German Autowerks

Have had multiple large services done on my vehicle, and am always pleased with the attention to detail in their work. Despite being prepared to have an entire timing chain service done, they found the components inside to be newer than the mileage would suggest, alluding to the job having already been completed. Overall great experience and I will continue to my vehicles here in the future.

I was recommended to take my 2015 BMW X1 to German Autowerks by a close friend. Where I was introduced to Chris, which by the way is very knowledgeable he does a great job getting you scheduled & quoted. My experience with German Autowerks has been great!! I love the fact that I’ve never had to leave my vehicle just sitting at the shop for days. The repairs on my vehicle were done right and i received my car back in a timely manner . The mechanics are very professional and honest. I highly recommend this place.

German Autowerks is the best!! Even though I have a jeep wrangler they installed new tires, balance and alignment. I will recommend this shop to everyone. They also work on our 2003 Mercedes SL500, taking care of the regular maintenance at a reasonable price. Love this place!

After Firestone gave me back my beetle with the brakes barely working and trying to sell me on other things I didn't need, I looked up local shops that handle European cars. It was instant relief pulling into their lot and seeing a handful of VW Beetles sitting outside. This shop was able to fix the issues Firestone caused, as well as get my car back up to standards. My brakes have never worked better, and my car idles so much more quite now. The things that Firestone told me I needed to fix my brakes were found to not be relevant at all. I feel as though the prices were fair, and the communication was great with frequent updates from Chris. I felt like they really wanted to help me out and get my issues fixed. I've had the car for 7 years and only now could someone tell me where my constant oil leak was coming from and actually fix it. I own two beetles, and will be taking them here from now on while I'm in Columbus. Thank you German Autowerks.

Waited well over a year to post this review: Brought in a 2015 VW Tiguan R Line 4-Motion for a check engine light. This shop diagnosed the issue as a timing chain despite low mileage (sub 60k) and was quoted around a couple thousand to replace it. Being nowhere near the needed timing chain replacement mark typically needed on higher mileage engines, I had my doubts. I usually work on the vehicles but was out of state for work. I assumed they read the VW bulletin for the prior generation of this vehicle for a timing chain issue and did minimal diagnostics. Despite talking to them, insisting it was not the timing chain, and the bulletin was for a different generation, they held firm. I then declined work and had it towed to VW at MAG Dublin. Where they then replaced a faulty knock sensor in the engine which solved the issue. I called German Autowerks requesting a refund of the payment I made for diagnostics and explained what VW had found. I was willing to provide them all documentation of the repair, however, they refused to refund the money despite being wrong. It has been well over a year and the issue has not come back, I never needed a timing chain replacement. I am glad I trusted myself and decided to get a second opinion which saved me thousands of dollars. Do your research please, there are more experienced shops out there that have better integrity and can admit when they were wrong.

I took my Audi diesel here on recommendation and was happy with the treatment and service I received. The staff is friendly and made me feel comfortable. I felt like I was treated fairly and was pleased when the invoice was lower than the original quote. Will use them in the future and have already recommended them!
