German Auto Tech

This place was recommended by my guy friend and I am extremely pleased with a job they’ve done to my Mercedes. I got a quote $ 2500 from the dealer and I got my car fixed here at $ 1400. The owner, Bill used original parts for my car and did a better job! I was impressed by professionalism and quality service. My car runs and feels better than ever. I finally found a place for my car!

Just stopped by for a quote. The Asian guy (sorry don’t know the name) was very rude. I asked him for a simple quote. For just computer check $ 95! What? Semi advances computer cost that much. When I told him that he turned his back and just ignored me.
Would definitely never come back here.

The jury is still out; we have had our Mercedes in there for a few days and we’ll see how it turns out.

Bill has been my mechanic for 4 years now. My VW Golf GTI has never been happier, as well as my wallet. Bill is an honest guy, and knows German cars like the back of his hand, and always uses genuine parts! I can truly say that i trust my mechanic! Can you say that? Well, go to Bill, and you can. Bill’s estimates are reasonable, honest, trustworthy, and he fixes the problem the first time! I highly recommend Bill and Bennie — they care about their customers and they care about good service and maintenance to your car. You won’t regret it!

Bill will take care of you… just be patient because they always have cars coming in and out. My whole family comes to him for car repairs…(bmw’s, honda’s, and my truck. lol) The small staff is comprised of expert mechanics, who know their sh1t. No checks, FYI.

I drive my dream car, which is a 2001 white 2-​door Toyota Echo (really, this was the car I had always wanted since I could drive, it’s just too cute for words and so easy to park in the city, being so tiny). It used to belong to a chicken delivery place, so across the driver side of the car there are the ghosts of the words «Chicken Delivery,» across the passenger side, «Rotisserie.» The bird is the word, y’all.
So anyway, after a night of heavy rain about six months ago, my little chicken car shut down on the Normandie on-​ramp to the 101. Since I was blocking traffic, 511 told me to call 911, and a tow-​truck was sent in like 20 minutes. He was only supposed to take me one exit up, but since there was nowhere on Vermont to park it, he took me one more exit, and left me less than a block away from German Auto Tech (bless him).
Panicked and stressed out, I went in and asked for help. Bill Lee, the consummate honest profesh, overlooked my (HORRIFICALLY) messy car and found the problem to be an eroded wire connecting the dead battery to the engine. He fixed it in an hour and $ 200, new battery included, and I was only 2 hours late to work that day (nothin’ compared to the nightmare it could have been).
Now my brakes are getting grindy, so I called Bill up in traffic on my way back from work and he gave me an estimate over the phone (Holla! Didn’t have to sit in a shop while my perishable groceries spoiled in the trunk) and told me to bring it in before noon on Saturday and he’ll have it done same-​day. Estimate was about $ 50 lower than my bf predicted.
I feel really, really lucky to have a «guy» I trust to take my car to, especially since my folks moved out of the state. I can hardly afford anything, much less the inflated egos of dishonest mechanics. Bill Lee is truly a master technician, as it says on his business card.

Trust worthy, reliable and quick. Hard to find these qualities in any business these days. I highly recommend Bill and his crew.

This place takes forever to get simple jobs done like an oil change. The owner John… where do I begin, he knows his stuff but he uses cheap parts (universal) fittings when you ask for original and when you bring it in for one thing, when you leave something else breaks. They claim, they didn’t touch it. but I’ve seen his buddies that hang around the shop sit and check out every car that comes in– they turn on the car and rev the engine, play with everything in the car and they aren’t even employed there. BEWARE– LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR SERVICE!!!

These guys are s-​l-​o-​w. I had to call several times after not hearing back to check on my car — they had it for a week and a half! At first they claimed they were sent «the wrong parts», but quickly between my husband and myself we have found this to be a LA auto shop ruse. If they can’t deliver reasonably/​when promised «it’s a part sent but wrong, so needs to be resent.» That’s bull-​shite.
Anyway, they replaced my exhaust system and gave me an oil change. Not too pricey but ok. Also no heavy selling on other stuff = good. I’ve had some problems since, so went instead to a recommended mechanic from a friend. Now I have been told that they replaced the exhaust system, but instead of using brackets (like someone who has pride in their work) they held it up with CHAINS???
Crappy, uncaring workmanship. Don’t go here.
PS– I went here by mistake when trying to find Song’s Auto. Not sure how Song’s is, but don’t make the same mistake.

not too long ago, i said no to crack. that’s right, crack. a front windshield crack that ran as long as the grand canyon. i should have taken care of it years ago, but i do a lot of procrastinating in my life and taking care of my car is no different.
i went to german auto tech and they quoted me $ 200 for the windshield (materials and labor) and it took less than 2 hours to get it done. i am pleased with the workmanship and am glad that i finally decided to take my little car one step up from total ghettoness.
