Thorough, quick, excellent shop. I don t trust anyone else with my classic European suspension and alignments. When I learned they re a full service shop that also covers my daily driver Audi, I was so relieved. Their team is meticulous, transparent with all their estimates and costs, and carefully documents all recommendations. If there is additional work recommended, they can provide photos and explanations of why that work needs to be done and realistic priorities of how urgent the work is. It s one of the more efficient and honest shops so that you can be assured the work being done is actually required and will keep your vehicle in good shape.As an added bonus, the shop is very women-friendly. I ve never been talked down to, pressured into work, treated as difficult , or offered anything less than the respect that a high-level shop should offer all their customers.Services: Steering & suspension repair, Wheel alignment

The best service and knowledgeable staff is at Prova Motorsports. Chris has always taken excellent care of my older BMW and just recently I had two rear wheel bearing replaced and an alignment done. As always, the car was very well taken care of, the work done was excellent, and the price was exactly what was quoted. Chris is a huge automotive enthusiast. He makes car guys and gals alike feel comfortable and takes his time explaining what he will be doing, and for the non enthusiast he will make you feel reassured he will have your vehicle back on the road in no time. If you need anything done, from wondering why your check engine light is on, to mounting and balancing new tires, to building a fully prepped race car, Chris and the team at Prova Motorsports will take care of you.

I'm out of state but was looking into purchasing a Ferrari based in Bellevue. I worked with Chris and Prova to get a third party PPI for the car.Chris and his team were able to get me into an inspection the next day and were incredible to work with and went super deep on the inspection. Wish I lived nearby so I could service my cars with them. Highly recommendService: Auto engine diagnostic

I took my classic British car to PROVA at the appointed time, and Chris shop began immediately to assess what was needed and began to remedy the alignment, steering, and bearing problems. They explained every step that was taken and showed me the fixes applied to the front end. The mechanics explained what I could do for better performance and had me on the road in the timeliest manner. I have nothing but praise for the workmanship, honesty, and friendliness of this business. This group exudes trust.

Chris at Prova Motorsports is my go-to guy when I have ANY problems with my car. In fact, he should be everyone's go-to guy if they have an issue with their vehicle. He's everything you want in a mechanic: honest, straight forward, affordable and an all-around great guy. Super accommodating staff that always goes above and beyond when repairing my car. I highly recommend this place!

I have been a client of Chris Benny for 13 years. (Since back before he started Prova.) During that time, he has worked on my 71 Alfa GT Junior, my 73 Porsche 911, and most recently my 65 Triumph TR4. From alignment, suspension work, brake work, tuning, restoration help, his work has been consistently thorough and excellent in every way.His integrity and knowledge, coupled with his commitment to making sure his customers are happy makes PROVA a unique and valuable resource in Seattle. I trust Chris with my cars and he earns my business every time.

I am not one to write reviews, but have been having must share experiences with Prova. Recently, I got lucky fitting our Audi for an appointment to put on snow tires before a last minute weekend trip to the mountains. Not only did I feel very welcomed and comfortable in a setting that is clean, quiet, and super groovy - compared to any other places I've been to before - but the service was quick and minutes from home. Chris also discovered and fixed a flaw in one of the tires that was forgotten about by Les Schwab Tires a year ago and would have caused a flat tire.Many don't realize that Prova does full service on ALL cars & daily drivers not just European & high performance. It's so convenient to drop off a car minutes from home and feels good supporting a local business.Prova is highly skilled, flexible and accommodating. They saved our weekend in the snow and I'm looking forward to turning to Prova for any future servicing not just for our 1965 Buick Riviera but also for Audi.Thank you for your amazing and hard work Prova!

Chris Benny is an excellent technician but where he really stands out in the automotive industry is his commitment to customer service. He has taken care of several of my BMWs and our family SUV over the past eight years. His range of talents is everything from a routine oil change to setting up a race car, though he is noted for his skill in car alignment. And his new shop Prova is set up to do just about anything!Today Chris went out of his way to help me by installing new tires, wheels, wheel studs and brake pads only BMW M3. And this is just about a week after having hernia surgery. My appointment was for tomorrow but he squeezed me in so I could attend a track event.I have total confidence in Chris' ability, honesty and integrity. And his fees are reasonable.

Prova is the best. Chris and the entire staff know what they are doing and are trustworthy. Only person I would have work on my car. Pricing is reasonable. Always cool cars to check out when you drop your car off or pick it up.

Known Chris for longer than I d like to admit, and he is the best alignment/suspension expert I have ever met. He took my 911 to the next level of handling, braking, and reliability and truly made it an into exceptional example. No snob, he is now undertaking a full rebuild and upgrade of my Camaro engine and drivetrain. Highly recommend Prova to any enthusiast in the Seattle area.

When I first contacted Chris he was personable and excited to work with me to install and adjust new KW Coilovers suspension on my 2018 BMW M240iI paid over a thousand dollars for the install included all needed adjustments to get it right. He also said that I could get my wheels and tires through him as well so I ordered them with him. His job was to measure the offset and dimensions that would maximize the space with the new suspension. The front came in OK but the back was off so I then spent more money to order spacers to make it right. When I picked it up he said to let him know if it wasn't right. Just on the drive home I could tell it was pretty bad! Called and then had to drop it off AGAIN and have someone shuttle me back to snohomish(an hour away). After picking it up it was immediately clear that the suspension wasn't right and Chris assured me he would make it right, and even mentioned meeting at the track to tune the suspension. He said he would research the set up and get back with me. He didn't. It took me a couple emails and call to finally reach Chris. He apologized and again reassured me he would make it right and get back with me. Now I haven't heard from him in 5 months! Several emails and multiple voice messages and he is abandoning the completion. The suspension and wheels and tires ran me $10,000 and the instal nearly $1500. It was never right and now its in the shop at BMW of Bellevue where they are trying to figure out what he did. My sensors are all bad too now. Very disappointed!!!Service: Steering & suspension repair

Great place; friendly people, lots of very high quality parts available, and best of all, rapid fast service. My parts were ready within an hour of calling. Will definitely be going back!

Treadwear had led me to suspect an alignment issue with my Panamera, even though the car still seemed to handle fine. But after Chris did a 4-way alignment on it: WOW...it tracks so perfectly now, it's like I'm steering it with telepathy. It's better than when I bought the car. The downside is that now I don't want to stop driving.

Google is asking me for my thoughts on Prova Motorsports. There was a time before Google reviews when people knew where the good repair shops were. That still exists today. Prova Motorsports is one of those shops. Prova doesn't need a Google review, but here is mine. Five stars

I drove up to Seattle from Tacoma, during rush hour traffic, to have the car aligned. Chris did a terrific job, is friendly, knowledgeable and obliging. l'll continue to bring my classic mini to Prova Mororsport.

Currently getting my 1973 BMW 2002tii restored at Prova Motorsport. These guys do fantastic work. Any work like this is not going to be cheap but they have been quite efficient and I have been happy with the results so far!

I was in a bind and needed an alignment on my Porsche 928 last Friday before heading on a cross country trip. Chris was able to fit me in and the car drives incredible now.

Had Prova mount and balance new tires on my extra set of Porsche 997 wheels. They did a perfect job with wide 19" wheels and a year later they're still rolling straight.
