A five month project...........These guys fixed it in 5 minutes! Not kidding. 7 mechanics couldn't fix it! These chaps called me back within 15 minutes! read more

Always willing to help. These guys know what they are doing and their work is too notch. Great car doctors!!!

Took our X5 to German Performance and was diagnosed with needing to replace the charge pipes and a brake flush. We opted to pass on the charge pipes for now and told them to go ahead with the brake flush. I'm changing the oil today and I find that the upper end of the charge pipes was not re-attached, so our car has been sucking dirt into our turbo for the past month. Also, the engine cover was just laying under the hood, not reattached. Two bolts on the underside cover plate were also completely loose, as if someone took it off and just put the bolts in a few threads so as not to lose them... but then they never went back. So now I'm asking myself about the brake flush that we paid them for. Guess what, absolutely no marks, clean spots or signs of contact of any sort. THEY DIDN'T DO THE BRAKE FLUSH THEY CHARGED US FOR!!! IS THIS EVEN SAFE?!? Sorry so emotional but the wound is fresh as I just found all of this in the last hour. Un-fukn-believable read more

Fast and a great deal for an emergency road trip repair on our Eurovan Camper. I guess we got lucky with where we broke down because VW service is really hit or miss depending on the shop. German Performance was fantastic! read more

I'm in such gratitude and appreciation of Bryan Rice and his crew at German Performance. I'm new to Southern Cal moving over from Northern Cal, I was actually referred to them by an employee at AutoZone. When I arrived, I was greeted right away and Bryan not only listened to my concerns involving my 2001 Mercedes CLK 430, but offered to check it over that afternoon if I had time. I was so glad they could take time to do that. I then made an appointment to have my steering damper fixed which they were able to do while I waited. It took no time at all. They went above and beyond by cleaning my motor mounts which were covered with hydrolic fluid, and determined the mounts were good. I appreciate knowing I can confidently bring my car here for care and repair as a woman and be treated with respect and kindness. Bryan answered my many questions with patience and friendliness. Thank you Bryan and technicians of German Performance!!! It's such a relief that I have a reliable and honest car repair shop so close to my home. read more

Great service, friendly people and a job well done. What more can you ask for? Oh, maybe price? That too is pretty good! Fair pricing on their excellent work is what you get. Very good communication all along the way. Yes, I am a new fan. read more

Did well and price was only 540 for fluid flush! I was quoted 800 by all other places, highly recommend!!

German Performance is hands down the only place I will take my vehicles. They are honest, have integrity, and stand behind their work. Recently I received a quote from a local BMW dealer for a repair when I brought it in for an oil change which was covered as part of my purchase (2 free years of oil changes...only reason I went somewhere else). I went to German Performance to double check the quote and they were 1.5k cheaper than my quoted price for the repair . They took the time to help, and direct me. Highly recommended, I have had my multiple BMWs serviced here, an Audi S4, as well as a Mercedes E550. read more

What what I like most about German is that they will talk to you about your car and they listen to what you want to do. If you're like me and have a lot of experience with the various cars you own, they'll take your feedback and direction and do what you need to have done. If you have your own parts sourced, they use them and knock the work out and get back to you without issues. They can handle older and newer models including recoding for batteries and updates, etc. i have had transmission service, cooling, suspension, and battery work done in past 5 years. I highly recommend their workmanship for my BMWs. read more

My 2018 BMW 4 Series w/ M package had a oil cooler leak. They fixed it and found another coolant leak which they ended up repairing too. Good price and repair time but reasonable versus going to BMW of SLO as they are money hungry. Bryan is good with his customers and reaches out to them after the repair. I highly recommend German Performance but don't recommend purchasing a BMW as their parts quality is so poorly made. read more

Always attentive to service and repair items missed or overcharged by dealers. Bryan and techs very friendly and knowledgeable.

Returning from a family road trip, my Audi Q7 showed an alarm and the engine started banging just south of Atascadero. After turning the car off and on, I was able to get to German Performance. With no heads up and a full garage, they immediately ran diagnostics on my car. They went over the results with me and were able to tell me that I could make it back to the San Francisco area. They then told me that there was no charge. I was floored. They easily could have told me that they needed to do the work, but were more interested in helping me and then didn't charge even for that. This is an honest (and caring) shop. read more

This is the place to go. Great mechanics. Great service. Honest. Good people. What more can you ask for? read more

It's difficult these days to find a business that you can trust completely. German Performance is one that you can trust. These guys are the absolute best! You can be driving down the road and a message comes in from out of the blue and it's Brian asking if all is well with your vehicle. Then when service comes due there's a message for that as well. The prices are right where you'd expect and the customer relations are very welcoming. Me and my 2021 Mini Cooper JCW are big fans! They have my trust. read more

Seems like everytime I call them hardly ever does someone pick up the phone, and anytime I have a serious issue they tell me to take it to the dealer I feel the only thing they want to do is simple stuff like change fluids read more

You know they are the best on the central coast when you see in the work bay a Ferrari F8, two Porsche 911s and other amazing cars. The best part is although they're clientele is top notch they don't price gouge you. They are super fair, they do great work and are really fast, honestly what more could you ask for....except for maybe that Ferrari F8 lol. read more

Great people , they can do anything from single turbo kits to simple maintenance. Great prices compared to these other German shops that charge a leg and a arm for stuff . Never had a problem even when my injector got stuck in my engine and no other shop dared to help me they got it out in a hour . Couldn't be more happy . Always my go to shop !! read more

Always done right and in a timely manner. Doesn't overcharge for things that don't need to be done.

German Performance has serviced our cars for years! Prices are fair, they are honest and trustworthy mechanics! Highly recommended!

As we exited the 101S from Monterey preparing to take 46E to the 5S to LA there was this disturbing noise. My husband slowly turned right into an Arco gas station and I immediately prepared to call AAA to be towed to America's Tires thinking it was a flat. Unfortunately it was not a flat . The tow truck driver said a bolt had broke connected to the brake. So then I hit Yelp for a mechanic and Yelp came through with German Performance who is ASE certified. I called and Brian was very professional and informed me that they could help but they closed at five. So by the time the tow gets to us in Paso Robles and drives to Atascadero the shop is closed. We left our car and took Uber to the Holiday Inn Express. Free a wonderful breakfast we Ubered back to German Performance where the assessed the problem, said it was an easy fix, just needed to order the part. They had to order the part from Volvo since it was unavailable at regular their sources, of course this added another day! Brian drove us back to Holiday Inn Express because it's practically around the corner from the shop! So on Wednesday afternoon our car was ready!! We had a complimentary late check out and waited for Brian to come get us(such great customer service). We left German Performance happy to resume our journey home with a bill that was much less than we had expected!! God's handiwork was with from breakdown to the fix up!! Brian and Team thank you for stellar customer service and professional work on our 2009 Volvo XC90.!! read more

Excellent service from German proformance on my s8 again, thanks guys..................

I always get prompt, expert service at German Performance. They inform me of things that might need attention in the future but never surprise me with additional work. I recently had an oil pan seal replaced and the cost was less than half of another estimate I received. read more

I took my Mini Cooper S in for a routine service. A year ago, they checked it out and said all was well. And it was. So, I took it back for an oil change and a check up and, again, was told all is well. I have 100% confidence that German Performance is giving me excellent service and keeping my Mini in top condition. read more
