Great people there. Highly recommend
Excellent service, very friendly and professional staff. Very reasonable price. Everyone was generally concerned about solving my car's problem. I recommend this place 100%.
Starting with Ali up front in service to the guys back on the lifts, this place is the utmost in professionalism. Quality work by quality individuals. Book with confidence.
Took my VW Tiguan in for a service and was thoroughly impressed with how friendly and prompt the service was. Dropped my car off in the morning and had it back by the afternoon! They even washed my car before I picked it up. Reasonable prices too. Don’t hesitate to take your car here :)
Absolutely the best car repair place in the Bay and for sure the best on the island. Our car door handle got vandalized and we got it fixed here very quickly for a great price. The entire staff is very professional and super knowledgeable. We’ve tried every car repair place in Alameda, and the Mercedes dealership in Oakland. This is the best choice. Recommended!
I've been going to them since 2020 to do oil change for my Benz. Always found the price to be fair and never had an issue with my car after a service A or service B. However, the recent service B job I found to be dishonest. The price ended up to be ~880 dollars including brake fluid change. As a result, I will going somewhere else for future car services.
I purchased a 6 year old Maserati Granturismo in 2019. While people are generally terrified of things going wrong with Maseratis, these cars are generally pretty reliable. However, with dealerships and Maserati specialists in the Bay Area, routine services can be crazy expensive. I talked to Ali a couple times about the initial maintenance I needed to do and he seemed very knowledgeable. He did a major service at a very good price and gave me terrific feedback on the state of the car - I was very satisfied. Strangely, you can run into problems with this car if you don't drive them enough so, one summer when I didn't drive it for a couple weeks, I started smelling smoke from the engine compartment. Ali diagnosed this and, again at a very competitive cost, repaired both leaky valve cover gaskets. I wholeheartedly recommend Ali and his team there to take care of you exotic car, even if it isn't German...
Been going here for about 20 years. Solid work, honest, and they always go the extra mile for their customers. Chris and his crew at German Auto Service are good people, and will take care of your automotive needs.
Well-worth owning a German car, well-worth spending on maintenance, well-worth coming here. They washed my car, even. Will be back.
I only come here to service my vehicles. Ive known the owners for many years. Theyre honest and return my vehicles same day.
Thank you Ali
Excellent customer service! And reasonable prices
Amazing and quick service
My experience was amazing. Responsible, clear communication, helpful, honest and clean. Not much needs to be said after that. Thank you German Auto Services!
This place is the best! Not only do they do amazing work, but they are kind people and skilled communicators. Highly recommend.
Can not recommend these guys enough. The only place I bring my Audi for service. They have gone above and beyond. Julie P.
Friendly staff, honest work and longtime mainstay on the island
I ve had our 2011 X5 repaired here twice and have been happy with the service. They are upfront about the issue and the cost; I haven t felt I m being given the run around or pushed to do unnecessary work.
Service is always completed on time! Quality work indeed.
This place reminds me of the old days of a local guy. Because they are the local guys, with the personal touch. Always trust their guidance.
Pricey, but thorough and honest.
The Best Of The Best Ali is all and more Youd expect with His exceptional knowledge of troubleshooting. I am a very satisfied customer
Very thorough and knowledgeable. An overall good feeling when walking into the establishment. Felt very comfortable with them performing services on my vehicle.
I went in with a bad headlamp... The amazing mechanic disassembled the part to fix it, instead of having me buy the expensive replacement.... he did it all in a moments notice and for free. I expected to pay for it and for at least an hour of service. It was really warming to be treated so well, especially considering all that s going on with the world right now. Impeccable service!!!!! I ve found my permanent mechanic. I have an E60 chassis BMW.
Great auto shop. Finished work faster than they anticipated. Fair prices. They took time to answer my questions and give feedback about the condition of the engine. They even took time to show the parts they replaced.
They did a basic maintenance. The car is running just fine and to prove this I went on a 200 mile run from Alameda to halfmoon bay down to Santa Cruz and back to Alameda.
Great place to take your imported vehicle. Excellent customer service.
Great experience Someone who actually cares about the customer. Called looking for some information on an older vehicle Im restoring myself because the BMW dealerships just dont have this type of experience with older vehicles like the E36. Robbie called me back 3 times after our first call with more information regardless if he was going to earn any money or not. Keep doing your thing Robbie. Thanks
Tired of blowing money at BMW and waiting for long appointments. German Auto Services have taken care of my 550 twice now. Awesome work, great service.
Great service many years.
Too pricey
Went for bulb change and they did it quick And generously done. This was my second visit there and they re honest and good people.
Came in with a check engine light came out with a complete diagnosis highlighting my problems. Didn t pressure me, just informed me of the issue and how I could go about it. Very friendly and trustworthy
The owner really do care about his clients. I took my car in for a check engine light. He was very helpful. Long story short, he found out the check engine light is actually going to cost me more than $4000 to fix it so instead of charging me $500 for the checkup, he only charged me $246. That little gesture was really appreciated. Thanks.
I have been taking my cars to German Auto for years. Even my non-German cars. Their work is beyond reproach. They are honest and skilled and incredibly patient. They take the time to diagnose an issue fully rather than just throwing parts at a problem. The best.
Decades in business and an excellent reputation.
Team of stand-up reliable guys. Took my car in because the brake lights were out-- fixed it in 20 minutes at no charge. Kind and professional. Such a pleasant experience!
German Auto Service in Alameda are honest people. I bring my Benz to this shop for service and they treat me like what customer should be treated. 2 days ago my key wont work. Technician Tyler help me and Jim. They are awesome!!! Ty
The best from miles around. Cant go wrong.
German Auto Service maintains my Mercedes SL55 AMG, my SLK and my BMW convertible. Chris and his team are professional right down to customer interaction and the layout of the shop...you could eat off the floors. When they quote a price, thats it. When they diagnose a problem, its clear they have their customer in mind first. Ive been in the shop and have watched countless customers walk out the door, happy with their service excellence. Having lived in 4 countries and 10 states, always with German vehicles, I know German Auto Service as the best of the best! Thanks Chris.
