I wont trust my 2008 Sprinter to just any mechanic. Sprinters are quirky, they require regular care and Tim and his crew provide that for me and my wife. In fact, I think San Diego sprinter owners are lucky we have a dedicated sprinter shop close to us. Hes worked on my glow plugs, torque converter, suspension parts, he does my oil changes and he gives an honest assessment of what is needed and what is not. Ive even been nearly stranded by a check engine light hundreds of miles away and I dont hesitate to text him and get his assessment, even if Ive found a repair place where Im at.

Ive taken my 2010 Sprinter to Sprinter Pit Stop twice now. Tim and his crew of mechanics are awesome. The first time was for suspension work and the second time was to have a propane tank and grey water tanks installed. I am so glad I found this shop. Sprinter Pit Stop provides excellent value and their work is top notch. I will definitely continue to use this shop in the future and I highly recommend Sprinter Pit Stop.

I discovered some rust on the roof of my 2017 sprinter and wanted a good paint job to get rid of it. Tim looked at it and sent an estimate that was good. He also asked about general maintenance and so I decided to do the transmission fluid change with him as I was nearing the 50k miles. In addition he also looked at a speed governor that I have on my van. All of that was done very professionally in 1 week exactly following the estimate time for the work. I am very pleased with the result, my roof is better than new !

My van was overheating when I drove up mountains. They found problem quickly checking pressure in coolant system, but problem was in a fan clutch which made whistle noise when engine worked in a high speed. I was impressed qualification and prices this body shop. They will care you car and fix problem which really exist not just taking money from your pocket not fixing issue like it was happened with me changing radiator in another body shop that was not even problem.

I have had my Sprinter Van serviced 2x by Tim and his team @ Sprinter Pit Stop. They are very knowledgeable in sprinter vans, and get straight to the point. Always a pleasure having my car serviced by Sprinter Pit Stop. Tim is always quick to respond by phone or email as well. Thank you Sprinter Pit Stop!

Well, what can i say? Tim, the owner of Sprinter Pitstop is the man you can count on for ANYTHING having to do with Sprinter maintenance and repair!!! Short notice! No problem, come on in! The quality of work is A1! Turnaround time (efficient service). Quality, factory parts! No nonsense when it comes to quoting and doing the work, no surprises. I found Tim to be very honest on cost and what should be done for needed repair as well as preventative maintenance. Best experience with any mechanic, repair shop anywhere anytime!!! Thanks Tim and crew! ;-)

My fiancé and I bought a custom converted Sprinter from Tim and Andrew and it was an all-around fantastic experience. When we made the purchase the van was about 80% complete, so we had an excellent feel for how it would turn out and the level of craftsmanship they put into it. They are clearly engineers; the design was highly functional and well thought out. The bed converts to a long table, the lighting is all recessed, there are fans above both the stove and the bed, and the car radio is wired to the house battery so that we have tunes when we’re parked! From there, we had the opportunity to specify the finishing touches — what color for the mattress cushions and the cabinet doors, a swivel for the drivers seat, an extra table… things like that. They helped us think through some of the trickier aspects, such as how best to handle a large screen map / music display (get a cheap head unit and wire it up to a separate tablet), and how and where to install a table to work while driving. They ordered and installed everything with a smile. They also offered us a 45 day mechanical warranty so that we could drive it around and make sure everything worked properly. As it turned out, the stove didn’t work properly and they happily replaced it.All in all, five stars for price, quality of work, and generally being pleasant to work with. Highly recommend.

Be careful with these guys and their pricing. You should always get a second and even third quote for your sprinter repairs. I took my 2012 sprinter (180k miles) there a few times and it seemed like decent pricing on some smaller repairs. They did good work. Then they quoted me over 10k for several maintenance jobs. I ended up getting other prices and got the work done at a different shop (sprinter repair services) for under 5k. I also didn’t like this shop because it’s very unorganized, they have tons of vans and parts jam packed in their shop

I only got a diagnosis from here for my review is only based on that. Tim was very honest and did not push me to get something repair that did not need repaired yet. Even if it means not getting the business later because I’m from out of town. I appreciated his free and honest consultation!

Tim and his guys are awesome! We’ve come to them multiple times and Tim is always super chill and they get the job done. Prices are very reasonable as well. The dealership quoted us $2k to fix a problem that Tim and his guys solved for $600. We love these guys and will continue to bring our sprinter here!

They got me in the next day & out same day. They understand my van is my livelihood & the need to get rolling again quickly to minimize down time.Their rates are reasonable & will even take a look at your issue at no charge to let you know what is wrong. Tim is very personable, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable.One thing to keep in mind is that while they are working on your van they also take a good look all around for any other issues they see. They are not trying to “up sell” you, but believe being proactive rather than reactive, especially given that my van is how I make money I can appreciate and practice this method myself.2016 2500 V6 3.0L300,000mi

Huge shoutout to Tim and his team at Sprinter Pitstop. I brought in my Ram Promaster with a few different things to fix and they helped me right away.

Came down to work for a week in the Sprinter van and on the way the check engine light came on. My coworker and I were both fairly freaked out. I called Tim and left a message after hours. I showed up promptly at 8 am and he said he was expecting me, immediately ran the diagnostic, and identified that the DEF fluid was just low! He filled it, ran the diagnostic again, and sent me on my way. Would absolutely recommend this place if you have a Sprinter or fleet vehicle that needs serviced. Trustworthy, fast, price was right, and knowledgeable staff.

Great no frills shop!Took the advice of others and took my van into Sprinter Pitstop for a 75k mike service. which is fairly in depth on a sprinter. They had me in and out in the same day at a very reasonable rate.Go to a place that knows sprinters like the back of their hand, not theses dealerships that hardly even know how to work on their own vans.

Tim & the guys at Sprinter Pitstop are awesome. They really know their stuff when it comes to vans & are very fair in the prices they charge. I took my van in to be fixed after Uhaul messed up the wiring on it & Tim was able to find the solution, part & fix it immediately. Definitely wish I would have just went to him first. If you’re looking for a shop that knows what they are doing & will not rip you off, I definitely recommend sprinter pitstop!!!

Had a few mechanics tell me I needed to completely replace the turbo in my Mercedes Sprinter. Bids were as high as $4000. Called Sprinter Pitstop and Tim said most dont know what they are looking at and asked that I bring it in. He was right. Didnt need to replace the turbo. Just fix some gaskets. Literally saved me thousands of dollars. These guys know know sprinters!

Tim and his crew did an awesome job on my 06 T1N, I thought it had an exhaust manifold gasket leak that turned into a cracked cylinder head! Tim was able to get the parts and finish my van in a really short time. He explained everything in detail, did what they said they would do and I was back on the road. My van runs perfect and is like new again with 340,000 miles on it. I will definitely be bringing it back to Tim when it needs major work. I would recommend Tim to anyone that has a Sprinter!

Review №42

I travelled from out of town to buy my 06 Sprinter from here. Because I was from out of town I was kind of in a rush and ended up driving away with it without giving them a chance to fix the A/C system. They told me that if I bring it back theyll fix it free of charge. Well, two years later I realized I had forgotten to get it done. I asked them if they would still honor it, and they did, free of charge! I now have cold AC for the first time since buying this van two years ago. They also did a free inspection of my van and gave me suggestions of work I should get done. If thats not a sign of an honest mechanic I dont know what is. Im stoked to own my sprinter and even more stoked to know that if something ever goes wrong I have somewhere I can take it that I trust.

Review №43

Recently brought my 2016 4x4 sprinter van to Sprinter Pitstop (SP) after a local tire shop accidentally damaged my roof (in their rack) during the service. In the past, I’ve used SP for impeccable mechanical service but never thought of using them for body work until now. Actually, I came to find out that many body shops can’t fit a sprinter in their paint bay - so this made SP an even more logical choice. Long story short, SP knocked it out of the park! Repaired the damage perfectly and it’s always a pleasure to do business with Tim and/or Andrew! If you have a sprinter and want the best service, definitely go and see them. Their shop isn’t fancy, and although they don’t have a picturesque waiting room, they are experts and execute to the highest standards!

Cant say enough good things about Tim and his awesome team here at Sprinter Pitstop. Brought in our 04 Sprinter with a turbo issue that no one had been able to figure out until we got here.

Trustworthy, reliable, and downright professionals at what they do, Sprinter Pitstop is hands down the only place to bring your Sprinter in Southern California... possibly the entire country.

Honestly the most trustworthy auto shop owner I’ve ever met. Purchased a 2012 Sprinter from the owner, Tim. Fair deal and really accommodating and easy to work with. Received a 45 day warranty. Had a trouble code on day 44, on short notice had the van looked at with absolutely no hassle. Minor fix was attempted and the code went away. Several months later same code returned. With no questions asked, was able to make an appointment within a few days and the warranty was honored (as the code was first discovered within the warranty period) and the repair was completed within hours of dropping my van off with no charge to me. Will only come here to get work done on my Sprinter. EXCELLENT customer service.

Tim is an awesome person. I bought a sprinter in 2016, and I really wanted to find someone local who could help me care for the vehicle. I found Tim online and I called him, and he answered and talked me through how his services work for maintaining a sprinter. Ever since, he has been a joy to work with - - he is always available to answer your call, his hours are super flexible, his fees are very reasonable, and most importantly, he does great work. He has a very awesome new space as well that he is building out to make his service offerings even better than before. I cannot say enough good things about Tim and his ability to maintain and repair your Sprinter.

I’d looked at a number of vans before finding the Sprinter Pitstop. There was a wide variety of vehicles, a selection of prices, and a 45-day warranty. Tim was awesome! I bought a super clean 2006 Sprinter, which ended up needing a quick repair, which was 100% covered. He took care of it fast and got me back on my way.Check this place out!

Review №59

Came to Tim after working with another sprinter repair business who failed to correct my dpf issues. The previous business did not fully communicate the potential reasons why my sprinter kept going into limp home mode, but still charged me without fully fixing the issue. Tim immediately identified some components that weren’t quite right and ran me through a few options for repairs. I’m super grateful because I had a long distance trip to SF planned for Christmas. Having no power up the steep roads in SF would have been a nightmare! Thankfully, my sprinter drove amazing and my check engine light hasn’t come back since thanks to Sprinter Pitstop! I’ll be going back for future maintenance.**Update, my check engine light is back on after about a month. I am being told I may need to replace my DPF filter, hopefully can get this issue resolved soon!***As of 6/16 my sprinter has been running great. I just got back from a 4 state road trip. Thanks Sprinter Pitstop!

After about 40 hours of my own time, I gave up with an electrical problem and took it to the local dealer. The dealership gave up and pointed to an aftermarket wall-panel installation I had completed as the source of the problem. After another 10 hours of troubleshooting and verifying all the lines the dealership called into question I took the van to Tim. This was a tough one and he said took his team 25 hours but they located the problem and repaired it all for the flat diagnosis fee + parts/repair time. Many thanks and Ill be back for other aftermarket jobs. Thank you!

Sprinter Pitstop is the only place in San Diego to take your sprinter. Tim and his team are great at what they do. They are friendly, competitively priced and they get the job done right the first time. We brought our sprinter with high miles and a load of issues in and Sprinter Pitstop was able to get the job done for a fair rate, without wasting our time. Weve since been back and forth across the country multiple times, and have yet to find a mechanic that compares. If you want a knowledgeable, honest, sprinter mechanic, that has the skill to get the job done, go to Sprinter Pitstop.Insta _zachandbri_

Tim’s probably the first honest mechanic that I’ve run into... I tried 3 Sprinter shops in LA but ultimately had my sprinter towed from LA to the Sprinter Pitstop, and am so glad I did.

Review №65

Me and my wife bought an 06 T1n from Tim and convertered it a year ago and it has been a super reliable vehicle and home for us over the last 11 months. As first time sprinter buyers we were nervous about spending so much money on a vehicle but Tims professionalism and honesty, along with the excellent 45 day warranty, reassured us that we made the right decision. We found some rust issues under the subfloor which werent visible upon purchase and had a waterpump leak in the 45 day period and both were rectified and covered by Tim even though we live out of state from his shop. A year and 20,000 miles later we are still driving smooth and have had zero problems since . Highly recommended!

Update Below:Do not take your Sprinter anywhere else if you are in the San Diego area if you are out of warranty!I have referred many Sprinter owners to Sprinter Pitstop and they have all been amazed by the service, honesty, and integrity of the work. Some have gone in for custom sprinter build-outs, vanlifers, to service on their out of warranty Airstreams and Winnebagos. They have all thanked me personally for the referral, in the words of one why go anywhere elseOn my end, after thousands of dollars of overpriced work at Sprinter Mercedes of San Diego, I was delaying needed repair work fearing the dealership prices. My price from the dealership was going to be thousands, Tim was amazing. Work was done timely and invoice very fair.Great to find a great company to support. I was travelling the west coast this fall for two months Seattle, San Fran, Salt Lake City and could not find a decent non-dealership repair shop. San Diego is lucky to have this Sprinter Pitstop and Tim.2020 Spring UpdateAhh- the dreaded 100,000 mile plus sprinter service. If you want a sprinter to go to 250k miles it has to be done but it is expensive. No way to avoid it.Just received my 100k plus sprinter back from full-service with a bunch of other items that needed to be done. It was not a small project. Tim and his team did a great job. Sprinter drives great now. Too many things were fixed to list.Considering all the work that was done, prices were reasonable and timely.Couldnt have imagined the bill at Mercedes of San Diego.Ready for summer road trips!

This is hands down the best shop in Southern California for sprinter vans. I see some reviews complaining the shop is small but its perfect for what they do and they can do everything out of that shop that your van could ever need. Tim and his guys are extremely accommodating and helpful. They know every inch of these vans inside and out. I dont think theres anything they cant do there. I drive all the way from orange county to san diego for these guys. I wouldnt trust anyone else with my van. I purchased my van from tim and it was the smoothest process ive ever had buying a vehicle and everytime i need something done to it he is extremely quick, knowledgeable, personable, and fair. Thanks tim for the all the help and letting me and my dog hangout at the shop while you work on my van! I will be back again in the future forsure

Review №78

Tim at Sprinter Pitstop is a master of Sprinter vans. I had brought my Sprinter to two different mechanics to diagnose a squealing noise from under the vehicle. The first wanted to replace the entire linkage and quoted me $6000. The second mechanic had no idea. Tim was able to figure out that it was the driveshaft and gave me a very reasonable price to replace it. He also helped me get it ready for sale, and was able to find a leaky turbo, replaced the seals, and after the vehicle averaged 21+mpgs. It was so refreshing to find a good dependable mechanic, and working with Tim is a first class experience. Thanks again Tim!

Review №81

Bought a 2005 Sprinter from Tim after doing a lot of shopping around. Paid more than the average Craigslist price but got a van with a newly rebuilt transmission that was reliably serviced, had minimal rust and has been running great since we bought it. Sprinter Pit Stop is definitely a no-frills place, but Tim and his team know their stuff and are way more affordable than dealers. The 45 day warranty was only a verbal one, but Tim honored it fixing a few minor things for us when we got back from our first trip. Tim certainly knows sprinters and I feel confident about the van he sold us and the servicing he provides.UPDATE - We bought our van almost a year ago from Tim at Sprinter Pitstop. We have been back to Tim for a few repairs including servicing the newly replaced transmission which he did not charge us for. I highly recommend buying and servicing your sprinter at sprinter pitstop.

LOYAL and HONEST. I have recommended Tim to a number of people and everyone has been extremely happy with their buy. I purchased a 2008 Dodge Sprinter 2500 from Tim in February. My boyfriend and I are renovating it to travel the US. When we bought it we didn’t realize that the back door latches did not connect because they were bent from the previous owners. We texted Tim and he said it’s not under our warranty but bring it in anyway and he will see what he can do. He fixed it for us! We are so grateful for his loyalty to his customers!After, we drove across the country (6000 miles). One day we felt a jolt and then our transmission would not shift out of first gear. We brought it to the nearest Aamco and they quoted us $850 for the fix. Realizing we were still under warranty (10k miles for power train), I texted Tim a picture of the quote and explained what happened. WITHIN MINUTES, he agreed to what aamco diagnostic was and shipped out all the parts were needed to fix our transmission. He also told us that Aamco was over charging us a lot! So we decided to go elsewhere for the labor. If we were in San Diego at his shop he would have done the labor too! We are so happy that Tim is loyal enough to adhere to the warranty even tho we are 2500 miles away!I would 100% recommend the sprinter pitstop to everyone. Best prices, honest workers and if he doesn’t have what you are looking for in a sprinter he will find it for you!

Saved me a huge hastle on spotting a bad wiring harness rather than swapping parts uselessly. Thanks again!
