Inquired about a refund. No response back. Never received any receipts for anything I've been charged for. Still haven't received my car key or transmission back. Keep my money but at least return my own property... Shawn-otherwise known as Ishai Fima changed his personal number to his business line. He will scam you, then rebrand his business. Current business is under Forza Garage and Performance. BAR can't help because Stuttgart invoiced me under the business name of Gasoline Alley Motor Company. I hope the someone else's review about getting scammed for 15k, in addition to my own review of getting scammed for 60k can save someone else in the future. Do what you will with this information but I'd recommend taking business elsewhere. read more

i had the best deal with this guys. they were prompt in getting my car, and once they checked whats wrong with it they did not go running around circles in letting me know what seems to be the problem. they also gave me the best quote so i could shop around and compare with other shops in my neighborhood. and when i decided to let them do the works, i was more than satisfied with the service. hope to do business with you guys again in the future. read more

My friend, a BMW collector, put me onto Stuttgart's a few years ago and I've been loyal ever since. We make the drive (or sometimes a tow) from West Hollywood to Chatsworth because he's that good. Sean has a way of taking care of us and our vehicles that makes us feel like family. Authentic and honest, he never hesitates to give it to us straight and puts forth the best suggestions to save us money along the way. Can't recommend highly enough! read more

I talked to Sean, and I had my car transported there for a restoration and rebuilding I paid him $15,000 and my car came out like garbage. He lied to me he put parts on my car that was never there. He told me he did work to my car that he never did was please people beware in the semi Valley San Fernando Valley, California he is a con artist. I am taking legal measurements and he is going to get sued for this. read more

Honestly wow! Just wow! Anytime you need a major repair on a car it's nerve racking, unsettling and causes way more of a headache than anyone would like to have. Not with these gentlemen. Over my lifetime I've done auto repairs and while I'm the Marine Corps often did regular maintenance on humvees and other vehicles, so the days of getting under the hood are behind me. That being said I was nervous to find an auto repair shop in my area who was not only honest but also affordable and would treat my car the way that they would treat their own personal owned vehicle. That's exactly what they did here! First, I asked for a quote through Yelp a water pump and thermostat change on a 2006 BMW 325i and like any other price conscious shopper I went requested quotes from other shops. Stuttgart Garage beat the next best price almost by 50%! Immediately I had to respond asking if they were genuine BMW parts and to my surprise the shop used all 100% oem parts in all of their vehicles. Mind blown. When I asked how soon could they get the vehicle in for repair, again they surprised me by responding with, "bring it in tomorrow and we can get the job done." Within 24 hours of bringing asking when I could bring the car in they not only completed the requested repair, they also didn't try to aggressively upsell me on parts or services that were unnecessary. This shop is 100% honest and incredibly affordable. If you've read this far you might remember me saying I also wanted a shop that would care for my car as if it were their own. Well after they finished the repair they not only washed the car but cleaned my entire engine bay out. No extra charge either! Just straight up excellent customer service. No questions asked, they've earned me as a customer. Thank you gentlemen! You all are top men! read more

Outstanding customer service with amazing quality! This will be the only place we ever take our cars forward!!

These guys are fantastic, they are honest and straight forward. No BS involved when you are needed work done, they find the problem, show you the problem and let you know it can be fixed. I had some work done to my car, mostly cosmetic, they did the cleanest install I've seen so far. Thanks Gus, Eli, and Sean for all your help. read more

Have you ever met someone and thought...how have I survived this long without them?!? That's how I feel about Shawn. I had a 2013 Hyundai Elantra with 170k+ miles on it and the past 1-2 years she's been going downhill. I remember finding Shawn on yelp and he told me to bring my car in the next day. He fixed it that same day and she was perfect! Unfortunately, the car just kept falling apart (I would commute 45-50 miles a day and 150+ miles every weekend) so I had to come in a few more times. Shawn ALWAYS made sure I understood everything that was going on BEFORE he started working on the car. I'm a young female and I know absolutely nothing about cars so honestly, as well as he explained things I still had absolutely no idea what he was talking about... SO I asked if he could call my parents since they know more and he did it every time without hesitation and I'm so thankful for that. He always made sure the work that was done were things I actually needed, he never tried to sell me on "fake fixes" or anything else other mechanics have tried to do in the past. He answered all my calls while I was broken down, my panic and stress calls... he always stayed calm and helped me through it! Pretty much my car therapist lol My car eventually started having too many issues pile up so I had to let her go... but Shawn knew someone who could buy it off me and we did it instantly! I got a pretty new car last week and naturally I already backed straight into a bright yellow pole :) THANKFULLY Shawn has come to the rescue once again and can help me fix it. THANK YOU!!!!! read more

Had a side window that was hanging off - Chevy insisted I needed a whole new mirror and it was gonna run $600 or more at the dealership. I called Stuttgart after seeing their 5-star rating and quickly realized why they have the incredible reputation they have. They fixed my mirror and saved me hundreds of dollars, changed my oil at a solid price and then gave me a complimentary car wash and I still was hundreds below what the dealership wanted to charge me. Oh and they took me right away and the dealership couldn't see me until 2 weeks and would need to keep it overnight. These guys definitely earned my business going forward. read more

I was drawn to this business due to the favorable Yelp reviews. I believe many of the reviews are well deserved. My first experience with Sean (spelling might be wrong) was very positive, he was very honest and he was very straight forward which I appreciated. However, I had him and his guys do a full tune up on my 1948 Chevy Fleetline. Originally the sound of my V8 small block sounded improved, however, my cold start issues continued and more importantly the oil leak from the valve gasket covers not only continued... it got worse. That leak was my initial reason for having a tune up done. My biggest issue was when I paid a $1000 plus dollars for a full tune up, I also paid for a new air filter. I was informed that they had difficulty securing a proper fitting air filter but one was to be secured in a couple days and that I would be called to come in when it became available for install. However, 3 weeks passed and I received no call. I texted Sean's cell to follow up but received no response. 2 days later I called to follow up and Sean told me he'd call me right back. He didn't call back. This business lost a potential long term customer. I am now with another business who seems to be more knowledgeable about classic cars and is fixing my valve cover gasket leak and replacing the air filter that I am paying a second time for. Whether you're running a business or just being a decent human being... do what you say you are going to do. read more

Really nice guys! Went in for brakes and battery work and they did a good job and quick. Will definitely go back for any car repairs. read more

Gus knows European cars and his shop does work other shop won't do from restorative cosmetics to aftermarket mods and tuning. I know my cars and like to do things my way. He discussed with me my options in detail keeps me in the loop by text as work gets done. He's been key to getting my BMW 335is serviced and updated my way and will continue to go to him for oddball things I others techs don't do. read more

I've visited the shop to get some work done on my brakes, the guys at the shop were very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. I used Yelp to get a quote and Shawn was very helpful. From the moment I arrived the guys were great! Gus did amazing work for me, both he and Shawn were very open about what they were going to do with my car, they even showed me the before and after so that I would know what was happening, which I definitely liked. At the end of my visit they gave me a heads up on a few things that needed work on my car in the future, however I did not feel pressured to get them done or to come back to them to get it done. With that being said though, I will be going back the next time my car needs any work! read more

Very professional and nice place. I usually work with my cars myself, but I got an issue which was very hard to figure out. I spoke with Shawn and he was very helpful, he answered all my questions. He really knows a lot about german cars and was able to pin point the problem right away. It is very hard to find a good garage in LA, where person who is working with your car actually cares about it. And I think I found one. Bring your car here and you won't regret. read more

Shawn, Gus, and team are absolute stars. Great communication from beginning to end. Shawn took the time to explain what he found, send pictures & videos of the work being done, and also recommended other work that the car needs but without the pressure of having it done right then or even with them. They also even threw in some extra fixes on top of what I originally came in for. And don't let the German name or speciality in German cars dissuade you from these guys. I have a Subaru and they were super knowledgeable about them and only used Subaru parts. Would highly recommend to anyone! read more

If you don't opt to take your car here based on my review, at least call and get a quote, or you are truly missing out. They will explain the problem, options for repair, take pictures and give you progress updates, and even call after the repair to make sure things are still going well. If you want excellent service, skilled mechanics that do daily drivers to top end luxury cars, check this shop out and I highly doubt you will find one better. The guys bend over backwards to bring excellence into customer satisfaction. Now stop reading this and shoot them a yelp message. My ride and repair: 2010 prius - motor replacement after my failed attempt to blue devil a leaking head gasket, done and done. read more

Nice guys. Awesome service. They listen intently to understand the problem if the problem is something they cannot handle they will let you know right away. When work on your car they will explain to you the process, the parts they need to work/replace and labor. My car had some battery issues and they stayed in longer and replaced it with a loaner as they couldn't get the new one, just so I can keep the car untill they get a new battery for me. In addition they have thrown in free car washes, A/C valve replacements in for me! read more

The team at Stuttgart Auto is absolutely amazing in every single way. From the very first communication we had with Shawn on the phone, to the entire process including their fast responses to any questions we had, we could not be happier with the service we received! Shawn, Gus & Eli were all extremely professional, kind and very thorough going over everything they fixed and why. We are super grateful that we found them and strongly recommend them to anyone seeking above-quality service. read more

Super great experience, I met these trio of guys running the shop, very knowledgeable, forward, honest, fun to deal with, amazing guys, had a blast! Looking forward to bring my vehicle for maintenance, upgrades and repair with them! Highly recommended! read more

I was totally impressed with the professionalism of this company. I took my daughters X5 for some brake work. The owner was very helpful. Not only did they do good work based on the diagnosis, they did the repair in a way that saved me money considering it is a late model. If you are concerned about masks etc, wear yours because they don't. It's not a problem for me but it may be for some. They were personable and very kind and have an excellent shop. They even gave me recommendations about other places for my other cars. read more

The people over at Stuttgart Garage are very knowledgeable about what there doing. I brought my bmw to them and they took care of me. Had a couple oil leaks and needed to do a full service on the car. Top notch service from the honesty of the job and what needed to be done to the friendly customer service. I love the fact that they are able to explain what needs to be done and why and they also don't try to sell you on something you don't need. There prices are competitive and you won't be disappointed. Next time you need service done to your car don't go to the dealer take it to Stuttgart where they treat you like family. read more

Sean is one of the most honest mechanics I've ever met. Spends much time going over what is required and does a great job. He's very reasonable and delivers on time. I've recommended him to several people who feel the same way. He's 5 stars in everything. read more

I was able to get a replacement alternator and battery here the same day I called with my issue, and am very pleased with the service received. The people here are knowledgeable, friendly, and want to take care of their customers. I would definitely recommend this place for auto repair! read more

Professional and honest. What more could you ask for? Oh, and they are reasonably priced. Very fair. They work on more than just German classics. I have a Volkswagen and they have done everything from oil changes, servicing and even body repair work (accident.) I have referred my family to them as well. They offered the best price on parts & labor for both a Toyota and a Hyundai. The work is always superb and the owner, Sean is easy to communicate and work with. He's knowledgeable, helpful and trustworthy. I've waited to write this review and after bringing my car in to Stuttgart for the past couple of years; I can honestly say that I have nothing but positive things to say about them, their work and even, their ethics. read more

Shawn fixed my car a little over a month ago and he did AMAZING! My little bucket is close to breaking down but he brought her back to life and now she runs better than she has in years!! Im so thankful I found Shawn. He truly provides amazing service. He took my car in the very next day and it was ready that same day! He even drove me to the rental car place so I didn't have to wait for an Uber! AND he checked up on me a few times after service to make sure everything was okay! He has a customer for life now! Thank you so much Shawn!!!! :) read more

Just got back from a brake job here. These guys are the dream team for your vintage, new, or super car needs. Getting my cars serviced used to be a chore, but this garage changed that. Always fun to see what rare and iconic cars they're working on, and always treated as top priority no matter what else they have going on. Thank you Shawn and Gus not only for lending your expertise to my SL, but for being genuine top notch people! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Stuttgart garage. I am meticulously detail oriented, and these guys knocked it clear out of the park. Absolute joy to work with, people you can actually trust with a car you care dearly about. Always felt like I was in the best of hands and they obviously knew European performance cars far better than the best of dealerships. I would not hesitate to send anyone here, wonderful and beyond skilled people. read more

Shawn is reasonable and honest. Great person to do business with. This is a great place to get work done.

I researched a few places and ended up going with Shawn at Stuttgart due to his fast responses and helpful answers. When I took the car down, I was greeted professionally and was told my options for repair very quickly and concisely. Thank you for providing excellent service and wonderful customer service read more

The owner,Sean, reached out promptly via Yelp inquiring to help. They waited a little after they closed for me to get the car there. This shop has been nothing but honest with me on what needs to be done and what can be done. They communicate clearly and are flexible to my needs. I will be bringing my car back here for time to come. They were able to get my car to a safer and better working condition than it was. I brought them a 1969 VW beetle that has a laundry list of things that need to be done. They were able to sort out the current needs and got the car up to being around the town driver. read more

These guys are great, honest, diligent, knowledgeable, decent and they keep you updated with pics, calls, and texts. Finally found a auto shop I feel comfortable going to. 2012 Audi A4 Quattro S-Line. Thanks Gus, Shawn, and Eli found my new go to garage. Love the classic European cars and will definitely buy from you when the time comes. read more

Shawn's a pleasure to work with. He speaks to you in a genuine, respectful manner and makes an effort to ensure you are happy with the work, or that you are comfortable moving forward, etc. I am glad I found and decided on this shop. read more

Every time I come in I am greeted and treated like family. All repairs are done correctly and in a timely manner. I have no complaints about the shop. Shawn and his employees are perfectionists and the best at what they do. No matter what the problem is they get it done. Having been to other shops and dealt with crappy service and the issue at hand not being fixed or dealt with. I can say there is no one else I would trust with my vehicle. They do the job right. If have a problem with your vehicle and don't want to keep spending money with no avail. Come to Stuttgart Garage. I highly Recommend. read more

I think the price was standard not overpriced. Shawn was kind had my car engine battery checked & he informed me of how much life my original battery still had. Gave me the option to replace now or later. Also advised me of my due oil change so I had it done too. They checked my brakes & asked me to come back in 2 mos so they can check it again. I am giving this mechanic garage a chance since it is so hard to trust anyone in this business. So far, so good. read more

Very happy with the work done on my car. Sean (?) was a perfectionist and went above and beyond to get the job done right. I'll definitely be back again. read more

Really pleasant to talk with the owner Gustavo. He was very respectful and went down the list of options. When I told him I was not able to spend a fortune he gave me the most economical option and even offered payments. Great guy and great workers.
