I can’t say enough about the incredible customer service I received from Anthony at European Automotive Specialist. After I dropped my car off I bragged to my wife about how rare it was these days to talk to someone that seemed happy to help you, made you feel comfortable, and spoke in a true professional manner. My car had a very tricky airbag issue that proved difficult to diagnose, but Anthony and his team never gave up. They were thorough, patient, and determined to get to the bottom of the problem — and they did! Throughout the process, Anthony kept me informed, explained things clearly, and made me feel confident that my car was in good hands. It’s rare to find that level of persistence and care these days, and I truly appreciate their professionalism and expertise. I highly recommend European Automotive Specialist to anyone looking for honest, knowledgeable, and dedicated auto service.

This is my second time having work done at this shop. The staff is friendly and takes the time to explain everything. I was impressed with how quickly they completed all the work. And what I really appreciate, is their honesty and integrity. I definitely recommend European Automotive for work on your car

Service Advisor Christian as well as Anthony from a year ago are tops for client service. Greeting client from time of entry, respectful inquiry as to service needed. Prompt update on progress status of service provided.

Amazing customer service! I was very hesistant to taking my car for maintenance outside of the dealership, but Anthony was very informative of the services and assured me the experience they have on foreign cars. Took my car in and had it ready for pick up later that day. Thank you for your knowledge and reassurance that my car was in great hands! For reference, I had my transmission service done, spark plugs and brake oil done.

Travis and team are top notch!!! Just had another car repaired at EAS. In this case, they found previous owner had taken the car to a "mechanic" who had patched a cracked valve cover with JB Weld and had covered up a broken bolt with weatherstrip adhesive (see pictures) The EAS team did an awesome job and got it fixed right the same day. Granted, it was a little more than the original estimate to repair the damage done (extract the broken bolt and clean up the adhesive), but not that much. I spoke with Travis prior to start of work about the timing chain issues on BMWs and he said he could inspect it once the valve cover was removed. I asked if it would be advisable to replace the chain tensioner and he said other than the additional labor to access the tensioner, it wasn't a bad idea. This is in stark contrast to another shop in Modesto, the BMW "experts" (name refers to the BMW logo), who's fix is always to just replace the timing chain. This costs in excess of $5,000. In all, I am once again extremely happy with the work performed. Those people who complain about excessive prices have not taken a car in for repair in quite some time...foreign or domestic. EAS is very competitive and extremely competent. Travis is the only guy I'll let work on my German cars!

Great shop, great service and personnel. I usually wait for my car and the consistent courtesy of the service team and their commitment to quality OEM parts and service standards is evident Also it’s a family owned business with a long many years track record. I note also that often new customers are referrals from previous owners of the car coming in. Or, like me, a referral from a longtime customer I drive from a neighboring town to take my Mercedes to them and have for years . They are prompt, thorough and help keep my car running like new

I regret not going to this place sooner. Very friendly, professional and honest staff who know what they’re doing. Anthony and Christian was extremely helpful, I asked for a quote for a 70,000 mile maintenance for my Mercedes Benz and they were able to book me the next day. I was scheduled late in the afternoon (only because of my availability) and they were able to get the job done in about an hour right before they were closing. They treated me better than the dealership ever did and they did a way better job at a fraction of the cost! I will be coming here from now on and save money while having the peace of mind knowing that my car is well taken care of.

EAS is a very good shop for my MB repairs and maintenance. I’ve been taking my cars to them for a few years now. Sometimes I don’t follow the recommended schedule, but usually end up there at some point. I remember Anthony as you walk in and writes up the work orders. Doreen, the office manager, who I didn’t see on my last visit. In fact in the early days, she would shuffle me back home as I dropped off my car. She may have retired…if so I’m glad for her…she was delightful. MB repairs are expensive! If your’re still within warranty, take the car to the dealership. But afterwards, visit EAS. This is a honest, family owned business that’s been here for years in Modesto.

Two yrs ago, European referred me to California Auto Repair for my 2017 Toyota Camry since European doesn't work on Toyotas. Made appt with California and was happy with Chris, his service and prices. Just a few days ago, I called European for another referral cuz California Automotive is no longer in business. To my very pleasant surprise, the guy(whose name is I think was Anthony?) gave me name and number of where Chris and company are now working. Got an appt with Chris All is well now. Just want European to know i truly appreciate your very helpful employee. I'll be sure to refer any and all foreign car customers to you. Thank you. My apologies to the guy who's name i not sure about.. senior moment lol

Very thorough Inspections very professional one minor thing is that guy. Steven needs to call back when he says he’s gonna call back. It was just a minor hiccup, other than that very satisfied with the service , Joe

I was nervous taking an F-Type R somewhere besides the dealer but this place is top notch. Lower cost, better customer service, and OWM parts; we found our shop.

I've been taking my Benz here for many years. I am always treated with respect and friendliness. Anthony and Tom are the best guys in the industry, and the work is always done correctly and on time. Stop going to the dealership and paying more for crappy service. You will not regret it.

A friend of mine recommended this place to me. I thought I would check it out. First thing is their customer service was excellent. Very professional and, very cool men. I felt like I was a friend which to me that’s the way you should feel like. I have worked for a Dental administration also for Burlington Coat Factory as a cashier. I know how you are supposed to be treated and they are 100% on top of that I will be returning. Keep up with the smiles and the good work.
