If you have a European car this is THE BEST shop in the area for service. My family has been bringing our Mercedes and Volkswagens here since 1989.

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.
