Exceptional service, top-shelf and high-end parts. My vettes engine failed on a hot track day due to a faulty thermostat. After looking around for about 2 months, I finally decided to purchase a engine off a vette they had with only 30k miles. Ben showed me the vehicle and allowed me to hear the engine before it was removed, no other yard allowed this. The engine was removed and delivered on time. My mechanic was very pleased with the engine and most important I am extremely happy with the car running again. Today I came over for a door panel for the same car.Always have a great experience working with the staff here. Very knowledgable and the prices are great. They have exactly what I need and inventory many parts across different car manufacturers. Recommended!!
I was referred to German and Korean Auto Parts by the mechanic shop next door to us. Extremely helpful and polite, they did enforce all current COVID regulations as expected. They sourced a wonderful salvaged engine which is currently running without any problems. At the time of installation we noticed there were one time use bolts which we needed to buy; said bolts were out of stock at our local dealership, German auto ordered them for us on a 48h shipping.
About a month a ago my Infiniti G35 started knocking so I called a couple places to inquire about a VQ35DE, luckily for me the guys at German, Korean, and Japanese auto parts were able to help me with that, not only that they also gave me a pretty competitive price compared to other places. They have amazing customer service, especially Gerardo, I will be going with these guys in the future as well as recommend them to all my friends and family! Now my G is back to normal and better than ever!!
Easy and fast process; outstanding customer care and communication. We bought an used engine for our Hyundai, mechanic was very impressed about the condition of the engine. The engine was installed by our family mechanic and its working great. One thing id like to point out is that we received the engine professionally packaged and ready to be installed, we did not have to buy anything extra.
The staff is very respectful and very helpful. They were able to handle 4 customers at the same time between 2 counterman. While I was waiting, I was offered refreshments. I’m here for a jaguar motor, I saw the motor online and it looks just as advertised.Unfortunately, the engine did not fit in the back of my Tahoe, but I got a free delivery from them for Monday. This auto parts rocks !!
I do business with German auto for many years. I own German import auto repair shop and always get many engine and parts from Huntington Beach German auto. They’re awesome and very gentleman
Words cannot describe how helpful German auto was to me. Initially, I purchased an used bmw 328 from Craigslist and the engine started failing about 2 weeks later. It was not easy to find a good engine, until I found German auto parts through car-part.comI was shown multiple engines and even a couple complete cars to source an engine from.We decided to buy a floor unit for a price that was well under market value for this kind of engine. German also assisted us with getting a good mechanic to fix our car and swap the used engine in.Today, I got my car back and it’s working just as it should. This is my only mode of transportation so I’m just very satisfied. It’s been journey.It felt like going to my families business, it didn’t feel like just a transaction.
I usually don’t do reviews, but I was impressed with the quality and service from this place.Ordered a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta transmission for my wife’s vehicle, the transmission arrived in excellent shape, we did not even have to drain the old fluid, no half way cut wiring, no broken parts. My mechanic installed the transmission without any kind of issues, now my wife’s car runs better than ever. We never noticed how much difference a 30k miles transmission could do on a vehicle with 120k miles. I’d like to express my gratitude towards everyone at German Korean auto. They made the process easy and smooth.
Yesterday, I received a call from a sales rep from German auto asking me if I was satisfied with the used transmission I had purchased. Little details like that are the things that make a business stand out. My cars running beautifully!
Excellent service, completely satisfied. This is the second time we order an engine from this place. Both times the motors have been just great. Prices are more than fair compared to most shops here in SoCal. Delivery was fast.
Got my 330i engine for my 2001 still running strong 💯 and it’s been a year
Returning customer here, I’m happy and satisfied with their parts. So far, I have purchased engines and electric parts. Today we purchased an exhaust system for an infinity. All good, top quality.
They actually have what they say they have. Most dismantlers will say that they have what youre looking for, ask for a deposit or full payment, and then BEGIN to try and find your part. I called, they said they got it, got it paid and picked up the next morning. Engine is in great condition. Thank you.
Good environment, the staff is very helpful n friendly, thumbs up guys
No other word other than perfection. I and my families have come here countless times. Besides from the great service, everyone was very friendly and caring about what I needed. Everyone was experts and know what they are doing, and very affordable.
My friends here have helped me with countless parts for all my car sales. From engines, transmissions to tail lights and so on. I’m very grateful to have them on my side. They’re very knowledgeable and fast!
My new engine for my Tucson runs better than new. I got a good good deal. Good prices
My friends at German Korean auto helped me out finding an engine for my Mercedes. He saved me hundreds of dollars and I skipped searching so much. Now I get to enjoy my labor weekend with my car fully running. I’m very grateful to have this fantastic team
Hands down the best shop to purchase motors and other auto parts for your vehicle. The staff is very knowledgeable and are always kind. I would recommend GKA if you are looking to find a killer deal on parts for your car.
Love these guys, always helping me with all the parts I need for my shop. They are reliable and always solve the problems I have. Problem solving is priority in business.
Great customer service from Gerardo & Ivan! Always helping me out with parts I need on my Genesis! Would 10/10 recommend anyone to go if you’re looking for parts!
This is going to be my third time buying from this business. I usually deal with Mike for any parts that I need. Recently we did a powertrain engine swap in our weekend BMW 325i, we were able to source a fully running 330i engine from german Korean auto. Engine worked just fine, no issues whatsoever. Mike also helped me to troubleshoot the software to support a larger displacement.
My experience with this parts shop was above and beyond perfect. I got a santa fe engine from them, they took care of everything to make sure I was satisfied with the service and parts. My customer is also very happy
My friends at German Korean always go above and beyond for me and my business. During this tough times they have helped me so much making sure we get our cars ready for sale. I’m very grateful to have them in my team.
My engine on my 2020 q50 blew up at the track. I met jerry over there as well. He told me I could come over to his shop and look at some motors. Finally, we decided on where to take this build and they built me a new 3.0 motor to hold a bit more boost without sacrificing reliability. The motor is now pushing north of 500hp.
The owners are very understanding, they will work with you, I explained to them about being a bit low on funds and I was able to get a discount.
Oh they have a nice customer services & they do the best to help you or finding you what are you looking for. This time Ben help me out Very good job Ben. 👍
Excellent service; gentleman at the front office walked me through the store to pick and choose the drivetrain parts I was looking for. Recommend to friends and family
Ben is so nice. Always give me best prices for engine and all part.
I’m very satisfied with the engine and transmisión combo I purchased from German Auto. Originally, I over revved my motor and destroyed the complete drivetrain. I saw the car at their location and I ordered the engine and gear box on Monday and they delivered as promised on Wednesday. After the install was done, the engine had no leaks or any kind of issues. I found them through car-part.com. Parts were clean, customer service was excellent.
Amazing place they sell you good working parts not like other dismantling Places like nuway in wilmington … Ben is a great guy I recommend going here for good working parts look for ben !
I purchased a BMW Engine from this shop 2 months ago and it has worked perfectly I definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to buy parts!
Purchased a couple transmissions from them for my toyotas, both transmissions were great. Theyre running super good and Im happy to have both cars back running.
Extremely satisfied with the pre owned engine. Service was helpful and fast, no complaints. Everything promised was delivered
German wrecking yard is out of this world. I drove down to huntington for a set of turbos for my 335i and found basically a car meet there. Crazy fast cars and wonderful people. This guy on a Camero lit up the streets!!!! Its at the end of a street so not much trouble if you have some car fun. Jerry hooked me up with some Vargas used turbos and a used vrsf intercooler. Im planning to come back for injectors whenever I can.
High quality salvaged parts, many latest model bmw and even m sport f30s.
I just got a veloster engine. Engine runs great
My son got an engine for my Kia Optima from them because my engine broke down because I didn’t put oil. My new engine runs great on top of that, they gave me brand new floor mats for free!! I also got a couple shirts for free!
Be careful! I went in to get a transmission advertised on car-part for $799. The guy Alex with blonde hair printed an invoice for $800, a $100 core charge to recycle the old part since they don’t rebuild, and insisted the tax rate was about 9% or $88(the city hall of HB told me over the phone it was in fact 7.75%. Later they slammed the door on me and said they refuse to sell me anything. As I wrote this report they reopened the door reduced the tax to $62 then said the part was just sold to BMW of Long Beach though the dealer would never buy a used anything from them. All lies from Mike and Alex Watch Out American people.
Theyre always my go to for any engines and transmissions. I always send them customers and they are always happy!! Recently they sold me a great engine for my Kia Sorento. Its working perfect and i can keep my business going. Thank you so much.
They were able to find difficult parts to fix my sons car at a very low/reasonable price!
After searching for a transmission for my Kia Optima and only coming up to ridiculously expensive ones elsewhere, I came across this shop and found a good unit here. Had it delivered to my local shop for a small fee and the transmission shop I commissioned to do the repair remarked that the mileage stated by GKA was accurate based off the condition from the pre-inspection. So far so good, havent had any strange issues with my transmission since it was installed.
I bought a 2ZZ engine for my Celica GTS and couldn’t be happier. I spoke to Jerry and within the next day I had the engine ready to be installed. No surprises whatsoever! Have been running the engine on a daily for over a month now and it runs great. Also passed smog no problem. Overall I’m very satisfied and highly recommend them.
Reccomend 100% - good parts, very good price compared to other yards. They dont play games. Im for sure coming back again for more parts
About a week ago, my bmw 323 started having issues with the transmission. Ben at German figured out which transmission I needed and sold me a transmission that works 100%. Totally recommend to friends and family
Last month my BMW 335 decided to quit and throw a rod. Jerry helped me so much from showing me many engines to finding a mechanic for me, Im very happy with everything.
Bought a Honda Pilot engine, shop took excellent care of me
Always good and clean engines for me and good price
Purchased a Mini Cooper fuse box, the guys were very helpful. Thank you
Amazing customer service, and definitely be back for more parts!!
They’re always willing to help me when Im in need. We run a small repair shop next door and the guys at German always let me surf for small bits and pieces!
Will not buy from them again. Their customer service reps are very nice, but they tell you its one price then find out its actually more than what they quoted. Let me explain. I called for an engine and the initial pricing sounds good until they start hitting you with core fees and they quote shipping and its not anywhere close to what the shippers quote. I was quoted 300 max by the sales rep for shipping to VA and the shippers said it would be over 400.00 and if I needed a lift gate it would be even more. We are in VA and I am not shipping a core back to Cali. What was really upsetting was the shipping fees after the fact and being told that if we used the lift gate when it gets here wed be charged extra. There is also a million things that have to be signed electronically and cant even get one of the items to open right now in email. The sales reps need to get with their shipping department when making quotes to give accurate pricing in the future.
Paid a premium price for a supposedly low mileage motor. Came to find out that it was indeed not a low mileage motor and that it burns oil at a rapid rate.For me personally this was a financial travesty with zero recourse.How do these people live with themselves?
Satisfied with the parts and the service. 10 starts
Mr. Ivan is the man at German Korean! Hooked me up with a crazy deal on a bunch of front end parts for my Kia
Avery happy With the engine i purchsed
My car broke down a couple days ago, it was difficult to find a certain engine part since my engine is European made. German got it for me under 48 hours.
If I could give them 0 stars I would. This company has lied to us on many occasion about product price and delivery. Ownership really needs to look into these guys working the counters very unprofessional very rude over promise and under deliver.
I bought an engine for my 06 BMW and it was in excellent condition. This is a great place to buy good parts at a fair price. Overall, this place has really good customer service and i would definitely recommend it.
Honest, & friendly! 👍🏻
DO NOT BUY HERE. if you wanna throw your money in garbage go ahead, I purchased a transmission from them, they said it only has 40k on it . What a lie . They lie about the Mileage just to get your money. What a shame. This business should get shut down. Even tho transmission is bad they still don’t wanna take it back, and give me my money back.
Sold us and engine with a cracked that leaked oil, and said it wasnt their problem.
Good engines and trans
Excellent customer service
Excellent communication, parts condition and delivery. Coast to coast one of the best car part businesses Ive ever had the pleasure working with.
Unreliable and dishonest with their business
Large variety of parts, huge warehouse
Went to buy some parts for my genesis coupe that I needed and saw that they’re prices were steals compared to their competitors. Ivan was really helpful over messaging, right when I got there he already had everything ready which made the whole process very fast and simple like it should be. First but not last time going here for parts.
Dont purchase anything with this thieves they only want cash. Will not give an invoiceThey gave the wrong part and did not want to give my money backPaid 550 for a cooling system for a 2011 bmw the idiot gave a part for a 2010 bmw. And it was my fault what clowns
DO NOT PURCHARSE ANYTHING HERE, they are good at taking your money but when it comes to returns they will not return your part, exchange, or give your money back. They have been giving me so many excuses. I am done dealing with them . I will report them to the bar.
Good attitude
Due to reviews I called and asked for any information that will confirm engine mileage (vin) and they hung up on me, I thought it was my phone but they kept hanging up (attempted 3x). Shady business, I would stay away
This place is great! Lots of good bmw parts! Very nice staff! Prices are very fair and reasonable. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to give them a call!
Great Experience, Friendly workers, Time efficient and excellent customer service. Would definitely buy parts from here again.
Recomend for Motors
Received a great deal on some car doors I picked up today. Customer service was excellent, my friend and I who picked up the doors left feeling like friends with their store and workers. I highly recommend them for your auto part needs, I know I’ll be returning for whatever I need next !
My experience with German and korean parts was excellent. I was able to get an engine with only 25000 miles for my GENESIS COUPE. Engine ran super good, also the engine arrived spotless clean which made it super easy to install. Looks brand new, runs like never before.
Great customer service, very friendly environment. Iv been looking for parts for my BMW, no one really had it or it was very expensive. But German& Korean auto had many of the parts I was looking for and they gave me an amazing price. Great place to find parts for your car, “highly recommended”.
This team sold me an awesome BMW 535i Twin Turbo engine at a great price. The quality and condition of the engine was excellent. The price was significantly better than anyone in the USA. I checked many places and no one could have given me a better engine or a better deal. I installed engine and it ran great on first try. Instantly passed smog with great readings. Thank you to Nader, Ivan, and one young guy that I did not catch his name.
These guys are legit!! I came here looking for some part for my genesis coupe and at first I was skeptical but Gerardo helped me out and assure me about the quality of the parts and after I installed them I could say that I wasn’t disappointed, this place is the best when it come to getting what you need especially if your on a budget! I suggest you check them out you won’t regret it.
Gerardo and the team are great! I came in looking for some replacement parts for my BMW and Gerardo was extremely helpful.Very knowledgeable of his inventory, excellent communication and was able to get my parts taken care of quickly and efficiently. Ive recommended a handful of friends to come here and have had similar experiences.Hard to get good customer service these days, but Gerardo delivered!This is my first Google review but these guys were worth it.
Friendly service
The guy really worked w me on parts.The yards in Sunland are getting a little spoiled.I own body shops so Im always looking for a great deal and well today he gave me two doors (2015 Kia Soul ) a hundred dollars cheaper than his competition whom wouldnt budge on their prices so I reckon I found me a new buddy old pal old friend of mine! Heee-Haaaw!!!Well, Ill be.Dagnabbet!
WILL RECOMMEND! Purchased an Audi motor from GERMAN auto, very pleased with the service and quality of the replacement engine. After the installation I took my vehicle to my local Audi dealer for routine maintenance and my service advisor was impressed by the quality of the motor. The guys at GERMAN KOREAN are the best. Ask for Ivan if you prefer to speak Spanish. He will answer all your questions!
Jerry was berry Vrofessional and khada very uplifting communication skills aside the social distancing he provided but kept it professional as if there was no virus
I drove from Southern Utah to pick up a motor from them. They helped me with the price because I drove so far and we’re incredibly helpful. Highly recommend this business.
To Summarize - BEST IN THE BUSINESS. Gerardo will go above and beyond to make sure his customers are taken care of. I have messaged the business 4 hours after closing and gotten a response. Gerardo does his best to make sure that the parts I want will actually work for me and if I ever have an issue, he will find a way to make it right.I have been buying parts from Gerardo for over 2 years now. Everything from small trim pieces to engine and he has never disappointed. I have referred him to my repair shop who were buying parts elsewhere and now they will only do business with Gerardo.Gerardo and his team go out of their way to find the correct part and are extremely fair with pricing. I have never had to shop around for pricing because I know I am getting the best service in town.German & Korean will always be my first phone call if I or anybody I know need a part for their car.
Best
I would recommend to all friends and family. Im a returning customer. German Auto has always been my place to go for replacement parts for any or my cars. I just purchased a BMW 3 series engine from them and the car is running better than ever! Theyre great at what they do! Wouldnt hesitate to buy another.Thanks, Evan Renka
Literally the best experience I have ever had. Gerardo was super friendly and helpful. Got me the part I need super fast and the price was the most competitive that I found. All of there parts are quality and are in great condition.I also need a part for my moms car, and the didnt have it. Gerardo let me know that he will get that part for me, and just as he said, a week later he called me and it arrived. Definitely recommend him to anyone!
Best experience within the auto industry. Its hard to find a place with great customer service. When my car breaks down Im already dreading the expense, Im expecting to pay a high price for the most basic parts with an extensive amount of mileage, however this wasnt the case. A lot of people recommended German Auto for their cars so I wanted to check it out for myself. My Hyundai sadly broke down on me and Jerry helped me get the right part with low mileage. Just wanted to thank German auto and Jerry for their customer service and quality part.
I bought my Audi and BMW engines from them, both engines were just perfect. My family has been sourcing parts from German Korean for years. Thank you
This place has great service! I picked up a motor for my Mini Cooper s, and the experience was incredibly hassle free thanks to their amazing employees! Their pricing is great and now my car runs as smooth as ever! I’d like to thank everyone at this establishment for giving me the best experience I’ve had yet! I will be recommending this business to all my friends and family!
Bad company, rude employees
Awesome customer service, great prices, and low mile engine. Everything turned out great. Will definitely be back.
3rd time is the charm for a review!What can I say, they always seem to have the parts I want without a high cost. Throw in free delivery to my house and you really have no issue other than trying to reach them when the phones are ringing non-stop!I will gladly come back here time and time again to ensure that they keep doing what they do, and enjoy the low-mileage and tough to find parts that would be pulled instantly at a pick-a-part.Thank you Gerardo!
