The Makes and Repairs We Handle

Yes. Air suspension, Ingenium engines, and ZF transmissions are routine for our techs. These trucks scare off a lot of shops, but not us.

Yes. DSG and ZF service, clutch replacement, oil-leak diagnosis, and cooling repairs are steady jobs in-house. You won't be sent elsewhere for the big stuff.

How often should I service my European car?
Is an independent European shop cheaper than the dealer?

Usually, yes. You get dealer-level work without dealer overhead, and documented maintenance keeps your factory warranty valid. Most drivers save money without giving up quality. You keep the coverage and the standard of work.

Will servicing here void my new-car warranty?

No. Federal law protects your right to use an independent shop. We document the work and use factory-grade parts, so your coverage stays fully intact.

Do you offer estimates before starting work?

Always. We diagnose the fault, then explain the repair and the cost before we touch anything. You approve the work before it begins, with no surprises on the invoice.

How often should I service my European car?

Follow the manufacturer’s schedule as a baseline, and shorten oil intervals if you drive hard or short trips. Coastal salt also means brakes and suspension deserve a look more often. We’ll map a plan to your model and mileage.

Diagnostics and What to Expect

It depends on the fault and the parts, and we give you a realistic timeline up front. Many jobs finish the same day, and we'll flag it early if yours won't.

We fit factory-grade parts that meet the manufacturer's spec, not the cheapest box on the shelf. That keeps your warranty valid and the repair lasting. If you prefer OEM on a specific job, just ask.
