It’s not often that you find a mechanic that you immediately trust. I have a 10 yr old Audi with 111k miles on it. ER&R were upfront and transparent on what needed to be done. They even recommended I go back to my previous mechanic on work that had been done incorrectly because it would still be under warranty. I would and will recommend ER&R to all my friends who have European cars. Thanks for the great service!

Always enjoy talking to Karl about cars and racing. Kelly is a nice addition to the staff, very professional and detailed! Planning to track my car on the Charlotte motor speedway in a couple weeks and had my precheck Tech inspection including high temp brake fluid change out and oil change. Only place to go for your performance car in Charleston.

The team at European Road & Racing are the best! I would highly recommend using them for any of your automotive needs. They have taken care of both my daily driver and classic Porsche and have always been extremely honest and caring about getting my cars back on the road in top performance!

Mr. Kelly, and Ms. Abby both mechanics who are the face of this business, and incredibly welcoming and loving. Mr. Caden, who did the alignment and wheel balance on my car, ensured that it was perfectly aligned. In contrast, we had an alignment done by Mr. Tire, which was the bare minimum and did nothing to improve my car. The problem persisted after the alignment, making it a waste of time and money. Mr. Carl, the owner of European Road and Racing, made us feel like family. We went for a ride in our car, and he reciprocated by taking us for a ride in his own. He was knowledgeable about our car, took us on a tour of the repair shop. It was organized, functional, and had a cool temperature for working in. Everyone there was extremely happy and knowledgeable about car repairs. I’ve visited many places to get service on my GLE63s, but this company has surpassed my expectations. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure that the problem was resolved promptly. We drove an hour and a half, but it was worth it. Our appointment was at 0930, and the car was in the back by 0935. They don’t waste time, and the work was done properly. If I could give 100 stars, I would. This is the best shop for your European ride. GO THERE AND EXPERIENCE GREATNESS. Lastly they are Not Expensive!!

Absolutely incredible shop. I brought in my new Cayenne for an inspection after purchase and every concern or question I had was answered. Kelly behind the desk was extremely friendly and helped squeeze in my appointment. Everyone at the shop was also very accommodating and very knowledgeable. Karl the owner has an incredible background in both the shop and as a racing driver. He went out of his way to help me and did a fantastic job addressing my issues. I would recommend this shop to anyone who is serious about keeping their vehicle in top shape.

Kelly and the team at European Road And Racing took great care of my BMW X5M, So happy I found them and such a better experience, dealing with true car enthusiast than taking it to the dealership who seemed to always find things it didn’t need! The new tires and fresh alignment make the car drive like new, I don’t drive it every day and probably I hadn’t been because it needed the tires in the alignment but now I have fallen in love with it all over again, thanks guys!

Since moving to the Charleston area earlier this year, I’ve wanted to find a good reliable shop to get my car serviced, add modifications to, and not worry about getting scammed. I’m not one to take my car to a dealership, so I knew I wanted to find a good local European shop that I can trust with my g80 m3. I’ve had really bad experiences in the past with other shops and dealers, so it’s nice to finally a shop that cares and will take care of your car like it’s their own. Karl (the owner) is amazing to work with. He makes sure you’re getting what suits you and your car best. Kelly was SUPER patient with me through the entire process of getting my m3 serviced, modifications added, and in general making my car exactly the way I wanted it. He answered every single question I had and always kept me updated during the entire process. It couldn’t have turned out any better. They are not in the business just to make money and I feel really comfortable with them working on my car. They truly are THE shop to take your European car to if you need any maintenance work, performance or cosmetic mods etc. If anyone knows me I’m a very meticulous person and they have exceeded my expectations with everything! So thank you to everyone at ERR. You’ll have a customer for life.

These guys are awesome. Karl did a complete and thorough inspection of my 911 Turbo S that was flawless and the customer service was impeccable. Without a doubt, if you have a high-performance car in the Charleston area, this is where you'll want to take it for the best possible result.

Visited the store for the 1st time today. I needed to find a capable mechanic to perform regular maintenance on my 1956 classic collector 190SL Benz Roadster. Karl and his team welcomed me with open arms and he even took the time to give me a tour of the facility and his various jobs in progress to demonstrate his experience and competency. I scheduled an upcoming appointment with them and have little doubt that they will be "up for the task". In a world where simply hooking up a car to the diagnostic machines is what has become the "standard", and where there seem to be fewer and fewer skilled artisans like Karl, taking a prized possession to this shop should give anyone the confidence of a worry-free experience!

Kelly and the crew fixed an issue the Audi dealership could not fix and they had my vehicle for 8 hours. I told the Audi dealership I will have it towed to European Road and Racing. The price surprised me and showed me again how honest and trustworthy this company is. Mr. Carl you have created an amazing shop that I will always come back to for al my Euro car needs.

The place is AWESOME! I bought a private seller Porsche and brought it to them for an inspection and to address a couple of minor issues. They did an amazing job going through everything and giving me a very detailed update and took care of the minor issues. Their experience shows! I am confident in my purchase and I will have they are now my "Go-To" company for my Porsche! They are super friendly and explain things in a very common sense way. THANK YOU!

Had a good experience at European Road & Racing. They replaced transmission oil cooler on 2019 BMW X3 due to a coolant leak and had both motor mounts replaced. The shop I normally use was booked for over a month. They were able to get me in the next day and had the repair completed 2 day ahead of the original timeline. They offer a 12 month 12000 mile warranty on their work. Kelly, the service manager showed me photos of the faulty oil cooler and I would definitely recommend and plan to use them for any future repairs.

We had an issue with coolant leaking from its reservoir on my BMW X5. These guys are friendly, competent and an expert in this field. This was our first experience with them but should we need repairs in the future, we know who to call!

Add me to the long list of satisfied customers of European Road & Racing. I took my car in to have the condenser replaced after it was damaged by some road debris. They told me it would be ready by the time they closed at 6:30p however when I arrived around 6:15p they still needed to charge the system (which takes at least an hour). Unlike most places that would have told me to return the next day, the owner and two technicians remained until the job was finished. Since I live over an hour away this really meant a lot to me. Thanks ER&R!

I am so happy with my recent experience with European Road & Racing, the entire staff clearly loves what they do, and it’s evident in every interaction I’ve had with them! I just had some custom wheels/exhaust/suspension work done on my Panamera, and it came out beyond perfect. I asked them to make it cool and they understood the mission! Their expertise and vast experience is invaluable and is one reason I plan on being a customer for life.

Kelly and Karl were knowledgeable and helpful in every way, plus got my vehicle serviced and back on the road ahead of the scheduled time. They didn’t tell me I needed numerous things done, only what was needed presently and what was recommended in the near future. Highly recommend!
