Master German Technicians have invaded Staunton. Lucky you.
If you need to spend twice as much at the dealership (Audi/BMW/Mercedes) because they have nice chairs and free coffee, then stop reading now.
If you want to save 1/2 your maintenance cost and be thrilled with the work, keep reading:
I own an Audi with 135k+ miles on it that was burning significant oil. By significant I mean over a quart+ of oil every time I filled it with gas. (40 quarts a year!) This had been going on for 5 years and over 60k miles.
Two different Audi dealers outside a major metro city (top 5 largest city in US), and then other 'factory trained' mechanics at private shops, could not figure out what was wrong.
And then, driving through Staunton, I stumbled on German Motor Works, and thought I'd give it a go, even though exterior is run down.
Surprise! These guys fix the problem. No it was not something simple -- you'd really have to know engines to figure this one out -- yet it cost under $300 to fix!
You'd think a tiny town in the middle of nowhere would have zero mechanics that understand German / European cars. You'd be wrong. You'd think by looking at this shop (a bit run down) that they might not be the best. You'd be wrong.
Since then I've had a lot more work done on the car -- and every time the price is very reasonable, and the work outstanding.
The only thing these guys don't understand is how to advertise! read more
