I recommend this auto repair shop.

Cadillac can no longer reair and they do not make the part and only can replace with new parts. Venice Auto Techs are professional and knowledgeable. Igor was very responsive and engaging when diagnosing the issues. Venice Auto Tech was able to source the part which I was told by others would be very difficult to find and replace and program the ABS module in the care. He was able to do the ABS module replacement and programming work for reasonable rates AND, they warranty their work as well. I am very well pleased with this company and will use these mechanics going forward. Give them a try!

From gear shit replacement, brakes, tires, etc, they have never let me down. I also have found them to not overcharge the way other businesses have been known to do.

I made an appointment to have the oil changed at 1:00 on a Friday and it went really well. The service writer was very helpful and courteous. It took about 45 minutes and the cost was reasonable. No upsell, no delay, just quick service. I overhear several phone calls with customers while I was waiting that sounded very professional and honest. The waiting room was the cleanest that I have ever experienced in a small shop like this. They had water and seltzer in a mini fridge. They also had a Kurig for coffee. I recommend them to anyone needing service. Thanks for a great service experience.

He has always been able to get me in quickly, diagnose the problem accurately, and complete the repairs in a timely manner with high-quality workmanship. What impresses me most is Dave's knowledge and honesty. He takes the time to explain what's wrong, what needs to be fixed, and just as importantly what doesn't need to be fixed. In a business where unnecessary repairs can add up fast, I truly appreciate that Dave focuses on what is actually needed and has saved me a lot of money because of it.

We needed work on both vehicles, chose to visit Horst's Barvarian Autoworks, based on reviews, even though we do not own a German vehicle. We are delighted we did. A-1 SERVICE! Owner Horst met us on our inquiry visit, I decided to try them. Now living in FL, my classic 1990 Miata needed AC coolant refreshed. Unfortunately, I learned that meant an AC conversion to R-134 (from old ozone impacting refrigerant). The work was done as promised and the price was VERY GOOD! Everyone at Horst's Barvarian is client focused, from the office team, mechanics, and of course Horst himself. Two days later we had our other car undergo routine service, another positive experience complete with proactively offered honest suggestions. Try Horst's Barvarian Autoworks, you will be pleased.
