The video says it all - how can you trust a so-called "specialist" when you drive away in worse condition than you came in with? I was pulled over by a state trooper when he noticed that fuel was leaking from my car. Here is what he saw... read more

See all

John, Simon, Todd, and the whole team at GAT are incomparable in their expertise, professionalism, and kindness. They are the real deal: honest with their assessments and estimates, never try to "up charge" you for services that are just not needed, and will always welcome you with a smile and friendly conversation. Not only have we taken our German-heritage cars there, but they have also serviced our 30-year-old Ford truck and a variety of Hondas for us over the years. We simply will not go anywhere else for our car care, because these guys are the best. read more

Update: the headlights are extremely dim. What the heck did I pay for?

Absolutely amazing service. I came in early morning and they were done by the afternoon. The best prices in the best authentic German parts. The owner is very kind and honest. They look out for you and make sure to treat your car with the upmost respect. I will most definitely recommend them to everyone. And they are the best mechanic shop I found in Southern California. read more

The head guy here was a former Nasa engineer, and is very smart. He is funny and also honest about work. German cars can get very very fussy with problems that can be hard to trace. John and this outfit have always fixxed everythjng ive ever brought them, including very hard to trace problems, like minor electricity related problems, on and on. One of the best mechanics ive ever met. read more

This place is a Scam. Very unprofessional people who are just looking to take your money. Wish I would've never let them work on my car. unfortunately it's too late for me, but I'm hoping this review will save you time and most importantly money. DON'T GO HERE. My car was leaking coolant and they charged me $185 just to look at it. Of course they said it goes toward repairs. Ultimately needed a water pump. All in all, they charged me $1150 out the door. Without telling me the cost beforehand. They don't even give you an invoice or any legit documents. Everything is handwritten on a paper.( This is unprofessional) I bought a part and they offered to install it free of charge but then a guy there(Probably the owner) hustled me into returning the part and charging me more for the same exact part that I returned to an O'reilly's next door. He said he only uses genuine OEM parts. Thats what he would put it in for me. Long story short, I was better off taking my car to the dealership and paying the same but at least I'll have peace of mind. I don't even know if these dudes are certified mechanics. Better safe than sorry. I didn't have many options, it was a Saturday so not many places were available for me. Take your car elsewhere, and always call around. If you have a place that you go to regularly then good. But for anyone who is looking around, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST. Thanks for reading. read more

Wow, I am impressed with this company, radio came in very quick, California to Naples Fl in 2 1/2 days. Radio looks like new for my 20 year old mint SLK. Great instructions and even included the two tools that releases the unit, so went in garage and in 5 minutes installed, now great sound and a very happy customer, I will spread the word on your Company to my friends with German autos that some day may need your services. again thank you!

Top Notch service!! We had such a pleasant experience here. When they discovered an unexpected problem with our car, they drove all the way to Glendale to pick up the part and installed it! We had a major problem, but they took care of it and had the car ready in just a few hours from start to finish. Honest, friendly, and professional all the way. Look no further for VIP service! read more

Super professional, honest, friendly, and excellent service. I truly feel like I can trust them. Thank you John!

I was looking for the other shop but went to this shop by accident . The guy who was nice enough helping me with top off my coolant and windshield fluid . Never have such experience at auto shop before . Will come back or recommend any friends who own Germany cars ! Thanks again . read more

John and his whole team have taken such great care of me and VW Passat wagon for the last couple years. They are honest and are people of integrity. I had a big repair that needed to be done and had been going to the dealership for repairs. I was searching for a local mechanic that I could trust and after meeting several mechanics I knew German Auto Tech was the right fit for me. They have always done a phenomenal job repairing my car. I would hightly recommend them to anyone looking for a VW specialist!!! read more

How come everyone that is rating this place has no previous reviews...kinda weird I say. Anyhow, this place isn't worth the hype, you're keep bringing your car here for repair because nothing gets fixed right the first time around. Most of the guys that hang out at the place with the owner are friends of he owner, most of the cars are either very old bmw, porsches, etc and there are a few that remove the original emblems on a beamer and put up M3 emblems up. So don't believe everything you see. BUYER BEWARE LOOK ELSEWHERE read more

German Autotech is by far the most superior repair shop that you could take your car to. They have worked on all of our cars, including our 76 BMW 2002 and our 81 Porsche 930 Turbo. They are very honest, very dependable and will take care of you like you are a friend. I highly recommend if you need help with your German car, call John and get it fixed. read more

Awesome shop and good quality service! They really care about each customer and go out of their way to make sure everything is to your liking. Simon is hands down the most hard working guy I've ever met, he will pick up drop off give you rides etc. never leaves you hanging no matter what situation your car is in. These guys know what they're doing!! read more

Great shop, great service... these guys were professional, prompt, and really knew what they were doing. Highly recommended!!!

I'm so happy that I brought my car over here for a repair. I recently got rear ended on the freeway and I didn't want to take my car to BMW because I knew how expensive it would be. John and his team were very prompt and made my car look like brand new. I'm so happy with the way that it looks. They will be my go to place for repairs! read more

This mechanic shop is the best. I never bring any of my cars anywhere else. The owner, John, is such a friendly and trustworthy man! He's always there to help out in any way he can. A++ for customer service! Also, it's in a really convenient location for those that live local. Right on Route 66! Such an awesome place with amazing service! Don't believe the bad reviews that you read here. I have brought in my Mercedes C240, my Volkwagen Cabrio, and even my FIAT & they have been able to fix them up in no time the first time around! Never had any new problems pop up or got cheated out with price, as you usually get at other repair shops. This place is seriously THE BEST! Don't take your European cars anywhere else! Trust the good reviews on here, they are the real representation of this awesome shop! read more

Awesome service competitive prices. I will be back. John and the crew are very professional and conduct business accordingly.

The service was better than ive ever expected. Personality was a big drawer and they went above and beyond to make sure that my vw passat 2000 was running perfectly he fixed things that I didn't ask him to fix it almost brought me to tears because he said no charge its your first car. They will def be my choice of auto shop he even replsce my blinker light for free and reglued my mirror. Thank you German Auto i can't express it enough!!! read more

DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO GERMAN AUTO TECH. I brought my car into them to have a temperature sensor installed and they broke my radiator. My radiator had NO Leaks before I brought my car to them. I even had a diagnostic done before and there was no leaks. The mechanic "Todd" if that is his real name is very unprofessional and does not know what he is doing! I had to tow my car home and when I looked at my engine there were things missing. Todd is a thief!!!!!!!!! They will be hearing from my attorney shortly!!!!! read more

Unbelievably nice and fabulously helpful!!! I'd give six stars if I could. My family was in Claremont looking at the colleges with our high school daughter. We were on a family road trip from Northern California. Our check engine light came on as we got to Claremont last night. I was worried about driving all the way home with a possible problem. A little yelp research led me to Prevent Car Care. They don't work on Range Rover, but walked me next door to German Autotech. They spent quite a while trying to get the computer diagnostic to interface correctly. After about 45 minutes, it turned out to be absolutely nothing, just a light that needed to be reset. They checked everything out, gave it all an ok, and then wouldn't let me pay them anything. This after spending at least 45 minutes of their time helping me out. My nine year old son was with me, and this was a great life lesson on how to treat people, how to win customers and in general how it always is the right thing to be nice to people. I wish I lived here. I'd never take my car anywhere else. Thanks! read more

Just had an oil and filter change on my Porsche Boxster . John and Paul are the best. They went out of there way to please me. I shall return for additional services. read more
