Less than 1/2 the price of the dealer!
I called German Auto Center after getting a quote from the dealer and they quoted me less than half. They had my car ready the next day and allowed me to pick it up after hours. They made everything so easy and painless. I will be taking my car back for all my repair and service needs of my BMW.

Thank you!

Top-Notch Service
German Auto Center is a true gem! I've been taking my German-engineered car here for years, and they consistently provide top-notch service. The service writers are incredibly professional and, more importantly, extremely knowledgeable. They take the time to explain the issues clearly, answer all my questions patiently, and never try to upsell me on unnecessary repairs. The technicians are equally impressive. Their expertise in diagnosing and performing repairs on my complex vehicle is evident. I always leave knowing the job was done right and my car is in excellent hands. Highly recommend German Auto Center to anyone looking for reliable, honest, and high-quality service for their German automobile.

Excellent service!
My car had a sudden coolant leak. They were able to fix the problem and I got the car back the next day. It is reassuring to know that there is a place so close to my home that I can trust with my repair needs.

3rd time back to German Auto
Bert tried to keep the cost down, and the accessory belt was squeaking after a new belt install. He had 2 pulley's replaced, after one day the squeaking started again. I called he said they shimmed it and did not have to replace the 3 rd Pulley. I left a and a few days later the squeaking returned. Today bringing the car back, I will be asking for the shim.
I have experienced uber cost of $75.00 to and from the shop.
I live in lemon grove and work at Naval Base Point Loma, so the shop is convient when i am working.
I was off work for several weeks and had to use uber to get home and leave the car.

Really amazing electrical troubleshooting!
I love my 2008 VW R32, but it's ALWAYS been very slow-cranking...and I've had it for 5 years. (Recently, I even had to get a jump-start.) Several times, I'd asked the VW dealership to check into this, and the dealership could never find the cause. I'd had the dealership change the hi-amp fuses and the battery, but for various reasons I quit going to the VW service center two years ago. I was trying to fix this issue when I asked German Auto Center to put a new alternator on the car. But Bert offered to diagnose what the dealership could not...and he identified the problem that same day. It was a just faulty battery cable, and he saved me a lot of money by simply changing the cable. If I had installed a new alternator, I'd still have the problem...and I'd be out a lot of money. Now, the car starts up better than it EVER has--and it sounds just like a new car. I'm really glad I listened to Bert!

Unexpected emergency service
I had an unfortunate electrical/power failure with my Audi. German Auto Center was able to quickly squeeze me in on their busy schedule, diagnose my issue and fix it in less than 24-hours. The speedy service saved me very valuable time and eliminated a lot of uncertainty. No surprises. Thanks for genuine care and service with no sales-job at the time of diagnosis.
