This place was recommended by a friend who I trust. I took the two BMW’s we have there and got quick and honest assessments and repairs. I’m very happy with the results. They are caring, knowledgeable, fair and professional people. I will be returning tor future repairs. Pavol is fantastic and knows a lot. You can’t go wrong with him

Great guys, I had very little time to make a quick inspection before heading up north on a 5hr drive, they made the time, were friendly and courteous about it, and the car performed as they said it would. Would highly recommend.

After getting a quote from BMW service centre for $3000 I took my car to AE where they were able to fix the same problem for FREE. Honest and professional service. Highly recommend. A++

Over the course of about a year, Ive grown to know this shop and the crew (Paul, Joe, Bill, Jerry, and everyone else) quite well and recommend AE German to everyone I know. These guys rebuilt my engine after a cracked cylinder head, they replaced my shocks, replaced window regulators, and have done various smaller jobs for me. They even provided a great recommendation for fixing my upholstery and convertible top. Theyve always been honest and care about doing the best work for a good price.

The folks here are awesome, I had never been here and I brought my car in to swap out some pedals, it took them about 30 min to do it and they didn’t want to charge me, even after I insisted. I will definitely be back here!

The service manager Bill is great to work with. He helped me anyway he could on giving me a fair price to rebuild the top end of my 2002 VW Eurovan. Which is a huge job. I had total confidence in Paul the mechanic after talking to him about the job. He did an amazing job getting my van back in the road. It runs great now. This isn’t the cheapest shop around, but at AE you definitely get what you pay for. If you love your German car like I do you want It taken care by the best.

Really impressed with AE German Car Service. I recently purchased an older 328i convertible and I knew it needed to be serviced at the time of purchase - so I took it to the dealer and they said I needed $3100 worth of service and maintenance. They weren’t wrong, but I wasn’t about to pay that much. Took the car to AE and they independently verified that I needed maintenance and what items needed to be serviced. They performed all the work plus identified that I needed a new battery. Out the door with tax the total was $1600 - quite a savings from the dealer. Took the car in the morning and had it back by late afternoon. The car feels and drives like new. Service was friendly, professional and top notch. Unless you’re under a warranty or maintenance plan there really is no reason to go to the dealer. AE performs the same services, they run the same diagnostics, and have qualifiers technicians that will do the same, if not better, quality of work. Can’t recommend them enough!

These guys are all so friendly and knowledgeable. My check engine light came on my audi and i took it in. They ran some tests and found no real problems and didn’t charge me for the assessment! Will definitely be back and can’t say how nice it is to have some friendly and trustworthy mechanics in the neighborhood! Very sweet guys!

I handed over my BMW with check engine lights on and car bumping while driving. I went away and came back after an hour after inspection. Bill was the person who described the issue to me pointing at portions of the opened up engine. Some of the wires of my engines spark plugs were shorted out so the spark plugs needed a replacement. I gave a go ahead and was told he will order the parts and will have the car ready by the evening. In 4-5 hours the same day the car was ready to drive smooth again. I loved the way the issue was described to me clearly without any unnecessary service upsells unlike my past experience with other service centers. Labor and parts pricing was reasonable for the quality of service. And my car has been driving smooth since.

I have been taking my Mercedes Benz to AE German Car Service for more than six years. They provide excellent and timely service. They have always been able to solve the little “warning” alerts that appear on my display quickly and with economically. I find that I get better service at AE at a much more reasonable price than I would get at a dealership. AE is a two-generation family business that takes pride in their efforts and it shows! I have begun taking my BMW you there as well.

Had my 09 Jetta repaired here after the engine started sputtering and I started hearing a whistling sound. They were able to identify that one of the belts had gone bad and they were able to order and replace the part in only a couple days for a great price. Great service and excellent work

Was referred by someone who I barely knew. Took my BMW for service, the staff immediately got to work on it, formulated a short list of items that should be looked at but no hidden fees. They knew exactly what they were looking at, charged me fairly and asked me to come back any time to look over the rest. My car and I left happy because of the professionalism, great attitude and stellar service. This is the only place to go if you care for your automobile.

Friendly service, quick turn around. YMMV when it comes to price, you have a BMW, those can be expensive to fix if not taken care of in a respectable manner.Update: 6/21/18Joao, David, and the other people there helped us out in a big way in regards to our injured BMW. I will continue to bring my business here, as they went the extra mile, good prices, swift work and they understand that their reputation matters.Thank you guys once again.

Estimates of completion incorrect - had to call them several times after they said they’d call me later in the day but didn’t. I kept hearing that the car was 99% done and will be done “today” or “tomorrow” for 4 days. Finally got the car, was treated rudely by a gentleman who was asked to try the reverse for me (shifter needed repairs so I was making sure).20 minutes later the drive belt blew out (to be fair I didn’t specifically ask them to look at that). I have to take it to another shop now.All in all the parts cost about $30 and the labor ran nearly $800 to repair a few wires and throw in a part for the shifter.The shifter was repaired but the customer experience was not pleasant and the cost felt excessive for the work done.

I cant believe this place! I have a BMW, and always use to take it to my dealer, because of the warranty. Finally I decided that they have sucked enough money out of me, and was under the suspicion that they werent doing their job properly. But thats for another review... I got a recommendation form a friend for AE German. The service to my car was done quickly and professionally and executed to my expectation. I havent had to return to fix a problem they missed the first time, which was new to me! I have however came back for my routine maintenance, and am for the first time satisfied with my mechanics, as well as the rest of the staff there. I love this place as much as a woman can love a mechanics shop.

Very considerate and thoughtful people work here: Prompt service for two major problems, these problems Volkswagen would have charged for 6000, AE did for 800. These people genuinely care about the functionality of your vehicle and will offer you a fair price.

I brought my 2007 VW Jetta in to Volkswagen Santa Monica with serious brake issues. Their estimate for Premature Rotor Damage was over $1000. I took it over to AE German, and had it fixed quickly for nearly half the price. I will be coming back next time I need a mechanic and stop waiting my time with over priced cheaters.

I own a Mercedes and I make sure my car gets the best service possible because it is an expensive car and to not get it fixed the first time the right was will only cause me to waste more time and money into shops that can’t give me 100 percent in service, this is why I bring my lovely car to Aegerman car service they are the best!
