When I moved to Willis I needed work on my Maserati. James and company have not only ALWAYS done solid work but the prices are great! James is the consummate professional and a friendly, very knowledgeable expert. His team is top shelf. Anyone with a European auto knows dealers and other 'experts' can take advantage. James and company are always honest brokers who do top work! Keep up the good work James! read more

We would give it 10 Stars if we could! James and his crew are by far the best for auto repair in the area. We have taken both our Jaguar and GMC truck and are completely happy with the results professionalism and reasonable. I highly highly recommend these guys. read more

I took my BMW to James with a drivetrain fault after the BMW dealership had quoted me an arm and a leg to fix this "major problem". When I explained the symptoms to James he immediately diagnosed that the issue to a sensor in the turbocharger and the cost to repair was a fraction of the dealer quote. I have now been taking my cars (Porsche & BMW) to James for over three years and the service is always fantastic, friendly, very reasonable pricing and totally honest in all aspects of the work. read more

Everyone here is super nice! I've always been leery of auto repair shops, but not here! Honest repairs at fair prices!

James is probably the most honest, trustworthy, and fair person I have met in the automobile repair service industry. I brought my BMW 435i to him to install a rear side window that was broken by vandals, and repair a broken sideview mirror. He and his crew did an excellent job on that. I later brought it to him for a wheel alignment after I installed a new set of shocks and springs. The steering was the most responsive it had ever been. Most recently I brought it to James to evaluate my battery and clear some trouble codes that popped up after I got my car back from BMW of The Woodlands. Numerous codes popped up that were not there before I brought it to them. James ran his analyzer, found the root cause which was a broken wire at the battery that BMWoTW likely broke, and he cleared the codes and would not take my payment. As I told him then, as long as i own this BMW I will take it to him for service. read more

I've had several cars needing various service or other things done to it.... my cars include a Mercedes E class and Maybach GLS600.... Not only are the people there all super friendly, but their work is fantastic and professional. I live about 5 miles away, and they always offer to drive me home or pick me up. I saved quite a bit by getting my service done here versus at Mercedes dealer, and it' so much closer. read more

I called yesterday for information regarding auto inspections, and due to an accident, had not driven my car for quite a while. Jessica at the front desk explained that it was not uncommon to fail emissions if the car had not been driven at least 10 miles right before the appt. and that the computer needs that to activate for emissions testing. evidently it is common in those circumstances for the car to fail. Today I drove 26 miles to be on the safe side right before arriving - and passed of course. I will encourage my son to use them as will I. Great courtesy Jessica!!! Thank you. read more

We're new to the area and it's always stressful finding businesses you can trust. A friend recommended European Auto and they did exactly what I needed at a reasonable price. I know what maintenance to expect in the future, and my Audi is running like new again. Bonus that they are very kind and caring people. I believe I am now a customer for life! read more

If you're looking for a trustworthy car repair place that isn't going to take you for a ride, this is your spot. I took my car to another business (has fire in the name) and I was quoted for thousands more than what European Auto quoted me. I ultimately chose European Auto and they fixed everything up and did it all within the day (my car now runs just like when I first bought it years ago). Do yourself a favor and come here. read more

OMG - I can not say enough GREAT things about these people! My 82 year old recently widowed mother knows nothing about cars, technology or frankly handling anything my father always handled taking care of her the past 60 years. Her Mercedes E-class needed a new auxiliary battery, oil change and other small gremlins/messages that popped up. I live 200 miles away and couldn't bring her car in for her. She had never heard of Uber and scared of taxis. When I called to schedule service, Kendra answered the phone and was the kindest, most supportive woman, who put me in touch with James who told me not only would he have a technician drive my mom home after dropping her car off but that they would also drop the car off when completed!!! I was planning to drive 200 miles to pick it up so it wouldn't stress my mother out but James took care of that for me. My mother dropped car off and James called me and gave me a detailed quote, which was exactly as expected and under budget compared to the dealership 50 miles away from her. He called me again when it was completed and said he was on way to pick mom up and have a technician take him back so my mother wouldn't have to. WOW! I was so happy! The only car related surprise I got was the kind you NEVER expect! A GOOD ONE! James told me that he found a faulty switch and ran over to get a new one and he replaced it at no cost to us. ($85 cost to him) He said he didn't want any question about it later. Are you kidding me!? My mom was in tears of joy just knowing there are people and businesses like this that still exist. We will FOREVER use EAS for all future needs. This was my first dealing with this service center and as far as I know my mother's as well. This is not a fabricated story in any way and I will take any calls to act as reference for James, Kendra and European Auto Service. THANK YOU! Tom Gore 972-849-8490 read more

European Auto is awesome. James, the owner, is kind, extremely knowledgable and very attentive to customer's needs. Like most of us, I've have worked with many auto service companies in my life. I think European is the best I've ever encountered. I truly and wholeheartedly recommend them. read more

Only ones I trust with my car repairs. James and his team are great! I highly recommend.

European is the only place we take our car and SUV. Took my wife's SUV in to have brakes checked and upon evaluating, they called to tell us she needed new tires badly. This place is the most honest and reliable company. We highly recommend them... James and his crew are the BEST!! read more

I took my ram 1500 over to these guys and they have been nothing but helpful. You can tell they genuinely care about giving quality service.

James was recommended for working on my Volkswagen. I had taken it to the local dealership several times to request checking everything over because I had bought it used with high mileage. I wanted to take care of any issues and get the car up to par. The dealership not only failed to mention an extremely dangerous alignment issue that was wearing my tires down to the seams but also charged me over $3000 in now "questionable repairs." I was told by the dealership I had another $2000 in engine repair to do, so I took the car to James for a second opinion. The car was a bit of a rough drive. Come to find out, not only did the engine issue not exist, but I was in dire need of the above mentioned alignment and new tires (which the dealership never mentioned.) James fixed the alignment, put on some nice performance tires and explained in detail the function and needs of the turbo engine. When I left, the car drove like a dream! Later, I took the car back to James to help with the convertible top. I dropped in and he spent well over an hour diagnosing and explaining along the way the issue and provided me an estimate for the part at no charge. I will be taking the car back to James for the repair when the part arrives. He is not only knowledgeable and affordable but also honest and has EXCELLENT customer service. As a business owner myself, I respect someone with similar ethics and a passion for the work they do. Strongly recommend!! read more

We've been using James and his team for over a decade. They always go above and beyond servicing our Mercedes and SUV's. James is honest and friendly- a great guy who cares about his clients and his work. His prices are reasonable too! So glad we found them! read more

I took my Lexus here because it was miss firing. I had an oil leak as well. James was awesome and honest. My car is running better than it ever did. Thank you so much James for being an amazing person. read more

What a wonderful gem!!! We're new to the area and My 17 year old Mercedes Kompressor needed service. I hesitate to take it just anywhere, so we found European Auto Service online and decided to try because of all the good reviews. We were so thrilled with the extremely professional service by the whole team, and the very honest recommendations James made. Honest, reliable service is not easy to find...we feel so blessed to have found it here. They have earned our business! read more

best mechanic business around! excellent service and knowledgeable- very communicative and worth taking to this Willis establishment! highly recommended read more

Great work. Less costly than BMW dealer but the BMW parts still make for a healthy bill. 2011 328i runs like new again. Good for another 50,000 + miles. Will definitely return. read more

Last year I took my car into European Auto for basic service. I was told I needed suspension work. Since there were no noise or performance issues, I put off the service for several months. Upon taking it back in I was told I now needed over $6k is suspension work. Again, no noise or handling issues. I called them and discussed the diagnosis and pricing and was told all soft parts and several hard parts needed to be replaced. Knowing a bit about working on cars I grew suspicious and took the car to the dealer in Houston for a second opinion. The dealer advised no work needed to be done. About a month later I took it to another, more local shop, for basic service and they also stated that zero suspension work needed to be done. I have had an issue in the past with work done at European Auto but I put it off to "mistakes happen". In my opinion this cannot be attributed to a mere mistake. You can form your own judgement. read more

I brought my car in from out of town for a clutch problem. James and Doug really took care of me. James didn't just tell me what the problem was, but he took me under the lift and showed me. They didn't dumb down any explanation because I'm female, and they answered questions in a thoughtful way. I would absolutely recommend this shop, and I'll bring my vehicle back here again whenever I'm in town. read more

James is the best owner/mechanic anywhere in Texas. We take all our vehicles to him and he does a wonderful job. He is honest, knowledgeable, hardworking, and quick. We highly recommend European Auto for all your vehicles. read more

Tonight our car broke down on the way back from a weekend trip to Dallas. We needed to get home to pick up our daughter from her Gma and it was literally 10 minutes to 5pm when my husband called European Auto Service. James answered the phone and my husband explained the situation and what he thought was wrong with the car. James took the time to drive over to where we had pulled off the road, after closing up shop for the day, and assessed the problem with out car, made a few calls, and quoted us a price for fixing it the next day. He even had a tow truck come and grab the car to tow to his shop for safe keeping overnight. Then to top it all off he offered to drive us home, 45 miles, so we wouldn't have to wait for a ride or call an Uber. Words cannot express how grateful we are to have called James and for his kindness to us. If your ever in need of a mechanic I cannot suggest a better place to take your business. read more

I'm a mechanic myself, and James has been servicing all 3 of our vehicles since we moved here. GMC, Dodge and BMW. He is straight forward, honest and willing to go the extra mile to make sure he gets all your concerns resolved. Aces in my book all the way. read more

Wow! Blessings on this gentleman, James Nichols, the owner of European Auto Service. Our family so appreciates what he did for my daughter-in-law today. She grew up in a big city and wasn't around the lawn mowers, mini-bikes, pickups, motorcycles and cars we were growing up in the midwest. She put diesel in her husband's Infinity. Big oops and a bit harrowing for her as the car inconveniently died on the ramp to the expressway after filling up. Mr. Nichols, went ABOVE & BEYOND maybe bc he is a single dad of two daughters, maybe bc he has a good heart, maybe bc he was moved by divine intervention (prayed about this a lot last night) or maybe he just felt it was the right thing to do...or all of the above. Just darn grateful that human beings like him populate the world. Not all human creatures are human beings, which is why it is scary for a gal alone when something goes wrong. He not only fit the repair into his very busy day, he gave her a lift to return the rental car she had too. Figuring it would take her 2-3 hours to drive home, he called about 20 minutes after she arrived to make sure she got home okay. Thank you, Mr. Nichols, you are officially a family friend, now on our Christmas Card list and you are certainly a gentleman. Your daughters are blessed to have you and today we were too! God Bless You and Keep You. read more

This place is a gem. I'm from The Dallas area I would in a heartbeat make the drive back here to have James Nichols do work on my car again. He is talented in his work, has a lot of knowledge and expertise as a mechanic/ business owner and is absolutely the cream of the crop. If you need your car fixed this is the place to take it to. He fixed my car in a pinch, returned my call and went out of his way to help me return my rental without hesitation: Guardian angel sent from heaven!!! His daughters are lucky to have him as a role model in their lives. Best of luck to you James at your new location. Happy Holidays ! read more

I may not be a European car owner but I can tell you this much . James and his crew are just absolutely amazing he is such an asset to the community he works with the youth , he is kind professional and witty I highly recommend this place!!!! read more

James returned my call after hours and set up a time for me to have my pads replaced. He replaced them in an hour at a great price and had me on my way. He is honest and forthright. Great mechanic/owner!!!!! I plan on doing business with him in the future. read more

James was so knowledge, honest, and has great customer service. We got his number from a friend and they were right, he does a great job. read more

I visited European Auto Service again three weeks ago. Just as the last time I was there, James, Doug, and their crew were very friendly, excellent at taking care of my problem, and very reasonable in their charge. It's very hard to find a good reliable, knowledgeable, honest, and friendly auto shop. If I had a daughter, I would nearly insist that she take her car to them because women are often taken advantage of in this situation and that won't ever happen here! Great service, guys! read more

James is top notch in customer service and quality, affordable work. He knows cars, European Autos, and he knows service, hence the fitting name. I've been taking my cars to him for at least 1 1/2 years, and I hope he never moves because I don't know what I would do. I might have to take up automotive myself if that were ever the case! Or maybe I would just get a horse. Anyway, he knows his stuff! read more

Awesome customer service. When i showed up in the morning the guy started on my car right away. They really know what they are doing. I wont take my '86 BMW 325es anywhere else read more

Great work done, and very easy to do business with! Highly recommend James and the gang!

James is honest, straightforward and most importantly does outstanding work. He has worked on both our BMW X5 and Toyota Sienna, though his specialty is more toward the BMW. I pull recommend James and EAS to anyone. read more

James and his crew have worked on numerous cars of mine over the past few years and I couldn't recommend him more highly. Great skills, great work, unbelievable customer service and you won't find a nicer guy. read more

Not good! They did not diagnose the problem with my vehicle they went strait to changing parts. It is quicker and easier for them, but much more expensive for me and their other customers, and to top it off he has a very bad attitude. Better stay away from this shop. Anyone have any ideas on a another shop in the area? read more
