Highly recommend this place! Tom is always so helpful. I have an intoxalock machine that occasionally needs recalibration. Tom is always so quick to help! I show up unexpected every single time and despite him always being busy he is attentive, quick and professional! He even adds additional information to help out when he feels is needed to be sure you are not mislead. Thank you Tom!!

I live halfway across the country and was attempting to buy a 911 in Los Angeles. I selected this shop to perform a pre purchase inspection on my behalf. They charged a very fair price, gave me a detailed overview of the car, and everything was done in a timely manner!

I am so happy to have found this business. I own three VWs and a BMW. I have been so frustrated with dishonest mechanics and poor workmanship, so I panicked when my Passat needed work. SCV came to my rescue. This mechanic knows his stuff. I will be bringing him all my business from now on.

THEY SAVED THE DAY!!! They fit my car in on a jam. Told me to bring it over to check it out so they could order parts so that they would already be there after a holiday weekend. I HAD to have the car fixed as it was my daughter's first car and was having her driver's test the following Wednesday. I got the car back there Monday morning and they got the radiator swapped out and checked some other stuff for me. Got the car back the day before my daughter had her driving test. They definitely earned a customer and I will only take the jetta to them.

Thank you to Tom and Chris and the rest of the crew at SCV German Car Service. Communication was excellent on my BMW repair project. Tom explained each repair component and all of the work was done ahead of schedule. I never had to initiate a call about the status of my car because I was kept informed every step of the way. Also, Tom didn't treat me like a dummy when I made a dummy mistake and probably wasted his time. My car is running well now.

I own a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. I had an issue with my ignition key switch. It would struggle to start after getting gas or abruptly turn off at stop signs or red lights. I took it to two different mechanics and they could not figure out the problem. Tom immediately determined the issue and it now works perfectly. He is very knowledgable and professional. I highly recommend!

I have a Smart car and it's so hard to find places to fix them. I am traveling and towing my car. I took it in to see what was causing it to overheat. Tom was great! He looked at it and determined that it was an issue that would take time to get the parts. Unfortunately I had to leave town, and he did not even charge me for his time. Thank you, Tom! Highly recommend :)

Great customer service and quality work! Had my Mini Cooper Convertible completed in a few hours. I went in with known brake issues and they changed the pads and the warped rotors for a “fair” price!!! (The quotes around the word ‘fair’ are because there is no such thing when it comes to German cars…lol) I will be taking my car back to them in the future without a doubt!

Tom at SCV German Car Service is great. He’s very informative and explains what is going on when there is an issue. Prices are reasonable for German cars. When looking for a mechanic I find it’s hard to find one that you can establish trust with but I feel I have found that in SCV German Car Service.

Highly Recommend! Took my Sons VW Beetle here after a minor fender bender caused his headlight to fall out… Luckily, they asked if I could bring the old headlight in which we figured was probably busted. We were so lucky they told us to try bringing it and were able to fix it in a matter of minutes. We’d originally planned on leaving his car and waiting on an estimate but instead our issue was solved instantly! It’s been very hard to find people who understand this particular car, let alone who wouldn’t take advantage of a Mom just trying to get her kid back on the road. When I asked the total they said, “no charge it was only a few seconds of time”. That’s pretty incredible for someone who just totally fixed the car! I was absolutely impressed and dumbfounded because I’m usually the person who would be taken advantage of. We are very grateful for their time and assistance. They’ve earned a customer for life! Thank you so much SCV German Car Service! We will be back!

Tom, the owner, is a great honest mechanic, fast and efficient. He has been taking care of my Porsche and my BMW for years. He would actually discourage you from unnecessary work. Thank you Tom!

These guys are extremely hones, fair, and knowledgeable. They took EXCELLENT care of my unique situation. They went out of their way to squeeze my car in and get the car back on the road the same day. I Highly recommend using them for your German car. These are the "good guys" in the business.

I used their services a few times for my Audi A3 as they are close to me, but each time I had some other major issues right after they were finished. This was as of last week for 2007 Audi A3, Mr. $200/Hr.

Had my car towed in, it wouldn't start. After AAA took forever... But that's for another rating...They were all very understanding and courteous. Very fair pricing, and I would recommend them to anybody.

I brought my Mercedes in for two simple repairs: fixing the trunk latch and replacing the door tumbler. The shop initially agreed to do the work, but later told me they received the wrong door tumbler. Instead of offering to reorder the correct part, they basically gave up on the job. When I picked up the car, things were actually worse than when I brought it in. The door panel had been left loose and improperly reinstalled, and the wood trim was chipped. Even worse, the trunk latch had been disabled and parts were left unassembled. Because of this, I had to take the car to another shop just to have the door panel reinstalled properly and the trunk latch put back together. Despite not completing the job, they still charged me $80. I paid it just to move on. After leaving, I discovered the trunk latch components were completely disassembled. When I called to report the issue, the person at the desk told me it was because I had already picked up the car — which makes no sense, since of course I had to pick it up. Overall, this was a very frustrating experience. I left with damage to my trim, unfinished work, and had to pay another shop to fix what should have been handled here. I would not recommend this place based on my experience.
