German Motorwerks

John and his son, Paul, are the best mechanics I have dealt with in 5 states I have lived. They are passionate and knowledgable about german motor brands and are incredibly honest. I have a 2016 M235i and have gone back to them for various tasks like brake replacement, a broken coolant hose issue and other preventative maintenance. I tend to err on the side of caution and try to get all kinds of preventative maintenance planned based on what I read on forums but they are very practical and knowledgable about these engines and what should be delayed and what should be prioritized. They are always honest about their pricing and quite quick on their turn around time. I highly suggest them as your german motor mechanics in the area!

Thanks John and his team for saving our Monterey and Carmel trip! Our VW Beetle was unable to start. After getting roadside assistance from the credit card company, we decided to drive straight to German Motorwerks. It was a good decision as this shop specializes in VW and had the part we needed. John, the owner, did professional assessment of our 6-year old battery's health. We decided to play it safe and get it replaced because we would be in trouble if our car doesn't start again in a remote location. Luckily, German Motorwerks had the H5 battery in stock. Everything was done in ~45 mins while we enjoyed ourselves around the nearby Cannery Row. And then we resumed our trip! Service: Battery

Owner agreed to do work on my car if I got the parts myself and then after I got the necessary parts he backed out.

German Motorwerks is my local shop! My Audi A3 gets routine services and brakes done here. Ask Paul about APR tuning to give your Audi and an awesome extra boost! Also, my Vanagon is well taken care of here. Paul and John are VW and Vanagon people. From routine services to replacing steering racks, bushings, sway bars, big brakes, or a transmission, they know Vanagons. They are knowledgeable and fair. For instance, I have been advised to get a particular job done immediately for safety and in other situations that I could hold off if something was not necessary, meaning they help prioritize jobs, which I appreciate. Thank you!!
