Hi everyone, This is Matt Mckenzie, Son of Jack Mckenzie LA Rams. In the interim, I just wanted to pass on an establishment with integrity which is hard to find. I was really messed over by a dealership twice and I trusted them without know they were going to do me wrong.I won't mention names! Deakan's is vaulted to the highest point of contrast! He has been in business 14yrs and really appreciate him doing an amazing job on my X5 4.8 SUV. Best, Matt Mckenzie read more

We have had a lot of work done on an old car for about 8 years now. This is an excellent place to get the repairs for our old Mini-Cooper. I highly recommend Decann's European! Sue S read more

My 2020 cooper needed brakes replaced, I got a quote of over $2000 at the actually cooper dealership. I've been getting tired of how much they're charging for services and just didn't have the funds for that. I looked at Yelp and thank goodness I did! I looked through Decann reviews to ensure they actually have worked on Coopers and did see a good review about one. I called and got an appointment pretty fast for more than 50% less than what cooper dealership was going to charge, and bonus I'm helping a local family business instead of giant corp. win win! No complaints of their service at all. Would go again. Side note they are open only Monday-Thursdays. read more

Decann worked my Audi A6 last month. They let us know what was going on with the car and what needs to be fixed. All work was done in a timely manner. It's running great now. Thank you! read more

Gina, the secretary is amazing at her job and will always take care of you and the mechanics will always handle the other end very experienced and know European automotive very well. Together, they make an amazing combo! read more

Great place to get a smog check done! They take good care of you and done by expert mechanic. read more

Brought my kid's BMW to Decann's shop in September 2019. Decann and Corey were awesome about communicating with me about what was wrong as they broke it down. On their own, they determined and advised me that the issue was under an extended warranty through BMW. They helped me coordinate towing the car to the dealer so that I could get the remaining repair completed under warranty. They could have easily done the work themselves and charged me full price. I would have been none the wiser. In short, these guys are awesome. In my experience they were thorough in the service, completely professional and courteous in their communication and honest - even when it cost them a few bucks - when they let me know I could get the service completed for free. I recommend Decann's and will be returning when my daughter's car needs further service. Mike W. El Dorado Hills, CA read more

I will be a loyal customer and my EuroVan will not go anywhere else, reasonable, friendly, Decann was referred to me by a friend, I live in Sacramento and prefer to drive for the best service.. read more

Brought our Audi Q7 in due to a coolant leak. Decann's diagnosed and repaired the issue in less than 2 days at a reasonable price. Very reliable and fast service. Will be going back for all our repair needs going forward. read more

Thanks to Decann's for getting my car back to me quickly. Since I'm from out of the area, I especially appreciate it. New brakes! Whohoo!

My truck was making a horrible noise. The crew got it checked out and got me going as quick as possible. The best part was they gave me a few different options that fit my situation. Nice people. Locally owned. They took good care of me. read more

Great customer service, friendly staff, and they know their stuff. This is the place I bring my, 2007 Mini Cooper, for its services and any maintenance required. They're always very attentive to the needs of my car and seeking out preventative care. If you ever find yourself waiting for your vehicle during your visit, Decann's will usually offer to drive you into town to their local coffee shop or Starbucks during the time your car is getting worked on, that's always a plus! read more

Years ago there was a auto repair shop that was the one rare shop you could simply leave the keys to the car and trust the repair would be done right and for a fair price. That shop is gone now but I have found another shop that has earned that same trust. It's Decann's. I have had numerous maintenance, warranty or un-planned vehicle work done here and have had excellent results. If i could rate Decann's with more than the 5 stars, I would. Thanks Decann's. Well done!! read more

I got my car's oil change here few weeks ago! It was an good experiment . I really like their service, I was able to make an appointment right away! I'd recommend it to anyone, and definitely come back again! read more

Getting stuck with an overheating car in the middle of nowhere is not a joke especially when it is close to quitting time on a Friday. My wife and I got stuck just after Placerville on US50 due to our car entering limp mode due to a bad waterpump. Being from the bay area. we had to search the internet for a decent shop that may be able to take a look at the car. We stumbled upon Decanns European. Theese guys are professional and helpful. Cost of repair is fair and work done was clean. The staff are friendly and helpfulThanks again Decann and John! read more

Decann is the kind of old-school throwback mechanic that you just don't find much anymore. I had an old BMW 3-Series that had been mostly sitting for a long time, and he got it back in beautiful shape, which was not at all an easy thing to do. He's genuine, experienced and honest. He doesn't cut corners, but he does give you a fair price. And he's a very nice guy too. I'm grateful for the super work he did for me and regret that we've now moved and I have to search for someone who is as good as him. This is the mechanic you want to have work on your car. read more

Decann's got me in right away for a brake replacement for my Land Rover Discovery. Work was completed on time and was less than the initial quoted price. I'm so glad to have found a local repair shop for Land Rover, so I don't have to drive all the way to the dealership in Rocklin. I will be back as long as I have my Disco. read more

My engine light came on right before we were leaving for Christmas and I just drove it in to see if they could check if the code was anything to be worried about. The owner without hesitation just said no problem come back in an hour and he checked it to find out a rat had built a home under my hood and started chewing through the wires. He is the only one working there and I really appreciated that he diagnosed it so quickly for me because I could have been stranded if I kept driving it. read more

California's outrageous new requirement to getting my 2016 truck smogged every TWO years. The silver lining was getting to meet this place. Special going on right now where if you make an appointment it is $19.99 smog, plus $8.25 for the certificate. I got quotes from 5 local spots, and this was the closest to my house. Kelsey was very friendly and the process was quick and painless. I was out the door in about 15 mins. Thanks guys!! read more

DeCann's European did a great job with my 2005 Jag. They were reasonably priced and timely. I am really happy to have found a local shop instead of going all the way to Sacramento. A bonus that the service is much better than Sacramento! read more

Prior to Decann's European, I was a customer of Vic's Automotive, the previous owner of the location. When I discovered Vic's place and discovered his fairness and most of all, honesty, I was so happy! My heart sank when he told me that he was selling the place. Oh no!!! Do you know how hard it is to find someone that you can trust? Being a single woman, a Mom, limited income, I needed someone I can trust! Vic told me that a young man named Decann was buying the place and that he really seemed like a good trustworthy guy, to give him a chance. So the minute Decann opened his doors, I went in to introduce myself and I immediately told him of my concerns of trust and I will give him a chance. :o) That was some time ago ... and I will always be a loyal customer of Decann's European. Trust is ... EVERYTHING! Thank you Decann's European! Joie Lehman Cameron Park, CA read more

Not sure if it was intentional but these guys really shit the bed with my son's car. We took his 2007 VW Jetta to them to inspect before purchasing. They gave it a "green light" and it was back in there a few months later for an oil leak. We were back again a few months later for engine mis-firing. They cleaned out cylinder heads with walnut shell treatment. That was fine but we got home and found out they forgot to put a cap back after car would not start. Had to get it towed back. They said they would pay for the tow charge but did not. 6 months later we were back again due to turbo charger not firing. They quoted $2500 to fix. We decided to get second opinion. We went to Folsom VW and they quickly diagnosed a sensor issue. $300 easy fix. But before I could even get the car down to Folsom VE we had a blown radiator hose because Decanns failed to put a hose clamp back on after inspecting turbo charger. I think the main guy at Decanns is smart and knowledgable but my guess is that they just have some young mechanics who don't pay attention to detail and are absent minded. Unfortunately we had not 1, but 2 bad experiences. Never again! BTW- If you have a VW a highly reccomend Folsom VW. They know exactly what they are doing and even fixed Decanns radiator hose mess for free. read more

Easy to work with, and fair pricing. Hard to find in the car repair world, but consistently done at Decan's European.

Clean facility. Extreme attention to detail including digital photos of the engine repairs required to show to me at checkout. Price/costs are reasonable. Best BMW repair shop in the east Sacto and El Dorado County area so far. read more

A friend recommended Decann's because he'd heard good things. I had an oil leak that wasn't visible but the dealer had mentioned it in one of my previous check ups and since my X5 is out of warranty I thought I'd give Decann's a try. I was not disappointed. I stopped in unannounced to just chat about it and set up a future appointment. Decann's delivered what they promised and more! They did several minor things without charge, had the car ready when they promised and had washed it! This is a big deal when you're a very busy person. I will definitely take my car to Decann's in the future and recommend to friends, clients and family. They have my vote! read more

My sons car was taken there for an inspection prior to a sale. The mechanic listed a bunch of items that were absolutely un founded and not correct. I cant figure out his motive but amazed how such generalizations with no basis to back up his opinions can take place in a professional shop. When called on for substantiate his observations, he couldn't provide solid answers. Only generalizations . In my opinion he is misleading dishonest and therefore I would not recommend him or his shop. He is responsible for killing a sale on a perfectly good sound car. read more

Awesome! I went here to get my car smogged because I saw a coupon in one of the local papers. I called in advance and made an appointment. I went there with 2 toddlers and was in and out in under 10 minutes. That included the time it took me to load/unload the kids, paperwork, and paying. I'll definitely check them out the next time I need my car serviced. read more

Great place to take your car for a checkup! Reasonable prices and a friendly knowledgeable owner!

This was a great shop. They really know their cars and research everything before estimating the charges. We were really happy with their service! read more

I was looking for a new shop for my '99 Porsche. After reading the Yelp reviews and going to Decann's European Website I decided to give them a call. What a positive experience! From the initial call with Corey, to going on a test-drive with Decann, and then finally picking up my car with everything I had asked to be repaired was fixed..at a great price. I was very pleased. I have found my new Porsche repair shop. Pm read more

Had my car smogged. Was quick and efficient at a good price. I also had my husband and daughter's car smogged. Would highly recommend.

I would give it zero, terrible communication did not return call, would have done unnecessary and expensive work on my car had I not got a second opinion. read more

Great customer service and they did a great job on my car. (08 SAAB)They listened to my thoughts on the problem without being dismissive, they gave a thorough and accurate quote. Tony discussed repair options without giving me the hard sell. Overall they all went above and beyond (smogged, cleaned, headlight restored)to get the car running like new. Finding a shop like this takes the anxiety out of car repairs. read more

had a bad experience, where the transmission shifting was mis diagnosed and the replacement transmission quote was twice as much as a transmission shop. So now I am out the cost of them removing a transmission needlessly. to top it off the problem was relayed to them and they overlooked it and focused on the transmission I would definitely not recommend this shop read more

Looking for an automotive repair company that won't rip you off. People as honest as Decann are hard to come by. Please give him a try for your auto service. read more

Very knowledgeable. Rebuilt the transmission on my 2002 Eurovan-these have a LOT of transmission issues-Decann rebuilt it several years ago and still going strong. Amazing! Thank you so much, I love my Eurovan and want to keep it forever. read more

Took my vw moterhome to them,after paying another business over $3,000. to repair my transmission,with no luck.Decanne assured me he had the expertise and would fix my problem.After he worked on it and gave me a bill for just under $4,000.which i payed on his word of honor that it was fixed. I still had the same problem.When i returned it to him,he decided that he couldnt fix it after all.andtold me to take to the dealer.He refused to return any of the money i payed him.though my vehicle had the same problem it had when i took it to him.I finally had to pay vw dealer another $1450.to get it repaired.The end result was i ended up spending over$8500.00. for a simple transmission repair. I am now pursuing a lawsuit against Decannes. Vince Kelley 4-30-17 read more

Went above and beyond selling me parts that may have been needed in the future but did not address the issue. Driving off the same problem was still occurring, when I returned they would not back their work. They may be good at minor problems and changing the oil but if you have a major problem I would avoid this shop. read more
