I came here because I had a squeal coming from my BMW 3 series engine. He figured out the problem and fixed it same day. Deducted 1 star because he didn't answer his phone or call me with an update for 6 hours. When he did call he said he checked my sunroof and it needs service. I told him he called the wrong person. He said he checked the engine and also did a whole vehicle check (and charged me a bundle for it!)

Jorge is very organized, knowledgeable and thorough. A bit expensive in the end, but the best service I’ve ever got for my car (Mini). I will be coming back.

Jorge is always reliable, always gets repairs done quickly, and always works with our budget. I wouldn’t take our Eurovan anywhere else.

Jorge has serviced multiple BMWs for me. He’s extremely knowledgeable, professional and prices are competitive and fair. His work is top notch. Highly recommend.

I can't recommend Jorge and German Auto Master enough. My BMW 328i had a persistent check engine light for ages, and after taking it to three different mechanics—including the BMW dealership twice—I was losing hope. No one could pinpoint the issue, and despite spending a lot on diagnostics, the light stayed on. Just when I was ready to sell the car, I decided to give it one last shot with Jorge—and I’m so glad I did! He found the issue within days, was upfront about costs, and took the time to confirm his findings with multiple checks. Turns out, one of the car’s computer modules was malfunctioning, throwing off the diagnostics. After resetting the module, he identified air leaks and discovered that a key part had been previously cleaned with an abrasive solution, which was the real culprit. Once he replaced it, the light finally went off—and it’s stayed off ever since. Jorge and his team truly went above and beyond to get to the root of the problem, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you want a mechanic who’s thorough, honest, and knows their stuff, this is the place to go.

Just got my BMW x3 serviced here , they were very thorough with their inspection and also letting me know what’s wrong with the car , I came in already knowing some of the problems , but was great to know they also see those problems and also others , they were able to walk me through the steps to getting it fixed , , they also have a great response with emails sending you a link , where you can check the progress of the maintenance, and I thought that was cool , and also if they need to add more things , in that link you can approve or decline the changes , was super cool and easy , definitely going to be coming back here ! Reasonable price as well! For all the work that got done . I’m just happy to get my car working perfectly again 💪🏽

I took my BMW to be looked it needed a few gaskets replaced and the bill came out to be over $2000. I declined and did some research on my own. Turns out the gaskets were like $10-20 dollars so I'm assume the labor is the rest, which is crazy to me. Ended up doing the job myself. If youre mechanically inclined, take it in for diagnostics because they are very through so they squeeze as much money out of you as they can, then take it somewhere else or do the job yourself

Jorge, the owner, is an awesome guy. This is my go to place for all my car needs because they go above and beyond and the prices are very reasonable. I brought in my BMW 328i with electrical issues, which the BMW agency was not able to diagnose let alone fix. Jorge and team ran their diagnostics, tried to re-use/refurbish the damaged part in an attempt to save me money. That speaks a lot about their honesty and ethics! All the while they had my car, waiting for the parts, they kept it covered, and even gave me a loaner!!! Did I say they go above and beyond?! Lastly, they kept me informed all throughout the process and finally my car was fixed in a very timely manner. Now they're working on my wife's A3. I'm very glad to have found them.

Found Jorge in May when my husband’s car needed some diagnostics and radiator work. He’s straightforward, pricing was aligned with estimate, and made us really impressed with the overall service. Returned when we had another issue recently. No-nonsense, got it in, work was handled, car was ready faster than we expected. We are typically customers who like to find a good shop and stick with them. Jorge + team will be “our shop” going forward (we recently moved to the area) and we’ll definitely be referring him to friends and neighbors! Thanks again, Jorge!

I just called this shop and Jorge (the owner) gave me a great pricing rate to get my front brakes fixed. I must say this is a better rate than the other auto company i called prior to calling Jorge. Let’s just say I’m saving $300 when I schedule an appointment with his business.

Came in to Auto Master with a busted tail light and window and Jorge sourced parts and got my Audi turned around in a day. He got me a fix quicker than the dealership could and charged a fair price. Not common to find this kind of service these days so I’ll definitely be coming back!

I paid Jorge $1,600 to fix my ignition. It kept locking. On three occasions I had to take it back to him, because it continued to lock up. The day I paid him, his receptionist showed me what I should do to the ignition to get it to turn. I asked her how come I just can't put the key in and turn the ignition. She explained a needed part was coming and I should bring my car back in. The same day the ignition locked up and I had to have my car towed back to their shop. Days later I contacted Jorge to see if the repairs were completed. They weren't and I told him that I was coming to retrieve my car. When I got to his shop, he had a van blocking my car and would not move it although he was paid in full. The tow truck I called had to leave because he refused to move the van. I then called the police. While I waited for them he taunted me for about twenty minutes, then decided to release my car. I had to call a second tow truck. I had my car towed to Mercedes Benz dealership. My car was repaired within days. I took Jorge to court and won. He didn't show up. He has not paid. I am taking him to court on January 24,2022. If he doesn't show up, I then must subpoena his financial information. DO NOT USE THIS SHOP!

Very nice owner and family, just not happy with the service I received for my sprinter. Had to bring my van back multiple times to fix the same problem. It’s like they just don’t double check anything. That being said all the repairs were completed at the end for the original price agreed upon. Like I said, nice owner but if you value your time and can not afford to keep bringing your van back here for them to fix it again and again then I’d go somewhere else if I were you

Very helpful staff! Our rental car had a mechanic issue and we pulled aside the car near their shop. The staff looked at the vehicle out of courtesy and eventually we parked the vehicle in their place for one night before being towed away. We are very grateful for their help.

Good with non German cars also. I brought in a subaru. Jorge is very friendly and honest. I like to work on my own cars. So i got just a diagnosis from Jorge and he was fine with that. I replaced the parts that he told me too and now my car runs fine.
