Golz Motors

Knowledgeable, honest repair shop with great customer service.

After getting burned too many times taking the car into the dealer for repairs, we finally decided to switch things up and are glad we did. Golz was recommended to me by a random guy who stopped to help me when my car broke down. I didn’t take it there at the time since I had no idea how this place would be and was in a pinch, but a few months later when my husband’s car was having issues and the dealer’s estimate was outlandish we decided to give it a go. What was great about this place? First, they looked at the car, told us what was wrong and gave us an estimate without charging us hundreds of dollars. Golz 1, dealer 0. Then they gave us a loaner without any argument, without booking it weeks in advance. Golz 2, dealer 0. When we called the dealer and detailed out the work we needed, their estimate was nearly a third higher. Golz 3, dealer 0. Given that score, we couldn’t help but give them a try and are glad we did. My husband’s car now seems to be running wonderfully and on top of all the repairs they did for him, he also mentioned a minor issue I was still having so they told him to bring my car by and ended up fixing it at no extra cost. We will definitely use this as our first stop in the future for any car repairs and would highly recommend Golz.

One of the many things I love about Unilocal is the ability to go back and give credit to the companies that have been part of my life for a long time. As you can tell by my reviews, I do not like to give negative reviews. Only under extreme circumstances will I negatively review a company. So, if a company deserves my time in a review, they have truly earned my respect!
The team over at Golz Motors has been repairing/​maintaining my cars for about 15 years.
Jeff and Glenn Golz are two brothers that will treat you like family from the minute you walk in. They have lived in the area their entire lives and repair cars for many friends and my extended family. If your car was born in Europe it deserves to be cared for by Golz. Okay, so they understand German engineering but they love all cars equally :-)
Besides being friendly, the reason I have always trusted Golz is because vehicle safety is the primary focus of their work.
Most auto service places do not let you into the work area. I’m sure Golz Motors is the same way. However, if you can get a peek inside while there (just ask) the cars are amazing and a true testament to the love and skill they bring to their work. It takes artistry to keep art on the road. I have Golz to thank for keeping my «motoring» happy:)

I came in here because my car was overheating and I was left on the road with no one else to trust but Unilocal.I called up Golz Motors because of the great reviews. Very professional and friendly staff, clean location — I will give it that.
But, their dishonesty (or lack of inspection) made me write this review. They «fixed» the overheating of my car, but failed to let me know that the engine overheated and that my car was garbage. They did in fact tell me that they fixed the overheating problem and that I was good to go. Yes, good to go with an engine that will soon stop working.
Thanks for making me throw more money for a car that will soon end in a junkyard…

I have an old English car that has been part of my family now for over 40 years. Problem is that I was never the person to care for it until a few years ago. A former co-​worker suggested I take it to Golz. I took the car in this summer and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Being a gearhead myself, I had a good time looking at the other classics in the shop being serviced. I will probably see them soon as English cars and mechanics get along well and I think I’ll need a clutch soon. Thanks guys.

I wanted to love Gölz. I wanted my family’s every out-​of-​warranty, European car to go to Gölz when it needed service. I wanted every shop to measure up to Gölz.
…and they screwed me. Tried to rack up an additional $ 1,000+ in repairs, actually.
I worked with Jeff from the start but, when the car was finished, I got a «Good news, bad news» call from Mike. Seems like Jeff is an honest guy and a good mechanic but I can’t say the same for everybody at Gölz.
The good news: the car was finished and they fixed a tie rod.
Bad news #1: The other tie rod «froze» when they were finishing up the work and they needed to replace it, too — at my expense, and without notifying me before they did the work.
Bad news #2: The rear differential was leaking and needed replacement.
I said no to the rear diff. We’re four years down the line now and the rear diff still operates fine without any additional service or fluid replacement.
I must be clear that this all happened in 2008, but a tight economy is no excuse for screwing customers. The shop is big, it’s clean, their parking lot is massive, and all of that adds up to high property costs. Just keep this in mind next time you’re mechanic shopping, because the shop is going to pass those costs onto the customer one way or another.
Sorry, Gölz. I really wanted this to be a five star review.

Golz Motors not only gives excellent service but they are a good, honest, reliable shop and there is not a lot of turnaround with their mechanics. I am a firm believer you get what you pay for and if you want to go to Midas or Car-​X, then the risk of problems later on down the road could arise from inexperienced mechanics. Golz’s mechanics have the experience and knowledge that makes them top notch and if you take a look at the cars in their shop, everyone else thinks so, too. I have purchased cars based on their recommendations. I have been a loyal customer for over 10 years and now and would never change a thing.

Golz has been the most honorable and knowledgeable group of professionals I have come across in the last 5 years. They are a family run business and have honest family values.
My Volkswagen Jetta has recently needed some work done. Its 8 years old and I have been going to these guys for over a year now. I actually found Golz on Unilocal and was hooked after my first visit.
Their prices are fair, they dont waste your time, and explain everything in depth so you can understand what work needs to be done. Most recently, my engine light came on. I expected it to be a costly repair out of my own pocket. It turns out my Catalytic Converter was shot and there was a chance it was still under warranty. They advised me to go to the dealership where I purchased my car and it would be replaced at no charge. We are talking about a $ 1400 part that they could of easily replaced and I would of had no idea that it could be covered at no cost to me. These guys are HONEST. They are truly good people and I wont take my car anywhere else. I drive 25 miles every time I need an oil change, because I know they will do a great job and I trust them. Its not often you find people that are so honest, let alone a mechanic!

Best repair shop for German and exotic high performance machines. I would not take my car anywhere else. Are you tired of being ripped off by the dealership or some trickster mechanics I was so I was lucky to find Golz Motors.
They never charge me for estimates and I always get an honest evaluation. I am very grateful for this place Jeff and Glen are very upstanding men who run a great business.
They know everything there is to know about higher end European vehicles along with high performance Japanese cars. I even bring my car here for oil changes because I just don’t trust anyone else.
One of my favorite things about coming here is walking in the garage and seeing all the Porches and vintage Mercedes cars. Very cool because I like German sports cars and knowing all these Porsche owners trust their cars to Golz makes me feel good about the service.
