Our dad, Al Andersen, never wanted ours to be like other repair shops. But, then, Dad never was like most mechanics. He got his start back when import cars were exotic. He had a knack for getting to the bottom of things. Diagnosis was his watchword. When he started his own business, he built his reputation on it. He always said you have to know what the problem is to fix it. After more than six decades, we're still European car specialists. We focus on Volvo, BMW, Mercedes, VW and Audi. Diagnosis still tops the list of what we do.

Back in the day - and we're talking 1950s here - being a machinist was the perfect background for a mechanic. In those years you couldn't just grab a part off the shelf. You did your own cylinder work, your own valve grinding, etc. Al Andersen came out of the Army Air Corps with machinist skills and the attention to detail those skills require.
Do you offer a warranty? Yes! We offer a two-year warranty from date of service, including parts and labor. Warranty repairs must be performed at Andersen's Foreign Car Service. Do you have a tow service? If you need a tow, please call the friendly folks at Denver West Towing at 303-279-3434. They'll put your car safely in our lot even if it's after hours.
To keep your vehicle running properly at all times, we offer a number of services in the Golden, CO 80401 area that are carried out by our certified, expert auto service and repair technicians who have years of experience performing everything from oil changes to a complete engine overhaul. We use high-tech diagnostic equipment to guarantee your vehicle is repaired and/or serviced correctly the first time around, and we only use the highest quality replacement parts, filters, oils, and components when it comes to your car.
Tires are the single most important safety feature on your car. They are the only thing that connects the car to the road, and life-saving technologies like antilock brakes and electronic stability control cannot do their job if the tires don't have a good grip on the pavement. As the adage goes, nothing lasts forever.

The team at Andersen's is second to none with regards to knowledge and customer service. They were able to diagnose and repair a couple of issues for me that other specialty European shops couldn't solve on an BMW X5 Turbo Diesel. The team at Andersen's didn't throw parts at the problem but instead were able to diagnose and repair at a fraction of the cost and time of any other shop that I have worked with.
Without a doubt, they know European vehicles better than most in the area and their service and care is TOP NOTCH! They've won my loyalty for all routine and specialty maintenance moving forward.

I 10/10 recommend this shop for foreign car owners. I don't go anywhere else for repairs on my Mercedes. They're honest, and trustworthy, you never have to worry about them lying just to scam more money out of you. everyone who works here is awesome, and super nice, Including the owner. As well as their prices are very fair. I recently took my car in for multiple issues, that are now fixed up like a brand new car thanks to Andersen's! I will definitely continue going here for the life of my car. and the next.

I have used Andersen's for a couple of years now for lube jobs and a brake job. I find them to be very trustworthy, competent, knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. I drive a Volvo XC90 that is several years old and Andersen's is helping me keep it good shape. I recommend them without reservation! Service: General repairs & maintenance

I've taken my Volvo to Andersen's since moving to Colorado, and have always been happy with the service. Kurt and his team are honest, responsive, do good work, charge competitive rates and are transparent about costs. They were able to get my car in for service on short notice before a snowstorm recently, which I really appreciated as it's our only vehicle with snow tires and we live in the mountains. Highly recommend!

I was going to another Mercedes Service shop for years and they changed ownership. Was very discouraged by their "always needing additional service". Reached out to my mechanic friend and he recommended Andersen's Foreign Car Service. I found my car a new home. Family owned business, Kurt and Megan are awesome, treat me like I am part of their family. Quality work, awesome customer service and fair pricing.
