgeable. I went in for a check engine light on my X3, and David straight up told me the car had a lot of codes and he didn't know which one was causing what. His experience told him it might be the throttle, but he was honest on how it might not fix the problem. He showed me the prices online and explained how BMW makes their money by selling a $5 plastic piece for $400. He explains everything in layman's terms. I'm just happy I've found an honest shop that specializes in BMWs. And so far my car has been driving fine and no warning lights! Win-win!

I brought my first car here back in 2014 and they were even nice enough to let me watch the repairs so I could understand more about my car.. fast forward quite a few years and i own another German made vehicle and i didn't make it into the shop but had a few questions and David took the time out of his day to best help me with an over the phone diagnostic, if you want to actually trust a mechanic with your baby, look no further this place is it!

Sorry for the very late review. My 2007 BMW 335i stopped working on me all of a sudden. I took a repair shop and got recommend here. Greatest thing I've done. David is super helpful, intelligent and his mechanics as well. The repairs were fast and fair priced. When I went to pick up my car David and the mechanic explained to me everything they did the showed me what was wrong and why it went wrong. I'm only going here from now on!

Anthony is a friend of my husband, we called him one day after my window motor broke unexpectedly. Anthony was able to replace and repair everything by the next morning at a very reasonable price. I really appreciate how quick he was able to accommodate us.Service: General repairs & maintenance

I did not end up going with David to do some work on my car, but by all impressions David is a stand-up guy who knows his stuff really well. Not selecting him had nothing to do with any impressions of anything bad, just a matter of circumstance, parts, and timing.I had a fuel leak on my 2006 Z4, and some minor handling issues that I figured were a product of control arm bearings (ultimately solved with an alignment). David told me he felt the control arms were mostly fine and probably did not need replacement, and immediately (and correctly) diagnosed the leak as a crack in the fuel sending unit (formally, on my car, this is the fuel "filter" and regulator pump). Unfortunately, backordered parts/getting the correct parts proved to be a bit of a headache. David was very helpful and accomodating with respect to dealing with this, but his schedule was a bit packed and there would have been a wait on the part shipment, so I ended up acquiring the part myself and working with my regular shop in Phoenix to get it resolved more quickly.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend David to anyone else, just be aware that his schedule seems fairly busy and that part availbility may lead to some longer-than-ideal wait times or inconvenience.

I had taken my BMW a few years back. It was over $1,000 fix. I drove off the lot and before I could even make it home the car was over heating. It turns out, the hose came off and all the coolant leaked out. The owner told me that BMW doesn't put clamps on the hoses and that's why it came off (even though there was one on it after it had to be taken back). I talked to another mechanic a few days later and he said that is absolutely not true. Somebody just forgot to put it on.
