EMD Auto - EMD installed new lowering springs for my 2018 GTI. - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Anaheim, California

Came here for installation of an FMIC and other goodies. Was quoted a fair price compared to other surrounding shops. Thomas was welcoming and didn't make it feel like a, "hey, just give me your money and wait til we're done with your car" type of vibe. Plus, free WiFi and you could just kickback and watch netflix. Definitely going to be coming back here if I need some more work done. read more

Awesome service! Couldn't be happier with the customer service and quick work. Can't wait to go back for more upgrades. read more

EMD Auto - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Anaheim, California

Only shop I went with to get oil changes done. Come to find out they sent me home with a broken upper timing cover. (I did not find out until months later when I decided to take a look at my oil level). Thanks EMD Auto. read more

I recently had a brake rotor, pads and flush service done here. Very good customer service, email communication was very convenient as they responded very fast. Answered all my inquiries and also managed to acquire the parts needed even though it says Out of Stock in their website. All I have to do was inquire on when will they restock. I am very satisfied with the service and price. Will definitely come back for more future upgrades. read more

EMD Auto - Bring your VW, Audi, Porsche for sport tuning. - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Anaheim, California

Came back today to install a pair of Bilstein rear sport struts. Thomas again did a great job. Easy and simple. Also, he was able to adjust my headlights as well. Again, will be coming back for future mods. read more

they installed a clutch in my gti for a good price. nice front desk and good mechanics.

I worked with Tyler who helped me choose some exhaust parts for my MK7 GTI. He was very helpful, thorough, and timely. He replied to me before I had a chance to reach out to him, now THAT'S great customer service! He is very knowledgeable, especially with the MK7 GTI platform. Give him a call, he will take care of you! On a sidenote, I have EMD's springs on my GTI and they couldn't be any more perfect. Thank you, Tyler and EMD! read more

I dont have a yelp account so I have to use my gf's. I have never write any other yelp review before but because of how Thomas treated me.....I felt the least I can do is write him a good review. Thomas installed the remus catback exhaust with diffuser for me and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. He even threw in some free vagcom mods for me. Thomas's customer service level is top notch. He kept in contact with me throughout te entire time, from the day I emailed him for a quote to the day of the appointment. His shop closed at 5pm but he was willing to wait for me when I told him that I get out of work at 5pm. He told me that day he have an event to attend and he need to leave around 7 but he will do it for me. Even though he was in a rush, he took his time installing my exhaust. By the time it was finished, it was already 7:30. He was clearly late for his event and I felt really bad for it. If you have questions....don't be afraid to email him. He is very helpful and respond to your email really fast. I will definitely come back for other modifications (once I save enough money again that is). read more

I went to EMD auto twice, once for a swaybar install and another time for a tire mount+balance and install. Both were done in about an hour. Quick and friendly service, definitely recommended. Thank you! read more

Top notch place. Thomas always takes of my issues and definitely knows his stuff. They are super passionate about VW/Audi and it shows. Prices are very competitive and they do extremely good work. My engine was rebuilt by these guys, and it's been rock solid for 40k+ with lots of pulls. Anytime I have any kind of weird issue they have been able to take care of me every time. Nothing but good things to say about this place, EMD auto rocks! read more

Thomas and the crew are the best! I just got my first german car and when it came to questions, these guys had it all for me. So far I have recommended my brother and my friends here and now this is their home base for services. read more

Great first experience with Thomas and EMD Auto. EMD offers quality products and excellent service at a very reasonable price. I scheduled an appointment and they started working on my car right away. I had lowering springs installed, and my car was ready by the time I returned from grabbing lunch. Thomas was nice enough to answer all my questions afterwards as well. I was not asked to give an online review. EMD will definitely be at the top of my list next time I need work done! read more

These guys do a great job. I would recommend Emmanuele Designs for anyone who's an enthusiast looking for quality work to be done. You can tell these guys really enjoy what they do and it reflects in the job quality. Not a single screw will be missed with these guys :) Their also exclusive distributors for Bull-X downpipes and exhaust backs; I got my bull-x downpipe and it really transformed my MK7 R. They're a great tune shop that i would recommend over and over again. read more

Thomas is a fantastic and professional shop operator. Could not have been happier with the new RS grill installed on my B9 Audi S4 and I highly recommend anyone contemplating this to do so with him! read more

Thomas was fantastic. Will certainly come back. Wish they were closer but was worth the drive.

EMD Auto did an amazing job on my car with their emmotion springs and alignment! Their customer service was quick to respond to any questions I had and the staff is super friendly. Their pricing beat out everywhere else I looked and all the reviews I've seen of this shop have been great. They got me set up with an appointment super quick and now another happy customer. Thanks again guys! read more

Took my Audi A3 in because my PCV valve went out and it caused my rear main seal to go bad. VW/Audi are notorious for these. Dealers charge over $1500 for the rear main seal and PVC and they use the same OEM seal that tends to go bad....I had the upgraded iAbed seal, PVC and leaking timing cover gaskets changed for a great price. Thomas is a real professional and I will trust him with my Audi and BMW service for now on. read more

I found out about Thomas while searching for a tune. After deciding to go with GIAC's tune, I contacted Thomas. He quoted me a very fair price for the flash and educated me on mixing E85 and 91. Great service and results. I later went back to get the Forge chargecooler with expansion tank installed. No leaks, no more heat soak and as an added bonus, Thomas also flashed me back to stock whenever necessary for dealer maintenance. There was a mixup with pricing and I actually had an outstanding balance, but Thomas never pressured me or tried to hunt me down. He pays attention to detail and is meticulous in his installs. The area he works in is large and is conveniently located off the 5 freeway. His waiting area has great AC, has drinks and a TV to pass the time. If I still drove an Audi I would go back for more mods. However... he is able to provide tuning for F-Type R so I'm still in luck! Unfortunately, the symptoms of refractory-moditis have no cure but the toys and goodies he has curbs the need. Bottom line: When the RS3 comes out I will be going back to Thomas for a custom fab for 550+ at the wheels. read more

Normally don't write reviews, but I am super happy with my IS-20 Turbo Swap install for my 2015 Golf 1.8. Fast service, and Thomas is super responsive, answered all my questions through Yelp Messaging. Really cool shop that knows what their doing. Will be back! read more

Just drove home after getting sway bar, end links, and springs installed. All I can say is WOW! My MK7 GTI handles phenomenally now. Great parts at a great price. Thomas is very knowledgeable and patient, answered all my questions and helped me feel at ease before doing any installation. The whole thing took about 3 hours/less, which was fairly quick. I'll definitely be returning for future work. I would recommend Thomas and Emmanuele Design to anyone looking for suspension upgrades, and other jobs. I'm very satisfied with my stage 2 package and have the highest praise for ED. Thanks again guys, the grin on my face the way home was priceless. read more

I was referred to EMD Auto by Neuspeed and was introduced to Thomas. From placing a phone order to getting a Saturday appt., I have to say that the experience was fantastic - nothing short of awesome. His facility is solid and his staff is great. I drove from the Glendale/Burbank area but the drive was absolutely worth it. Will be making more appointments with Thomas and EMD again soon! read more

I was recommended by a friend of mine and this place did a great job. Ordered my parts to make sure the job was done perfectly. Will definitely use this company again in the future. And you can watch Netflix while you wait. Thanks again. read more

What a great shop! Great service and excellent quality products. If you have a desire or need for auto customization and repairs, choose these guys. I have had all sorts of work done to my new Audi and have more in the pipeline. They will do all of it:) read more

Hi started using Thomas three years ago adding GIAC software to my Audi S5 since then he has maintained my car impeccably and bailed me out of $18,000 charge from South coast Audi by replacing a drive module on my transformation for fraction of their quote. Was thinking about buying a BMW... Instead I'm buying another Audi so Thomas can maintain for me read more

I had a really good experience here. I got a routine service at the Audi dealership and they found that my thermostat and water pump needed to be replaced because it was leaking coolant and quoted me $1200. After already paying $800 for a 35k service and oil change at the dealer I wanted to get quotes elsewhere and see if I could get the job done at a better price. As a female with a German car, most places try to overcharge me because I don't know much about cars and they can see that. I got a quote from Emd auto after sending them a yelp message in under an hour. It was the best price out of all the quotes I received as well as genuine parts so I went with Emd auto. Thomas was very helpful, honest and answered all the questions I had. He gave all the details that broke down the prices of the parts, and labor and it was such a fair price and I could tell they were not trying to overcharge like everywhere else. He had pictures showing the damage they repaired and also let me know about how there was a mouse trying to chew through some of my wiring which for some reason the dealer told me nothing about. I paid in cash, and they also deducted my Uber costs from my bill, so they gave me a further discount from an already great price. I saved hundreds that I would have paid more at other auto shops and the dealer. So glad I found this place, I will be going to emd auto for all future services instead of the dealer. They use genuine parts, and do a more thorough job at explaining everything than the dealership. Thank you guys for everything! read more

Thomas and Tyler were such a great help, got me in quickly and out! Great pricing and customer service! highly recommend!! Thank you guys!

I brought my Passat in for some modifications, and was extremely pleased with the service and end result. My car was ready in a few hours, and I was smiling the whole ride home with the extra power. Thanks! read more

I came here to get my car tuned, I got in contact with Thomas Emmanuelle the week prior via email. He was very attentive and responded to my emails right away. He was very knowledgeable and informative on all the questions I had and his recommendations were very unbiased. I looked around at a few other tuning shops and this place had hands-down the best prices. I was greeted immediately and Thomas took my car to the back and start working on it. It took him about 2 1/2 hours to complete an installation was free. Other places quoted me 5-6 hours of work and was going to charge me anywhere between $70-$90 Per hour. The other advantage was that he had everything in stock whereas most other places quoted me at least a week in shipping time. He also followed up with me after this elation to make sure that everything was okay, after installation he went over with me the product and any information about the operation I should be aware of. The waiting area at the shop was clean convenience he has water and coffee complementary there is a flatscreen TV and Wi-Fi if needed. I am planning on having future upgrades including a full exhaust system and will definitely go back for more work to this place. Things could not have gone better. read more

I purchased lowering springs for my mk7 GTI from their website and inquired about installation via email. Thomas emailed me back within the hour with prices and available service times. I scheduled a time, had the springs installed with an alignment done, and I couldn't be happier. The car looks great and rides like it's on stock springs. Thomas and the guys did a great job with my car. I will definitely use them for future mods/service. read more

Appointment was scheduled for early morning on a Saturday! when I arrived at the location I was greeted by the owner Thomas. We discussed what was going to be done to my vehicle.
