Dave is simply contemporary, knowledgeable, and aware. He is an astute technician. You will always be treated to a positive resolve to keep your car in first class condition!

Awesome auto repair business. Bonus - scuba shop attached!

TLDR: POOR PRICING, POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, POOR COMMUNICATION, UNWILLING TO DO SIMPLE MECHANIC JOBS.Replacing springs on a VW is not rocket science, it does not take that long and can be done at home with rented tools. This is not true for the gentlemen at Das Autohaus, Can you give me a quote on how much installing 4 springs would be? $1000. How much time would that take? Well get it done. Alrighty then. When asked why the job is $1000 for them they said if I wanted to go somewhere else I should. They couldnt even ballpark how many hours this is when they should have done this dozens of times and know exactly how long each spring takes. When asked if they can MOUNT A TIRE they said, Is it low profile? We cant do that. ITS AN OEM (stock) VW wheel and tire from the dealer that literally anyone can do, its not even a run flat. I went somewhere else OBVIOUSLY, paid a certified VW mechanic a few hundred for the spring install, got the tires mounted and weighted for $100. My advice? Save your time, dont call them and just go somewhere else, literally anywhere else.

Great place with personal care for your vehicle. Five Stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

My wife and I have been taking our car to Dave for the past couple of years now. He is patient and takes time to explain how our car works which we really appreciate. We trust him which is why we keep going back. Definitely recommend Das Autohaus!

The best for auto repair and any questions about foreign cars.. Its like having your own personal mechanic..

Dave is friendly and does a good job

Dave was great! I thought my car was going through a rough patch and I might be stuck in Lawrence, but he helped me out and pulled codes and tested my car completely free of charge. Seemed super knowledgeable. Bring your VW’s and Audi’s here!! It’s better than subjecting it to other auto shops that do not know how to service these cars really.

A great auto shop, super knowledgeable and friendly. Dave is the best.

Quoted me $6000 for a new engine. Charged me the diagnostic fee without even looking at the car. I could have told him the timing chain broke. Former ASE tech in college just didn’t have time to do it myself. Called a place in KC, had it towed there, and they fixed it for $1500. As they say, crooked as the day is long. If I could give him negative stars I would.

I originally went here because Id been at my official dealer trying to fix a check engine light for a week with no solutions. Went here and Dave figured it out within the day. Will definitely keep coming back. Easy to reach, answers all my questions about how things work, and reasonable costs. Also, just make having car troubles less stressful!Update: Almost 5 years later and Dave is still super helpful, and actually explains what is going on with the car. Straightforward, takes time to answer too many questions, and reliable. Thanks!

Friendly establishment. Knowledgeable. Definitely over priced. Look to purchase your own parts online. $900 job should have cost $300-400 with labor included. Do research before you agree for service. I think his customer loyalty allows him to raise prices. Wont take my car again.

We have gone to Das Autohaus for over 15 years for services, and we have bought several cars there as well. The owner, Dave Bach, is fantastic! Repairs are prompt, often the same day. Charges are reasonable and are usually close to the estimate. If there are any issues afterwards Dave will quickly address them. Dave Bach is a master mechanic and an honest person. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Have gone to them twice and have received the best service ever form any shop! They know what theyre doing and the prices are amazing for the work they provide! Will go back there every time!

Dave is the best

Thieves. I called around and got 3 quotes on a simple brake rotor replacement. I called Das Autohaus and was told they needed to see it to quote it. I dropped the car off with the brake rotors. They called me back later to tell me my car was done and charged me 3 times what the highest quote was. I never even authorized the repair! Thieves. Do not do business with them...

Dont go here.Went to get my car looked at because my check engine light was on and while Dave was friendly and nice, he slowly upped the price throughout the process. In the beginning he gave me an estimate of 200-300. While he was working on it became 400. At the end it was 500. When I asked for clarification he vaguely said it was because of the price of the parts, which were just spark plugs. Turns out, after consulting other car repair shops, the price should have been around 250. And now the check engine light is back on, so apparently he didnt even fix the problem. Will be taking my business somewhere else.

I cant say enough good things about my experience with Das Autohaus. It is my second time taking in a vehicle and am always impressed with their efficiency, friendliness and most important...HONESTY. I took in my very old VW today for an oil change and to have a weird noise checked out. After an evaluation, they were extremely honest and helped me weigh the pros and cons of doing the necessary repairs. They even waited to do the oil change, to see if I wanted to put the money into the car after seeing the extensive repairs it needed. This NEVER happens at the dealership! They would have done the oil change and possibly a few other things and stuck me with a huge bill. This type of honesty in the car repair business is INVALUABLE. I will continue to take my vehicles to them and recommend their services to friends and family.

This place was great! I got a flat tire on my new-to-me VW and didnt have the tool to unscrew the anti-theft wheel bolts. Dave fixed my flat quickly, gave his advice on what I should do moving forward, and only charged me $15. A few weeks later I had a bunch of warning lights come on. He checked for all the possible issues, got the warning lights turned off, told me why it happened, and HE CHARGED ME NOTHING. So after getting at least two hours of labor and the peace of mind of knowing my car is okay the total cost was $15. Dave is my kind of guy. He is a no nonsense kind of guy who will not waste your time or money on anything unnecessary. If you want a super-fake overly-nice mechanic who will ask all about your family but may or may not be robbing you blind, Dave is not your guy. If you like a quick, efficient, and fair mechanic, Dave is your man.

Took my car in right away. The only problem is he charged me almost $800 for a new starter and labor. Im not from the area originally called my guy back home he told me that price is way more than it should have been. The price for parts was $200 more than what is listed online

Always helpful and willing to go the extra mile...has kept my 74 bus running for the past 15 years!

Dave is the best guy ever. As a single female with not a lot of car experience and on a limited, fixed budget, Dave gives it to me straight. He tells me when something has to be done and when something can wait. Ive called him from 2,000 miles away while on a road trip when an engine light came on and he helped me avoid a costly repair by an unfamiliar dealership. Dave is THE BEST!

Dave has always been helpful, but recently he did a quick repair when my need for my vehicle was critical. Super customer service.

Dave really helps with cars others dont want to touch. His love and knowledge for VW is unmatched.

Very friendly, quick response, great service, didn’t try to sell services I didn’t need. I’ll definitely go back.

Dave and crew at Das Autohaus have once again given me the best service EVER!!! I will continue to take my VW to Das Autohaus for any and every repair because they always take care of the problem quickly and thoroughly and with smiles and friendly service as well. Theyre just good, trustworthy folks at Das Autohaus so if you drive a VW or European car, take your car to Dave and his awesome mechanics!!! Theyll take good care of you and your car!!!

Superstar mechanic/owner! His knowledge of Volkswagens turned my horrible day of thinking my TIGUAN was doomed, by the opinion of “others”...to the tune of oh happy day. He saved me much money and I’ll never let another service it. Thanks!

Take your car to someone who knows what hes doing.

Das Autohaus keeps my aging VW Cabrio Convertible in the aging well and gracefully category! Theybe been caring for her since 2004 and she keeps on ticking! I never give 5 stars for any review, so this is top-notch!

I was charged $1300 for a coil pack, battery, and some bolts. Then tried to give him another chance and he got snooty on the phone with me. I will never go there again. Btw thanks for taking advatage of me while I was over seas.

Tl;dr Paid $166 for a tune up and was given the car back without any coolant in it. I called Dave and asked if that sounded right to him and he said I only paid for an oil change and compression test... So either way youre paying $166 for an oil change and engine check or youre paying $166 for a tune up and the mechanic forgets to put coolant in it.-----Bought a Vanagon and brought it to Dave for a general inspection and tune-up. Dave said he found everything wrong with the van during his courtesy inspection and the transmission and engine needed to be rebuilt. I asked Dave to give the car a tune up and Ill decide later what to do about the major repairs.Dave calls me a little later and tells me the car isnt even worth tuning up because the engine compression is too low, says hell top off the fluids and change the oil.I come to pick the car up a couple days later and he charges me $166 for a tune up. I drive the car off and the temperature gage comes on. I stop the car and check the coolant reservoir and it was completely empty. I call Dave to ask what happened, expecting a refund, and he was full of excuses and kept telling me the van wasnt even worth it to work on.Wouldnt recommend this mechanic to anyone. Not trustworthy nor competent.

After reading a couple of the reviews here, I was a little skeptical going in to Das. A friend (whom I bought my Golf from) swore by Dave and his team though, so I went on in. I am very pleased with the service, both to my car and to myself as a customer. Dave made me feel like Id been coming there for some time, not like a new customer. He knows his business, is very concise when telling and showing you whats wrong, and is extremely fair on price. He quoted me a price for a door repair, and when it needed something we had to order instead of the kit wed hoped would fix it, he did not charge me for the time they spent taking it apart and putting it back together.Another reviewer stated he was charged simply for shop time, but Id say there must be more to that, because I wasnt charged for diagnosing my problem(s), only for the actual repairs themselves.In my opinion going to Das is equivalent to going to a dealer, without the insane price markups. Dave even went so far as to research multiple places online to get my part at the lowest possible price, not just sticking with a buddy supplier.This shop reminds me of how places used to do business...they care about the vehicles they work on and want them in the best shape, while always keeping the customers best interests and abilities in mind. Thanks Dave and team!

Great customer service, very patient, and knowledgeable. Excelent, friendly, affordable.

Good and super service.. And its true they are really good at Volkswagen service..

Simply the best place to get a VW worked on. Always busy.

Do not take your car here! Like others have said, Dave is rude and short! My AC went out 3 months ago and I brought it here. I was charged over $300 for parts and labor and the switch went out again this week. I was out of town so I took it to a different shop and they said that it wasnt a VW switch on my car and that it must have been one that Dave had laying around the shop. It had shorted out. I got a new VW switch and was charged $200 including labor. Ive asked around Lawrence and a few places have said that they used to recommend Das Autohaus, but dont any more because of so many complaints. Now I know why.

Fast and honest. Theyll service any car but a must for German auto owners.

Good VW shop

Dave is the best.

Very rude people

They are extremely expensive....and Dave is a little short and rude...perhaps its time he retires.

Terrible
