I have been going to this mechanic for 25 years and he is responsible for keeping an Audi Fox (78) going for over 356,000 miles, and my current VW Passat (90) is in excellent shape at 221,000 miles. I keep purchasing german cars because I never have to worry about repairs. I always go to Autobahn. My three daughters all have German cars, too.

Just the most honest and helpful people anywhere. The Check Engine light came on in my car. They took a look and resolved it for me. FREE OF CHARGE. I offered to pay but they said "don't worry about it." The world needs more people like them! In contrast, I had oil changed at the dealership. They refused to reset the oil service indicator after the oil service.
They said they would only reset the light if I paid for an additional $900 in services for items I didn't need at the time. The fine folks at Auto Bahn reset my oil svc light for me. For free. Just amazingly wonderful people here!

My 2013 Mini was misfiring, so I brought it to Autobahn Motor Works to fix. I'm so glad I did. It ended up being a quick and very reasonably priced fix. The team charged me to diagnose and replace a part for about the same price a dealer would have charged to just start looking at it. The team at Autobahn Motor Works is very friendly, professional, and ethical.
This is my first auto shop experience that I didn't feel like I got ripped off. To be honest I was prepared to pay a lot more than I was charged. I will definitely use them the next time my car needs service.

I came into Autobahn with a low budget and a blown engine in my bmw. Tony was able to set me up with a clean motor with less miles then my stock one. He then swapped it in with a fresh clutch and the car runs better than originally for a price less than I was offered anywhere around. Very pleased with this shop!

I have gone here for 20 years. Tony is the guy. A mechanic I can trust. In the past he has actually told me, "no charge" for something that was just a switch or it needed a computer reset. Fantastic service. If you have a European car, this is where you need to go. Service: General repairs & maintenance

A+++ Outstanding! These guys know what they are doing. Best German car specialists that I have dealt with. They don't pull any punches, or give you the runaround, or overcharge. They figured out the problem with my 1995 840ci right away after a test drive. Told me what it could be. Called me 45 minutes later, and had pinpointed the problem.

I originally found this place when my factory warranty expired on my BMW. The dealership gave me 4 pages of maintenance recommendations totaling over $7000.00. Tony and staff went through list and I left there saving a bunch of $$$$$. That was almost 15 years ago. I have used this shop for minor repairs and oil changes since then. I still own few imports that these guys specialize in.
I felt a need to express my thanks and gratitude for the awesome work this shop performs. Just got my 2002 BMW back and it is running like new, same as day we picked it up from the dealer. Very honest owner here and a pleasure to work with. I drive almost 35 minutes to bring my cars here. It's worth the trip. I wouldn't hesitate to bring your car here. These guys are pros and don't charge arm and leg. 2 Thumbs up!

Honest, trustworthy, and extremely knowledgeable service! Tony was professional nice and most important he was honest. I had an appointment to change my rear brakes because the BMW I recently bought was telling me I needed to via the onboard computer. About twenty mins after leaving the car Tony called and told me the reason it was saying that was because the last mechanic must have not reset the computer and that the brakes were almost new he also checked the front brakes and installed a new sensor to reset the computer.
I know a lot of mechanics that would have still changed the brakes or at least made a lot of money off of me but not Tony and not Autobahn! Highly recommend as this is the only place I will be taking my car!

Went back again to this amazing place with honest, outstanding personnel. Not only did they diagnose an issue, they were blatantly honest saying it was not worth fixing it (stupid idiot light) since there was nothing wrong with the car. They could have said I had to fix it but they took the high road. The sensor was bad. Nothing else. We all know how expensive sensors are on German autos.
The engine was thoroughly checked and they refused to charge me! You can't find good mechanics with ethics anymore. Except here. I'd never go anywhere else. Keep up the great work guys!

I have a BMW 328xi and started taking my car here after the warranty was up and after I felt like the dealership service center was up-charging and taking advantage of me (of course!). This is a great, no-frills, comfortable little shop. I trust the owner to tell me the truth, not charge too much, and not talk down to me. They do great and efficient work. Dealerships are so impersonal.
I feel comfortable and taken care of at this shop. They care about the customer and they care about cars. I've been going there for about a year now. My annual oil charge in coming up in September, so I will be back!

Truly, an honest mechanic. I have been taking my 2007 Mercedes ML350 there for two years. Tony will tell you when you need a repair and when you don't. I have had concerns about my car, called Tony, and he will take a look at the car for me at no charge. They have always been professional and reasonably priced.

I have an Audi A4 and I have gone to these guys since last 2 years. Tony Jr. is great guy: extremely honest, reliable, goes an extra mile to help, very professional and most importantly, he knows German cars. He will not advise any unnecessary repairs and always clearly states cost-benefit ratio. All his staff members are also polite and friendly.
There is a cartoon on his office wall which says "if you think a good German car mechanic is expensive, try a bad one". And this is so true, so even if he maybe a little expensive, I would strongly recommend him, as it is worth it!
