Dear Readers, I cannot say enough positive things about the fine folks at German Car Specialists, a long-standing and highly reputable business in the Puget Sound region!

Friendly, courteous services at excellent price. I have taken my Mercedes in often and have never been disappointed. I'd definitely recommend them.

Tony is very incompetent, rude and unfriendly. Prices are way overpriced and service is terrible.

BMW brake repair.

I came to German Car Specialists because with multiple problems to my 2008 Audi Q7. I had gone to a place locally where I live and they attempted to fix one of my problems twice and failed, fixing a pressure leak in my fuel line. Then when my MMI died I knew I had to find a better place and I was recommended by a friend to German Car Specialist. Tony and his team was able to find the leak - which appear to had been caused the summer prior when I ran over a screw driver on the freeway and it punctured my right wheel well and gave me a flat. Tony was able to fix a filter that was leaking in that corner and the car has been driving great and not throwing the error for that any more. Next was the project challenge the MMI on my car appeared to have died. Well that was only part of it and of course Audi has to make this part super complex and not resilient to spills (wasn't my spill; well maybe). Anyways he parted me out and brand new was pricey so Tony got me used parts. Of course on install it wasn't the right part cause my 2008 car was limited run before Audi changed those components and so of course they are hard to come by. So Tony deep dives and gets on the phone with Audi and sorts this out. Now they order a brand new part and there is only one in the US at NY. That part comes in gets replaced and it’s like - yeah just kidding I'm not the problem. One would think what do we do now is there hope. Tony and his team starts to break it all down into each component check zone - they get details from Audi as Audi was like that's not right. They figure out which zone are failing their return signals and causing the main MMI to shut down. Come to find out it’s the Siri Controller and the Controls Unit (the center console dials). Tony's crew gets those parts in and gets it installed and presto we have my MMI fully functioning again. Much Thanks Tony. You and your crew did excellent work. I will be coming back for this car and any other German vehicle I buy

Great service, extremely knowledgeable on Audi's and was able to fix our difficult problems. Thanks Tony.

Updated review Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Easy to make an appointment and they do not try to upsell you. Prices are reasonable and they are willing to work with you to get your issues resolved.

NOT GOOD FOR NEWER CARS. These jokers maybe good with BMW's older than 2000 but who knows. Anything newer and its basically a guessing game for them. They DO NOT have the proper diagnostic tools as claimed on their website. They are not using the same computer systems as the BMW dealer to diagnose vehicle problems. They are in fact using a sub-par diagnostic tool and throwing parts at the problem. I should have known after doing a buyers inspection and receiving a barely ledgibel and hand written inspection report on my $50,000 used BMW. Against my better judgement I decided to have some repairs performed at their facility. After spending nearly $3000 in unnecessary repairs I finally made a better choice and had 2nd opinion at the BMW dealer. They finally fixed the problem. As it turns out a German accent does not translate into BMW certifications. This place will probably be suitable for any 80's or 90's bmw but not anything newer. Good Luck!

I've taken my 2003 BMW 325xi into this shop twice now and have received exceptional service every time. They have helped me deal with a lot of the problems that have popped up on my 12 year old car while working within my budget. Not only would they search around the city to find me the parts I needed but they had a loaner car frequently available to help me get to work while my car was being fixed. I would highly recommend them to anyone because they will talk with you to explain the problem and help you find the quickest and most cost effective way to fix it for you.
