Josh is very knowledgeable, fast, professional, and a mechanical standout. He has worked on my Audi several times. He is probably the best mechanic Ive ever been to, and definitely the fairest when it comes to price, and the quality of service is top notch!

Audi 3.0L A6 (C7.5) - Front and rear brakes/rotor replacement. Car stops like a dream again. Excellent experience, Josh is knowledgeable and takes the time to talk things out. Fair pricing and good communication. Highly recommended for any local Audi owner.

Josh is super knowledgeable. I had a weird quirky issue when having new brakes installed and he was the only one that properly figured out what the problem was and corrected it. I highly recommend him.

I ordered a part for my car from here and had it shipped to Utah for me. The packaging on the part was the best I have seen. Ever. The part arrived early and exactly the condition as described. 10/10 would order from here again.

I highly recommend Independent German Autos. Wouldn’t take my Mini anywhere else. Josh’s knowledge, experience and attention to detail is second to none. He gives solid, sound advice and has saved me a lot of time and money over the passed 6 years.

Josh does excellent work. He is thorough and very knowledgeable. I took my Audi to him for suspension work and he discovered a possible warranty issue with a leaking water pump. He recommended I take to dealer for inspection and sure enough there was a bad water pump covered under warranty. He is fair and did a fast job. Highly recommend.

There is NO ONE I would trust more with my vehicles. You will not find a more capable, honest, and knowledgeable mechanic in the area. Period. If you doubt my words, go to the others first and get a diagnosis and estimate, then go see Josh. You’ll see just how much they misdiagnose and overcharge. He is truly a gem, and you will not be disappointed.

Honest. Top notch extremely knowledgable, we have a VW and BMW . He wont take you for a ride with unnecessary repairs, takes time to explain so you really understand. Doesnt pad his prices and if its more than expected he gives the heads up, hes out to make a living but has honest bones. Will always recommend him no one else but him.

Josh is truly the expert you want when you are having issues with your vehicle. He extremely knowledgeable and can usually diagnose issues quickly and accurately while other mechanics are guessing based purely on any CEL codes you have. Additionally, his prices are reasonable and fair, and he wont try to rip you off for service you dont need. He will only suggest future service you may need down the road based on what he sees & milage on your vehicle. Its rare to find an honest mechanic these days, but Josh is definitely in that category.

Josh is very skilled at what he does and helped me trouble shoot many problems on my Audi a4. He is honest about a repair that alone is hard to find now days with a mechanic and reasonably priced. He does quality work and highly recommend him .

I was very pleased with the professional service I experienced today with Josh. He took the time to explain my vehicles idiosyncrasies. He is very thorough and gave me a good feeling that he is concerned about my safety as well as the automobiles performance. I feel that I can put my 09 VW Beetle on the road and go anywhere I desire. Thanks Josh.

I have been taking my 10 Jetta to Josh for oil changes and when something funky is going on with the engine. He is a great resource and I completely trust his expertise and honesty.

I had a couple of cooling fans on my Jetta replaced by Josh at Independent German Auto. Hes very meticulous and recommended only what was necessary. He also saved me money compared to what the dealer was trying to charge me. Ill be using him instead of the dealer from here on out.

Recently moved to MI and was delighted to find Josh...he has now worked on my car 3 times in the 3 months i have been here, fixing things that have needed to be done for a couple of years but i neglected because i wasnt going to pay key west prices...he is impressively knowledgeable about all things porsche, does great work at very fair prices, and is a super nice guy as well...my cayenne is 13 years old, and i am hoping Josh can keep it going for another 13 years! thanks Josh!

I highly recommend Independant German Auto for your automotive needs. Josh was great to deal with and is very knowledgable. Recently I went to several tire dealers to inquire if they could mount and balance my tires on my 1961 VW beetle. I found that most all tire dealers could no longer balance the “wide five” rims, however Josh has an adaptor making it possible to do the spin balancing.Josh did a great job and his pricing was reasonable. I highly recommend his service.

Brought my IS20 swapped Alltrack for an overboosting issue. Helped me confirm/dispel what I thought the issues were for components I could not get to on my own. Josh is a stand up guy with a knack for research, learning, and teaching his customers every step of the way to lessen the trauma of a downed car. Cannot get that kind of service at VW in Melbourne. Thank you Josh, will be back for fun stuff

Josh has helped me complete numerous projects on my 2003 truck. His honesty, combined with his expertise and work ethic, has helped me with the preventative maintenance and upkeep of my vehicle.A true professional at what he does, I wouldnt go anywhere else and refer all my friends and family to him.

All I can say is, Wow! Josh has brought my 05’ VW Phaeton (175,000 miles) back to life! Very honest, hardworking mechanic, saved me thousands of dollars! Replaced timing belt, water pump, all pullies/tensioners. Then at my request, installed new timing chains, valve actuators, valve covers, oil seals, all filters, transmission pan gasket/filter/fluid change. I have put over 1200 miles on it since, w/ a trip to New Orleans! Looked down a couple of times and the speedo was at 110mph, felt like 70mph! Thank you, Josh.

I was just about getting ready to leave on a long road trip with my VW Eurovan when the check engine light came on. Even though Josh was busy, he made time for me. I brought my car so he could run a diagnostic test. Turns out nothing major was wrong. Having lost my gas cap I had replaced it with a cheap one. Josh said we should always have the factory brand to have a proper seal. He was kind and explained everything in details.I very much appreciate that he took the time to sqeeze me in. I will be going back to his garage for sure.Thank you Josh for coing me peace of mind before my trip.

I had Josh change my breaks and oil on my 08 Audi A4. He gave me a better price then the dealer but more importantly Josh is extremely knowledgeable and did a great job.

Review №35

Ive been a Ford F-150 owner since 1997 and have a great mechanic for my truck. Wanted a great solid groundpounder for my Orlando commute from Melbourne. The 2014 Jetta Sportwagon TDI seemed to cover all bases. The biggest area of insecurity to me was continued maintenance and I felt dread when thinking of the dealerships. Thank goodness I read of a local customer praises for Josh on the Internet and I messaged her for a little more feedback as my car wasnt cooling too well. When I called I immediately noticed he was patient.. took time to explain different possibilities that could be causing the problem. My car was getting close to the oil change so I thought Id turn it over to him. Happily the car had a small freon leak only. I felt that Josh was honest as he could have said it was ANYTHING & I wouldnt have been none the wiser. Im holding back on 5 stars for the moment until i need more involved repair but I am happy to know he is there for future maintenance & I can stay away from those dealerships!
