Pinnacle Auto Repair is a locally owned European auto repair shop in Lake Forest, CA — dealership-quality service for BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, and MINI, without the dealership price tag.
Our roots are in endurance road racing — the same family runs Lang Racing Development, two doors down at 22512 Aspan St, building race engines and prepping cars for the track. Pinnacle exists so that same engineering standard shows up in everyday service: honest diagnostics, OEM parts, factory-approved procedures, and straight answers. Race prep and performance work stays at Lang; keeping your daily driver perfect is what Pinnacle is for.
Certified technicians with decades of combined European experience, including dealer backgrounds.
BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, VW, MINI. Specialization is why diagnosis is fast and repairs stick.
Clear estimates, photos of what we find, and no work without your approval.
The people who will actually work on your car.
Shop Manager
Your first call at the shop. Twenty years in the car business — sales, service writing, dealership service management. Ken books the work, orders the parts and arranges pickups and drop-offs.
Technician
Our resident BMW expert, with more than 35 years in the trade. Thang looks at the whole car, not just the complaint, and recommends what genuinely needs doing — staggering work to suit your budget rather than fixing everything at once.
