This is the place to take your car. German Motor Works is beyond a normal shop. Their passion for perfection is unlike any other shop I've used. I brought my 2012 Mercedes S550 with numerous undiagnosed issues. German Motor Works diagnosed, communicated with me and got me back on the road quickly - all for a very reasonable price. I'm in love with my car again thanks to German Motor Works. And, I have money left over to take her out to dinner! read more

My Panamera S was not performing up to its usual standard. I had it carried to German Motor Works for diagnosing any issues. I was pleased with the communication and work performed by their mechanics after finding the problem. Good value for quality work. I recommend this German Auto Shop. read more

I brought my Mercedes-Benz here looking for a German auto shop I could actually trust, and I'm so glad I did. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced with Mercedes vehicles. They took the time to explain what my car needed without pushing unnecessary repairs, which I really appreciated. The work was done right the first time, pricing was fair. It's refreshing to find a shop that values honesty, quality, and customer service as much as they do. I wouldn't take my Mercedes anywhere else and highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a reliable German auto specialist. read more

Extremely happy with my experience and service i received on my car today. - offers too Uber you home & back when car is completed - **clean garage - organized - nice/comfortable waiting area - quick service - great customer service - VW parts ordered from actual VW dealership rather than some cheap random alternative Ryan was very efficient & informative when it came to checking me in and helping to describe (all) of the issues that needed repair on my car. I knew it would be a lot but he was able to answer every single question i had and didn't brush any of them off (as a woman that tends to happen or they tell me to put my dad on the phone - this business does not brush you off). The gentlemen working in the garage seemed happy to be there, all very kind to me, and were working hard the entire time i was there. Definitely a teamwork environment as cheesy as that sounds. Will be back fs read more

They're always willing to help you. Very kind and have an attention to detail. Thank y'all!

Great service and honest work. Joe, the new owner, is friendly, knowledgeable, and makes sure everything is done right. Highly recommend this shop! read more

AVOID German Motor Works. Poor Workmanship, Dishonest Communication, and a damaged vehicle. I strongly advise anyone considering German Motor Works to reconsider, especially if you're expecting professional communication, accountability, or even basic care for your vehicle. I initially brought my Audi to this shop after the dealership quoted excessive labor hours for a repair. German Motor Works, specifically Asad and Matt, assured me they could complete the same job within the warranty approved time. I dropped my car off that same Thursday. Matt, reassured me the job would be completed within five days which was important because that was the length of my rental coverage. By Monday (day 4), I still hadn't received an update. I contacted my warranty provider only to find out the shop had not even submitted an estimate. When I followed up with Asad, he gave a vague excuse and shifted blame to his manager. Later, I was told the parts were on backorder and had to pick up my car without any work completed. Once the parts were in, I dropped off the car again while I left for a work trip. Communication became increasingly unclear. Asad began using vague sales tactics, implying they had limited flexibility in pricing due to shop margins. After some back and forth, the repairs were eventually "completed", and I picked up my car. Immediately after, I noticed the fender moldings were not flush and appeared loose. Upon closer inspection, two screws were missing. I returned to the shop, where Matt denied the screws were ever there but that he would order them and get them installed. When I followed up on on Monday, he claimed the screws were now available, contradicting his earlier denial and effectively admitting they had simply been left out. I brought the car in again, and though the screws were reinstalled, the fender moldings remained loose. I pointed this out, and the technician attempted to explain that the "tabs were aligned," ignoring the actual issue: they were not staying in place. After further inspection at home, I reviewed the OEM installation procedure and discovered the tabs had been broken off from the back which is consistent with someone forcefully removing the moldings without releasing them properly from behind the fender liner. This damage clearly occurred during their repair process. Further compounding the issue, I found two new dents on the driver's door and a dent with touch-up paint on the hood. None of which were present when I initially dropped off my car. When I addressed this via a check in text I received, Matt again denied responsibility and referenced security footage, claiming it showed "no difference." Of course, such footage would not capture fine body panel details or tab breakage behind trim pieces. The attempt to shift blame and gaslight the customer instead of taking accountability is deeply concerning. The communication was disorganized, the workmanship was sloppy, and additional damage was done to my vehicle. The dismissive and evasive responses I received from both Asad and Matt only reinforced my experience: this shop prioritizes cutting corners and avoiding responsibility over delivering professional, trustworthy service. Bottom line: This shop caused more damage than they fixed and refused to own up to it. I would not recommend German Motor Works under any circumstance. I'll include screenshots of the text communication. read more

See all

If you've got a German car, I highly recommend this place. Had an air suspension issue on my Audi S8 and they fixed it up and did added an oil change too. Ryan and Joe kept it real, explained everything, and the price was way better than Audi. Super easy experience and great work. I'll be back for sure. read more

We've been taking our vehicles to German Motors for the past few months and the experience has been excellent. The team is knowledgeable, courteous and keeps us well informed throughout the process. I highly recommend this shop, especially the owner, Joe, who is consistently on top of things and communicates with honesty and transparency. read more

Hello GMW team!! Yes everything is running smoothly with my 2007 BENZ now, no more engine light on, no more suspension problems and no more squeaky noise from the shock absorber in the back of the car. Thanks for all that y'all do, your mechanics are the best!!! For the amount I paid, is all worth it!! Definitely percent awesome job!! 10 stars read more

Always come in for all my german car needs and will continue to do so! Friendly and knowledgeable crew! read more

IThey "serviced" my car twice within one week, and both times it came back worse than when it went it. I went from getting an oil change to I need a whole new entire engine in a SPAN of ONE week. I drove my car in for both appt, but by the end of the 2nd one I had to get it towed, as it wouldn't even start. AND I had to pay for the tow of course! And the "diagnostic" charge. And for the oil change that started this all. Now I'm left with no car, and NO accountability on their part. Even lied to my face! I feel so scammed. Now I have to get a 2nd opinion and possibly a lawyer. read more

bad service did not fix my car right made my car have more problems I would reccomend to not come here

After decades of dealing with dealers and private mechanics, I feel like I found gold! What an experience! Super group of smart folks that do impeccable work. Right on estimate and fast. They even detailed my car at no request or cost. If you own a German car, make this your go-to solution! read more

Do not use this shop. Matt the gmo is a lier. I took my BMW here. Office staff is a joke and unprofessional. They replaced a water pump, ran my car without filing up the antifreeze and burned the head gasket and said it wasn't thier fault. Gave my car to me without completing the reinstall of the interior dash. I've filled a law suit on this shop. Do not go here for anything read more

I always bring my Mercedes here, very fast and efficient, recommend to anyone who is looking for a new place!

Excellent service by professional and friendly personnel. The waiting room is bright and comfortable and includes free coffee, soft drinks, and water. If your German vehicle is out of warranty, this is your source for repair and restoration. If they do not have an answer to your problem or concern, they will research it. While several of my car's issues were straight forward such as a component failure, the latest had to do with the main radio and information module. Their research revealed factory bulletins diagnosing and outlining the process to correct it. While my BMW is "vintage", we also use them for my wife's 2019 X3's routine fluid changes, etc.. Call them. You will not be disappointed. read more

We took our Mercedes there to get the air conditioning fixed. When we went to pick up the car, it was making a strange horn sound. I immediately called German Motor Works to report the noise that wasn't there when I brought the car in for service. When I brought the car back they said they can't detect where the noise was coming from. All they did was drive the car around and said the noise had nothing to do with the compressor they replaced and it wasn't their fault. My husband spoke with them and they basically said they don't know what is causing the noise an hour d they aren't g to fix it. Don't take your car there for repairs. read more

German Motor Works fixed my car to perfection. It runs like a new car. My car is 14 years old, has 8 cylinders, and I can't tell it's running. I get 30 mpg with A/C. read more

I really want to support Matthew and team as a qualified German auto alternative to dealer service. They are very capable, detailed, and committed to performing repairs at reasonable price. The only negative is their communication system is badly broken. Possibly due to high demand and short staffing, it is nearly impossible to talk to anyone by phone, even if their inbox isn't full and you leave a VM. Hope they can sort this out soon else my business will go elsewhere. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but I had such a pleasant experience that it deserves to be mentioned. They got me scheduled the very next day and fixed my car issue for a fraction of what Firestone quoted me. The owner, Matthew, was SO helpful and you can really tell they care about their customer's experience. I will definitely be returning for future maintenance! read more

Matthew from German Motor Works is as good as it gets! I had some people try to take advantage of me at Audi Dallas (I'm younger and a girl). I took my car here for a second opinion and I will never take my car to Audi again. Matthew is honest, takes his time explaining the problems, and his customer service is 100%. I cannot say enough good things and only wish I had found Matthew and German Motor Works sooner. read more

My cars. 2005 350z Touring. 138K miles 2002 BMW 325i 233k miles. 2005 Nissan Titan $310k miles. I repair my vehicles. I always have. I'm 53 and I've learned the hard way what a scammer looks like. These guys are the best shop I've ever dealt with. Matt is simply the shiz. No BS. No read more

5 Stars! These guys truly know German cars. I went to them a couple of months ago and they took extra care to diagnose what was wrong with my BMW and fixed it quickly. I got a quote from a couple of BMW dealerships in the DFW area and German Motor Works fixed the issues I had for the most competitive rate. They're easy to work with, they do excellent work in a timely manner, and you don't have to sell an organ on the black market to pay for the labor costs. Matthew was extremely courteous, honest, and knowledgeable. 5 stars to these guys all around. I can't recommend them enough!! read more

The best technicians work here. They know their stuff and they work hard for you. I got my oil changed and my car aligned.

This place is trash. Guy at the front desk has the worst communication I've dealt with in a while. I go cars blowing hot get a diagnostic and says it's the a/c compressor. Tells me it'll be here in two days. I call 5 days later to check if it arrived but then says I didn't give him verbal approval. And then wants to have an attitude about it when I asked why he would say it would be here in two days. I approve the part then he hangs up on me with out scheduling anything no I'll call you back nothing. Customer service is everything I used to exclusively go here just for there customer service but it's sad to see it go down hill like that. I called back to cancel the order because I didn't like the guys attitude and he start going off don't ever bring your car back here I know how this game goes I'll still be riding in a nice German car after they fire you then I'll be back but until that day read more

All the guys who work there are helpful, attentive and absolutely amazing!!! Their knowledge is unparalleled. Have been coming here for years. Frost for my Mercedes and now for my BMW. Will never take my cars anywhere else!! read more

I've been frequenting this shop for years now (mostly for work on a 2001 BMW M5) and have had the opportunity to interface and observe them in a variety of situations. I have yet to experience or see (with other customers) a situation that they were not putting forth the customers' best interests first (i.e. identifying work under warranty and saving the customer substantially) or attempting their best to satisfy the customers' needs. I have seen circumstances that could have been resolved better, or could have been avoided, but at the end of the day honest intention, trust, and competence carry the service/client relationship. As long as I own a car they are willing/able to work on, I will continue to use this business because they have my trust. read more

If I could give this place ZERO stars I absolutely would. Joe and his team are all gone, and have been replaced with people that have no customer service skills, are dishonest and completely shady. The difference is night and day!! After THREE different experiences that went from questionable to HORRIBLE I finally decided to take my business elsewhere. The other car shop that I was forced to take my car to after it RAN OUT OF OIL within WEEKS of getting an oil change confirmed my suspicions about the type of show they are running now at German Motor Works and I will never return. read more

Wow, surprised this place doesn't have more reviews. I came here about 6 months ago when I was changing out the expansion tank on my BMW X3 and didn't realize I needed to get the thermostat valve with it. They were one of the only places in town that had the part in stock and let me buy it from them without a markup. Based off of that experience I decided to take my car to them to have it looked at after I was having several issues. They fixed a slight leak I had with my coolant (because I didn't snap a hose on right), fixed an issue with my ac refrigerant not being at the right pressure and did all my belts, tensioner pulleys and found a couple of minor issues for me, all while shooting me straight. They didn't try to act like there was something else wrong with my coolant (which they could have) to get more money out of me. They didn't try and convince me to do anything which could wait. These guys were pretty straight shooters all around and in the end, charged me about 35% less then I was quoted from another highly rated european mechanic on yelp for the same work. I double checked the work they did when I got home and everything looks as it should. Do yourself a favor and check these guys out. Yelpers, if you've used them and have something to say about your experience, Let us all know. These guys deserve way more credit. As a side note, I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up my car and found they washed it free of charge. Great experience... will be back again! read more

First time customer with SLK32. Top cylinder leaking fluid. Much more reasonable price than dealer who refused to install original MB part as I hadn't purchased from them. Top works great ! Also was advised of some extra issues that needed to be addressed, They completed all of them at great prices and quality work. German Motor Works will now be my go to shop. Car was washed and looked beautiful when delivered. Also very close to home, a real plus ! Recommend highly. ! read more

I want to put in a good word for the team at German Motor Works. We brought our 2008 C350 in to address some mechanical problems that we'd been experiencing for a little while now which could only be diagnosed by describing what the vehicle is doing and demonstrating the noise that was making. We were given the car back several times and were asked to drive it to verify that we had the problem solved and they worked with us to make sure they got it right. I would recommend German Motor Works for your repair. read more

I've been to several shops in Dallas and no one could get my 1987 560SL running right. . . Until now. Michael and his team brought my classic Mercedes back to life!! I'm ready to get another 30 years out of her!! read more

Perfect place to get your car take care off I had a major work done here, and they fixed everything for me. I have been come here for the last two years, and I am a happy customer. They always have a great employees! read more

I have been going to German Works since about 2008, Back then is was Mike, then I believe it was Joe and Now these guys in 2020. They seem nice and somewhat knowledgeable. I brought my G-wagon in for a battery light, they got it fixed and price was fine. But here's the problem. While they had it one of the techs broke my inner driver door handle. So they call and tell me that they broke the handle and it would be 125 for them to diagnose what they broke and an estimated 525 to fix what they broke. Of course I declined and was there to get my wagon in about 5mins after that. I could tell he was waiting for me to through a fit for them to do whats right, but why should I have to make a scene over something so simple. What the should have done was once they broke it, take off door panel see what they broke and then contact me and tell me they broke some and how much it would cost and ask if I mind paying maybe 25% or so since it broke while they had it. I've owned the G for almost 2 years now without issue， but they tell me the door looks like its under stress and that's why it broke. If they are not willing to stand behind small mistakes I can no longer recommend them to anyone. I took off door panel myself which is like 3 screws in 4mins. The door handle inside plastic was broken and i ordered a new one today for 110. Problem Solved. THE CHARACTER OF A PLACE IS ONLY APPARENT WHEN A ISSUE ARRISES. MOST SHOPS ARE OK AS LONG AS THINGS GO ACORDING TO PLAN. IF YOU HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE NO MATTER HOW SMALL YOU MAY NOT REALLY KNOW A SHOP read more

I am a 1st time customer to German Motor Works and they totally impressed me. After having my SL550 to the $tealership, they recommended numerous items to be "fixed". I took my "baby" to Matt at GMW. They looked it over and found that only 2 items needed attention. They performed B service items and recharged my A/C. Since a break fluid flush was borderline, Matt said he would throw that in the deal. They did a thorough inspection of my car and gave me the all clear after performing the stated services. They're prices are lower than the dealer prices and are certainly more trustworthy. I will return with my 2011 20k baby. Thanks for the thorough job Matt. And for getting it back to me in 1/2 day! read more

I took my BMW 5 series here because my check engine light came on. I made an appointment on Mon and dropped my car off at 9AM on Tues 07/21. They took 2 days to diagnose and 2 days to fix the problem. I got my car back at the end of the day on Fri 07/24. In addition, they stated that my car needed 1. the lower control arms (Right & Left side) need to be changed. This was correct because I knew the arms started making noises more than 3 months ago. 2. The oil pan gasket. Did not need to be replaced. 3. The front rotor & brake pads need to be changed. They stated that there were only 15% of the pads remaining. Not true! I just replaced them a month ago! 4. The rear rotors & brake pads need to be changed. They stated again that the rear also has only 15% of the pads left. Again, not true! I replaced them along with the front a month ago! Out of 4 things stated, only 1 was true! Not a trust-worthy place! They assumed that I did not know much about my BMW. I played dumb to see how they were. In reality, I know a lot about my car because I have been driving it for 15 yrs and kept excellent maintenance on it! I wanted to post so everyone can be aware of things that they can make up that are wrong with your car. One true & 3 untrue! read more

I called this establishment to inquire if they worked on SAABs. The person who answered the phone rudely asked if they were made in Germany. When I replied no but it was a European car they said "No!" and hung up. read more

Horrible customer service! The people who now run this shop are inept. Former reviews of this establishment were in the high marks (which is why I chose it) but that was when someone named Joe managed the place. He is no longer there and seems that his crew went with him. I took my car in and was promised it would be ready the next day. Needles to say, it wasn't ready. Being promised again that it would be ready the following day....it wasn't ready. An excuse of "the parts people didn't deliver the right part." So, my car was there for 3 days...after driving 75 miles, the check engine light came back on....Returned to the garage and I was told they would replace the part they put in at no cost...again saying it would be ready the next day. It wasn't ready and sat in the parking lot over the 4th of July weekend. I was promised that it would be delivered to my house by 12:00 on the following Monday.....again, promise broken. The guy delivering it could not find my house....which is 3 turns and less that 3 miles from the garage. Again, the check engine light comes on....I returned to the garage and was told a gas cap would be ordered......never received a call saying that the part was in. After driving around with the engine light on and thinking on how unprofessional these people are, I took my car to a different garage that was able to fix the problem the same day!! They had to redo what German Motor Works supposedly had done. I went back to GMW to see if they would credit my account for their defective part. While I was waiting to speak to them, two people were complaining about how their cars were not ready at the time stated. One person walked out very angry and the other said they will never come back to this place. I was told that they could not credit any account for work they didn't do so I received nothing for the defective part they sold to me. (I knew if I left my car there for them to work on, they would keep it for days.) So now I understand German Motor Works and how they operate.... they are as good as their word....broken promises. I suggest they get an appointment book and stop using the word "promise." read more
