About a month a ago my Infiniti G35 started knocking so I called a couple places to inquire about a VQ35DE, luckily for me the guys at German, Korean, and Japanese auto parts were able to help me with that, not only that they also gave me a pretty competitive price compared to other places. They have amazing customer service, especially Gerardo, I will be going with these guys in the future as well as recommend them to all my friends and family! Now my G is back to normal and better than ever!!
Returning customer here, I’m happy and satisfied with their parts. So far, I have purchased engines and electric parts. Today we purchased an exhaust system for an infinity. All good, top quality.
I usually don’t do reviews, but I was impressed with the quality and service from this place.Ordered a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta transmission for my wife’s vehicle, the transmission arrived in excellent shape, we did not even have to drain the old fluid, no half way cut wiring, no broken parts. My mechanic installed the transmission without any kind of issues, now my wife’s car runs better than ever. We never noticed how much difference a 30k miles transmission could do on a vehicle with 120k miles. I’d like to express my gratitude towards everyone at German Korean auto. They made the process easy and smooth.
I called about an advertised as low mileage engine from them. They promised 70,000 or less and I bought it (and paid a premium price). Paid another $418 to have it shipped from CA to CO. Engine was damaged in shipment, most likely due to insufficient care when strapping to the pallet. Nevertheless I accepted the engine and started readying it for the install.As a lifelong professional auto technician Im thorough when examining used engines for any problems PRIOR to installation as it is much easier to remedy any issues before the engine goes back in the vehicle. I pulled the timing cover to inspect the timing belt and water pump and the belt is VERY cracked and worn indicating this engine likely has well over 100,000 miles. Probably closer to double the 70,000 miles they ASSURED me it had.Called Nader and got no help and he seemed insulted that I would even question their mileage claims. Now NO ONE can say for sure how many miles this engine has, it could have 270,000 for all I know. But after 40 years in this business I can say with confidence that theres NO WAY this is anywhere close to a 70K mile engine.Timing belts look good at 70K, they still look good at 100K.Also used a bore scope to look inside cylinders and there are high amounts of carbon build-up and evidence of oil on the top of a most of the pistons. This $2000 engine is likely junk.DONT BUY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!P.S. although a 4.5 start rating seems good, sort these reviews by newest and you will find way too many 1 star reviews. Risky business buying from these guys. You may get lucky, but without a doubt they are dishonest.
My friends at German Korean always go above and beyond for me and my business. During this tough times they have helped me so much making sure we get our cars ready for sale. I’m very grateful to have them in my team.
Excellent service; gentleman at the front office walked me through the store to pick and choose the drivetrain parts I was looking for. Recommend to friends and family
No other word other than perfection. I and my families have come here countless times. Besides from the great service, everyone was very friendly and caring about what I needed. Everyone was experts and know what they are doing, and very affordable.
My friends here have helped me with countless parts for all my car sales. From engines, transmissions to tail lights and so on. I’m very grateful to have them on my side. They’re very knowledgeable and fast!
My friends at German Korean auto helped me out finding an engine for my Mercedes. He saved me hundreds of dollars and I skipped searching so much. Now I get to enjoy my labor weekend with my car fully running. I’m very grateful to have this fantastic team
Hands down the best shop to purchase motors and other auto parts for your vehicle. The staff is very knowledgeable and are always kind. I would recommend GKA if you are looking to find a killer deal on parts for your car.
Great customer service from Gerardo & Ivan! Always helping me out with parts I need on my Genesis! Would 10/10 recommend anyone to go if you’re looking for parts!
Love these guys, always helping me with all the parts I need for my shop. They are reliable and always solve the problems I have. Problem solving is priority in business.
This is going to be my third time buying from this business. I usually deal with Mike for any parts that I need. Recently we did a powertrain engine swap in our weekend BMW 325i, we were able to source a fully running 330i engine from german Korean auto. Engine worked just fine, no issues whatsoever. Mike also helped me to troubleshoot the software to support a larger displacement.
My engine on my 2020 q50 blew up at the track. I met jerry over there as well. He told me I could come over to his shop and look at some motors. Finally, we decided on where to take this build and they built me a new 3.0 motor to hold a bit more boost without sacrificing reliability. The motor is now pushing north of 500hp.
I’m very satisfied with the engine and transmisión combo I purchased from German Auto. Originally, I over revved my motor and destroyed the complete drivetrain. I saw the car at their location and I ordered the engine and gear box on Monday and they delivered as promised on Wednesday. After the install was done, the engine had no leaks or any kind of issues. I found them through car-part.com. Parts were clean, customer service was excellent.
Always good and clean engines for me and good price
Amazing place they sell you good working parts not like other dismantling Places like nuway in wilmington … Ben is a great guy I recommend going here for good working parts look for ben !
Extremely satisfied with the pre owned engine. Service was helpful and fast, no complaints. Everything promised was delivered
I purchased a BMW Engine from this shop 2 months ago and it has worked perfectly I definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to buy parts!
Purchased a couple transmissions from them for my toyotas, both transmissions were great. Theyre running super good and Im happy to have both cars back running.
They were able to find difficult parts to fix my sons car at a very low/reasonable price!
About a week ago, my bmw 323 started having issues with the transmission. Ben at German figured out which transmission I needed and sold me a transmission that works 100%. Totally recommend to friends and family
After searching for a transmission for my Kia Optima and only coming up to ridiculously expensive ones elsewhere, I came across this shop and found a good unit here. Had it delivered to my local shop for a small fee and the transmission shop I commissioned to do the repair remarked that the mileage stated by GKA was accurate based off the condition from the pre-inspection. So far so good, havent had any strange issues with my transmission since it was installed.
Be careful! I went in to get a transmission advertised on car-part for $799. The guy Alex with blonde hair printed an invoice for $800, a $100 core charge to recycle the old part since they don’t rebuild, and insisted the tax rate was about 9% or $88(the city hall of HB told me over the phone it was in fact 7.75%. Later they slammed the door on me and said they refuse to sell me anything. As I wrote this report they reopened the door reduced the tax to $62 then said the part was just sold to BMW of Long Beach though the dealer would never buy a used anything from them. All lies from Mike and Alex Watch Out American people.
Reccomend 100% - good parts, very good price compared to other yards. They dont play games. Im for sure coming back again for more parts
Last month my BMW 335 decided to quit and throw a rod. Jerry helped me so much from showing me many engines to finding a mechanic for me, Im very happy with everything.
Theyre always my go to for any engines and transmissions. I always send them customers and they are always happy!! Recently they sold me a great engine for my Kia Sorento. Its working perfect and i can keep my business going. Thank you so much.
I bought a 2ZZ engine for my Celica GTS and couldn’t be happier. I spoke to Jerry and within the next day I had the engine ready to be installed. No surprises whatsoever! Have been running the engine on a daily for over a month now and it runs great. Also passed smog no problem. Overall I’m very satisfied and highly recommend them.
They’re always willing to help me when Im in need. We run a small repair shop next door and the guys at German always let me surf for small bits and pieces!
Will not buy from them again. Their customer service reps are very nice, but they tell you its one price then find out its actually more than what they quoted. Let me explain. I called for an engine and the initial pricing sounds good until they start hitting you with core fees and they quote shipping and its not anywhere close to what the shippers quote. I was quoted 300 max by the sales rep for shipping to VA and the shippers said it would be over 400.00 and if I needed a lift gate it would be even more. We are in VA and I am not shipping a core back to Cali. What was really upsetting was the shipping fees after the fact and being told that if we used the lift gate when it gets here wed be charged extra. There is also a million things that have to be signed electronically and cant even get one of the items to open right now in email. The sales reps need to get with their shipping department when making quotes to give accurate pricing in the future.
Paid a premium price for a supposedly low mileage motor. Came to find out that it was indeed not a low mileage motor and that it burns oil at a rapid rate.For me personally this was a financial travesty with zero recourse.How do these people live with themselves?
My car broke down a couple days ago, it was difficult to find a certain engine part since my engine is European made. German got it for me under 48 hours.
Dishonest and unprofessional - avoid doing business with them.I contacted them about a engine with “low miles” (30k). When I asked for the VIN number of the donor car, they were unable to provide it - I should have hung up at that moment. Nader gave a glowing review of the engine, even saying “this would be the engine I would put it my daughter’s car if it needed it - it is the cleanest engine we have had in a long time…you aren’t going to have any problems with this one - trust me“. So I bought it.I purchased the engine and arranged shipping across the country. Unfortunately, the pallet that the engine and turbo were packaged on broke and the shipment was delayed significantly as a result and the turbo was damaged by the weight of the engine. I informed German Korean Auto of this in writing as it would delay the installation and received no response.I had the engine shipped to a reputable independent BMW shop - upon removing the oil pan, they discovered pieces of the serpentine belt inside of the engine (this is a very common catastrophic failure for these engines). In addition, the timing chain guard was broken and there was evidence of metal flakes in residual oil in the oil pan (indicating that oil starvation occurred, damaging the inside of the engine).The independent shop did not recommend installing the engine as is and I requested a replacement from the company. There is absolutely no way that this damage could have happened without the engine running (damage did not occur during shipping).This is where Nader and team turned incredibly ugly. I provided them with pictures and written statement from the shop I was using about the condition of the engine. They accused me of “playing games” with them and refused to help me. I asked to speak with the owner of their business and Nader indicated that “he would talk to him and let him decide if he wants to talk to me” - needless to say, I never received any contact from the owner.This parts provider is dishonest, unprofessional, and has terrible customer service.
If I could give them 0 stars I would. This company has lied to us on many occasion about product price and delivery. Ownership really needs to look into these guys working the counters very unprofessional very rude over promise and under deliver.
I bought an engine for my 06 BMW and it was in excellent condition. This is a great place to buy good parts at a fair price. Overall, this place has really good customer service and i would definitely recommend it.
BEWARE. THEY WILL SELL YOU AN ENGINE AND CLAIM IT ONLY HAS 60K MILES BUT THE ENGINE WE RECIEVED WAS NOT A LOW MILEAGE ENGINE. WHEN I CALLED TO ASK ABOUT THE TRUE MILEAGE THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL AND LIED LIKE CRAZY. THEN OFFERED FOR ME TO PAY TO RETURN THERE MISTAKE.THESE GUYS ARE SCAM ARTISTS.
DO NOT BUY HERE. if you wanna throw your money in garbage go ahead, I purchased a transmission from them, they said it only has 40k on it . What a lie . They lie about the Mileage just to get your money. What a shame. This business should get shut down. Even tho transmission is bad they still don’t wanna take it back, and give me my money back.
Sold us and engine with a cracked that leaked oil, and said it wasnt their problem.
Excellent communication, parts condition and delivery. Coast to coast one of the best car part businesses Ive ever had the pleasure working with.
These guys listed 5 engines for my car at $999. i called them 3 days in a row ready to buy it, and was told each time, well call you back. never called back. when i finally got someone who would actually do theyre job, the price jumped up $1000, and they would not honor their previous advertised price. do not do business with them, they are liars and cheats. i even took a picture of the previous price, which was just from 2 days ago. terrible customer service, do yourself a favor and stay away.
Called in on a part from car-part.com for $249. They told me those are all sold before even giving them a stock number. But they have another of what Im looking for that is at 300$. I asked him what the difference was and just said different stock number. Even though none was given.These people are dishonest and try to add on to pricing instead of honoring what they have advertised.
Extremely rude to customers. Would never recommend.Called asking for a part and was quoted $250, which is fine they can charge what they want to charge. I had searched around online and saw that the price was a bit higher than the average but i still wanted to give them my business as they are close by. I asked if they could give a more competitive price on the part and was told, no just go buy it somewhere else then and then he hung up on me.
DO NOT PURCHARSE ANYTHING HERE, they are good at taking your money but when it comes to returns they will not return your part, exchange, or give your money back. They have been giving me so many excuses. I am done dealing with them . I will report them to the bar.
Went to buy some parts for my genesis coupe that I needed and saw that they’re prices were steals compared to their competitors. Ivan was really helpful over messaging, right when I got there he already had everything ready which made the whole process very fast and simple like it should be. First but not last time going here for parts.
Dont purchase anything with this thieves they only want cash. Will not give an invoiceThey gave the wrong part and did not want to give my money backPaid 550 for a cooling system for a 2011 bmw the idiot gave a part for a 2010 bmw. And it was my fault what clowns
Due to reviews I called and asked for any information that will confirm engine mileage (vin) and they hung up on me, I thought it was my phone but they kept hanging up (attempted 3x). Shady business, I would stay away
Great Experience, Friendly workers, Time efficient and excellent customer service. Would definitely buy parts from here again.
This place is great! Lots of good bmw parts! Very nice staff! Prices are very fair and reasonable. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to give them a call!
Liar liar liar, these guy advertise for parts they don’t even carry, give you a price over the phone and tells you to come to pay and pick up ( they don’t take online payment ) when you arrive there, not only they don’t have the part in stock but the price has changed from $990 to $1200.Than they tell you to pay the parts and to come back a few day later to come and pick it up ( 1.30 hours drive one way ).Mileage advertise is not the same when you get there (+30000 miles )These guys are not trustfull at all.Keep your distance from this place.Oh i forgot they try to add also core fees ( $150) extra.Of course i did not pay anything and left
Received a great deal on some car doors I picked up today. Customer service was excellent, my friend and I who picked up the doors left feeling like friends with their store and workers. I highly recommend them for your auto part needs, I know I’ll be returning for whatever I need next !
My experience with German and korean parts was excellent. I was able to get an engine with only 25000 miles for my GENESIS COUPE. Engine ran super good, also the engine arrived spotless clean which made it super easy to install. Looks brand new, runs like never before.
Friendly service
Great customer service, very friendly environment. Iv been looking for parts for my BMW, no one really had it or it was very expensive. But German& Korean auto had many of the parts I was looking for and they gave me an amazing price. Great place to find parts for your car, “highly recommended”.
These guys are legit!! I came here looking for some part for my genesis coupe and at first I was skeptical but Gerardo helped me out and assure me about the quality of the parts and after I installed them I could say that I wasn’t disappointed, this place is the best when it come to getting what you need especially if your on a budget! I suggest you check them out you won’t regret it.
Jerry was berry Vrofessional and khada very uplifting communication skills aside the social distancing he provided but kept it professional as if there was no virus
This team sold me an awesome BMW 535i Twin Turbo engine at a great price. The quality and condition of the engine was excellent. The price was significantly better than anyone in the USA. I checked many places and no one could have given me a better engine or a better deal. I installed engine and it ran great on first try. Instantly passed smog with great readings. Thank you to Nader, Ivan, and one young guy that I did not catch his name.
To Summarize - BEST IN THE BUSINESS. Gerardo will go above and beyond to make sure his customers are taken care of. I have messaged the business 4 hours after closing and gotten a response. Gerardo does his best to make sure that the parts I want will actually work for me and if I ever have an issue, he will find a way to make it right.I have been buying parts from Gerardo for over 2 years now. Everything from small trim pieces to engine and he has never disappointed. I have referred him to my repair shop who were buying parts elsewhere and now they will only do business with Gerardo.Gerardo and his team go out of their way to find the correct part and are extremely fair with pricing. I have never had to shop around for pricing because I know I am getting the best service in town.German & Korean will always be my first phone call if I or anybody I know need a part for their car.
Gerardo and the team are great! I came in looking for some replacement parts for my BMW and Gerardo was extremely helpful.Very knowledgeable of his inventory, excellent communication and was able to get my parts taken care of quickly and efficiently. Ive recommended a handful of friends to come here and have had similar experiences.Hard to get good customer service these days, but Gerardo delivered!This is my first Google review but these guys were worth it.
The guy really worked w me on parts.The yards in Sunland are getting a little spoiled.I own body shops so Im always looking for a great deal and well today he gave me two doors (2015 Kia Soul ) a hundred dollars cheaper than his competition whom wouldnt budge on their prices so I reckon I found me a new buddy old pal old friend of mine! Heee-Haaaw!!!Well, Ill be.Dagnabbet!
WILL RECOMMEND! Purchased an Audi motor from GERMAN auto, very pleased with the service and quality of the replacement engine. After the installation I took my vehicle to my local Audi dealer for routine maintenance and my service advisor was impressed by the quality of the motor. The guys at GERMAN KOREAN are the best. Ask for Ivan if you prefer to speak Spanish. He will answer all your questions!
This is the most Expensive Place to buy Used Parts, $700 for Used Bumper with Lots of scratches. Bad Costumer Service dont go there...
Bought a Kia Sportage motor, salesman clearly doesn’t care to take care of the problem.. says “it’s out the door it’s not our problem”Motor was broken on the valve cover... they changed the oil pan with poorly gasket cover... $2000 dollar engine. I can’t even believe how this guy talks to customers and how this place is run... I would NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO BUY FROM HERE...RUN AND RUN FAST BEFORE GIVING YOUR MONEY TO THESE CROOKS
Best
I drove from Southern Utah to pick up a motor from them. They helped me with the price because I drove so far and we’re incredibly helpful. Highly recommend this business.
Worst customer service read my yelp review, they have mediocre prices and the worst people working there. A joke of a place beware
Literally the best experience I have ever had. Gerardo was super friendly and helpful. Got me the part I need super fast and the price was the most competitive that I found. All of there parts are quality and are in great condition.I also need a part for my moms car, and the didnt have it. Gerardo let me know that he will get that part for me, and just as he said, a week later he called me and it arrived. Definitely recommend him to anyone!
I bought my Audi and BMW engines from them, both engines were just perfect. My family has been sourcing parts from German Korean for years. Thank you
Bad company, rude employees
This place has great service! I picked up a motor for my Mini Cooper s, and the experience was incredibly hassle free thanks to their amazing employees! Their pricing is great and now my car runs as smooth as ever! I’d like to thank everyone at this establishment for giving me the best experience I’ve had yet! I will be recommending this business to all my friends and family!
Awesome customer service, great prices, and low mile engine. Everything turned out great. Will definitely be back.
BEWARE!!!! Of this Bussiness . YOU WILL REGRET!!! they charge me 30% to return the transmission even it was their mistake sending me the wrong transmission . Also I have to take the transmission of the car again and take to them. Read the clause at the bottom of the receipt
Their owner nader got good character, the people here are easy to talk with and show great enthusiasm towards customers, always ready and on task for their work. i recommend anyone to visit here !
I would recommend to all friends and family. Im a returning customer. German Auto has always been my place to go for replacement parts for any or my cars. I just purchased a BMW 3 series engine from them and the car is running better than ever! Theyre great at what they do! Wouldnt hesitate to buy another.Thanks, Evan Renka
Very good prices and they always have what we need, good customer service as well!
Best experience within the auto industry. Its hard to find a place with great customer service. When my car breaks down Im already dreading the expense, Im expecting to pay a high price for the most basic parts with an extensive amount of mileage, however this wasnt the case. A lot of people recommended German Auto for their cars so I wanted to check it out for myself. My Hyundai sadly broke down on me and Jerry helped me get the right part with low mileage. Just wanted to thank German auto and Jerry for their customer service and quality part.
Great shop and friendly staff, drove to the shop from Covina for some BMW parts and they have a wide range of BMW parts including others, the staff was very attentive and Gerardo was great help with my order and other stuff I was looking for .
I found their company online through eBay, and luckily they were local to me. I was able to stop by and pick up the headlight I needed. They have great service and reasonable prices on a lot of parts. They also followed up with me after to make sure the headlight was working properly!
3rd time is the charm for a review!What can I say, they always seem to have the parts I want without a high cost. Throw in free delivery to my house and you really have no issue other than trying to reach them when the phones are ringing non-stop!I will gladly come back here time and time again to ensure that they keep doing what they do, and enjoy the low-mileage and tough to find parts that would be pulled instantly at a pick-a-part.Thank you Gerardo!
Great service. Gerardo was great to deal with and made everything easy!
Very helpful, And available All days off the week, when I was in a bind they worked with me and have 3 kids refreshments while we waited for our head light part! Im very appreciative of the service and relationship with them! Thanks so much for everything!!
Picked up an alternator for my 2007 BMW. Staff was super helpful and knowledgeable. Great price too.
Im always working on various side projects and am looking for random hard to find parts. Rather than working with multiple vendors, I love that I can call on these guys, every time! Every car! Every part!They ask the right questions to verify the parts and I have never had a problem.
Great prices very good service. After calling other locations they had everything I needed at a great price. Highly recommend will go back to all my BMW parts.
Everyone helps me and is so kind to me. I like when people educate me on my car issues, cause sometimes I have issues that I dont even know exists. I will always come here for any concern for my car! Thanks again guys!
If youre in need of replacement parts, this company is for you. With extremely competitive pricing and unbeatable customer service, you never have to go somewhere else. Gerado makes the process simple and easy. Extremely reliable with excellent communication. Even if I could save hundreds else where, theres no need for me to search for it!
Gerardo is a pretty cool person to deal with.Not an inch of difficulty combined with great deal on the price of a superior quality product.As of this pointe, everything is of positivity and I shall continue to get my BMW goodies from this business onwards and upwards on progressive transactions!A+ Vendor = make them big, Gerardo is a people person! Consumers need quality service like they provide!!!! Brings me back to old days when businesses value their clients. Rare in this generation 😊
Great people at great prices. I drove from Fresno can to LA because of the price n I met the guys working there. They were cool n knew there cars. Its always a risk buying used but the owner said to trust him so I did and he was right I got a great ZF BMW transmission n have had no problems. I fix cars to sale so I will defiantly be going back. Thanks again u guys.
Terrible customer service, I bought engine from them however it overheated because it had leaking head gasket. They didn’t confirm it by saying not properly setting up . Don’t be fooled by them
Great friendly customer service and reasonable prices
These guys really know what theyre doing and cant be beat when it comes to price! Great quality and even better customer service.Definitely going to be sending over my family and friends!
While searching around the world for some harder to find Mercedes models parts I not only managed to find them in my back yard 7 miles away but but for a great price. Gave me and my buddy both an awesome deal so we bought everything together which was really nice.Saves me a lot of searching for individual parts
We came to German auto to purchase some parts for our BMW. The guys were great! I got a killer deal for great quality parts. Would recommend to friends and family!!! Great people.
Trustworthy people. Theyre also really helpful and honest. Ive shopped here at least 6 times and I never had an issue with them. Last time they sold me a radio for my Mercedes and it started giving me problems after the warranty was due but they exchanged it and offered to install it anyways. Excellent people.
Bought an engine for my BMW last month. Car is running like new. Great prices and customer service. Will come back and buy more parts when needed. Thank you.
Nader is top notch. Always fair with pricing and the parts are right every time and great quality. I have at least 10 buying experiences with him. Drew. MJM Engines
Called and the Armenian guy tried to rip me off a thousand more on a quote I got from LKQ Stay away and the engine wasn’t even in tact STAY AWAYYYYY PLEASE ITS A RIP OFF
Customer service and a salvage yard, thats two things that you never hear said together. Gerardo ensures the customers interest comes first. Not only are prices competitive, the selection they have is expansive. The quality of their parts are above most of their competitors as well.If they dont have the part, drop them your information. Theyll go out of their way to help you find what youre looking for as well. This is definitely a business thats ran right and one that cares about repeat customers.Thanks again for everything!
Very good people always trying to help me with whatever I need. Customer service is over the roof. They have never said no to me with any request. I love coming to this place. Its a toys r us for BMW part.
