I have had my BMW serviced at Auto Engineering for many years. No other shop touches it. The specialists, and they are specialists, are first rate. The service is thorough, efficient, noteworthy and always right on target. Things are explained and there is always a mutual discussion to help ensure that the right decision is made. I am fortunate to have Auto Engineering expertise available to me.
Been going here for years. Im very picky about who services my car. Theyve proven to be the only shop I can rely on to handle tough work, well. The ***quality of the service*** is always top notch. If you want a shop you can rely on, and trust, this is it!
Brandon listens to what I ask him to do with/to my car. We then have a detailed discussion about pertinent details (pros/cons, possible problems, ways it could be better, etc...). Once we agree on a course of action, he sets to work and does a thorough job.If anything requires a deviation from our plan, he takes the time to explain in as much detail as I need, what the situation is. We then have another discussion to determine the best path forward.Every time, Ive left Auto Engineering (Brandons care), Ive felt that I was listened to, that the work was expertly performed and that my car is better than it was when I arrived.I cant say that for some other highly rated shops who SHOULD have done a workmanlike job w/o me having to go back a second time and ask for a do over...a correction to work done poorly in the first place.If you ask me, thats the primary reason to have your Porsche work done by Brandon at Auto Engineering. When you go there, youll know you wont have to return to have the work corrected because itll be done properly the first time. Thank you, Brandon!
They performed a four wheel alignment with kinematic toe adjustment on my 95 993 after I did a suspension install. What a difference they made. She tracks nice and straight, the steering wheel is completely on center, and she feels like a new car. Awesome car loaner program also. I was able to run some errands while the work was being done.
Shaun was personable, communicate and fair. They serviced my Porsche Boxster even though I partially disassembled. Very pleased.
If you don’t take your car here then you’re taking it to the wrong place! Rick and his entire team are dedicated to servicing cars with efficiency and professionalism without breaking the bank. I’ve saved thousands from just their diagnostic work.
Auto Engineering is the only shop that’s ever touched my Audi S4 in my three years of ownership. I’ve owned other cars and tried other shops, never have I dealt with a shop this reliable and trustworthy. Prices are very fair. Loaner cars are a huge plus too.Rick, Shaun, Dylan and the rest of the guys are a solid crew. Auto Engineering is the spot for all your German car needs.
I bring all my german cars here, classic and modern. Team here is reliable and knowledgeable all around.
Excellent spot for all your BMW, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes, VW, and other euro car brand needs. The staff here is super friendly and they do excellent quality work. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable about the cars they work on, they actually care too! All the staff here are true car enthusiasts and that is reflected by the other non maintenance and repair services they offer such as apr tunes and other performance upgrades. I’ve had nothing but great experiences here and I highly recommended this place!
Rick and the guys are over here are great. Brought in my A4 for a rotor and break replacement and installation of wheels and the car drives great. For my shop for life.
If you own a high end German automobile and are looking for a place that knows the ins and outs of these magnificent machines, look no further. Rick and the team at automotive engineering have been great at not only providing a wealth of knowledge when it comes to these cars but have also been very easy to communicate with, kept me informed of the progress and even helped out when I had 1000 questions.The shop is clean, they use only the best parts and I highly recommend giving them a call if youre ever in need of special attention to your special car.
Very good customer service. Polite, friendly an helpful
Had a APR stage one tune, intake, and new clutch done on my VW GTI MK7. These guys are incredible. Customer service was exceptional, they went out of their way to answer questions, and help me understand how my car works/ what it needs/ what it doesnt need. They did the absolute most - above and beyond. Clearly cared about helping me rather than lining their pockets - which can be rare in the car industry. Cant imagine going anywhere else in the future. Honestly have never left a review anywhere before, but felt I needed to for Auto Engineering. They really made me feel confident and happy about the money I spent - worth every penny.
Auto Engineering is the number one automotive shop hands down. I own an e46 M3 and theyve done my rod bearings, VANOS bulletproofing, control arms, drive shaft after another shop COMPLETELY messed up the center support bearing replacement, the list continues. Done right the first time, no questions asked. Ask for Emil Rhodin, hes their BMW Master Tech there and has been in the business for over a decade. The guys over there are great dudes that really know their ins and outs of Audis, Porsches, Volkswagens and of course BMWs. I love just chatting cars with them as well, theyre all enthusiasts, which to me is also really important to consider theyre treating my car like their own. So many shops Ive gone to before treat my car like it is: not theirs. And I cant stand that. These guys treat my car like I would and that goes a LONG way with me. I cant recommend them enough. 😃👍
Great place to get work done on German cars. I feel like they understand that just because I own a Porsche doesnt mean that Ive got money. A little disappointed over a misunderstanding about a replacement key but overall it is really a great place with good people.
Highly recommend this facility for amazing service and performance upgrades.
I’ve used them for 20+ years for my bmws. Superb service. Very knowledgeable and professional. I recommend them if you care about preserving or enhancing your European driving machine.
Solid guys here, experienced and reasonable.
Very professional shop with excellent customer service and extremely knowledgeable staff! Ill be using them for all of my Audis needs moving forward!
Love this place and have been going for years. The prices cannot be beat and the service is top notch. Highly recommend.
Auto Engineering, and the staff is just top notch. If you own a German automobile and are particular with it in stock form or getting the most performance you possibly can, this IS the place for you! I have been going here with various cars for well over a decade and I am soo still to this day impressed with the service, quality and professionalism of this shop! The tone is set from the top down and Rick Cagnina is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and treats every vehicle as if it were his own! He has been great to pick his brain on ideas, problems and the struggling Boston Celtics at times.. Ok he definitely can not fix that lol per say, but he has spent hours after work answering concerns as well as attending to various customer concerns even if it is just a check engine light and he does not rest until he finds the answer. It is that kind of service that we all expect and desire and that all comes natural to him as he has a real love for what he does! As expected all his staff exhibits that same outlook, as it was not by chance but by quality in which they all work here! Can not say enough about all of them, they are not just techs, they are trusted friends for a long time! Do yourself a favor and see for yourself, you will not regret it!
Safe and accommodating for dropping off vehicle to be serviced.Knowledgeable and takes great care to listen to the customer about their needs
I have taken three Audis toAuto Engineering. They are excellent!
What a great shop! Super clean and professional. Took my e39 M5 for an alignment, now it drives laser straight. Other places couldnt get it right. Thank you so much. Will be back. Highly recommended!
Absolutely great shop, I would highly recommend. Great people to work with and really great quality. Thank you guys!
Recently had work done on my RS4; carbon clean, injectors, exhaust, mounts, etc. Could not be more impressed with the level of service, communication and ultimately the end result. Car is amazing! Performs like the beast it is and sounds great! Thank you to Shaun, Brandon and Rick for a job well done. Highly recommend Auto Engineering.
I’m not gonna go to bmw dealerships or any other mechanics.(Auto engineering) What a wonderful team. All of them friendly and professional. Great customer service. Emil shout out to you man, thank you for take good care of my car by doing the full front breaks.Definitely will come back again for maintaining my car or just come and say hi😁.
Great experience with Shaun and Dylan; kept me updated every step of the way on my RS6 and came in right on budget. Very friendly and all car enthusiasts too! Very impressed.
Once again, Auto Engineering has exceeded my wildest expectations and have solidified themselves as the premiere establishment to bring your vehicle to when, like me, you want nothing but the best. The best results, the best service, and the best experience ! If you fawn over you vehicle as I do, and want to eliminate the guess work, the uncertainty, and the high repair bills, then give Shaun and the gang a call for you next auto service need. You too will become a lifetime advocate and start enjoying your revitalized car again.
We used to come here all the time to get our Audi serviced....then it changed owners. We came back with our BMW convertible for a service and all of a sudden the brakes that were less than an year old needed to be replaced. We took the car and went to another repair shop and guess what? Brakes DID NOT need to be replaced. We ended up paying ⅓ of the quote by Auto Engineering. Sadly we will never go back.
Great shop with super knowledgable and professional team. If you own an Audi this is your shop which by the way is so clean that you could eat a meal off the floor.
Rick and team are the best of the best. I used to go to the dealership but got tired of paying more money for subpar work. The crew is very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. They are deeply embedded in the German car community and I highly recommend them. Im an extremely picky Audi owner and will not take my car anywhere else.
This was my first time here on 4/11/2019. Super clean shop and waiting area. I came here all the way from Portsmouth, NH for an alignment after installing air ride on my 09 335xi. I was in and out pretty quick and the new alignment specs are PERFECT! I was extremely satisfied with the results and would recommend this shop to others. I would definitely come back in the future!
These guys are ROCK STARS. Simply the best in customer service, care and supreme knowledge of the cars they service. I have been a customer for over 11 years. I send all my friends and family.
They are very family friendly and helpful. I dont feel like I get taken advantage of with my lack of knowledge of cars.
Brought my x5 to them which I thought was toast and they had it up and running excellent by the end of the day. Better customer service from them than at the BMW dealership. Very pleased with the way everything turned out. Highly recommend.
Very respectful and good customer service.
Id thought it impossible to find a shop that offered the knowledge of an Audi dealership but pricing that didnt make trading in for a new model more attractive a prospect. The guys kept me updated throughout the process, and were patient with me as I fumbled through explaining what Id been told by other shops/Internet forums. Received my car back yesterday after replacing several components of the suspension. I can honestly say in the 40,000 miles Ive driven the car; I didnt know it could ride this smooth.
Rick and his team did a great job.
Highly trained technicians. First class service. Very reasonable prices. I wouldn’t take my vehicles anywhere else.
What a great sense of community! I was stuck in need of a timely jump-start of my car; without hesitation Sean swung by in his car and helped me get it started. Roadside assistance is not something they do normally, but he sensed the urgency and helped out asking nothing in return. If this is the type thoughtfulness and caring they provide to total strangers, I am sure they provide fantastic service to their customers. Thank You!!!
Highly recommended for automotive service and aftermarket needs!
If you own a performance Audi, or any German vehicle for that matter, Just go here. You will not be disappointed. Any negative review on here is either from previous ownership or previous technicians. The new owner of this shop is an absolute enthusiast and doesnt see these cars as money makers. He wants his customers to be 100% satisfied and is willing to answer any questions you may have. This place is the real deal and there is a reason why people will drive hours to get their car serviced here. Simple as that.Do not go to a dealership. There is no passion and it costs far more. If you want to be in an environment where the techs eat sleep and breath German engineering, AE is your place.
Thanks for the help Rick
My cars issues were pretty minor, but the tech was so amiable and attentive that it still felt like top-notch customer service. Would highly recommend this auto garage!
Professional and courteous staff. Never a question on their quality. Definitely get what you pay for.
Thank you everyone at AE! I am so so happy and finally at ease with the thought of servicing my2008 Porsche 911 Targa 4S locally. You save me so much, not just material money but the peace of mind that I’m being treated properly and my vehicle is getting the best care and service. You treat my Porsche as if it were your own, I really love that. Keep up the great work! 🙌
Excellent shop. Wouldnt hesitate for a moment to take any of my BMWs or Porsches here. Excellent staff with deep knowledge of their craft and the machines they curate.
Great customer services. Great advices and good prices. Never a bad surprise in 5 years, only good one. Highly recommended
Excellent experience! Will definitely continue to service my BMW here. Service is seamless, got a free loaner which was actually a really nice VW. They diagnosed my car quickly, the prices parts and labor were very reasonable too! Wish I had known about Auto Engineering years ago.
Got me in same day (within an hour!) for a tune. Even gave good free advice when I noted I was going to do my own brake job this weekend. Didnt try to upsell me on doing the work there. Also heard them tell another customer not to spend money on fixing a minor oil leak as it hadnt gotten worse since the last visit.All around thumbs up. Will definitely bring my car back for future work. Oh, and the two r8s and the built 337 GTI in the waiting room didnt hurt either!
I truly enjoy the driving experience in my 2007 Audi S4 Avant. It has been regularly maintained, improved and modified over the last 4+ years by Rick and Sean at Auto Engineering in Lexington, MA. A great car has evolved to be even better thanks to them. They are the gold standard in German car care and customer service.
Brought my 2012 VW EOS in for 70K service. Very professional group, organized, friendly and service completed as quoted. Reasonable pricing as well. Called them a week later as I picked up a piece of steel in my tire. They said bring it right in - they swapped out the spare, ordered the tire and replaced in in two days. I worked with Emil - he did a fabulous job on both. Nice to have a group that is professional, friendly, does great work that I can trust! Thanks guys!
Brought my brand new BMW in for some fine tuning which was unavailable at the dealership. Found every aspect of doing business with these people to be excellent. Made an appointment which they kept and took me in on time; found the waiting area to be clean and comfortable and was able to meet my service tech (Nelson) in person who answered all of my questions. Price was on par with anywhere else I may have gone, too. Highly recommend this company for service!
Rick and the group are top notch. I have numerous choices to bring my car that are closer including dealers. I choose to drive and hour to have Rick work on my car even for just oil changes. Why? Because he treats my car like it is his own and his knowledge is far beyond any other tech I have worked with. He goes above and beyond. The few times I took my car to the dealer for warranty work he looked it over and found mistakes made by the dealer.
These guys really know their BMWs. They provide great service, they are total experts in what they do and I trust them completely. Wont be going anywhere else for service on my car!
Great group of honest pros. Great experience with real car guysLook forward to seeing the gang at Larz
Excellent advice and service.
I have my 911 serviced here. Very professional. Excellent work. Flexible drop off and pickup. They keep my Porsche tip top.
I went here with my car break issue and I was served very well. The mechanics are very much knowledgeable in the field. Recommended!
If you own a german car, this is the place to take it. Rick and his techs will take great care of your car as they have mine. The previous owner of my car brought it to them for 17 years and I am continuing that legacy. I own a 2001 Audi S4 and anyone familiar with them knows how many problems they can have. My car has 170k miles and has only shown the normal signs of wear. It is safe to say that AE is consistent, timely and very helpful when it comes to taking care of your german cars. Rick and his staff are also very knowledgeable which I greatly appreciate :)
Rick Cagnina provided me with the best customer service experience that I have every had when getting my auto serviced. The service manager was honest, repairs were done well and loaner car was much appreciated. Watch out for the new wall!! Thanks AE Auto, you guys rock!
Had my 2016 GTI serviced here at 10,000 miles. Excellent work in a timely manner. Very knowledgeable guys and will bring the car back here for any future work needed.
I needed a top radiator hose for my M3 and no one had it. Not even BMW. I called these guys and had it in 90 mins. Thank you!!!
Great service so far, ok prices, loaners available too
These guys know their stuff with BMWs. Good at explaining issues. I cant speak for the other brands (Audi & Mercedes) because I dont own one.
Good place to go for all around service for your car. The guys are professionals in their field!
Great place to get your car worked on. Highly recommend.
Great service without the Boston price
Always professional, expert automotive repair and very nice people. I cant take my car any where else.
I trust my car eith them only. They are the best .
Performed a standard scheduled maintenance for me and pointed out a major, under-warranty oil leak lurking in my Macan. I just took it back to the Porsche dealer and got a weeks worth of work done, under warranty, at no cost. Thanks for the heads up! Ill be back to Auto Engineering...
White glove service from the very highest trained mechanics. Outstanding
A+
Top notch great guys
We brought our Mini Cooper here to be repaired in the spring of 2015. There was something wrong with the brakes. They did not repair the problem after charging us a whole lot for it and we repeatedly went in and kept telling them it wasnt fixed.Then, we moved to NY State and continued to have problems. A repair shop here said that the brake (that Auto Engineering had supposedly fixed) was completely rusted through. No wonder we kept having issues with it! (No chance of it rusting through from May - the fall of 2015.)Dont go here. From our experience, it was an expensive way for us NOT to have our car repaired.
Good work, very easy to get fixes done
You get what you pay for. It is a bit more but you get quality service and attention.
Professional, courteous and above all, 40% cheaper than BMW dealership
Ive been getting my car serviced by Auto Engineering for a long time and will continue as long as I have a car.
They have been servicing my car for 10 years. I like that I can talk directly with the service technician that works on my car.
I went in with brake issue/question, it took me couple weeks to figure out what I was told was 100% wrong
