After going to several places (2 Toyota dealers and bmw dealerships denying service all together) to fix my Supra and not getting any answers, not having my car for over a week and the run around on why the engine light was on, my boyfriend found this place while researching online. The customer service was amazing, and we appreciated Russel's honest and up front updates, contacting my warranty place, and getting my car back to me in 2 days as good as new! It was nice to get my car fixed. It was a pleasure to deal with a place and someone that didn't give us the run around and actually knew what they were doing. read more

They really made sure to go above and beyond to reassure me of their diagnosis for my misfire issue by explaining in detail all the steps they took and I'm extremely grateful. They'll be my go to for sure. read more

After receiving a ridiculous quote from BMW south Austin I called to have an oil change and brake issue checked. Scheduling was quick & easy. I planned on dropping off my vehicle but was informed it would only be a few hours at most. They had WiFi & a comfortable waiting area. I was sent a digital vehicle inspection with pictures which created a lot of trust in the recommendation of repairs needed. I was alerted to an oil leak issue but was not an emergency immediate need I will return to have this addressed by my next oil change. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of service, the communication and the affordability. I will definitely be returning. read more

This is now my third time using this shop, and I'll never go anywhere else! Had a coolant notification pop up on my BMW, they took me in immediately and got it done within 20 minutes! Amazing as always! Only the best service at this shop read more

Highly recommend! Employees are extremely helpful! Shoutout Russell for his assistance!

I had a laundry list of problems with my VW and thought I should take it to a specialized shop so she could get the repairs she deserved! Russell at European Motorwerks was super honest with me, communicative + fair. I needed all kinds of things like a new side mirror (which they took lots of care to color match--my car is very specific). For what they did (and the quality of the work), the price was totally reasonable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to take their needy and pampered euro cars. Looking at these reviews, they clearly deal with a lot of bs, and they were still super kind to me. This is all to say, I won't take my car anywhere else. Thank you Russell!! read more

Good people work here. They tell you what's up. I service my bmw here. No complaints. Very professional.

Took my vehicle in after to get an alignment after it had been in a wreck. Russel was very professional and detailed on what else was wrong with my car. They also took care of the alignment for me. I have no complaints whatsoever and will be returning here in the future. read more

AN EMPLOYEE AT EUROPEAN WERKSHOP DROVE OUR RANGE ROVER SPORT 20 MILES HOME AFTER SHOP HOURS WITHOUT OUR CONSENT! WE HAVE GPS! TLDR: Russell, the sales person, told us our Range Rover Sport would be ready on 3/17 and we found out via GPS that our car was at HIS HOME on 3/16 (day before it was going to be ready for pick up) over TWENTY miles away AFTER shop hours??? Basically, an employee took our car to commute home OVERNIGHT. We had our Range Rover Sport and was told by Russell that our vehicle would be ready the next day (tomorrow). Three hours later we see our car is in SOUTH Austin (the shop is in the domain- North Austin) at what we later find out is Russell's home. The shop closes at 6pm and it's 5:30pm. What was our car doing in South Austin? My husband asks to speak with the owner and the front desk person was not making eye contact and the overall vibe was that they had been discovered for something they all knew was wrong. We are then told by the mechanics and Russell that this is NORMAL practice! Long story short if you didn't catch it: ACCORDING TO THEIR SALES REPRESENTATIVE AND MECHANICS, IT IS THEIR PRACTICE TO COMMUTE HOME WITH YOUR LUXURY VEHICLES WITHOUT CONSENT! My husband waited an HOUR for him to drive the car back and after another 30 minutes of back and forth argument, my husband paid the $3k bill. He had to drive his car back home, and left just in an Uber to go pick up my car. It's now 7:19 PM on 3/16/23. Had we been told that it was normal practice for them to keep clients luxury vehicles at their employees homes OVERNIGHT we would have said "HELL F$&@/NG NO" why can't they take it on a test drive during shop hours? We feel totally taken advantage of and now feel as though they played us for fools. We can't speak to the work they did. All we can do is hope they didn't swap out parts or something shady. Nauseated by the whole thing, honestly. I will also update with screenshots of our vehicle being in 20 miles away on a "test drive" in south Austin past shop hours. I will update when we hear back from the owner. If there is NO UPDATE on this review, the owner DID NOT CALL US BACK. My husband was told by the office that they could not give him the owners phone number. PS- We have the names of everyone who was involved and chose not to include their names as it was just one person who took our car home with them. read more

Took my Cayenne in for 20k service. Had a few extras added on like new tires, new brakes. Totally fine. Trying to get a status on when it would be ready? Hard. Mailboxes full and couldn't leave vm. Sign on the counter when you're paying says 4% charge for credit card usage. When your bill is $3k+, this is poor form. It makes me feel like they don't value me as a customer. It's a cost of running a business. Increase your cost of an oil change by 4%, but don't tell me I need to pay for your operational expenses directly like that. And btw, no one mentioned this tax until I was paying. Makes me wonder what shortcuts they may have taken to cut costs servicing my car. Hope my car is ok. I'm not sure I'll go back. read more

Recently bought a bmw 335i and was curious what shape it was in. Took it in for a buyers inspection and they let me chill out inside for a few hours while they looked it over. Came back with a full inspection and quotes on all repairs needed. Ended up getting a leaky oil sensor replaced and a new oil change. Took off the cost for inspection and just charged me for the repairs! Amazing customer service. Friendly staff read more

I will NEVER return to this place!!! (Full of Rats) I took my car for an oil change on a Wednesday 3rd, all normal as always every time I had taken it with them, the problem started days later when Sunday March 7th night I used my car for some errands and on my way to my home, my car was overheating (the engine) and once upon a reviewing it, I realize that it doesn't have a drop of antifreeze, so I waited to the next morning Monday March 8th to put antifreeze fluid on it and the car starts to spill everything (attached video). I decided to take it back to this place for a diagnosis, I left it there all morning and Monday afternoon, later on I receive a call from Chris telling me that a hose is damaged and it needs to be replaced, the total cost of "this work" is $673.11 as indicated on the receipt (highlighted in orange) I wondered why that price was so high so I decided to tow my car out of there since I couldn't drive it without a drop of antifreeze (this would further damage the engine and make things worse) and take it with someone else of my confidence and expert on this kind of cars and the diagnosis of this new person was totally different since it indicates that the hose was simply disconnected and didn't need replacement because it was in good condition, obviously the cost of this was much cheaper and without need of extra charges for new parts, it should be noted that this new person tells me that it is something very strange and unlikely that specifically that hose would come loose by itself. What makes me think these people from the "European motorwerks" wanted to take advantage of me by not being very expert on this and get extra money to make this movement of disconnecting the hose and having to go back to them for a "false" diagnosis and see me forced to leave the car under repair with them because I couldn't take it somewhere else and because they believed that I was going to stay like this with crossed arms and just let them steal that money from me. LAST THING! Yo can see this is my first review 'cause I'm not a believer of this stuff or of lost my time with this BUT in this case I did take my time cause to me this was bullshit read more

See all

Very willing to go over the details of my car's repair with me and felt very transparent

Great team very professional... They did a great job on my bmw 328i they also did a little check out for free. read more

(Your Rating) I came in for a diagnosis on my convertible top. They had it for over 6 weeks, and then charged me 500+ for the diagnosis. I would try to call for an update and wouldn't get a reply for weeks. My calls would go unanswered and go straight to voicemail. I used a friends phone to call and they answered first ring. The day after I got it back I opened the trunk to find it disassembled and missing parts. I would never bring my car here again. I would never suggest anyone use this place. read more

This place is honest and very communicative. I highly recommend for any needs. Audi tried charging me $620 for a tire issue and they did a great job/same job for only $130. The staff is friendly and they got it done in less than an hour. Highly recommend especially if you drive a foreign. read more

Today, after a long, tiring and stressful day, I missed some signs and made the mistake of turning into the wrong parking lot from Burnet when trying to get to a FedEx location I wasn't familiar with. I thought, maybe I could find an exit or turnaround (I did miss one, hidden behind fencing). An employee came out, and I thought, "Ah, I'll just let him know I took a wrong turn, I don't need assistance." Instead, I was screamed at, berated, because the employee assumed I was a liar. Thank you for the experience, it was so wonderful to be given the full dress down over a small mistake. You can see the wonderful employee below, in the screenshot from my dashcam. read more

European Motorwerks- Domain - The employee who screamed at me - Auto Repair Near Me - Austin, Texas

Took my BMW here for an oil change. The courteous, professional service is tops. If you have a European vehicle take it here.

Amazing!! Honestly, the best and fastest car service I have ever received. Took my 2012 VW Beetle in right at closing time on Friday and left it over Easter weekend. Got a call at 9:14am Monday morning with the diagnosis (coils) and was driving my car by 1:00pm that day. They were very detailed in their explanation of the issue and the price was extremely fair. These guys have my business! read more

I was driving down Burnet Rd to go to FedEx and drop off a package. I turned too early and ended up in the European Motorwerks parking lot. While looking for a spot to turn around, a male mechanic/ employee told me "there's no way out dumbass". My windows were rolled down because the weather is awesome today. As I was leaving, I heard him call me a "dumbass" one more time. My post is simple, be kind to others; mistakes happen. First impressions mean a lot when it comes to choosing a local business and unfortunately, this one has lost mine. read more

Please stay away from this company or you may spend your money without any reason. I spent $1,909.87 and they didn't fix my car. On December 2021 a check engine light showed up in my car (for the first time ever). I visited Autozone to scan my car and the OBD scanner showed that the only reason I got check engine light is an error related to code P0456 - Evap System Small Leak / Evaporative Emission System Lead Detected (very small leak). I scheduled an appointment at European Motorwerks (December 20th, 2021) to have my car fixed. Unfortunately, the check engine light came on again, 4 weeks later, for the same problem (I scanned my car again to Autozone). I went to European Motorwerks and asked them to fix my car for no charge because the problem related to check engine light and the Evaporation System was not fixed. They denied saying that this is another problem. European Motorwerks either intentionally fixed something irrelevant to the initial problem that I asked to be fixed (Evaporation System) or didn't do anything to my car at all. It is not a coincidence that 4 weeks after visiting European Motorwerks check engine light came on, with the same code. Apparently, check engine light was reset and then, after several driving cycles, the OBD was able to determine the same problem again. Also, the fact that they didn't want to accept my credit card in first place possibly indicates that this is something they systematically do to ensure that a transaction will not be disputed. In many reviews you may see that the merchant is saying "we have no customer in our database matching any of the information you provided". This is something they might say in case that they don't have a valid explanation to a review. My story is 100% true, otherwise I wouldn't spent time to write this review; I do it just to help the community and avoid any business with European Motorwerks. Thank you. read more

These guys are on the money! Great service, reasonably priced, professional and very respectful. Russell was the individual who took care of me and he was terrific. He explained my auto problem, what it would cost, how long it would take... and all with a professional demeanor...and a good sense of humor. I totally recommend this place for all of your auto repairs. read more

I brought in my 10+ year old Porsche that needed extensive repair. European Motorwerks quickly gave me a quote and a transparent explanation of what it needed and why. Their quote was a fraction of the cost a different shop quoted me the day before and were much better at answering my questions. They sourced great parts for my repairs, once again better than a previous shop offered. The repairs were done in a satisfactory timeframe and my vehicle was returned in great shape. Customer service was responsive and friendly throughout the process. I will be taking my other car here as well, and will recommend them. read more

Respectfully I wish I was here to say something good about the business. I had my vehicle towed because the "owner" said it was no problem to have my vehicle looked at and at the minimum diagnosed. My vehicle was there over a month and was never diagnosed. And to top things off this car place gave the keys and allowed someone else to gain possession of my vehicle. The car was supposed to be fixed for my son. I have yet to tell him his car has been stolen. I asked if they verify with the customer when a car is being picked up and never got a response. So here I am out of a few thousand dollars I spent on this vehicle and all I got was an I'm sorry. Very very disappointing. read more

I stopped goIng to the Audi dealership For service on my A6 because their customer is terrible and their prices are ridiculous. Customer service at European Motorwerks has been great, and their prices are reasonable. After dealing with the owner, Chris, I trust that they do a good job on the work that is necessary without adding unnecessary services. read more

Whether you're local or out of town, I highly recommend European Motorwerks! Eric and team took incredible care of me, and what really stood out was they went out of their way to provide stellar service. I'm based in California and was buying a used Porsche in the Austin, TX area. After a couple calls, I came across European Motorwerks to do a full buyer's inspection to assess the current state of the vehicle. I could tell they had pre-existing knowledge of Porsches and their prices were more competitive. Despite their busy schedules, they drove out to pick up and return the car from the dealer, which was a HUGE ask on my part since I'm out-of-town. They gladly did so, and were able to complete the inspection that same afternoon. Their work was very thorough and led to some key findings that enabled me to further negotiate the purchase price. TL;DR: Professional, timely, and trustworthy. If I was based in Austin, I'd definitely be back! read more

Did a great job with excellent service. They diagnosed the problem, scheduled a repair appointment, ordered the parts needed, and had my car ready to go. Courteous and thorough, answering all my questions. read more

Amazing service! I appreciate the service and level of detail this shop provides. Eric was awesome!

This shop prioritizes customer service and fosters customer loyalty. I've taken in my GTI for body work and simple fixes like headlight bulb replacement. Service is quick, friendly, and expert. Strong recommendation! read more

Worked with Eric and Chris on my 1995 E320 Benz that had problems. They fixed everything! Highly recommend if you have a European vehicle!

These guys saved me when I was dealing with another European car mechanic that is closer to my house. Proximity does not equal the best product. I thought I was going to have to get a new car, but these guys diagnosed a lesser problem, and I am SO happy to still be driving my 2007 BMW X3. They were able to reaffirm my love for my car. Which is a big deal- especially if you love to drive! read more

Thanks for all the help on my Ridgeline. Runs great! Will tell everyone to stop out and see you guys.

These guys are jerks! It was lightly raining and I accidentally turned too soon trying to get to a business next door. Their parking area was small and didn't see how to turn around. I decided to go around back and see if there was another way out or turn around back there. The other way out was by jumping the curb. I turn around and I find the way I came in was blocked by a gate. I saw a guy while I was turning around, but he disappeared. By the gate was two garage doors with windows. I see no one. I honk, wait 30 sec, honk a couple more, wait 30 sec, honk a couple more, wait a min, and nothing. I then honk a bit more aggressively, still no one after another min. I get out into the rain and I see my vision at the window I was at was blocked by a vehicle on a lift. I see there are a couple of mechanics blatantly ignoring me. I knocked on the garage door. Maybe they didn't hear me. I knocked again and had to wave over one of the mechanics. When he opened the garage door, I apologized and ask him to open the gate. He said I had to talk to the manager. I found the manager and when I was two words into asking for him to open the gate, he yelled at me to shut up. Then he berated me about honking and told me I should have just came in. He asked me if I saw the private property sign. I said I did not. He told me to go out and he will open the gate. These guys are rude and seem to get their jollies off trapping people in their fence. I do not expect to get a fair deal with a business like this. read more

I had a great experience here! I brought in my VW for a new water pump and new radiator hoses, etc. My car was ready very quickly and they worked with me on making payments. They even made sure I had transportation while they worked on my car. Great customer service and I would 100% recommend to anyone who needs work done! read more

I went to European Motorwerks to install a front splitter on my AMG and could not have been more satisfied with the quality of work. The splitter looks great and Chris and Eric were a pleasure to work with. I'll definitely be back in the future. A+++ read more

I had a wonderful experience here! I took my VW in for an oil change & also needed to order new tires. My tires were delivered within 24 hours and I was provided a loaner vehicle to use during the service time. Everyone from the owner, to the front desk, to the mechanics were very kind, professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend European Motorwerks! read more

Took my car into this company (Sept 29, 2020) to have the transmission repaired, I had to call this company almost everyday to get updates, Service Advisor: Eric Hallas, told me the car was not touched for a week do to the mechanic was out of town. The shop would give me a date for completion, and the date would pass and then a new date would be given and again I had to call again and again for updates. Car was completed Nov. 5th. When I went to pickup my car, (nobody was wearing a mask) we were greeted by a guy named Chris, who then told me the car was still not ready, was out for a test run (45 mins). Chris then came outside, ask why I had an issue with the length of time they had my car and I told him that it was just too much time for them to have my car and that set Chris off the rails. He started to yell and threaten me with physical harm along with profanity. I had to walk away from Chris because if I stayed, Chris would have assaulted me. Also, the shop charges 4% extra if you don't pay with cash or check. read more

I took my 530i BMW to these folks thinking that they would do a good job, boy was I wrong. First of all they had my car overnight, so the job should have been done right, but it wasn't. I'm a veteran an I expected to be treated with fairness an decency, well needless to say that didn't happen, my car broke down a week later an when I contacted the shop to speak with someone about the lack of them having an emergency number an had left several voice mails while closed, understandably upset, well the shop manager had no compassion, got into a yelling match with me, which I couldn't believe, an yelled his way out of culpability, no way jose' I will hire a lawyer an get legal advice from the veterans admin. PLEASE DONT GO HERE!!! an if you do, pay with a debit or credit card, regardless of the unlawful extra 4% they will charge, its worth it in case you have to dispute the charges due to bad work.... read more
