I'm Neil Daly, proud owner of Oceanside Motorsports. Our shop is a technician's shop- I made expertise and excellence the backbone of our business in 2010 when we first opened shop and I still hold those same core values today. Has it worked? I think so. If you measure success in the every-day, the familiar faces, the smiles and satisfaction from new friends coming from all over North County, then without a doubt.

A car's engine is the "heart" of the vehicle and needs to be maintained with proper levels of motor oil. The purpose of motor oil is to lubricate the engine, clean engine debris, protect the engine, cool and sometimes restore engine performance. Fundamentally, the lubrication of engine parts including the pistons allows parts to move fluidly without metal meeting metal inside the engine.
The state of California requires car owners to pass a smog inspection every two years on most original registrations and on any additional registration renewal. You should receive a notice from the DMV indicating when this test must be completed by. Oceanside Motorsports is a certified smog check station in Oceanside, Ca.
A wheel alignment makes sure all 4 tires are perfectly moving in the same direction. The most common reason for investing in an alignment is to make your tires last as long as possible. Good tires can go 60k miles if your alignment is strait but with an alignment out of spec those tires could wear out in less than 10,000 miles.

I've been an OMS customer for many years. They've serviced my BMW and Volvo when either general maintenance or more complicated problems arise. They have proven to me that their knowledge and know how is among the best, often better than local dealerships which have failed me with incorrect analysis, where OMS will take the extra effort to find the correct and logical solutions. I'm pretty much a lifer with them as long as I have a vehicle they will service.

Have been here 4 times now. 2 times with each car. Alex knows what she is talking about when it comes to common problems on given generations of BMWs.

The pictures from each inspection are great and helpful for understanding problems.

The wash and drop off and pickup from home is an added bonus.

Asked them to diagnose some fault codes I was getting. Unfortunately there were too many variables at play to completely diagnose the issue (bad injectors, oil leaks etc..) so they gave me a level 2 inspection free of charge which highlighted issues that need attention.

It’s so nice to find a shop like OMS to care for our cars. We have been taking our cars to Oceanside Motorsports for a few years now. They have performed routine maintenance as well as repairs and we couldn’t be happier with the service! The staff is always professional and the general vibe around the shop is that of teamwork. They all seem to enjoy what they do and really take an extra step toward outstanding customer service. Neil and his team do a thorough job checking out our vehicles for items of concern before there is a real problem. They include details and photos of their findings

I drive in all the way from rainbow to get my maintenance done on my 2015 335i. I love the experience at this shop. Quick and easy drop off, the shop management system lets me see pictures of anything that comes up during inspections, and these guys are super knowledgeable when it comes to BMWs. I love my car and want to keep it running forever and these guys are certainly helping me do that.

I drive nearly an hour to visit OMS simply because they’re the best. It’s tough finding a shop you trust, especially with European cars.
I unfortunately needed a new transmission a few months back due to a reverse synchro failure. They felt my pain and really did extensive inspections to see if it was repairable, some on Neil’s dime, before buying a whole new unit.
They’re honest experts I’d recommend to anyone! Appreciate you guys!

I don’t drive 40 miles to OMS because it’s convenient, I drive 40 miles to OMS because they’re the best.
In the 10 years that I’ve been taking my e30’s to Neil, I’ve seen his business grow into the most professional, friendly and fun team around. Like seriously, can I work there too? Or just come hang out every single day?
Every staff member is knowledgeable, thorough and honest. And they’re patient with me, the most finicky of customers.

I've taken my Q5 to Oceanside Motorsports for 3 years now taking full advantage of their Lifetime Member Oil Change Service! They accomplish a thorough vehicle inspection every time and even provide me with the report and PHOTOS!

The Team at OMS is super friendly, they'll call me an Uber if the work they are doing will take awhile and their overall positive attitude and clean working environment makes them a pleasure to do business with!

The bane of owning a car and not working on it yourself it finding a shop that is honest and genuinely wants to help you. Ever since my first contact with this shop, Megan, Chris, Neil were all extremely friendly, polite, respectful, and helpful. They provided a courtesy inspection complete with pictures that was organized and helped me to prioritize what sort of work needs to done. Neil spent over a half hour talking to me about my car, which work I should be able to DIY, and what benefits there would be if I went with their shop, without any pressure. I wish they were closer to where I lived

OMS is a high level automotive repair shop that provides great automotive service as well as wonderful customer service. Neil and crew do excellent work and stand by everything they do with a true lifetime warranty (ask about it) and the resources to get the work done correctly. I'll say that again, they have the resources to get the work done correctly. There's a pickup and drop off service that can really help. They appear able to meet most any customer need. Just let them know your situation. Their estimates are based on an honest look at the repairs needed using years of experience

These guys are the best! Johnny gave me a ride to work after I dropped off my car. Austin (the cutest ) set me up with a personalized maintenance plan for my 328i and Zach got it done all with in the week. I had owned the car for about 3 years and I had done nothing but oil changes so after taking it to the dealer, they told me I needed over $10k worth of work. I love the car but I was hesitant to spend $10k on a 7 year old car with only a 12k mike 12 month warranty. Neil went above and beyond to not only beat the dealers price substantially but also offer and lifetime warranty on all the work

Oceanside Motorsports was recommended by TNT (also 5 star) across the street. I had done minor damage to my front bumper on a one year old Mercedes. I wasn't even sure a service shop would tackle this issue. Austin want above and beyond in every way. The issue was resolved and at the low end of price estimate. They even washed and vacuumed the car. My maintenance is included in my lease so sadly I wont see them often. I will however highly recommend them to any German auto owner I know.

I cannot say enough of this place, I have never trusted a mechanic until now. Neil is incredibly kind and helpful, and was very honest with me. I had my Xterra serviced there for a check engine light regarding my throttle body, Neil admitted he didn't know too much about the Xterra, but knew what to do and fixed my issue. They also do a very comprehensive inspection after each service, with pictures! They are very transparent, and that's very rare these days. I live in Poway, but I am more than willing to make the drive to have my vehicles serviced there. The complementary hand wash at

I've been bringing my BMW X5 and M5 here for inspections and repairs over the past couple of years and have had positive experiences each time. My cars have had work done at dealerships and other independent shops and I'll say the work at Oceanside Motorsports is top notch. In addition, their pricing is fair and they give you a nice, clear summary and scorecard after each service....including pictures. Their shuttle service and car detailing are also huge pluses. They also have complimentary water, soda, coffee and sometimes cookies.

Niel and the rest of the guys at Oceanside Motorsports are amazing. Professional and honest. Most recently I went to Niel for a second opinion on an AC repair my dealer was quoting me. Bob Baker diagnosed a problem with my AC Compressor estimated at more than $1,000. Having had bad experiences with Bob Baker in the past, I went to OMS to have them look at it. They performed a complete check up on my Grand Cherokee and isolated the problem to the AC Condenser instead. They fixed it at a fraction of the cost and even came to the house to swap out my car with a loaner.

After nearly 150000 miles of fluid changes and OEM service intervals, I finally decided to breathe some new life into my E46. I owe thanks to the guys at OMS for helping me keep my car ready for whatever I put it through. They have a very no nonsense approach for getting the job done and never tried to throw me through a loop. This is a place where you get what you pay for, get it done right the first time, and don't have to worry about returning with reoccurring issues. I can drop my car off to their garage in the morning, pick it up in the afternoon and be redlining in the mountains that

Good mechanics? Yes. Ethical and fair with pricing? Not in my opinion.

I went there a while back to have them replace my starter. First off, they charge almost $150 to $200 to diagnose. Then they mark up their parts by more than double and try to convince you it's worth it because they are OEM parts. Bottom line is most good mechanics use OEM parts so that's misleading to begin with. Secondly, they tell you they provide a lifetime warranty. Also misleading because they don't put this on their invoice and no one can provide lifetime warranty on parts. They are only referring to

First let me begin with the customer service that you will receive here is outstanding!! I'm a huge believer in first impressions and you get what you paid for. With that said, I'll start with Brian at the front desk. He's the kind of guy that you need at every front desk. He kept me informed about all the repairs that my car needed and recommended the right things.

I recently took in my Saab 9-5 for a coolant leak and being that my car is over 200k miles of course it would have other issues. The coolant leak issue was resolved in no time and the work is perfect. They even washed
