The place I had gone for the last 20 years closed down in 2024, so when my car started acting up I decided to try TGA. I had a great first experience. Even though I had no appointment, they saw me immediately, listened to my concerns, and promised me an estimate the same day. When the estimate arrived via email, it clearly listed each item, along with pictures showing the damage or needed repair. They also prioritized repairs that needed to be done immediately, and showed me items which might be needed in the coming months. The repairs were accomplished faster than I thought they would be. I received a call to pick up the car, and the checkout process was fast yet thorough. Definitely recommend this place. read more

I have been going to Tga now for over 20 years... They are always dependable... They always aren't very fair in their pricing... And the work is always done right the first time... I hold Tga in very high esteem. read more

Sad to see my 911 997.2 go due to a Houston storm and rain damage, but my 1964 Porsche 356c and 1983 Mercedes 240d will be well taken care of here and the service is always immaculate and fair. read more

The quality of service is excellent, there's no other shop to consider! I've been a customer for over 18 years and I'm never disappointed.

It's a must to have a quality independent mechanic if you plan to keep driving an older German car. Texas-German Autohaus has been working on my 2016 BMW X5M for several years doing the work that needs doing, while skipping the unnecessary add ons the dealer recommends. I recently brought in my wife's Merceds SL and they've done great work on that as well. read more

This team of professional mechanics only fixes what is important and doesn't go searching for other things to fix which keeps my 26 year old Mercedes on the road! Matt is the best! read more

Getting you car repairing is never fun and but everyone at T-G-A takes really good care of you. They will give you a ride to where you need to go. Your car gets fixed quickly and more important properly. I have been going here for about 10 years across 4 different cars and I will continue to return. Matt and the whole team will give you a straightforward assessment. read more

My wife and I have been taking our BMW's and Mercedes to TGA for over 20 years and we wouldn't go anywhere else. Professional, courteous and honest in a world where those attributes are difficult to find. Hans runs a first class operation and Matt has been a great service representative. All of the techs are great too. We have recommended TGA to several friends who have all had a positive experience and continue to have their cars serviced there. JPC read more

I want to write an updated review of The Texas German Autohaus. I want to thank Michael, Carlos and the staff for helping me get my car restored to what we have grown accustomed to a great car. They had the expertise to repair my vintage 1998 Mercedes. Thanks Again, Linda Simien read more

Dropped off my BMW to Hans and the team at Texas German Autohaus this morning. One of the techs (maybe the best in Houston) Michael came with me for an extended test ride. In that time we listened for the noise my car had been making. He was with and stayed with me until he heard and felt the noise. He identified the issue and is making the needed repair today. The care and concern that Michael and Matt and Hans and all the team at TGA is Uber Alles! If you have a German made vehicle and need work done- you're crazy not to take it to see Hans and his amazing team. Best German mechanic shop in Houston! read more

Terrible Service. Brought two ML's on seperate occasions over this shop my time was wasted each time. Apparently Matt of Texas German AutoHaus doesn't know how to work a wrench or a phone, had to speak to that guy each time regarding my car, and he clearly didn't pay much attention in English class. Told me my ML's needed modules that MB hadn't even heard of before. Two thumbs down to that guy Matt and his shop, kick a curb Clown. read more

I have taken my 2007 Porsche in twice and have been pleased with the service and honesty at TGA. I will continue to go back. I had initially taken my car to the Porsche dealership without any answers or success and TGA addressed and fixed the issue. Thank you Matt and company. read more

The best engineers if you have a classic Porsche or Mercedes- they are honest and do not overcharge. They have serviced 2 of my Porsche 356's and older Mercedes. A plus read more

I really appreciate Hans and his team. They are attentive and knowledgeable people that do their job really well. Ive been taking my car here for the past two years and each time I am over satisfied with the results. I highly recommend! read more

Matt helped me with my pre-purchase inspection on my 2011 Mercedes G55. He was excellent with his explanation of the issues with the car and extremely thorough. I really appreciated his service as well as honestly when it came to informing me about the vehicle. Apparently, they know what they're doing, and between the service, knowledge, and results overall, I would recommend them highly. read more

Informative, fast and professional place to get my BMW fixed. When your car has a problem you may or may not care to understand the problem and you want it fixed and ready for prompt re-use. This firm understands this. The staff took the time to explain the problem, answer questions and explain the resolution in human speak. They were honest about lead time to prepare and get my car fixed. Unlike other outfits that keep your car for days on end and give you the perception that they are 'working on your $2K problem', they don't do this. I planned pickup and drop off for minimum time and service effectiveness. Professionally the staff took the time to address my needs, car, and after experience. I didn't shop around to compare prices. These aspects drive my buying decision. The place and staff exemplified these 3 virtues above as well. If you operate your life in the manner this firm is run, you will enjoy working with this repair shop. read more

This review is based only on the estimate I received from T-G-A. I did not get my car repaired here because I believe they tried to overcharge me. Details: My BMW overheated so I had it towed to T-G-A. Being new to town, I chose the shop based on Yelp reviews. Matt, the service advisor I worked with, seemed very friendly and turned an estimate around to me in a matter of hours. However, the cost I was quoted was far higher than I feel is fair. Matt's $1,800 estimate included a new radiator (legitimate -- mine had cracked) as well as a new mounting bracket for the AC pump and new tensioner/pulleys and belts. I asked if they could work with me at all on the price and they did lower the labor rate to make the total $1,600. Even with the lower price, I had a gut feeling that it was too high so I had my car towed to another shop for a 2nd opinion. Their estimate was $750 (yes -- HALF the cost) and did not include a lot of the work that T-G-A told me I needed. They said my tensioners/pulleys and belts looked more than fine and that the AC pump bracket was something that could be easily repaired instead of replaced. read more

They know their stuff. They tell you what your car needs and what can be put off until next time. I believe that their pricing is very fair for the expertise they have. read more

This place is expensive but worth it, in my opinion. If you want your work done well in a nice, clean shop, I would highly recommend. If you are looking for cheap work, look elsewhere. They got everything done very timely and did a great job on my car. read more

I want to like them, I do. They offered me a ride to and from work. They took my car over to the Texas inspection station for me (I'm brand spankin' new to the state). They even changed my appointment twice when I needed it. However, they tried to sell me rotors I didn't need; mine were still as smooth as glass upon visual inspection. I was sold a belt tensioner I also could have gone without. All in all, I went in for brake pads and walked out with an $800 bill. I get it, I'm a young female with a German car. I am fairly well versed in how to avoid unnecessary repair costs. After all, I dodged the rotors which would have tacked on an additional $450. A few other items were brought to my attention, but after I discussed the car's maintenance history, they agreed to reset some of the sensors. I'm annoyed more than angry. Again, I want to like them... read more

I give this auto shop 5 stars for customer service satisfaction & efficiency. I had my Porsche Cayman S taken here when the cable shifter broke (an apparently well-known issue in Caymans and Boxsters). They quickly ordered the new part from Porsche, had it installed and washed it squeaky clean. I was impressed by the warmth of the staff. My husband and I met the owner, Hans, who had personally looked over my car, and were very satisfied with the job. The clutch and the shifter both felt great, and they test-drove it to make sure it was running well, all in less than 48 hours. A week later, I had the same issue, where the shifter would not go into any of the odd-numbered gears or reverse. I quickly called them back, and Matt, the gentleman working on my vehicle both times, had their tow-truck guy out to my house the following morning to pick up my car. I called later that afternoon and it was ready to go, and again freshly washed. A clip had come loose on the shifter cable, and they fixed it for me at no-charge (tow & repair). Hans had personally over-looked the issue and repair the second time as well. Hans called both my husband and I less than a week later to check on the car to see how it was doing, and to tell us thank you for the business. Needless to say, we are very happy with Texas-German Autohaus, and will certainly be using them as our go-to for any Porsche issues. read more

If you have a German car that is out of warranty, bring it here. I have had nothing but good experiences here. They are always efficient, friendly, and provide good service. The prices are slightly expensive, but seem to be in range for repairs to German vehicles. I am consistently impressed by the service. Never before have I had an auto repair place bring an issue to my attention, but tell me to wait to repair it because it is not a safety issue. Just recently I was told that I needed to replace some hoses (not sure exactly which hoses or why), but that it was not urgent and they would keep an eye on the issue rather than telling me to spend $500 on it now. I was really surprised by this because most places would have told me to replace it right away. A few other benefits: TGA washes your car after it is serviced and normally gives you a bottle of wine around Christmas time. Also, they have a shuttle that will drop you off at your office or home. read more

Outstanding is the first word that comes to mind! Initially you fear it will be expensive because not only are the grounds, garage and interiors well maintained the staff is very dedicated and helpful. I was wowed by the feedback and servicing of my vehicle then learned you get $50 off as a first time customer and a nice bottle of wine. This is surely worth it and hope you like it too! read more

I've been here to get my C250 seat reprogrammed. My coolant was leaking and I came to get that repaired. Now I'm here for a brake flush and each time I've come here I've never been disappointed! The service is great! read more

Hans and Michael have kept my 1997 Porsche 911 in top condition for seven years, and I know I can trust their expert advice. They always provide detailed explanations, with photos, of the work that my car needs, and options for how to address the aging of a 25-year old car. Every job they've done for me was performed correctly the first time. Hans and Michael bring a German professionalism to Houston that is rare and valuable to their customers. read more

I have been here twice to get a check up on my bmw. They are very professional and honest. Matt diagnosed my car and gave me great advice. I recommend this place. read more

I have had some awful experiences with auto shops and dealerships in particular. See my previous reviews of Russel and Smith Mazda and Xsell motors. Truly awful excuses for human beings work there. I have high standards and I see nothing wrong with that. When you work as hard as I do and you spend a big chunk of your income on a car why not be treated with respect and courtesy? I purchased a pre owned Porsche Cayman in April knowing it needed some work done on it. The previous owner had kept it as a weekend car so he was able to cut corners but I don't do things that way. A month later, I was driving my car just normally when suddenly a bright red light came on- CHECK ENGINE!! Greeeat! And then the next day in bright bold letters- BRAKE. I was very annoyed. I was hoping to wait until August but oh well. Headed over to TGA because after visiting the Porsche dealership they wanted to charge me more than $6000! Yes I am not making this up. Talked to someone who used to work there and he told me that dealerships are just so greedy and really do so much unnecessary work just to squeeze the customer out of a few dimes. I don't believe in that. I believe in the road going 2 ways; help the business and the business helps the customer. Is there something wrong with that? Anyway TGA took good care of me. Like I mentioned the previous owner did not do a good job of keeping the car in good shape. I believe in taking care, maybe even babying the car, hey it's a Porsche! This is how it is. Final bill after some discounts was $4100. Check out my pictures and how much work was done. I am hoping to avoid any more huge bills but it is a Porsche! TGA even after the discounts threw in a new bottle of wine, I guess to swallow down the giant bill. Classy! I like that. And they washed and waxed my car and wheels! Ask for Matt when you go there. He is all class and will explain and talk to you without it seeming like he is talking down to you which a lot of mechanics do. I sound like a TGA fanboy and yeah I guess I am. I'm not keeping this car more than a year and when I sell this car I am going to miss these guys! Stay classy TGA! read more

See all

Brought my Mercedes for an oil change for the first time this week. Service was outstanding. They had my car ready in just over an hour. I will definitely be back for future services. read more

I have a 2011 Porsche 911. Took it in for an alignment cause it was off centered. Whenever i had the steering wheel straight it veered off to one side. Decided to take it to Texas-German Autohaus since it is nearby. Spoke to Matt Burrage service manager and he assured me they were a Porsche specialist. After paying almost $180 which is the almost the price of the dealership which i didn't mind because of the convenience. Picked up car and Matt said everything was great and car was not too far off as needing alignment. Turns out the car drove the same and i needed to take it to one of the Porsche dealers here in Houston, not naming which one cause I'm not sponsoring anybody just speaking the truth. Had to get another alignment and paid $200 and at least they got it right. I would not recommend these guys for repair of Porsche based on my car experience. read more

Best oil change experience. Impressed by the attentiveness first class service. German autohaus took the time to get to know me and my car. They specialize in Mercedes, a service specialist escorted me to his private office for a one on one consult, regarding maintenance for my Mercedes. They send you email reminders when it's time to service. Complementary car wash with service and they gave me a free bottle of wine. read more

I can't say enough about these guys . Not only are they very good but extremely professional. I took my bemmer without an appointment, and they got right on it . Within twenty minutes they told me the problem and had it repaired within three hours. Very nice people everyone that came in contact with me made it a point yo say hello with a smile. The prices are fine for what you get . I will never take my car anywhere else, and would say to anyone looking for a auto repair place, this is the one uou won't be disappointed. read more

Best place in Houston for foreign car repairs. Great staff and honest. When they tell you your car is going to be ready you can count on it.

I was extremely satisfied with Texas German Autohaus. I needed an oil change for my C300 and was having quite some difficulty finding somewhere that would give me an honest price. Every other shop told me they couldn't give me an exact price for an oil change until I brought it in. TGA was up front and honest with the pricing from the beginning and did not try to upsell me on things I didn't need. Thanks Matt, you rock! read more

I've been coming to Texas German Autohaus for years and they've NEVER let me down. Over the weekend, I installed a Pedalbox on my 2018 440i and made a mistake reinstalling the throttle pedal. Without setting an appointment, I brought my car to TGA first thing this morning and Michael and Matt jumped right in and helped me fix my error in about 10 minutes, without charging me!! TGA truly is the best!! read more

This place is awesome, I have been coming here for years anytime I need work done on my cars. Said and his team are the BEST, they are very dependable and reliable. They have done GREAT work on all my cars that needed any type of body work. I Would recommend this place to anyone you will NOT be disappointed. This team works hard and is very honest and up front about pricing and then your vehicle will be ready! Thanks again for everything. I will definitely be back if need be! read more

DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!!!! I have eight receipts that i would love to post as to why NOT to let Texas German Auto Haus "work", practice, on your car. After towing my 911SC several several times for the same problem, the car died on my once again. It would be fixed for about two drives. I would be able to maybe take it two places, then same problem. Richard, my sales guy was great and nice, but again, he's in sales! As i was sitting in his office, the owner came in and congratulated him on a great month. That's really all this place cares about. All they did was continue to charge me for parts and labor that the car did not need and NEVER EVER fixed the problem. In fact, TGA connected parts that should have not been connected to other parts!!!!! I could go on and on about what all they did WRONG!!!! Like a beginner 101 Mechanic, with no sense albeit, an ability to guess. As in, " maybe this connects to this" They do not know what they are doing. I continued to take the car because of the warranty. I even picked up the car and found the housing to the ignition BROKEN! Texas German Auto Haus charged me to fix it and another tow! They are WORTHLESS! If you have lots of money to burn and want someone that does not know what they are doing and you would like for them to "practice" on your car, go for it. If you want the job done right the first time, DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE! After listening to many many folks, I finally took my car with ALL of Texas German Auto Haus receipts to the most honest, reliable, mechanic around. RENNSPORT, Mr. Mike Callas, yes in Sealy Texas, but for the amount of money and incompetent work done by Texas German Auto Haus, I could have had all my cars problems solved to begin with. If you own a PORSCHE, the only person to take your car to is Mr. Callas at Rennsport! Gosh i wish I would've listened to all my friends to begin with. He reviewed the history of the car and all the so-called "work" TGA did and told me to do myself a favor and burn the repair bills and pretend i had never gone to Texas German Auto Haus. I wish someone had warned me about this place!!!! HORRIBLE!!!! AND INCOMPETENT!!!!!!!!!! read more

They have a nice location and I used them a few times. First it was for a few minor repairs on my BMW. They were ok, even if more expensive than other places. Then my car broke last week, and that's when they tried to rip me off. The car didn't drive anymore, and they tell me I have to rebuild the entire transmission ($6,000). I sent the car to another garage, and it turns out the transmission was fine, only the shift selector had to be replaced ($1,000 with labor): that's a $5,000 difference!!!! So either their mechanics are not competent, or they deliberately tried to cheat on me. I won't be going back there. read more

I was once a dedicated customer of Texas-German Autohaus. I took my Mercedes in to get a check up for a clean bill of health prior to sale. I happen to stop in around lunch time and found it idling by itself outside the back of the shop with the AC on high. When I picked it up later that evening the engine barely started and it did not idle smoothly. When I tried to explain this to the service manager -Richard Hans Burger, he became very impatient, told me everything was working just fine and promptly escorted me to my car. At the buyers request I took in the vehicle in again a few days later. At noon I get a heated voicemail from the buyer who stopped by TGA at lunch. The buyer is telling me that TGA says the engine overheated, has warped heads and needs new engine mounts. Guess who he's talking to? Richard Hans Burger! I'm not sure what kind of sale tactic this is but it was my last visit to TGA. read more

This place is top quality! They have consistently given me the best service/ parts for my Porsche Cayenne 2008 at reasonable rates. Hans, the owner is from Germany and extremely knowledgeable about each nut and bolt, having worked and ran a Mercedes dealership in Germany. All of his mechanics are top notched. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my car. read more

Dealt with them over several years, very honest and reliable, and very teutonic, in the best possible sense. My mother has a bad habit of dropping change in the cigarette lighter in her BMW and shorting out the fuse, they always repair it gratis. They work very quickly and are very prompt in giving you a ride or picking you up. They will give you very clear answers to questions about repairs and are happy to advise which repairs are more important than others. If you have a Mercedes, BMW, or Porsche, I can't reccomend this place highly enough. read more
