This shop is exactly fitting of the very positive reviews. They were clear, made appointments, drop off and pickup convenient, were transparent about services needed and those that were optional, and completed the work in a timely fashion. They were professional and fairly priced, and I will be using them again!

New to the area and selected this shop based on Google reviews, I am happy I did. The team is very courteous and professional and does not try to upsell you on things that are unnecessary. I have visited the shop 3 times for different things; their prices are reasonable and the quality of service is superb. Highly recommend.

Honest and fair priced. They Called to define diagnostics with costs of repairs, prior to doing work to obtain approval; and again when work was completed. I Traveled 120 miles to go there on recommendations of some friends, was well worth the trip and time. Will be going back for any repairs in the future!

I love this car repair place! It is easy to schedule an appointment and they always complete the repairs in the time quoted. They make sure to keep me informed about everything. They also follow up by text when you need to schedule another appointment. I have referred them to a lot of friends and family! I love having a car repair place I can trust, thank you!

I had the greatest experience working with everyone at German Car Repair! They were professional, kind, incredibly efficient and just overall a joy to work with. Unexpected car repairs are no fun but they made it so much easier than I expected. I will be back for all future work my VW needs!

Being a classic BMW enthusiast for decades, and owning several of them, it is a blessing to have Alan Kidson and Michael Spooner at German Car Repair. There is no one else in our region who has the acumen, and enthusiasm for classic German cars that they do. As vintage BMW owners themselves, they fully understand what it takes to keep our old cars running perfectly. GCR is an immaculate, well managed shop with very talented, enthusiastic employees who really like what they do and it shows in how they interact with customers. The bottom line is the quality of their work, and it continually exceeds my expectations. My most recent service was a rebuild of my 85 European M635CSi engine. It is a complex, high performance engine that is a challenge to set right, and it now runs as new. German Car Repair is a trustworthy, first class operation in every regard and if you have a classic or modern German performance car you will not be disappointed .

GCR provides exceptional service alongside elevated customer service ( Mark is awesome!) and quick turnaround times.I’ve taken my 05’ 330i here for radiator maintenance and they were able to replace the entire system in one business day.Prices here are much better than most dealers and they even give you a list of preventative maintenance items for the future. Definitely will take my car here and here only in future.

Thanks so much to GCR for the exceptional service on my Audi A4. My car broke down while on vacation in Blue Ridge, and they were able to fix it when no one else could. I had a clutch burn up and die in the mountains and now my car drives better than new. Everything was handled very professionally while 100% remote / over the phone. I want to thank everyone there at GCR for a job well done. They even got me in contact with an excellent auto transport company to get my car back home to Florida. I highly recommend their services.

I brought my car in for a pre-purchase inspection. They did a thorough job and provided me with a detailed report that covered everything. The staff made me feel comfortable and I am confident they do excellent work based on my experience here. Additionally, they came as a recommendation from another German Car specialist. They are know for being one of the best shops in the area. GCR will get my business anytime I need work done on my vehicle.

I have been using GCR for the last 5 years for out two BMWs( X5 and 528i ). GCR provides quality service at reasonable price and also the front desk personnel ( I usually deal with Mark) are very knowledgeable to explain the details of repair ( cost of parts, labor and time line) so one can plan the visit and schedule it to have a pleasant experience.

I took my car to Mavis where they tried to fast talk me into buying a new alternator even though I had replaced that last year and it was still under their warranty. I took my car to German Car Repair and was greeted right away. Very professional, courteous service. Even the owner makes himself available talk to. While at Mavis, I would have to call from their lobby because no one would come out to greet/help. Only go to German Car Repair! You will be so pleased you did.

Highly recommended.Very honest - when I called about the issue with my BMW, they told me to first contact BMW because the issue might be under warranty, which means I dont have to pay anything.After taking my car there, they explained the issue and fixed it very quickly, also making sure I dont have the same problem again, and the price was very fair compared to other places. Will definitely go there again.

German Car Repair has been servicing my ‘86 BMW 535 for the last 4 years. It is not a high value car. I drive 40 minutes, one way, because they’re so good. Very clean shop, great at communication, and they have never surprised me with an “unexpected issues”.

Review №35

The team did a great job with my car and made sure they only did what was necessary. After thinking I had a faulty battery, they were able to confirm that my battery was healthy and did not need replacement that I was fully expecting to have to be done. Also was surprised to hear that my rear brakes were at 80% and did not require maintenance. Both the rear brakes and battery are original on my 2016 Q5. My first experience and a very pleasant one I must say. I will be returning for my future needs.

Review №37

I am stunned at my good fortune in having been referred, by the Bimmer Car Repair fellas, to German Car Repair. GCR did a great job on brakes a while back, so when my VW Tiguan clunked backing out of the garage a couple of weeks ago, I knew who to call. Their calm demeanor suggested a possible transmission problem, but a thorough diagnosis would have to be conducted in person. I risked the drive to their shop, dropped it off, and then waited for the news. It wasnt good. It would indeed need a new transmission, and they had scoured the country to find one -- the only one -- new, in California. Delivery and installation would take a while and the price tag was high. I absorbed the news and readied the bank account. A day or so later I got a call from Chase at GCR. He asked if I would like to hear some good news. Sure, I said. Why not? He said the shop had conducted one last check before ordering the transmission and they had found something of interest. Do you you park your car in a garage? Chase asked. Yes, I do, I said. Is there dog food or bird seed in that garage, he asked. Yup, I said. Well, said Chase, it looks like a wire to the solenoid, has been gnawed or chewed by a rodent. We replaced the wire, and your car is fine. No need for a new transmission. The one you have is fine. I was shocked -- yes, at my good fortune at having found GCR,, and especially thankful for GCRs thoroughness, but mostly I am astonished at their integrity. How many shops would have stopped the process of a transmission replacement to do one final check, just in case? How many, once the wire to the solenoid was found, would have stopped the transmission replacement altogether, trading a major repair in the thousands of dollars for a minor one in the hundreds? Few, I fear. I am a raving fan of GCR, and I will be a customer for life.

I had my IMS baring replaced on my 2001 911 and I had an amazing experience, Marc was very professional and accommodating. I was impressed by how clean everything is, the garage is beautiful, just how I would want my dream garage to be. I came back after a month of hearing some rattling and they did such a great job of diagnosing the problem and getting the correct part to fix the issue. I’m very grateful of their attention to detail and caring about me as a client.

These guys do an awesome job and I am a big critic being in the car business and having worked with a lot of service shops out there.

Thats the best car repair place Ive seen in the whole state. If you have a German car, which means expensive repairs, this is the place to come.

I went to German Car Repair to have them install a set of H&R Lowering Springs and also give me an alignment.

A great Porsche shop, very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Do a great job with details. For example, I was going through my owners manual looking at something and even noticed they updated the service records in the owners manual porsche packet, which Ive never seen a non-deal take the care to do. Highly recommended.

I only trust this place to take care of my BMW. Ive been bringing it to them for years and always receive the highest level of service. They are quick and professional and always have my issue resolved the first time. Their beautiful lounge is spacious and comfortable in case I need to wait around for a quick repair. I wouldnt take my vehicle anywhere else and recommend anyone driving anything German take their vehicles here as well.

GCR came widely recommended when I was looking for an independent shop to perform a Pre-Purchase inspection. From my initial contact with them via email, I knew Id be in good hands. Communication was fast and clear. They slotted me in with just a few business days of notice. The shop is impeccable, and the parking lot filled with high-end cars is something to behold. The inspection was performed in a couple of hours, and I was given both a printed and electronic version of the results. It was clear from the report that they pay a lot of attention to detail. I was given time to ask any questions, and was on my way home a short while later. I will definitely be back when the need for service arises, and highly recommend you check them out. Integrity shines through everything they do there. Thanks, GCR.

GCR replaced my Porcshe Macan factory springs with H&R sport springs to lower car profile and enable a tighter ride. The shop was clean and efficient. Service and repair quality was high. Additionally, the front-office people were all about the customer service and satisfaction. I will definitely bring my car back for maintenance and other service needs. Thank you.

I had an A+ experience at German Car Repair. I came to Alan to get a second opinion on a rear axle repair that a different shop said I needed, and GCR was upfront and honest that the repair could wait. In addition, Alan and Chase kept me in the loop at all times with great communication. Jerry did an excellent job inspecting my car and reporting on any repairs that I actually needed. I would recommend GCR without reservation.

Review №58

I must say that this has been without doubt the BEST experience. I have been a Bmw and Porsche owner since 1976 , lived in different parts of the country , and Alan and his staff are without doubt the most honest , caring , and knowledgeable. They take their time to explain what they are going to do way ahead of actual performance , so that you, the client are educated. I think this has been the most fun as well. Alan , and Mike took time to show me around one of the most well equipped and super clean facilities. I will continue having my 1988 M6 serviced here. I will also bring my wife’s 2014 435 m sport In the future. BMW rocks , and GCR is a new power. I love what they do and how they do it. Concierge service ,just like going to the Ritz.in Paris. It doesn’t hurt that Alan is a rare human and also a M635Owner. Thanks for the referral from Kai a great friend in Florida who actually had a complete work over from GCR. Yes , Yes , Yes.

My Porsche Cayenne developed a knocking sound. I took it to the Porsche Dealer and they quoted me $18,500 to fix it. Had to pull the engine, replace the oil pump and half the engine parts, will take 10 days, blah, blah, blah. I brought my car to German Car Repair for a second opinion. The drove it and listened to the sound, inspected it and fixed the problem by the next morning for $300. I kid you not. It turned out to be a power steering fluid hose anchor point was broken and the hose was slapping from the vibration of the engine. I just drove the car on a 500 mile trip and it runs perfectly. I am a customer for life.

German Car Repair specializes in their namesake and they are quite reputable in the area. The owner Alan is honest, professional, and friendly. Years ago I had my first venture into an older Porsche Boxster and in having them do the pre-purchase inspection they helped me avoid potential money pits and I eventually found an ideal 2001 Boxster. This time I was looking to buy a 2017 VW Touareg and their inspection gave me the confidence before I decided on the purchase.

I brought my 2000 Porsche 911 to do some major maintenance and repairs (IMS bearing, Air/Oil Separator, Clutch). Their prices were very fair and my communication with Tim and the other gentlemen at GCR was excellent. I asked them to look over the car in detail to see if there was anything else in need of repair while they had the car, but they never started on an additional work without first talking to me about it and getting my approval.They worked very fast and actually had my car ready a day before the estimated time of completion. They also registered my car and IMS Retrofit bearing with LN Engineering without me having to ask. The folks at German Car Repair are extremely knowledgeable and friendly and I will definitely recommend their services.

GCR identified a probable coolant leak under the supercharger on my engine. Without a reservation Mark provided me a loaner vehicle since they had to keep my vehicle a few days for testing. Michael quickly found the issue and it was good news to hear the repair required was the best case scenario to repair the coolant leak. He is meticulous and provides outstanding attention to detail when working on my vehicle. Always outstanding service from GCR and such a relief to have found a trustworthy company to service my Audi for years to come.

I made a 1pm appointment to replace struts on my VW trunk window....A quick 10 minute job...I supplied the struts...New in box...I thought making the appointment, I would be in/out real quick...I got 2 text messages & 1 email reminding me of the 1pm appointment...For some reason when I got there at 1pm, the Service Consultant said that they had me down at 8am & said they don’t install parts that a customer brings in...They did it anyway & I had to wait just over 1 hour & I was charged $64.98 labor...Double for what I paid for the struts...I’ll still return for future repairs, they do excellent work, but this 1 visit was not a good experience.

Great experience with my PPI. GCR staff were friendly and transparent from the very beginning. The PPI was reasonably priced and the report was very thorough--they even followed up with additional pictures and were very responsive over email.
