Bryan and Dan are amazing! There's no place I'd trust for the servicing of my exotics but Exotic Specialty Services. They are very knowledgeable, capable and reasonable.

Very knowledgeable mechanics that are willing to answer every question you have. I will be going back to this place for all of my McClaren maintenance.

Exotic Specialty Services is everything you would expect out of dealer service, but from a small business owner. Their technicians are highly experienced and do a great job, but make sure to schedule through an appointment as they are not heavily staffed. Again, great quality of work - highly recommend!

Best Exotic shop in the business and they specialize in McLarens! Nice to have a shop that knows what they are talking about and just another "tuner shop". And they even offer paint protection film installation which is a huge bonus as well!

I took my mclaren 570gt key here to get programmed. With only one key, I was very concerned with losing it and having to shell out 8k+ for a new key system if I lost it. I was able to find a key from a local guy with a different part number from my original key. My research online told me that any 570s/720s should work but apparently that's not true. I brought this key to ESS program, they spent almost an hour trying to program it unsuccessfully but did not charge me. I was going to take it to a dealer, which would of charged me one hour of service regardless if the key worked or not. I found another key on mclarenlife with the same prefix part number as my current key. This time they were able to program it and only charged me for a fraction of the price of what the dealer would or charged me to program a key. If you want to money on mclaren services, these are your guys.

ESS performed major surgery on my McLaren 570s and I don't think I could have had a better experience. The job was to diagnose & fix a burning coolant problem which O'Gara of Beverly Hills thought required a complete engine replacement. But after Dan's investigation, it ended up just needing head gaskets and some machine shop work. This required an engine pull, so it's certainly beyond your "regular" McLaren maintenance. Instead of being stuck with a $65k engine replacement from O'Gara, ESS helped resolve the issue for a fraction of that price. Dan and Bryan were communicative throughout the process, humored me with the details I was seeking, and were all-around great folks to work with. I couldn't hold my two thumbs any higher in the air.

I have known Brian for some time now and as expected, he delivers superb personal service to his customers, trust worthy, and his work speaks for itself. He communicates very well with frequent updates and gives an honest opinion if something is not worth it. He serviced by McLaren 650S, repainted my rotors the right way, upgraded skid plates, etc. and the car runs better than ever! Trust is hard to come by these days and Exotic Specialty Services has my trust. I highly recommend him and will come back to him when the time comes.

This is the shop to be at if you are an exotic car owner. They are experts and can work on everything from Mclarens to Ferraris to even an ordinary Porsche Cayenne. Bryan, Dan and team are the most professional, honest, caring, fair and capable car specialist that I know. I am so happy to know them and would recommend them to any car enthusiast. They do everything from factory maintenance to modifications to full restorations. Carbon fiber experts and renown Ferrari sticky button experts. If you need anything please do not hesitate to give them a call. They will take great care of you and your pride and joy.

I am so impressed with Bryan and Team at Exotic Specialty Services! Along with being able to save me thousands of dollars, Bryan kept me in the loop constantly. He also kept to his pricing and time frame which isn’t always easy to do. Thank you Bryan!

Need a reliable shop for your exotic car without all the fluff? You have found it! I found that the guys here are hard core car guys that see the job through and know more about the cars than the dealership you bought it from...

One of the problems of owning an exotic sports car is finding a trustworthy shop for the dreaded annual service, repair, or aftermarket upgrades. My stock 2013 Mclaren 12C spider is already a great sounding car with factory sports exhaust but I'm one of those guys who is always looking for a little extra performance edge and better sound. Not wanting to pay full labor rate $190/hour (ouch!) at McLaren dealership, I found a perfect shop in Exotic Specialty Services to install my Fabspeed Supersport X-Pipe exhaust system. My car sounds amazing now after the upgrade with much more aggressive tone and extra power to boot. I got to know Bryan (owner) when he was the service manager at McLaren Newport Beach and he took great care of my car during annual service or warranty repairs. He always kept me informed on work progress with texts and photos. I was excited to find out he has since opened up his own shop in Huntington Beach and most importantly having a McLaren factory trained technician working on my car! Bryan is very friendly and knowledgeable car enthusiast (he drives an Audi R8) and he knows what all exotic car owners are looking for their pride and joy - experienced technicians, excellent customer service all at a very competitive price (trust me you don't pay dealership rates there). I am sure I will be back at Exotic Specialty Services for more upgrades and services on my Mac before long. You will not be disappointed if quality work with great value are what you are looking for.David P.

My time working with Bryan dates back to his days at McLaren, Lamborghini Newport Beach. Since then, he has built out an impressive service offering of vehicle performance upgrades, enhancements, track prep, maintenance, and restorative services from everyday use of these cars under his new brand.Expect treatment of your car to go above and beyond any dealership or performance shop you've worked with before.Bryan works diligently behind the scenes to keep his communication channels open and ensure highest quality work on a timely basis. The ease of mind of having your car in the hands of highly capable and care-taking individuals is worth the experience of working with Bryan and his team.Services I've had completed at ESS:- McLaren steering wheel trim swap;- McLaren euro-spec side marker reflector swap;- McLaren custom front skid plate install;- Fabspeed downpipes and ECU tune;- Carbon fiber rear diffuser and bumper repairThanks again Bryan
