I had replaced all 4 Calipers on my 2008 Audi A3 as well as upgraded to SS brake lines. Afterwards, my brother and I had worked on bleeding my brakes to the best of abilities but the brake pedal felt spongy. It’s July 1st and I was on a time crunch to get the Brakes properly bled because I had to get my daughter dropped off for Camp Akita at 2pm. I called German Autowerks and spoke to Chris and explained my situation. Chris was able to get me in with help from his service manager Jeff the same morning! They were aware I would have my son with me while I waited for the car to be serviced and when we got there they were completely welcoming. I enjoyed talking to Chris and Jeff regarding VW’s Mercedes as well as other things. Every time I come into German Autowerks I leave extremely satisfied with their work and the shop prices. I recommend German Autowerks for you automotive needs. You will not be disappointed!

German Autowerks is always the first place I think of when I need any repairs done to my car. Their customer service is great and they will communicate with you throughout every step of the process. They were able to replace a bad wheel bearing and all four brake pads on my A4 in no time! I highly recommend them and will do business with them in the future!

My car had an intermittent issue that was hard to pin down. They replaced a sensor and then the issue persisted. They replaced a fuel pump and only charged the cost of the part. They had it done in a day but I wasn’t able to pick up the car until the end of the week. The stored the car inside and we’re flexible with my schedule to pick it. 10/10 would use again.

German Autowerks does great work, and quickly! Ill never take my car anywhere else

Chris and the team were fantastic to work with for my brake repairs and oil change on my BMW X1. Will definitely use them again!

Chris and Jeff over at German Autowerks were amazing. They have diagnosed my 2015 Audi A3 with needing a Thermostat and Water pump as well as two wheel bearings. They were able to get me in same day when most shops had a wait of a week or two and did the job right. Also they worked with my warranty company (Car Shield) and were very patient and persistent in getting it approved through them. They called and informed me of where they were at every step of the process. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism as well as expertise. They will be getting more of my business in the future. If you have a german vehicle make sure if you have any needs go and see them!

This shop is super professional and very reasonable! They did a timing chain on my GTI and gave me a few tips along the way. I will definitely be back and would send other VW owners their way!

Ive been going to German Autowerks for many years, first with my B5 A4, then my Mk1 Mini, and most recently my B8 S4. In this past year and a half, as of my last estimate, Ive spent about 5.5k on various repairs in this shop.I can, unfortunately, no longer trust German Autowerks to do quality work.My last service, for replacement rotors and pads, took three weeks. When I received the car back I discovered it was missing, in no particular order, OIL DIPSTICK (wasnt in for an oil change), TWO CALIPER BOLTS (driverside), ANTI-RATTLE SPRING CLIP (passenger side).I should not have to personally check that the work this shop (or any other professional) does was executed correctly. Not only is this negligent, it is dangerous.Once I had the car back (for the 3rd time) I noticed a slight grinding at low speeds and noticed a groove being made in my brand new rotor. I brought the car back, explained what I thought the issue likely was (caliper carrier making contact with the rotor), and was told over the phone its the pads, theres no way the carrier is causing that damage.They clearly didnt check, just assumed I wouldnt know any better. Once I got the car back home, I pulled the pads, it is definitely the caliper carrier (see photos), likely damaged and pushed into the rotor when the carrier bolts were left off and then driven for two weeks.I will be replacing the part myself and I will never trust German Autowerks to touch my car again.Im not sure what has changed, but if you bring your car here, be prepared to check all the work that is done. Truly a shame.

Jetta burped and these guys got me right in. Fixed next day and didnt have to fund Germains marketing dept. Danke sehr!

Been coming here for years. Quality work and a fair price.

These guys are awesome! Very helpful and knowledgeable. They helped diagnose some problems on an older Passat and were very honest. Thanks Bob!

I tend to be nervous about mechanics working on my VW GTI. The master mechanic Jeff did an amazing job working on my intake, plugs/coils and timing chain. The day I drove my car off the lot it felt like a new car. Very professional and friendly staff including Chris who helps at the front desk. I would highly recommend service here, they also are very reasonable with pricing for german autos. Thank you again for making me a happy driver!!

New to Columbus, OH. In the military and just moved from Germany and needed to have some parts and gaskets replaced on my BMW. They will not install customer provided parts even if they are OEM parts for warranty reasons. Wont work on vehicles if exhaust is modified due to Ohio State regulations on motor vehicles (catalytic converters) even if the registration is out of state. Person I spoke with was kind of rude towards the end of calling about exhaust work, gaskets, and attempted to talk to me like Im not understanding the context of the conversation instead of providing me information that would be helpful and just seemed annoyed.

At first the experience with German Autowerks was great then I had an issue with them not finishing the job before sending me home with my car. They had my car for a week before they stated the car was ready for pick up which it turns out it was not. I picked up my car on Friday and noticed all the issues Saturday morning when i turned on my windshield wipers and a piece of plastic flew out, part of my shroud. After popping the hood it was easy to notice a lot of work was left undone or done very poorly. They lost my battery cover. They broke the shroud for my air box and didnt even attempt to reattach. They left air sensor unplugged. They left a piece of the air box under the windshield wiper. The didnt reinstall the clamp on the MAP sensor correctly. They also didnt bleed the brakes properly after installing a new brake booster. I needed my vehicle so I finished the work that I paid German Autowerks to do. The Monday following was the first day they were open for business and I contacted Terry, one of the owners, to discuss this issue. He requested that I bring the car back and they would fix the issues. I told them that i had to fix the issues myself as I needed my car and they were closed on the weekend, not to mention they had my car for a week and couldnt complete the work correctly. I asked for a partial refund since I had to finish the work that I paid them for and to cover the cost of damaged and missing parts. At that point German Autowerks became very unprofessional. I will not do business with this company again due to the inability to complete the work they were paid for and the lack of customer service when they made a mistake.

This place is a scam spend over $2400 to fix my car at 1st they were supposed to put new valve cover gasket on the car. Picked the car up and it was smoking so bad I took it back right away the. They said I need a new valve cover. So they charged me to put a new one in which the valve cover comes with the gasket so I basically paid for the gasket twice. After they said they fixed it for the second time I picked it up as soon as I started it the car started smoking worse than ever. They said that that was normal and now my car is leaking oil every where and smoking constantly. Also my check engine light was on when I got it back and they said they are sorry that they forgot to put some parts back on the car before giving me it so they did they but still didn’t fix what I paid for now my car is way worse than it was and now I’m out $2400. This is by far the worsts auto shop I have ever been too will never go back and will not recommend anyone ever go there. Horrible customer service the mechanics are not certified and do not know what they are doing I had to show them what to do and where is was leaking. Very unprofessional. I WILL be calling my attorney and contacting the BBB and filing a complaint.

Everyone was very nice. They called to talk over all repairs needed answered all questions. We have been there 3 times and all work was done great and fast .

Great service.....Ill be back!

I have an 09 VW Rabbit in otherwise great condition, but recently it seemed like everything started going wrong at once. I took it to a dealership for two of the issues and probably paid too much. Finally, after telling the dealership for the second time that I was hearing a knocking/rattling sound from the engine (the first time they conveniently didnt hear anything and sent me on my way; the second time they wanted to charge me another 150 to diagnose a problem that they failed to find the first time), they finally told me that my alternator was now going bad, and quoted a pretty ridiculous amount to fix it. I decided to look elsewhere, and found German Autowerks in a Google search. They were very prompt in responding to my message asking if they could service it. Jeff and Terry are great guys and reassured me that they could do better than the dealership, and they werent wrong. They saved me a ton of money, and better yet, they stand behind their work. They were very honest and clear about the whole process. I know where Ill be bringing my car for future repairs. I just wish I had done it sooner!

Response to owner: HOW on earth could I feel comfortable or confident bringing the vehicle here when you couldn’t even fill up the tank or wiper fluid upon my request when purchasing the vehicle? Absolutely sketchy and I should have known from that moment you were just glad to get it off your hands. It was extremely unprofessional. I believe a bad review of my experience is appropriate for this situation considering I wasted $3,000 on a car that didn’t drive more than 5 times. And yes, the belt was backwards despite you claiming it wasn’t possible. I wholeheartedly trust the professional mechanic I took it to rather than the shady dealer I purchased it from. I reiterate what my original post states: No one should purchase a vehicle or come in for a repair unless they know everything about cars.Original Post: I purchased a used Volkswagen Jetta here in early January. I test drove it and thought everything was fine. However, even on the way home I noticed they did not fill up the tank or wiper fluid as I had requested after test driving before purchasing. Since January, I have literally only driven this car 5 times (INCLUDING the drive home from German Autowerks) because of the issues it has. The fourth time I went to start the car, it wouldn’t start or even turn on. I bought a brand new battery for it, and put it in, and it worked FOR ONE DRIVE. I took it to the mechanic for them to say I was grossly overcharged for the car (I paid $3000, and they said it was a lemon not worth more than $500 at most!! because of the issues it had before I even bought it) Funny story: the mechanics even told me that German Autowerks put the belt on BACKWARDS, which was a likely cause for some of the problems the car has.Moral of the story: DO NOT buy a car here (or even take your car there for repairs) unless you know everything under the sun about cars and plan to watch over them and guide them as they do everything. They will take advantage of you. Totally a shame, since this was my first real adult purchase and I put all of my trust into them (especially Bob, the man who walked me through the paperwork) just for them to ruin everything.

About a month ago, I went here knowing I needed my brake system bled. I told them specifically that that is what I needed, because I was getting the Trifecta Lights on my cluster and there was air still trapped in the system after changing all my brake lines, including the ones at the ABS pump. After having my car for not very long, they told me they needed to hook up a diagnostic system to find out what the cause of the lights were and that would cost $280. Well, it seems they dont pay attention when the customer tells them what kind of work they want done. I ended up doing the brake bleed myself with BMW software and, lo and behold, the lights went away. Your mileage may vary with them but, for me, it was annoying that I told them what I needed and they ignored that. Why? I dont know. I dont know how much simpler one can say, I need my brake system bled. Only thing I do know is that any more servicing I need done on my car, Ill find someone else.

I was told the only thing that could turn off my check engine light was if I changed my timing belt not to mention I just replaced the engine including the timing belt. These people are a hoax and are only trying to give false diagnostics just so they can hustle you for an extra buck.

German Autowerks is awesome! Let me elaborate. I just bought a used 2013 BMW 328i xdrive a couple of months ago. In great condition, super low miles, and one month later, the transfer case goes bad. I took my car to be diagnosed and get a repair quote at local BMW dealership and was given a breakdown of all the parts that needed to be replaced and final cost for parts and labor. It was an astronomical amount. I decided to get a second opinion but had a pretty difficult time finding anyone willing to replace the notorious transfer case. I found German Autowerks through a Google search and immediately Terry was super kind and knew the problems people have with transfer cases going bad. He told me they could absolutely fix it and to just bring my car on in. I forwarded the quote the BMW dealer gave me to Terry and upon inspecting my car, they found that my car did NOT in fact even need all of the parts replaced that I was told by the dealership. German Autowerks was able to fix my car quickly and for less than 1/3 of what the dealer was going to charge. Terry took the time to explain what they did, inspected, and the test drive upon completion of the work. He also reassured me that my car is in great shape aside from the transfer case having gone bad. I cant say enough good things about the service they provided and they have definitely gained a long term customer in me.

Couldnt figure out what was wrong with my car without wanting minimum of $450 to replace battery and start taking things apart, and Im sure after they started more $$$ would of been added, still charged me $65 for them to plus their diagnosis scan tool Which I could of taken to auto parts for that. You dont charge someone $65 to tell them they have a bad battery and if they want to continue it would be minimum of $450. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE UNLESS YOU HAVE DEEP POCKETS!

Pretty cool guys here. They listened to my problems and helped me out the best they could, even though I was only there for a few specialty parts. I recommend them from any German vehicle from the air-cooled Volkswagens all the way up to modern Audi. Their lot always has cool cars to ogle too!

A diamond in the rough- rare to find a group of people that go above and beyond for their customers but this is hands down the best auto service company I have ever dealt with. We live over an hour away, and the staff stayed late the last day of buisness before Xmas so we could check out an amazingly well priced used VW Beetle for our daughter. They were friendly, knowledable, honest and straight forward about their cars for sale and we bought here after looking at multiple dealerships previously. The people here make the difference, and you would be hard pressed to find any company with a better group than German Autowerks. We had a question about a month after our purchase and stopped by the shop and everyone was exactly as helpful as when we made a purchase. They genuinely care about their customers and their jobs and it shines throughout the shop from the mechanics that came outside to demo the answer to our question, and to the friendly front desk people that greet you with a smile. Bob remembered our purchase and asked if our daughter was surprised...she was there this trip and got the chance to tell him herself that it was the best Xmas ever and she LOVES her VW Beetle Thank you to all at German Autowerks- We will make the hour+ drive for any service needs in the future because that is how highly we value the staff and service we received - you can trust German Autowerks cares

Super mechanics work here! everyone at the front desk is super nice and There is one mechanic in general I would recommend absolutely everytime Josh! They do amazing restorations definitely a great place to get automotive needs taken care of.

Dont go here to fix your car. They charged me $320 to put on a stripped spark plug and they didnt even do it right the The ring still comes out when replacing the spark plug. They said that it was $90 for an hour of serves. I didnt have a problem, except when they told me it took a professional mechanic 2 hours to replace one stripped spark plug whole with a kit that is meant to be used by anyone. Then they said they replaced a hose for $15 and the hose was not even 6in long. you can get a 9ft from autozone for $9. They said they let me go easy because they put 2 gallon of gas because i didnt have gas and at the time gas was $2.15 a gallon.

Great service and friendly staff.

Friendly staff & quality work. They just did a 6 to 12 volt conversion on my ‘63 Bug & I couldn’t be happier! These guys are a great resource for the air-cooled community in Central Ohio.

We came to German Autowerks looking for a reliable car for our 16-year-old daughter. This is such a stressful time when your child starts driving! But Bob and the staff at German Autowerks made sure that we left with the right car. Their focus was on safety and reliability. They cared about our daughter and worked to make sure we were leaving with something that was both reliable and safe, as well as in good shape. When we picked the car up, we were greeted by multiple staff who were eager to tell us what they did to ensure we were going home with a great car for our money. One mechanic assured us that he put the same care in as he would for his own daughter, because he would want someone to do the same in 8 years. By the time we left, we knew we would be back. This was a terrific car buying experience. Thank you Bob, and all of the staff at German Autowerks!

I bought my car here about 3 weeks ago, and I’m absolutely loving it! So grateful to have found this location. There was absolutely no pressure to buy a vehicle, and the staff go above and beyond to make you feel safe and comfortable about the decisions you make. Wonderful people, who are passionate about what they do, care about there name, and care even more about each and every customer who walks in the door. Thank you so much, guys!

Great service very attentive

They were very polite, however when they hooked are BMW up to there machine we explained we already did that at another company who was going to fix the transmission, because that was the only thing that they found after they hooked it up. I told them the only reason we came to them was we were hoping they could give is a definitive answer. But we ended up paying something in the ballpark of $165.00 & all they told us was what we already was told and what we told them before they even hooked it up!! Not sure where they stand? I guess everyone might have their own opinions so go their if you feel the need to and find out on your own?

I bought a Beetle convertible from German Autowerks and I have to say that it was a great buying experience. The staff was straight forward and honest and they all went out of their way to be helpful. The car had a small problem right after I bought it but they jumped right in and took care of it for me. These guys are great and so is my little convertible!

Mechanic Perspective:Spent well over 2 hours working with a finicky air-ride suspension and only charged for 1.5 hours. Did customer a SOLID.Customer Perspective:Only agreed to 1hr diagnostic = $120; but got charged $190. Came in with 1 axle deflated; 3hrs later, left with both axles deflated.Informed mechanic that I likely knocked around a sensor; mechanic concludes that theres something wrong with sensors.Conclusion:Very nice and amiable mechanics dont make up for poor results: 3hrs, $190, and a vehicle in objectively worse shape than it arrived.

This is my second visit to German Autowerks and I cannot be happier with their service. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. The customer service is exceptional and they truly care about you as a customer. I never experienced this level of service at the expensive BMW dealership where I used to take my car. I started wondering if I was being overcharged and advised by the dealership to do unnecessary repairs. That is exactly what was happening. I would highly recommend German Autowerks for anyone looking for a place to take their car and receive excellent customer care, extremely knowledgeable staff and technicians and reasonably priced service. They earned my trust and business for life.

Superb service always provided here. I trust my VW with no one else.

If I could rate these guys more than 5 stars I would Bob was a tremendous help and went out of his way to make sure I was taken care of very very nice people there. As well as John and Kara were a big big help too and got my car too me in a timely manner would suggest anyone too this place in a heart beat. Definitely won a lifetime customer here 👍🏻👍🏻

At first I was happy with my choice of using German Autowerks to service my X3, although it drained my wallet. It started as a basic oil change to thousands of dollars in repairs. Had NO signs of oil leaks prior to visit but ended up paying for an oil stand housing gasket leak, a valve cover leak, and coolant flush because supposedly the wrong coolant was put in even though it was filled with bmw compatible coolant so I had them do all the work. But hey, I have to put my trust in someone to do the job and do it right so what I am supposed to do? Since having the work done, I do have signs of leaking in our garage now. I refuse to go back to them and have further problems developed from the last service work that was done. I took our car to another service shop and they shown me that my coolant was not flushed and the value cover was not replaced but simply cleaned off. He went down my list of service work I had done at German Autowerks and stated how I was way overcharged. Jobs that should have only taken 20-30mins was getting charged at 4 hours etc. Its hard to trust businesses especially auto service departments because they can tell the person that knows little about cars anything and get away with it. This is my experience and my opinion about this place. Many others probably had great service and everything needing to be done to their vehicles was legit and done correctly. Just be careful is all Im saying. Best of luck to you.

Got in an appointment when my sons car had an emergency repair. They got the car in and repaired, and out right away. No hassles!

We were traveling cross country when our right front BMW wheel started making noise. We stopped in a town an hour away and they diagnosed bad wheel bearing, but didnt have the part. We were sent to two other places that didnt have the part and recommended going to a bigger city. We called the dealership in Columbus and were told they were booking out 3 weeks, and he didnt even try to help us. We called German Autowerks and they said Come on in. Well get you back on the road today. They were very nice and even let us wait inside with our dog. The price was substantially less than we expected we were back on the road in less than 2 hours. We would definitely use them all the time if we lived closer!

Owner of an Audi A7, was driving through Columbus on a roadtrip and unfortunately curbed by tire in the evening. The tire thankfully did not blow, but it did look severely damaged. I unassuredly scanned the local area for somewhere who could help in the morning. German Autowerks had many great reviews, so I decided to trust them with my repairs.I showed up early the next morning (7AM), they were very kind and able to fit me in as a walk-in. They inspected the tire promptly. Since it is a rarer tire they needed to send for it from another part of town (pretty standard from when I called other tire shops). They got me back on the road before 11. The price they quoted me for tire + labor was also reasonable and on par with the other shops that I called.I had a great experience with German Autowerks. I was able to continue on and finish my 1500 mi road trip without issues. I would strongly recommend to others.

Knowlegeble people, great service. I first came to German Autowerks when john started this small shop and watched him get bigger in the same complex. Fair price great choice if you dont want to go to the dealer. Love seeing them grow

John and the crew at German Autowerks are always helpful and fair. Work is done when promised and done correctly. Wouldn’t go anywhere else for VW, Audi or BMW car repair.

Brought my 07 328 Xi to John and the crew to replace the starter. The service was exceptional. Trustworthy, thorough mechanics that take customer care seriously! Car is starting smoother than ever. German Autowerks will continue to have my business when future problems arise.

Great guys very affordable repairs. First shop told me 6400 to fix I then took it to them and 2200 later my car is back working.

Very pleased with this place. I just bought a used Tourag there and they had the vehicle for a fair price and answered all my questions. I even met some of their mechanics and will take the car there for service. I heard through others that this was a quality business and from my experience I agree that it is.

I was expecting great things. Got a variety of stuff. very disappointing. I will not go there again.

IF YOU ARE DRIVING A LONG DISTANCE DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. Talked to Bob on a Tuesday about a Beetle I was I tested in buying for my daughter and was told he would have his people go over the car and call me back. John the owner called me back on Thursday like Bob Said he would which was awesome to give me info on the car. I told John that I would buy the car, mind you I haven’t seen it in person as I live five hours away. John said great I’ll see you Saturday, which he knew I was driving 5 hours Saturday morning. I called Friday to find out how he would like to be paid and again John said he would see us Saturday. Well I get off work and go home and me and my family leave at 530am cst. We arrive at German Autowerks at the 1100-1130 est. we walk in the door and the Owners wife has an older couple walking out to drive the car. Well at this moment I am heated. John tells me he is sorry and that his wife didn’t know I was driving there. Well couple gets back and decides to buy the car. Well at this point now we are being asked if there is anything else on the Lot we like. We drove one other and the Airbag light and the convertible top light was on. After this we all go sit in our car and my daughter is in tears as this is her first car we are buying that she is paying for. Wife is beyond mad also. You know I understand they are in the business of selling cars but this car shouldn’t have even been an option for the older couple to look at. John knew we were driving 5 hours from Dale, Indiana and should have told us we needed a deposit to hold the car or should have not had it in front for all customers to buy. IF YOU ARE DRIVING A LONG DISTANCE DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. Very nice people but there should be better communication between people selling the cars so this does not happen.

Great place to have your car serviced. Great team of guys.

Very knowledgeable and friendly. Good price with no upsales.

Excellent mechanics, top level service. They will take the time to explain what is going on with your vehicle . The work is done quickly and definitely recommended!

German Autowerks is just great! Honest, fair and dependable. Certified techs are expert in German automobiles. I highly recommend German Autowerks!

Trustworthy and fairly priced.These guys get my love for my old volkswagen, and they are always great about walking me through the diagnostics and answering my questions before doing any work. They explain pricing and options clearly, offering options and opinions on what is necessary and what is ideal when appropriate. German car owners should feel lucky to have such a gem in the Columbus area!

I have to be honest. John Clancy is one man that will do what he can in his power to help you out. German Autowerks and John are the same people who completely fixed a car up, made it street legal and a reliable transportation for a family that could use some help, and he paid for all of it out of his personal pocket.My personal experience with him started 7 months ago. I was going through a bad time in my life, lost my dad and my job around the same time. I was at the lowest part of my life and I get a email about a job. I didnt think I had a chance for it. But I showed up to meet John and the rest of German Autowerks team, it was a great experience for me, I love all VWs and have owned a few in my time . He hired me and has been not just a boss but one hell of a friend!For people to degrade what we do hurts all of us there. We are not just employees we are family! Keep up the good work.

These guys are amazing and very sweet. Won’t rest until the job is done. Thank you so much again

Take care. They try to upcharge you. I got told it would be $99 for an oil change. I ended up with a bill of $210.A 5-minute analysis off error codes that I didnt agree on added $100. At the time of entering the mechanic the check engine light wasnt on.

I’m very thankful to have found these guys after dealing with dealerships I don’t trust anymore. I found it difficult to find a trustworthy shop that would touch my car being a modified MK7 Golf R. They helped me solve some gremlins I had with my project after I couldn’t fix them. I will continue to take my car there for the difficult service jobs and any problems the car may have in the future. Recommend them over any of the German dealerships!!!!

If you want quality service this is the place to take your German vehicle. If you want to drive an expensive car, not maintain it, and complain about the bill go see your local backyard mechanic. Good service isnt cheap. Cheap service isnt good! These guys fix it correctly the first time.

Nice bettles for resale

My experience with German Autowerks was exceptional. I love my Beetle but it has a lot of items that need repaired. I took it to the shop and the service writer explained that they would need at least an hour labor to figure out what was needed. They came back with a list of items and took the time to explain each item and then prioritize what was needed and what could wait. They were very upfront about the potential cost of all the items but after I had the most needed repairs completed, my car ran much better and the warning lights on the dash were out. It still needs some work but I have an idea what it should cost if nothing else goes wrong. Its true that any type of car can have its issues but thanks to the good service and a professional attitude of the folks at German Autowerks, I am now a full fledged VW fan and possibly a life time owner.

Knowledgeable guys who love cars. Not many mechanics like them.

Bob was very nice! I just purchased a 2002 Cabrio at a very decent price. They were very accommodating in regards to staying after a little bit, as I didnt get off work and make it over till @4:30pm, and they close at 5pm. They stayed after to allow me to test drive and such and I never felt rushed.

They returned my car with the key fob not working and some LED cables ripped, I Addressed this issue, and never got back a response

Was just quoted 1250 for a pinion seal replacement. Kelly BMW charges 850 and everyone knows to avoid BMW dealerships if you value money. Shop around, theres better out there.

I worked with John and Jesse for many years. Both are stand up guys. I would not hesitate to have John work on any of mine or my families vehicles. I feel the same of Jesse. Keep up the good work guys.

These guys drove my 2003 BMW 330xi that had this wierd shaking problem for 2 hours and couldnt diagnose the issue but saw I had a leak in the rear diff, so they filled it up and they thought it might fix the problem. It did! Was a super cheap diagnosis and they worked hard to figure it out. I had even suggested motor mounts and they were very honest they couldnt find anything wrong with them or the car. Super cool, honest dudes with fair labor rates. Suggesting them to a buddy myself.

Usually people dread having to take their car to the shop. But the crew at German Autowerks alway set my mind at ease. Theyre honest and their prices are way lower than the dealership, sometimes literally half the price! John the owner is always willing to discuss options to help save you money. I appreciate their honesty and all of them do a fine job! Having to maintain a Volkswagon is already stressful and these guys help lighten the load.

Get a hard copy of your quote or it will be higher price when you arrive to pickup.

Great experience ! Top quality work and service . Superior to Dealership in every way possible.

New to the area. Brought 2008 A4 in for a timing belt and other small things. Done within 24hrs. An honest shop with great customer service. Highly recommend!

Nice to deal with. Honest and upfront with you!!

Thank you for your reasonable diagnosis and repair.

Excellent staff will answer any questions you have even if youre doing work on your own and want some advice. I brought in my S4 with a broken caliper (that I screwed up) these guys squeezed me in and took on the project to fix everything staying late on a Friday. Excellent mechanics, excellent owner, excellent service.This is the 3rd time Ive been here. Ive got my 55k service done here and my wifes 45k service done here. Will always do my business here as long as I own a German car.

Did some aftermarket work on my audi TT RS that didnt go perfect, brought it to them and within an hour they had figured out and fixed what I messed and barely charged me anything. These guys are great.

Dealer quoted me an outrageous price for a simple lug stud replacement. German Autowerks did it for $100 less than that dealerships quote

Bought a car in mid December and was told I was getting an excellent deal. On the drive home the oil light came on and they towed it back that night and said they fixed it. A couple of days later the car wouldn’t start and they had to tow it again and replace the starter. A week later I was driving the car to visit my brother and the oil light came back on, I called and they told me to keep driving it and then my engine exploded. They were nice and replaced the engine for me but kept telling me how they didn’t have to do it because I bought the car as is. I appreciate that they replaced it but now the new engine is having the same problems and I had to cancel another trip because of how unreliable this car is. Not to mention all the other little things like no AC, one windshield wiper stopped working, all the handles in the interior of the car broke off, and my check engine light is on for something else. It was my first experience buying a car and I used all of my savings. Now it’s not even 6 months later and I have to figure out a way to buy a new car. Save yourself the time, money, and stress and stay very very far away from this place.

I purchased my wifes 1998 A6 Quattro from John about 3 1/2 years ago. I usually do my own repair work, but had John and his guys take care of a couple of minor issues as part of the purchase agreement. Since then, I have been back a few times to ask for a nudge in the right direction when I was stuck chasing down some electrical issues. John and his team were always very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend them.

One of the best car buying experiences I have ever had. The difference in professionalism and knowledge is obvious. I went to a plethora of used car lots before GA and left disappointed. I would find hidden damage, mechanical issues and even title issues that were not disclosed and often hidden by these decrepit car lots.GA treated me fairly, allowed me to inspect the vehicle on one of their racks and even fixed a small issue we had with the vehicle after purchase.Thank you for making an often stressful experience pleasurable.Special thanks to Bruno.

This team at German Autowerks is the best! Not only are their prices very competitive, they are extremely knowledgeable and have very skilled technicians. This is the best German Auto repair on the west side of Columbus.

If I could do no stars and a review I would. I took my car in and both times they lied to me about the estimate and my car came out driving the exact same as it did before. Even after a transmission replacement. Either way, they still charged me more than what they said. So. 🖕

Weve taken our 98 Jetta there twice the last year. The two different people weve worked with (John and Bruno) have been increndibly understanding of situations and went beyond accommodating. Communication was great and price was more than fair! Will always go to them.

Honest and quick! I live on the opposite end of town but it’s always worth the trip for the quality of work.

Quality customer service, time efficient, and very reasonably priced.

John is a good guy, cares about the cars and his customers. Has helped me out numerous times. Highly recommend.

I love that when I have an issue, all i need to do is get my car to German Autowerks and they will handle it. I have even had it dropped off there after hours by a tow truck and a few days later they have me up and running. They have turned car trouble into a stress free experience.Thank you John Clancy and your amazing team at German Autowerks.#stressfreecarrepair #greatserviceatgermanautowerks.

They diagnosed and fixed our 2008 Audi Q7 at a reasonable price! Thanks for the help Terry!

As a first time customer, I received a free inspection. I had previously taken the car to be inspected at a Volkswagen dealership due to time constraints. In comparison German Autowerks was more thorough, and their quote for fixes was considerably lower.

Great quality work and very affordable. I definitely recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

John and the team are rock solidI have had them do a lot of work on our 58 Beetle the past few years. Work is always quality and the team will even correct something they worked on several years ago under warranty in many cases.I picked our bug up again today after getting the front end and suspension worked on. John and his team where also able to completely revamp our brake system from a single to dual reservoir system and a very fair price.If you need service on a new car or have an old VW I thoroughly recommend you pay John and the team a visit. Great bunch of guysAnd Kudos Lenny.... I havent had that much fun driving a car in a long time Bug drove great :)

Our Jetta had a problem no one else could find... We had changed the fuel pump, all the relays, checked a bunch of electrical connections, and the car still wouldnt run. They diagnosed and found a few bad wires in the main engine harness, had them fixed in one day, and charged us less than what the replacement fuel pump cost me somewhere else. Two other shops thought is was a bad ECU and wanted to charge $1500 to replace it. Im glad I brought it to German Autowerks instead. Great shop!

Ive taken my Jetta here a few times for various work. The people are courteous and helpful, they do good work, and are honest. While their prices are fair, Ive found that there isnt a huge difference between German Autowerks and some local dealers.Besides price, part of the reason I deducted one star is something a bit silly. They have the worlds worst music playing when youre on the phone on hold. Seriously, its awful. Otherwise Id definitely recommend German Autowerks.

The staff at German Autowerks is friendly, and the work they have performed has been great. I have a 72 VW Beetle Bug. She is a 45 year old daily driver so I needed her to be reliable. I would recommend them to anyone.adjusted valves/replaced gasketsreplaced copper plugs/replaced fuel lines/fuel filternew mufflers/clampsbrakes adjustednew pre-heater hosenew clutchrebuilt carburetorreplaced rear axlesreplaced transmission mount

I cant say enough great things about the service and staff. I have an A5 and my husband has an S4. This is the only place we trust our vehicles to. Reasonable pricing, though I would definetly pay more!

My car was making a slight humming noise when driving, I suspected a faulty rear suspension bushing and took it for an inspection but they found the issue to be with tyres. The guys I interacted with (Bruno & Rob) are friendly and honest people. I got my oil changed during the same visit. All in - they took less than 90 mins to give me back my car and their prices are reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place to friends/family.

Work was good. Sold me an after market part for OEM pricing which isnt cool. Wasnt thrilled about that. Could have bought the same part for over a hundred bucks cheaper. Cant help but to think it was a quick money grab.

Good group of guys with a wealth of old to new Volkswagen knowledge

The best shop around Columbus for your VW. John was a wonderful mechanic and helped get my AC back up and working. I highly recommend this shop to any VW owner!

Anything is wrong with your car, take it here. Best guys, just trying to make a living, they wont overcharge you or anything. 100% going back if anything is ever wrong.

Way better than going to the stealership. and way better priced. ive been going to these guys for quite some time now and theyre always very thorough with their work. thanks german autowerks!
