I first went to European Motorsports when service manager Cameron began working there. The shop is off the main drag, and a little challenging to find. Once there, the search will be worth it. Cameron is very knowledgeable about German autos. He can often diagnose problems when you arrive. He has saved us time and money by telling us what we didn't need, and focused on the problem at hand. He has become our go-to guy when our BMW needs attention. The shop is clean, the mechanics are quick and efficient, and the prices are reasonable.

I had an issue with an airbag light after unplugging the seat so I took it to the Mercedes dealership. They said it would be $250 to reprogram the system. I called European Motorsports and they got it done for me within five minutes and didn’t even charge me! I feel very confident this place is honest and trustworthy. I’ll be back for my future repairs and maintenance.

Joe and Cameron are the Best of The Best! Wouldn't trust anyone else with my Porsches. They are the first I go to for advice when I investigate buying porsches. Are always on target with repairs; excellent in describing exactly what needs to be done and then explaining what they found. Joe has been tenacious in finding root causes of electrical issues. My "Go-To-Porsche-Experts", they have been wonderful partners in my car care, for over 9 years. Trustworthy, highest quality and just wonderful people to know. Lucky me!

I have gone to Cameron for years. First to repair and maintain my vintage 190E-16, then my 1991 M5 and most recently my 2009 AMG c63. He is brilliant. He knows these cars. He and his staff of amazing mechanics recently rebuilt the c63 engine top and bottom and it has run flawlessly as a daily driver ever since. It is not an easy engine to rebuild but I would not have taken it anywhere else. He is meticulous and informative. If you go to any other shop, you are making a mistake.

Cameron really knows his stuff and is beyond generous with his extensive knowledge and time. Shop is beautiful--clean and full of gorgeous cars. There are many reasons so many people trust their expensive cars with Cameron and crew. Thank you, and keep being awesome!

Cameron and his team give me top notch service! He's the only mechanic I've used since I've had my car and even if I call and say this happened, he always says bring it in and I'll check it out right away. At least twice he did check things out and didn't charge me a dime to see what the issue was. He's fair and honest, so he'll continue to get my business for my foreign gas guzzler!

Brought my Mercedes ML-350 after noticing the oil drops in my garage have steadily grown over several weeks. I tried to get some closer garages to take a look, but either they were already running two weeks behind on appointments or they expressed doubt as to their ability to work on a Mercedes engine. One auto shop did recommend going to European Motorsports and I was able to call and secure an appointment much sooner. They were able to determine that I needed to reseal the upper timing covers and clean up the significant crud that had accumulated around the engine as well as replace the camshaft adjuster magnets. It took a few days, over a weekend in fact, to do the work, clean, dry and test drive the car. While the covers were all off, Cameron (the owner) also recommended replacing the air filter and replacing the oil as well. All of the work, parts & labor came to $1381. I cannot echo as to what others have said regarding having work done at the dealer which would cost much more as I have never taken my car to the dealer off its extended warranty. I'm sure their mechanics are no better than those at European Motorsports and honestly I trust the reviews here on Yelp. Cameron also mentioned that these repairs and the oil change itself would be reported to CarFax and that the other garages that have done work on my car did not report to CarFax...which was a surprise to me. I'm glad he called that out as I would not have known otherwise. This work was from last year, but I'm happy to report we have not had any issues since.

Wow, what a stroke of luck to find this shop. They are very competent, professional and honest! They has an almost perfect 5 star rating for a reason--they understand European cars. They just don't keep replacing parts--they know how to actually--DIAGNOSE a problem!! I can't say enough good things about them. I rate them 5 stars and I drive 60 miles one way to visit their shop.

Cameron & his team are awesome! My car needed a number of services, including brake fluid flush, oil sensor change, and oil & filter change. Reasonable prices. I’d had an oil leak under watch with a prior mechanic and Cameron recommended the same, no upsell. Everything was completed the same day. Shop is very clean, everyone looks professional. I was referred by a friend and felt very confident in the repairs, would now highly recommend myself! :)

Cameron and team are truly European vehicle experts. I have been taking my German cars there for years. It’s great to be able say I hear or feel this, and they can tell me what it is, is it a problem, how to fix it? I asked about putting a new IMS in my Porsche and Cameron did not try to sell me on it, but gave me the info so that I could make an informed decision. Thanks guys. It’s great to be able to trust my mechanic.

Highly knowledgeable, excellent customer service, fair, and well-priced. I'm grateful to have found Cameron at European Motorsports. As a car enthusiast and expert in the field, I feel confident bringing my car to this establishment. Cameron knows Porsches. He is transparent and honest about pricing, the duration required for the services to be completed, and didn't try to upsell or angle what kind of services I should get. What stands out to me most is his advocacy when he noticed my car had a problem, he noted that it was a trend in other 718s and 911s. Rather than simply offering to fix it, he encouraged me to escalate the issue with Porsche North America. I'm so happy to find a mechanic that does high-quality work and is a fair person. Since this problem, I've come back to European Motorsports for struts and a battery change. The work was done well, quickly, and at such a savings compared to what the dealership would have charged. Thank you Cameron and the European Motorsports Staff :)

Super trustworthy pros. Brought my 24 Porsche GTS 4.0 to them for concerns regarding vibration from an exhaust. They drove it and confirmed car was good and explained multiple things to me and didn’t even try to charge me. They will be my spot for my Porsche

I can't say enough good things about European MotorSports! When my GTI started acting up, I was freaking out. But Cameron and his crew were total lifesavers. They didn't try to upsell me or replace unnecessary parts. Instead, they gave me honest advice and only did what was needed. That's rare these days! They're always swamped with work, which tells you how good they are. Don't let that put you off though - just book ahead. Whether you've got a regular European car or some fancy sports machine, these guys will treat it right. Seriously, give them a shot!

EMS is a fair drive from our home, but for the honesty, professionalism, and respect we'll definitely make the drive any time our Mini needs service. Thanks for checking out a suspected oil leak on a new to us 2012 Mini Countryman and setting our minds at ease about the purchase. Would highly recommend this business to anyone!

TBH... they didn't work on my car but they informed me of which services MUST be done religiously, and expected failures. And WRT purchasing, they provided insight on ALL Mini models and what to look for and what to avoid.

I took my wife's 2019 e450 in because we got some error messages on the dash. They read the codes after a very short wait. Result was no problem found. No charge. I'll definitely be back for any service on the car. Nice people too.

Excellent Indy shop with dedicated, knowledgeable staff. I brought my Panamera hybrid for service and am impressed by the service and dedication to look beyond the obvious to make sure my car is in top shape at a reasonable price.
