Central Valley European is the best! We were stuck in Yosemite and couldnt get our van towed all the way home, so we got it towed as far as Central Valley European in Merced. We were willing to accept that Shane had a waiting list, and that wed have to do the 3 hour drive home, and then back again when the repair was complete. But he surprised us and got us up and running the next morning! We are so grateful for his help and quick service!

This place was great and simply worth it because I don’t have to travel to Modesto or Fresno for service on my BMW. Shane was really kind and very professional will definitely go back to Central Valley European in the future.Thank youTook my BMW for general maintenance again and Shane did a great job in regards to the work and his prices!!! Really LOVE this place. I will definitely take my car back to him in the future.Thanks!!Again Shane is great to take your car to when problems arise! It’s nice to know I have someone who knows how to fix foreign cars like my BMW!

Shane was great. Took nice care of my BMW.

Highly recommend, Best place to get Serviced for great prices!!

Employee knowledge and approach-ability, independent mechanic, and accommodating appointments are why I choose to have my ’09 BMW 5 Series Serviced here. While I have only had my vehicle serviced here several times, I truly felt like my vehicle was in good hands during its’ stay, which is important to me. If you have a Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes Benz, etc., please support this local business so they can continue to provide excellent service and care to the community.

Shane is a great mechanic. Im talking quality service, fair pricing, and honesty. My sister had recently bought a used VW Jetta and we took it to him to have it serviced and checked. I only know basic stuff about cars and I convinced my sister that she needed new motor mounts, but Shane was nice enough show us that her motor mounts were perfectly fine. We were both very appreciative of how straight forward and honest he is.

Very helpful, explained everything to me.Parts were delivered on time. My go to place now for my VW

I guess theyre good they serve as the vehicle for the company I work for theyre friendly fast and efficient Im driving it around right now they did the service on it and also fix the wiring problem we had with the low beam light its a Mercedes-Benz van, so far so good.

I called and a very pleasant gentleman answered and assisted me thoroughly and setting up an appointment to have my Mercedes check out I was unable to I feel my end of the obligation for I did no longer need any mechanic help but from the initial phone call Id have to recommend then thanks

Chris might cost a fortune 2 fix yer jacked up VeDub but @ least hes not cheap..If you lub yer EuroTrash, hell make it gud again.. scratch that... Youll make it better than new but hes not cheap..annnnd ut cost alot tooo..

I received a $2200 repair bill at VW Merced and Euro fixed for a more reasonable price and WERE KINDER, NO UPSELL and I have taken my car back since HAPPILY! They fix every type of car and you can tell are a family business who does quality work for reasonable prices. Skip the snakes at bigger shops where each salesperson is receiving financial benefit from your jacked up bills! Keep up the great work Euro!

Very good customer service. Shane was awesome! He went above and beyond. Definitely will be coming back when services are needed. Thank you! (VWpassat)

Shane is very knowledgeable about European cars Im completely satisfied with professionalism and I highly recommend Central Valley European for all your car needs.🙏

They are professional, honest and friendly excellent service really good shop I definitely will go back an I’ll recommend family an friends thank you Shane

Shane is a Master European car mechanic. He knows his way around them inside and out. Which is what you want if you have an expensive automobile. Hes squeezed me in when my BMW broke down in a parking lot and shredded the drive belt. I believe Shane is always honest about your vehicle even when the news isnt good. Much better prices than the BMW dealership. European vehicles arent cheap to maintain & service, but Central Valley European does a great job and hes always informative about your vehicle. Two thumbs up !!

This is my second time going to this shop in less than a year, first time was for my brakes and second was to get my thermostat replaced on my bmw since it caused my check engine light to go on and I gotta say that both times I’ve been extremely satisfied with their work and service. I highly recommend this shop. Thanks again!

They were closed

April 2017 Took my car in for check engine light issue and Shane found electrical short circuit and repaired them. I am happy about it. The M3 is back!. Awesome customer service. Price was reasonable and fair. Will spread the words! Thanks

Took my Mercedes Benz here for some answers but they couldnt help me

Stranded 900 miles from home with a hole in the oil pan. Gave a call do to great reviews. Quick and affordable quote. It was a special order part but within 24 hours parts in, work done and additional leak test just in case. Out the door and on the road. Thank you Shane and the crew at central valley European.

Got my clk fixed there very professional would definitely recommend.

(2021) Mr. Shane Munden replaced auxiliary battery for us. We trust everything about his shop and his work. He prices very fairly and reasonably! We are satisfied and feel good about his service and opinions!Lets help HONEST small business owners like Mr. Mundens shop thrive by using his services as often as we can so his shop will stay to service our vehicles!..............................(2019) Shane is very fair in pricing, polite, & thorough. I HIGHLY recommend them as a Mercedes mechanic.

Love Shane and his employees . He treated me with total respect and a lot of patience especially dealing with my Beamer (white328i) Unfortunately I moved out of merced once I discovered this place . Otherwise I’d be bringing my car back to them. Thank you so much guys!

Shane at Central Valley European exudes integrity. He went above and beyond what I expected. I will definitely be back.

I took my BMW in this morning and met with Shane the owner, he was very friendly, knowledgable, and got the job done excellently. I will definitely be going back from now on to get car services from Central Valley European.

Great trustworthy mechanics, always took care of my BMW 7 series like thier own.

The Team at Central Valley European do quality work. I continue to have my car serviced there.

Best shop in town honest answer and fast on finding out problem in car, took in my 335d BMW losing power when turning my ac, turns out crankshaft pulley was broken they got my car running back soon as possible highly recommended to people out there reading this. I will be coming back to CENTRAL EUROPEAN

Fast efficient service and they dont take advantage of women. Prices are comprable & not over priced

Vanagon failed to start on our way through Merced. Did start the next morning after spending an awesome night at the Quality Inn. Right before it started we had talked to Shane about towing the car to CVE, and he said theres no problem seeing it on short notice, that he could certainly get us on the road that day. We drove by, Shane gave us some much needed assurance that the starter motor was showing signs of wear, but would most likely get us back to Seattle. Super nice guy and good vibe in this shop. If I lived near Merced Id buy an old 2002 because of this shop.

I only have good things to say about Shane and all the staff Ive met. I trust their work and their word, definitely recommend taking your car to a shop that knows these cars- and I would not go anywhere but here.

Great customer service. Definetly would recommend!!

I was very pleased with my service

Good customer service, reasonably priced and competent on imports

I had a very positive experience with Shane and Central Valley European. I recently purchased my first Mercedes, a 2009 CLK550, and noticed a small amount of grease inside the left rear wheel. Within a couple of months, there was a whole lot of grease inside the wheel. I took it to a MBZ dealer in Fairfield, CA and they told me the repairs would be over $2,500. I discovered that another MBZ dealer in Newport Beach, CA had done the same repair 7,000 miles earlier with the previous owner. The dealer in Fairfield was unable to explain to me why the car needed a new axle and boot 7,000 miles later. I was told, Some cars need more maintenance than others. They also charged me $175 for looking at it. The dealership in Newport Beach refused to pay for the repairs because they had done the original repair under goodwill and said there is no warranty on that type of repair. I drove the car home to Merced and contacted Shane at Central Valley European. I made an appointment for Monday morning at 10am and by 4pm the same day I was on the road with a smile on my face. Shane explained in detail how the dealership in Newport Beach had damaged the axle while reinstalling it under warranty. Everyone at Central Valley European was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this shop if you want straight answers and reasonable prices. I love my car again!

Knowledgeable and does great work.

Great people very nice service

Shane goes above and beyond.
