Review from Dennis E.

The freshly powder coated lower control arms for my '55 Chevy needed new ball joints pressed in. I called a couple of local suspension and alignment shops, expressing my concern about damage to the finish during the process of installing the parts. One shop GUARANTEED that there would be damage! That's when I thought of Borelli Motor Sports. I took the parts to them and talked with Addison about what I needed. His response was "We'll have Dave do it". Dave is their resident suspension guru - he installed the parts without a scratch, and it didn't cost me any more than what the other shops quoted.
All in all, a good experience. From the front office to the shop, you can tell when you walk in the door that BMS is a cut above. -

YOWZA!!!
WOW.... OMG!
One of the cleanest shop that I've been to in my life. It's also one of the shops with the most expensive cars you can find on the streets. The guys are BMS are extremely friendly and make the place like home.
This is a total different kind of shop. Located in the heart of a auto club complex, they are totally gated. They aren't like other shops where you have dozens of cars parked outside with the wrong type of crowd standing there. This place is a professional complex. You walk into the door and your greeted with a specialist who will listen to what your car needs and assign the work that needs done.
I came here for a exhaust installation for my 2009 e92 M3. They drove my car into the shop from the side and parked it onto a rack. Two guys were working on my car carefully as they tried to go through the process of installing the exhaust. They also let me take pictures of the installation so I can keep a personal log of my car. While doing that and examining the work, I realize that the guys really looked into every aspect of the installation and made sure everything was right before lowering the car off the rack.
After the install, I had some questions about my concerns with shaking steering wheel after I had my aftermarket rims installed. The guy told me that it could have been a mount and balance problem which would need to be diagnosed. They worked on that for me and told me to wait 1 hr. I went out to grab some snacks before coming back.
1 hr later.... They explained the diagnosis to me and explained what they did with the wheels. Each wheel was checked on the balancing machine and adjusted based on what the machine told them. The guys worked on Ferrari's, Lambos, exotic cars, and race cars for professional track drivers. They told me that wheels and balancing is very important and showed me a computer graph of the wheels with the weight info and how much psi was put into each wheel.
I trusted them with my car. 2.5-3 hrs after. I got a brand new exotic sound on my e92 M3 and my steering wheel problem seems to have went away. =)
I thank Addison for the quality service. If you have any inquiries look for Addison and I'm sure he can assist you.
~one more thing.... Be sure to tour their shop and the Club Auto Sport section of the building. I guarantee that your jaw would be hurting after seeing all those cars. -

I went to Borelli Motor Sports after trying several other shops which I found unfriendly, dirty, and a rip-off. I am extremely happy to have found BMS because they are not only very friendly, but REALLY know what they are doing. At first I thought they would not even work on a "regular" car like my Honda Accord because their shop is filled with expensive exotic and race cars but they assured me they work on "regular" cars all the time.
What puts BMS over the top is the facility they are located in, Club Auto Sport. I was offered a free loaner car while my car was serviced but I chose to wait in the facility instead. They have a showroom which is truly amazing, free Wi-Fi, tons of flat screens with satellite TV, a gym (yes, a gym), race driving simulators, and truly amazing cars to look at everywhere. After my car was done getting four new tires, an oil change, and new brakes I was sold on BMS and will never take my car anywhere else again! -

I own an unusual car, a Ferrari 400i, rare even for a Ferrari. When the car developed an ignition problem which I could not diagnose myself, this is the only shop willing to tackle the issue. All through the diagnostics and repair they were conscience of cost control, something which can quickly get out of hand in the wrong shop. Not only is the staff knowledgeable, but they are willing to acknowledge what they do not know and find the necessary help.

My family and I had a truly first class experience. I ended up patronizing BMS for their shop work they acquired Performance Art in Gilroy. The expertise and service are what sets this business apart form other shops. I decided to upgrade rotors, replace pads, and rear tires. Only top quality products we recommended and used. I also had a very cheap detail done that left a bit to be desired but I was satisfied since we had a loaner car.
I hope to upgrade the suspension with a custom setup that they have begun offer. I believe a call to them will be the best way to see if they can fulfill your needs. Highly recommended. -

Great shop -- they've taken good care of my Boss 302 Laguna Seca and Shelby GT500. Installed a rollbar and harnesses, brake work, datalogger and some repairs too. And even though I'm usually asking them to do things on a ridiculously short schedule, they always come through. They also provide awesome track support and driver coaching. Don't know what I'd do without them!

They say they have Audi Specialists, but they don't. I purchased a Groupon for a 300 dollar Value. First, when I showed up I was impressed at how clean it was. I thought that I was in good hands, since they had some nice cars that they were working. Ferrari's etc... However, this was not the case. I took my Audi for them to troubleshoot and fix because a check engine light came on and needed it fixed, they charged me 400+ to replace 2 hoses. After about 2 days, check engine light came back on. I took it back and they charged another 200 dollars to replace some more vacumm hoses. After I left, check engine light came back on. Took it back immediately, the guy reset it and said that it was fine. Drove the car back home and check engine light came back on. Paid 600 dollars altogether and didn't get the orginal problem fix, car still has problems, some new shiny hoses, but I don't think they know what they are doing when it comes to audi's. I explained to service man that all i'm doing is paying for more visits, when it should have been fixed the first time. The guy just gave me some BS about having to perform diagnostics each time, BLAH BLAH.. special tools they got to use that cost BLAH BLAH...
Overall would never recommend their services to friends or family. first impression was good, but when they started working on the car, it was BAD. They don't know what they are doing, pretend to understand Audi's.. say this and that...
Big Disappointment!!! Save your money and time and go elsewhere.Comment from Addison L. of Borelli Motor Sports 12/9/2010

I took my 2011 Mustang GT to be lowered after an ill fated DIY episode. Addison, the GM, was extremely polite and professional. The caliber of cars in the shop and the museum like appearance of the place set my heart at ease. The suspension tech went out of his way to explain the details of the job and also made some excellent recommendations. I drove home in a free loaner car and came back the next day to pick up my car. My stock parts were neatly boxed up and the tech, Dave, again took his time explaining what had been done. I had some additional questions and he patiently answered all my noob questions. The drive home may have been the best so far in my brand new car as the handling now is taut and razor sharp. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone who wants their car taken care of at the highest level by super professional folks.
