Amazing experience. My Cayenne S had a squeaky noise, they took good care of it by replacing the oil separator.Definitely recommend them for Porsches.

Super experience with them and I will use them exclusively for all my repairs. I felt they were extremely honest, knew how to work on my Porsche, gave me a very reasonable price and did all the necessary work. PLUS fixed a few small things which needed attention. I highly recommend them.

Had my Audi serviced here. Miscommunication on my part had them replace some filters that I replaced myself a few weeks earlier. They scheduled me back same day, reimbursed the filter costs, and added a complimentary service. Very satisfied with their customer service and timeliness. Highly recommend them.

I chose this business to service my 2012 BMW 535i based on reviews and was very impressed. They are professional, fast, and not interested in getting over on customers. The dealership was trying to get over on me claiming I needed a 7k repair but when i researched my car didnt have the issues associated with the repair. I highly recommend them and will continue to.

My 2015 Audi Q3 has almost 90K miles and needed carbon intake cleaning. I searched and called a few places to get an estimate and after reading the great reviews, I decided to go with Berk and his team at German Car Specialists. All I can say is this, if you have an Audi, this is the go to shop for service and repairs. Berk and his team are professionals in every way, from customer service to doing the a great job on the car and doing it in a timely manner. My Q3 runs smooth and like new again. Glad I found them because now I have peace of mind when I need service or repairs on my Audis.

Was a great experience.. I have an 08 jetta that one day just dogged out on me ... Berk over there help me out greatly with getting my problem resovled as quickly as Corona would allow..... and to make matters even funner.. on my way home my car ended having another issue completely separate from the first and I made it home.. but the car was unable to make the return trip ..... so Berk went as far as getting my car towed back over to his shop and got me up and running the following day..... my car has been running like a champ ever sense .... totally would recommend this shop to any European car owners...

Berk and company have been providing me excellent service on my 2004 996 for the past 4 years. Always top-notch and efficient turn around. I highly recommend their shop for Porsche service!

Ive been going here for 3yrs and recently decided to no longer go here to get my car serviced. Due to the owner being rude the majority of the time I have to bring my vehicle in to get serviced. I have been going here because there are not to many shops in San Antonio that service Audi. Dont get me wrong the work is good, but I refuse to spend my money and time at a place where the owner is constantly rude after I have been a faithful customer for 3yrs.

Professional Porsche car service provided here !!. We have 3 Porsches, ... a 911, a Macan, and a Panamera.Berk (experienced & highly trained) is our go to mechanic for service and repair support now and onward. We get timely service and communication re: status of repair and future needs. Goal - keep the cars operating in top form for the long haul. Berk is affordable and a competent adviser to the dealer for post warranty services and repairs on Porsche.

Excellent customer service and most importantly HONESTY. All work was carried out to a high standard and the price for services were less than the dealers quote! These guys know their stuff-and do it well. I would have no hesitation in recommending  German Car Specialists to any Audi owner.

I contacted German Car Specialists to have my catback exhaust system replaced. Berk was very accommodating and gave me an estimate that was very reasonable. He even went the extra mile when I asked him to take a couple of before and after photos. Work was done quickly and professionally. I will definitely be coming back for any of my German car needs in the future!

Review №14

The service was quick and staff was beyond helpful. I ran into an issue and Berk was quick to resolve. The pricing for the work is was half the cost of competitors and the turn around time was less than a day. I’m very happy with this service and will return for future work on my BMW. Definitely worthy of a review.

Ive taken my car ( 2014 A4 ) twice to German Car Specialist recently. Its a very clean shop and youll quickly discover they know what they are doing! Ive gotten my car back quickly for scheduled appointments and they handle extended warranty claims! Support a local shop and stay away from the dealer when possible.

Review №17

This place is awesome. Ive had a few issues with my 535i and havent had anyone give a breakdown and tell me a game plan that was as accurate as this place. I recently took my car to the local BMW to have them look at it and German car specialist did a much better job on finding the issue in a short period of time. And the price is much cheaper than the dealership. They were very courteous, professional, and confident in their ability to fix my issue. This will be the only shop I take my BMW to from here on out.

German Car Specialists is simply the best in San Antonio at fixing Audis at a fair price. They are always very quick at diagnosing then fixing the car. Also, you cant beat the price either. They are the best value service provider in town... and Ive been to quite a few. So, look no further, because once youve used German Car Specialists, you will look no further.

I was purchasing a 996 and was meeting the seller in San Antonio. I researched 3 separate shops in the area and got quotes on the specific services I needed following the purchase, including the IMS retrofit. This was by far the most fair priced and transparent quote I received since every detail was itemized. They also accommodated my scheduling. Everything went smooth and the car runs like a top. I am very pleased with their work and professionalism. I recommend them to everyone in the area.

I had booked a time to drop off my golf R with these guys and they did a terrific job. They were professional and kept me in the loop as we discussed moving forward with ongoing maintenance and new problems the arose from them looking at it. I felt like I got what I paid for, not more expensive than going to any other garage for work. Overall, Im very happy with the work and continue to have them looking at my car to keep her running smooth till death. Thanks GCS!

Just brought my car someplace else wont name the other shop but I think they just tried to get a golden egg out of me.. anyway what they wanted to charge me 2k for Burk at German Car Specialists is charging 1k.... Its hard to find a guy you can trust but I have found it here!! He doesnt like working on my Mercedes which is the only reason i even tried going elsewhere. But he always makes an excepting when he hears how other shops are trying to take advantage of people.. Thanks Burk

Ive taken my 2001 BMW Z3 to German Car Specialists four times over the past few months. Berk has been nothing but great to work with. Theyve done just about everything that Ive asked from valve cover gaskets, VANOS replacements, to aftermarket installs.The work theyve done is great and is done very quickly.I wont be taking my Z3 (or any future European car) anywhere else.

This place beat my Audi dealership and the 5 other places I called asking for the same work. Beat Audi by $1,100 and beat the rest by a few hundred. Not only that but I added an oil change, and it was still hundreds of dollars less than the competition! I dropped off my car at 10 am and got it back by 2 pm the same day! Definitely going again!

My air oil separator was failing. The dealership gave me an estimate that I did not think was reasonable and so I looked for an alternative. I found German Car Specialists to be highly rated and seemed to have a bit of experience in repairs of my particular make. They ended up completing repairs quickly & competently for half of the dealership quote. Ill be back.

This is the second time I’ve been to this place and it’s service and price is the best in San Antonio. I had my car towed there at night with no scheduled appointment and they were more than willing to begin to fix my car in such a short moments notice. I’m pleased with the work they do and recommend it to all Who need to repair their German vehicle. Now my Z4 runs better than ever. Thanks

Driving up was an easy access from hwy. The inside of German Car Specialists was quite clean and people extremely courteous.However, the car wells were exemplified with mechanics purpose and customer satisfaction intended. Non-smoking repair persons were readily available to meet me.The cost of my light bulb replacement was far under the dealership pricing and very competitive with others in the area.My service stood out for cost effective, time involved is fast and waiting was a very pleasant experience.Berk and his superior staff are highly recommended.

Review №42

I have been going to German Car Specialists for two years. Berk runs a professional, courteous and superb operation. He is honest and direct, and I dont believe he has ever done anything that wasnt necessary as for as a repair. I fully trust him with my Porsche.Truthfully, if you own a German Car, I cant imagine why someone would take it anywhere else. I have been to other German car repair shops throughout San Antonio, and by far, this place is the best. You can definitely trust them to do great quality and fix exactly what needs to be fixed. And VERY REASONABLE on prices of repairs.Of course, I will definitely be coming back. If it wasnt for this place, I probably would not own a Porsche. With this shop, I have found it is less expensive to maintain my Porsche than it is to maintain my Ford F150 and Chevy Tahoe, and all three exceed 100,000 miles. This place makes me want to own nothing but German vehicles. If Porsche made a truck, I would buy it immediately and sell my F150 overnight because of this shop.There is absolutely no reason to go to anywhere else other than this German Car Repair Shop.

I Wanted to thank The team at German Car Specialist for taking in my Girlfriends Car and being so efficient and quick about getting us taken care of. We had minimal downtime and the staff is very informative and experienced.I will always recommend these champs over the main dealership. I myself worked several years at high end dealers and this place will save you money and you will get the same quality of work. Thanks again team, Erik Ramon

From the moment I arrived everyone at the facility was helpful and courteous. Went in initially for an oil change, after I was blown away by the customer service and helpful advice from Berk I decided to schedule other services. Berk and all of the technicians there are great. They will be honest and work to find solutions to your vehicles issues. Also, the fact that they identified issues I was having with my Audi A4 that I did not even address with them was amazing. Berk told me what was needed and how they would go about fixing it. Not only do you get high quality work they dont charge what you would expect from the dealership. Thank you Berk and all of your staff for your help! It is refreshing to find a quality and honest mechanic at an affordable price! I will only have my Audi serviced at DBC Tuning.

Review №51

Professional, Courteous and Knowledgeable. Wonderful first time experience. We just bought our second Audi and it needed a little attention. So I called DBC after reading about them on an Audi forum. I also have a friend who recommended them. When I called, I spoke Berk and I explained what was going on and he told me what it might be. I agreed and made the appointment. When I took it in, I met Mark at the desk, who made sure we were all set and said they would call us once they had a look. Berk called me later on and let me know. Upon picking it up Berk even noted that we werent charged for some of the labor due to a small mix up by the mechanic--Class Act! After my wife left with her car Berk took time to talk about my Audi and the things I wanted to do. I set up another appointment right then and there. So DBC already has a returning customer in me. :) Thank you again to Berk, Mark and the whole team. Youll always have our business. -Drew & Vanessa.

Awesome! These Guys Rock. I have always taken my car to the dealer to get work done but after getting my passenger side light bulb changed in my 2010 Audi A5 with German Car Specialist, I will going to them for all my maintenance.The owner took the time to show me the what was wrong with my headlights, showed me which part I needed and offered to give me the bad bulb. The technician did an awesome job with the installation and performed the job super quick. I highly recommend going here vs the dealer.They also gave me a military discount.

Ill never go to the dealer again. Berk and company are honest and fair. They charged me about half what the dealership wanted for my repairs and they were straight-forward about everything. I own a VW and and Audi and they have done repairs on both. Always well done and timely. German Car Specialists will be my mechanic as long as I own these cars. Thanks Berk.

Never take your BMW to anyone but German Car Specialists. Burk & his staff are by far the best ever! First time I took my car he saved me over $1k. He has come to my rescue at least twice since with fast & very affordable repairs. They always go above & beyond checking my car thoroughly not only for my concerns, but anything else it might need. NOT to make an extra buck, but because it’s the right thing to do!!! If you own a BMW taking it to German Car Specialists’s will extend its life by thousands of miles without breaking the bank.

Let me say after living in Germany for 12 years I have had no luck in finding outstanding mechanics at a reasonable price till I went to Berk and his mechanics at German Car Specialist. Berk serviced both our Porsche 911 and Cayenne quickly, professionally and at a very reasonable price. I can not emphasize strongly enough that if you are looking to have your Porsche serviced then you have found your place with the gang at German Car Specialist.

Review №59

I have a 2010 Audi B8 S5 MT. Berk, Mark and crew have my car running better than when it was new. Currently, DBC has performed a thorough Carbon cleaning of my manifold and all valves, lowered the car with new springs, spaced the wheels so that the car looks correct when sitting and rolling, complete alignment, went through the car and replaced worn parts as needed, installed my AWE touring exhaust and now have mapped out Phase II for my car. What do I like about these guys other than they are German mad scientists? They are honest and thorough. If something does not need to be fixed, they dont create a problem where one does not exist. Nothing is cheap about owning a German car. We are buying precision engineering and such a machine requires precision tuning and mechanics. These guys have it all. German precision with Texas honesty and hospitality.

Every time I have taken my car here I have not had a single problem. They always get it done quick and help me out above and beyond. I needed a last minute total AC replacement under extended warranty and not only did they do it the same day, they did all the dealing with the extended warranty company. All I had to do was drop off the car and then pick it up. My questions are always answered quickly and correctly and you cant beat the prices for the work done. I have and will definitely recommend this shop to anyone!!

Berk,Now that I have some miles on the car and no more leaks thanks to you and your staff, I wanted to send an email to express my gratitude. From the moment I first contacted you back in May with my dilemma of the dreaded coolant pipes I had the sense that you and your staff would more than take care of me. You guys communicated with me extremely well, and dealt with my neurosis and numerous phone calls better than i could have ever expected. The quality of work performed, the price of it, and how great my car ran afterwords was incredible. Then the small leak happened, and I was surely convinced that another extremely expensive problem was happening and I was about to pull the plug on the car and move on. Not only did you guys get me up and running, but there was no charge to me at all. Berk, I cannot put into words how grateful I am for that small gesture. I have been modifying cars in one way or another for over 20 years and have never run across a shop as professional and accommodating as yours. Rest assured all my 996 needs will definitely be handled with you guys. Thanks again for everything and please let all the guys know I truly appreciate their help and hard work.Very Respectfully,James OHara

Fantastic experience at German Car Specialists. I had visited Berk when the shop had another name for a performance part install and they were phenomenal then.

Review №65

I own a fully loaded 2013 Audi S5 that has had a ton of work done by DBC. I first took my Audi to DBC based on a simple Internet search looking for APR dealers, DBC came up, I called the shop to find out how much it would be to order and install a full AWE exhaust and also install a Stage 1 APR tune. I called the shop and got a hold of the manager named Berk. At first contact one might be instantly turned off by his short concise to the point demeanor which kind of feels as if he is in a hurry and hurrying you. I got through this quick discussion and still decided to take a chance and bring my prized S5 to his shop for work. Arriving at the shop the first thing I noticed is his place is immaculate, as I am a paranoid customer who only wants the best touching my ride. So as I sat in the waiting area and I begin to realize why Berk is so curt and short on the phone, his place is BUSY! I barely got five uninterrupted minutes of his time to sit down and talk about the options I wanted done on my Audi. He runs a five person shop with him handling all of the phone calls, in and out customer traffic up front while stepping in the back to make sure things are running smooth.He took me on a quick tour of the work area in the back and I have to say you could probably eat off the floor it is so clean. I was immediately sold and decided to make the commitment and ordered the full AWE exhaust system and patiently waited. The custom exhaust system took a little longer than I anticipated, but I tell it was truly worth the wait!The team at DBC tuning did an absolutely phenomenal job installing the full exhaust system and Stage 1 APR tuning. Not one issue, not one flaw, no issues at all. Their cost seemed high at first when we talked about the install, but after seeing their work, it was all worth it, you get what you pay for! I have since brought my Audi back for an APR Stage 2 super charger pulley upgrade installation and tuning as well as a alignment after an installation of H&R OE Springs. All of these installs were flawless as expected!DBC tuning will be the only shop that I will be bringing my Audi S5 for any work in the future, period! The relationship with Berk and his Crew is at a level of trust that one should have when dealing with expensive vehicles and I HIGHLY recommend DBC tuning to anyone who wants their prized expensive vehicle tuned and supercharged!

I have always received great work and service from DBC since my first visit.

Super friendly and fast, expert service. I just moved to San Antonio and needed service for our 2011 BMW and 2013 Audi. A quick online reservation for each car was all it took.

Had a air conditioning issue with my Audi A6 and saw the good reviews and decided to call. Berk was pretty backed up but though it could be a common sensor problem and said if I would bring the car by today he might be able to fix on the spot. I stopped by and in about 10 minutes and less than $100 I was back in business. Very clean and profession shop. I will definitely use them in the future and recommend to others.

Review №71

I took my Audi A4 2.0T to Berk for an oil change during the second week of April 2017 for a morning appointment. The oil change was completed in a timely manner. Also had Berk troubleshoot a check engine light. During checkout I was informed my vehicle needed a purge valve replacement and that I was in need of a timing belt change (scheduled maintenance). I was quoted a total of $1075 for both items. I brought my car in three weeks later (4 May 2017) for the needed maintenance. My Audi was completed sooner than expected and it turns out my cost was a little cheaper than quoted.TL;DR - Berk was attentive to the needs of my car, service was quicker than on-time, and customer service was excellent. I will continue to be a customer for the lifetime of this Audi and any future Audis I may acquire.

Review №72

This review is easier summed up by the email I sent the owner after nearly 5 full days of working on my car:Berk,I wanted to share a note of appreciation. I have had many trials and issues with shops in the past but this was by far the most pleasurable experience yet. You were transparent with your recommendations and pricing and I never felt worried that the outcome would be anything less than what we agreed on. I really appreciated the routine updates and quick turnaround on emails and photos too. It makes a world of psychological difference when you can see the regular updates versus just waiting for an all done phone call or a call that tells you x, y, and z are also bad...After driving home 3+ hours I can say that it does feel like a new car. Not a different car, just a new version of my baby. Steering is tighter, clutch engagement is crisp and tight, the battery issue is fixed, and the handling is much improved and straight. I wont know how happy I am with the clutch upgrade itself until after the break in period but so far I believe I have made two very good choices between you and JHM. Ill be back if I need anything major before my job takes me out of TX. Until then Ill recommend your shop to others with German vehicles and share my experience.Till next time, thanks again.

German Car Specialists is in my opinion the premier shop for services and mechanical repairs of German cars. From personal experience with my Audi I can say that going to Berk’s shop is far better in terms of quality and value than the local dealer. Berk and his team really know German cars.

DBC Tuning is the best. I only take my Audi A4 to DBC. Its hard to find a honest mechanic in this day and age. DBC is both true and honest. The staff is always professional in every way; explains what is wrong with your vehicle, and what needs to be done to correct any problems. If you have a European car, take it to DBC Tuning, they will take care of it.

I was really lucky to have found this place. I took my 525i in for a new starter and because of how affordable the work was, I took care of a leaking gasket while I was in. The work was completed in both cases before expected. There was no pressure on me to approve work and at no time did I feel that I was/would be taken for a ride. So friendly, too. I received calls throughout the entire process. At the cost of sounding cheesy, Id say that youre in good hands here.

This car specialist company knows what they are doing. I know I can leave my car there and they will take care of it as if it was their own. I trust them with my Porsche 911 anytime. They have the best prices in town and beat the Porsche Dealership by thousands in saved dollars:) I forgot to tell you that I have taken my car there regularly for over 2 years and always gotten top service and when they have given me an estimate they have never charged me more, sometimes they have even charged me less or given me extra stuff:) Highly recommendable.

Have been in three or four times now.My quotes have never differed from my cashed out price, and hes never had my vehicle longer than he says hell have it. Accurate quotes on time and money earn him a higher award than any of the other VW mechanics Ive dealt with.Furthermore, DBC presents an organized and crazy clean appearance.And EVER FURTHERMORE, I so far never feel like Im being handled by a mechanic, but rather feel like Im being advised by a consultant.High quality work from a shop with good communication skills.

Great place been taking my car here for 2 years. They do awesome work if there is going to be an additional costs they always call first to let me know whats going on. The only place in San Antonio I can take my car and leave it and not be worried. Definitely recommend if you need anything done on your German car.

Ive been taking my cars here since 2010. Ive had everything done from oil changes, tire rotation, suspension, APR tuning, major repairs due to hitting HWY debris, and wheel/tire purchase. Not only is the service top notch but everyone that works there is super cool! These guys know their stuff, they will work with you and try to make anything you need happen. Take your car to them, you wont be disappointed.

This last week I drove from Oregon to San Antonio, Texas to take delivery of a Porsche 911 4S 996. After purchasing the vehicle I immediately took it to Berk at German Car Specialists for service to make sure it was running in the best condition possible. Berk replaced the IMS bearing upon multiple other recommended services to make sure I felt secure in driving this 911 for thousands of miles to come. This company takes care of you. Theyre incredibly passionate about the work they do, their technicians are the best in the business, and they get things done in a timely manner. In my scenario multiple Porsche specialists worked on my car at the same time. If you have a German car, and you need anything done (even just an oil change) call them. You wont regret it.

The gentlemen at DBC Tuning are always very professional with customers and their vehicles and willing to go the extra mile to make the experience enjoyable. I am a day one customer, I have only ever had excellent service on my vehicles at DBC Tuning. I am the proud owner of a 2008 R32 and DBC Tuning is the only Auto Repair Shop that will ever have the pleasure of maintaining and upgrading my car. My R32 will not be touched by any local VW dealer as the level of customer service and quality of work is far greater at DBC Tuning.

I bought my 2008 BMW 650i at the beginning of 2014 and have brought it to DBC tuning for any and all maintenance and repairs. Berk and his team have always been nothing but professional and helpful. I dont feel like they are any other car shop, they have a genuine interest in European cars and are honest with me in all my questions. The turn around time is incredible also! I never have to worry about waiting a ridiculous amount of time for my car to get returned to me. I highly recommend this shop to anybody thinking about bringing their car here.

I had such a good experience at German Car Specialists that I was tempted to try to keep it to myself lest everyone find out just how efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly they are. My GTI had a misfire, and it was diagnosed and repaired before I could finish the magazine article I was reading... Wow! A+, I will be back for all my service and hopefully for a tune in the future!

I have a 1999 Saab Viggen which is very difficult to find parts for. I have taken it to multiple other repair shops and had horrible service. It is very difficult to find a good shop that can work on Saabs. DBC is excellent! They are experts at working on all European cars and provide excellent service. The employees are friendly and honest.I recommend taking your car to them, you will be amazed at how great a job they do!

I highly recommend German car specialists; Ive taken my Porsche there twice now and will definitely keep coming back for all future needs of this and my other cars. Berk has always been honest on the work needed and the best alternative for me; they have their clients best interest in mind. Prices are competitive and estimates have always been accurate in terms of timeframe and final price. Keep up the great work!

Visited this shop for an exhaust installation on my Audi, I was surprised by the awesome customer service, knowledge and fast service. Will definitely make this my local shop in San Antonio. Thanks Berk and Mark for an awesome experience.

I have used them for the last 5 years for service and maintenance on my Porsche Cayenne S and the work has always been performed in a professional manner at what I consider to be fair prices, especially when compared to dealer pricing. I have found them to be extremely knowledgeable on all things Porsche related and would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family.

Nothing but wonderful experiences here. The owner will even personally call me to thank me for my patronage and continued business. It makes the customer feel valued, which is a lost art in business. Ive taken my last 4 cars exclusively to them and will be a customer for life.
