We called at the last minute while we were from out of town visiting, and they got us right in to take a look at our BMW diesel wagon. They were able to quickly diagnose the issue, and had it t fixed later in the day! They also found some items that need attention, but could be done at a later date. Everyone was very nice, and som many cool cars there! I would definitely recommend them.

I moved to the Central Coast and needed a new mechanic to service my Mini Cooper Convertible. Schneider Autohaus had reasonable prices for the regular service and inspection and were detailed in their recommendations. Staff were friendly and knowledgable. They even washed my car! Will definitely continue to bring my car to them.

Schneider Autohaus is the best. From the check in process to the service, they communicate well, answer all questions, and they slow down so you have a clear understanding of why they’re taking action the way they are. Awesome experience start to finish.

Always a pleasure dealing with the family at Schneider Autohaus. They have been caring for my Porsche for over 15 years now. They are very thorough and knowledgeable.

Schneider’s is by far the best place in Santa Barbara to take your Porsche for maintenance and repairs. They always take great care of my 2003 911 turbo. Highly recommended!

Just had my second visit to Schneider Autohaus and I am very satisfied with the work completed. I have an R53 Mini Cooper S that’s going 21 years strong and I’m always hesitant to bring her to a new shop. However, the two visits to Schneider Autohaus have been wonderful - the technicians are very capable and knowledgeable, with timely resolution to the service. I was having issues with my driver’s side window after another shop installed the regulator incorrectly. The team was able to adjust the window properly so that I no longer have loud wind noise while driving at speed! I will continue to bring my car to them and trust the work they do. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

My service on both of my Porsches is always the best quality available! All technicians are experts completing any service necessary for my cars to be in the best condition for their age. I highly recommend them for regular service and for handling any problems that pop up!

Great service at Schneiders! Their team went above and beyond with my 2006 Cayman. What really impressed me was their proactive approach - not only did they handle everything my Porsche needed, but they also suggested smart ways to save money without compromising on quality. It's rare to find a shop that treats your car like their own while still keeping your budget in mind. The Cayman is running beautifully now. If you're looking for honest, reliable Porsche service, this is your place.

My recent fix was something really simple. I was charged not only a reasonable amount for labor but for the part as well. The guys there are awesome. Best Porsche place in town!

Best service, master mechanics, and always reliable and honest. I invariably get the quality service I need and pay for. I have been to several BMW dealerships from OC to SLO and I make my SB visits around my car maintenance needs now. Henry, Paula, and their staff are wonderful.

I’ve been taking my 1991 Carrera 2 here For a couple years. And I think I can speak with anybody basically in Santa Barbara that’s a Porsche, That Schneider is the only place to go. I’ve come to them with some pretty wild request and they are able to handle it professionally and quickly. In particular, Chris, Seems to be a master technician of anything Porsche And proactively fixes problems that even I miss. Highly recommended!

Great service at a fair price. No Porsche or SB markup! Exceeded my expectations even though I received several recommendations including PCA members and my contractor. Nice to have a competent independent Porsche shop so close to home. Friendly competent service at a fair price and it’s like visiting a mini Porsche/BMW museum to boot!

As always, Schneider services are thorough, professional and reliable. The team spotted a serious problem we weren’t aware of, took the necessary steps to affect the repair and did the work in a timely way. The costs were fair and reasonable. I trust these people with all the Porsche and BMW work I need done.

I have a 1973 Porsche 911 E in original condition. It’s hard to find somebody who knows and cares about these cars enough to make the small adjustments needed to keep it running perfectly. I finally found somebody who’s as picky as I am.. Henry spent nearly a month with my car looking every possible item to improve the driving experience. He replaced the transmission after 95,000 miles, he balanced the wheels several times to get the smoothest ride possible. He adjusted the height which had been set too low. He fixed 10 minor things on the car which were slightly annoying… and he did it with patience and love and expertise. Hands-down, the best vintage Porsche mechanic I’ve ever met.

Superior experience as always from Schneider. My Cayenne has a major issue and the diagnostics they provided will be hugely valuable in make my case to Porsche. Great, friendly team who have genuinely provided professional service, repair and simply delivered honest value in maintaining the Porsches we’ve owned over the last twenty years.

I’m an out of town customer, somewhat skeptical of new BMW repair shops, but the reviews were good so I gave them a try. The staff diagnosed the possible issue, estimated the cost and completed the repair as expected. Good shop with friendly, knowledgeable people. I will use them again.

They know their stuff especially when it comes to Porsches and you can tell when you roll up on the Schneider Autohaus lot. The SA team is conscientious and seem to do their best to make sure your needs are met as a customer. Don't need to hesitate if you want something addressed or have a question. They will get you an answer about your vehicle. You get the sense that they stand by their work. Personnel touch points included Reza, Kieran, Chris, Cesar and Paula. All with different roles and a pleasure to deal with. I had an inspection and some ongoing catch up maintenance to do on my car. To me, they are the main game (if not the only) in town when it comes to a repair shop for your Porsche. 5 stars for now.

Schneider Autohaus is exceptional. They are incredibly thorough, genuinely kind, and impressively fast without ever cutting corners. The team took the time to explain everything clearly and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. It’s rare to find an auto shop that combines this level of professionalism with such great customer service. I trust them completely and will be bringing all of my cars here for repairs going forward. Highly recommend!
