We had a great experience with All German Auto! They were super communicative and friendly. We felt really comfortable as they explained everything to us in detail, in a way a non-mechanic mind could understand. No work was done without our approval and we felt their prices were very reasonable! Everything was fixed quickly and efficiently, we will definitely be back if we have auto repair needs in the future!

As we were sharing the insane quirks of our ancient car with Chris the patient rep. A tech spoke up without missing a beat said: "BMW?" A complete exorcism was perform and within s day "The Princess" is back in her chamber. The windows are still not cooperating unless we loosen the gas cap. Twirl around three times and spit towards the god of all things German. But she starts. Thank you.

We had a bumpy start, but Dan and the mechanic (don't remember his name dang it!) went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with my experience with All German Auto. Thank you so much for making me feel valued and going out of your way to do so!

If you have a nice german car and want it to be taken care of by experts then take it here. This shop has some of the most knowledgeable people in the business. You can always trust that your car will be done right. They have serviced 3 of my AMG cars over the years, with some repairs requiring extra effort to get perfect and they nail it every time. Special shout out to Chance Whitaker, a Mercedes wizard.

Thanks to Troy and the AGA team - I returned, this time for an oil change for my Audi S4. They were able to fit me in, in short notice, and communicated / updated me frequently on the status of my service and in a very friendly manner. Highly recommended, and I'll be back for future work on the S4.

It's nice to make a connection with this business once again. They worked on my German cars in the 90s. Always the best work you can get done. I recently acquired a Mercedes and to go in some place and have people be straight with you I have the expertise is refreshing two thumbs up for these guys

I can't say enough about this place. I took my BMW X.3 in after I was told by BMW that I was going to need to spend $6000 on repairs. Dan at all German was so helpful in trying to find the problem. He and Ryan and the other mechanics found the problem and it was not $6000. It was $1200. They were a joy to work with I will only go there in the future and I would recommend this place for anyone that has a German vehicle. They are trustworthy and very personable and helpful. Dan is the man!
