Hard working.honest.professional.service that goes above and beyond! August European has taken care of our Mercedes since we moved to San Diego. We have always received outstanding service at a fair price, but today, Eric went above and beyond to help me with a door repair -- I am grateful for his time and kindness! Thank you! We'll be back!

Brian and his team are phenomenal. I called on a holiday to see if I could get a spot to have a module replaced on my 2015 BMW and he managed to fit me in the schedule. The place was very clean, professional and attentive. For weeks I was having issues trying to get my front electronic module replaced and programmed properly. Bad news after bad news from a previous shop, messing up the coding in my vehicle but Brian's team managed to get it done in one hour on the same day. I can't thank him and his team enough and to anyone needing a module replaced/programmed, I HIGHLY recommend this shop.

I've worked on cars as a hobby my whole life. I own the tools to get most jobs done. The difference with these guys, is they do it all day every day and practice makes perfect. I am impressed by their vast knowledge accumulated from decades of experience. The shop is clean, their work is clean, the staff is professional and they tell you what you need and why you need it. They are patient, honest and punctual. Don't hesitate to take your expensive nice car here. You will get the royal treatment and won't waste money at the dealer.

Highly recommended - I've been bringing my Mercedes and BMW vehicles to August European for a little over 10 years. My vehicles have always been fixed properly and they go above and beyond to exceed your expectations. They are a busy shop, but Brian and his team of mechanics are honest and fair. Another nice thing is that they do not overcharge or recommend unnecessary repairs.an especially important fact in my opinion. If you're tired of being overcharged by the dealerships and big name mechanics, give these guys a shot.

I have been taking my 2002 BMW 330i to August European for the past 7 years. My car has approx. 140K miles on it today, and I would not have held on to the car this long if it weren't for the confidence I have in Brian and his team. Honesty and quality of workmanship are the two most important things to me in a mechanic, and that is why I continue to have my car serviced here. Additionally, I think the big advantages of taking your car to August European vs the dealership is that you will not pay for services you don't need, and there's much more of a personal relationship. Thanks for the outstanding customer service Brian!

I have a 2000 Audi A6 4.2. Thanks to Brian and his talented mechanics my car runs amazingly great. Brian has been in charge of my car's maintenance for the last 7 years. My experience with August European has been so outstanding, I feel grateful that I was able to find reliable and honest service. Brian has always taken the time time to tell me exactly what needs to be done, no surprises, and I trust his advice. He is definitely a straight shooter. And no matter what the problem might be at the time with my car, I have peace of mind that it will get fixed properly. I Highly Recommend them!

Brian at August European has serviced my cars since the late 80s, so I have extensive exposure to the superior level of professionalism and service he as well his technicians provide. The experience is consistently superb. Repairs and services are more reasonably priced than the dealership, yet accomplished at the highest of professional standards. You receive personal, sincere, precise and un-rushed attention and I have always been completely satisfied when I pick up my vehicle. They simply don't come any better; I trust Brian implicitly and feel fortunate he is always there when I need him.
