I cant express how professional JV and his team are at their business. The main office is spotless and the shop is organized and clean. I promptly received a easy to read quote both email and text. The pricing was very fair. The turn around time was faster than expected. My Mercedes is running back to normal and my convertible top is fully functional again. I highly recommend German Cars or Sarasota and will continue to have them service my cars.

Took my Mini to German Cars with a whole array of ailments. They thoroughly looked it over and gave me an estimate to fix everything. It was expensive, but I was expecting that. What isnt expensive to fix on a Mini?! Their repair costs were cheaper than the dealership price quote, and they did a great job. They fixed everything it needed (and it was a lot of stuff!) and got me back on the road in three days! J.V. was very respectful, understanding, and considerate. I felt like they truly cared that I was happy and that everything got fixed correctly. Definitely will use them for all my Mini services.

I worked for BMW for 25 years so I’m very familiar with repairs on these cars, they were accurate, timely and honest. I will definitely bring my BMW back for further work.

I had tires put on my 2019 Tesla Model 3. After calling around to a couple of shops I was excited to find out GCOS was able to replace my tires and perform an alignment on my car. The Shop owner treated me like family.

The guys at German cars have always done an excellent job with my 2009 Ben over the past five years. The jobs were finished in record time, work done correctly and less expensive than any dealership, definitely a plus in my book. I highly recommend them to anyone who owns a German manufactured car.

I have been taking my car here for a few years now, after searching high and low for someone who understood and would work on my weird little car. The service is always fantastic, everyone is friendly and helpful. My car has had a number of random issues that these guys quickly diagnosed and fixed, all at a reasonable price. It now runs better than when I bought it (much faster too).

Have used numerous times in past and always have had an outstanding experience with all the team.This time was no exception. They found the problem with the car (2007) and called Mercedes and found the problem was under warranty. They towed it to Mercedes. NOW what do you think any other repair shop would have done with a car that’s 14 years old? German Cars of Sarasota are ethical and honest people. We will always use and recommend them.R & J

I had a simple issue with a panel that came loose on the door frame. The courtesy I was shown was exceptional. They had to order the part which only took a few days. Service was quick and I am still impressed with the pleasant, helpful staff. Thank you

German Cars of Sarasota is the best car repair shop that I have ever used for my Mercedes. The good people at GCOS are fair, honest, and fast, all while treating me like family. On my last repair they went out of their way to keep me informed on their progress and then made it easy for me to pick up my car outside of normal business hours. What a great shop!

Anyone that owns a Mini needs to go to German Cars of Sarasota. We have a 2005 and a after several expensive visits to a dealer, our neighbor told us about these guys. They quickly identified the problem (very minor) and fixed it at a very reasonable rate. We have always been very pleased with their knowledge, straightforward answers and explanations at a very reasonable rate. The A/C stopped cooling and they charged it up, saying then that there might be a small leak. Months later, they were right. Replaced the condenser. Since they just charged the A/C not too long before, they wanted to credit the cost of the fluid. Like I stated, very reliable and special people.

Theres not many words that can express my gratitude towards the guys at German Cars of Sarasota. I called the shop one depressing afternoon after my baby(car) was flooded. My car had zero sign of life, and it was pretty evident I needed a new engine. After being turned down by various other shops, my hopes were depleting as I started to think it may not even be worth saving. Lee from German Cars answered my phone call and issued me some relief. They accepted to take on the extensive job and were able to handle everything through insurance. This was the beginning of a very long journey as there was no straight path to completion. Multiple things went wrong, many people were uncooperative, and the add-on of an “covid” environment surely did not better the situation. However, through it all and a couple months of time, my car was brought back to life. Theres not much of a larger job you can ask of a technician/mechanic than an engine replacement. Especially an engine that went for a swim. A job that could have easily cost >50k and could have potentially totaled my car, ended up costing around half that. I tried not to be up Lee’s butt as much as I can, but I could not have asked for a better communicator as he kept me informed every step of the way. Rex, Sean, and the rest of team are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, as they clearly know what they are doing. I am extremely grateful and happy that I have a team of guys that I know I can rely on. Seriously. THANK YOU GUYS!

Review №26

I went here to see about getting my AC compressor replaced. I told them the AC compressor broke and even had the piece that broke off with me, I still had to pay a $135 diagnostic fee for them to tell me what I already knew and what I already told them about. Then they quoted me over $2,000 dollars for the repair which is outrageous. Not only that but, the parts quotes were extremely high. The AC compressor they quoted me for was $768 and the AC drier was quoted for $246. I took my car back and found the same exact OE parts for $295 and $25, respectively online. Theres no valid reason for that enormous price difference for the same OE parts. I would not recommend this shop to anyone who values their money, they are a rip off.

Review №28

Ive had my cars serviced here on at least 4 occasions and the last 2 visits have been less than satisfactory. Previous one was for a battery replacement and, having booked in advance, I arrived to find they hadnt obtained the battery so had to wait as they searched and found one in another location. This time I booked for service and since I dont have a ride, I confirmed I would wait, as I have done on previous occasions. I turned up to find they were very busy and said the needed the car for the better part of the day which since I didnt have a pick up, didnt work for me. They denied that I had said Id wait. In the words of the owner Im 100% sure that if you said you would wait it would be written downThink about that for a moment. He was essentially saying that, not only did I not specify Id wait when I booked, but also he knew for a fact that the person doing the booking wouldnt have said anything about how long they would need the car. He also knows the scheduler wouldnt have asked whether I would be waiting or returning later and wouldnt have pointed out that, if I didnt say Id wait, they would assume low priority and the car wouldnt be available until late in the day? How likely is it that the scheduler would be so incompetent as to say none of those things? Mistakes happen and it would have been acceptable if the owner simply said there had been a mix up without assigning blame. Instead he basically called me a liar.

I would rate 10 stars if I could. My parents have brought their cars in over the years and now I am, too. You can expect a professional, clean, and honest experience every time, making a less than enticing situation much more pleasurable. The guys are awesome and will go above and beyond to help. I couldnt trust them any more than I already do with my BMW. German Cars of Sarasota, I owe a huge thank you to your outstanding service, every time.

First time using German Cars for service as an alternative to the dealer. Pleasant staff was very helpful. They promptly took my car at the scheduled time while I waited for the service appointment. Explained some minor issues needed attention and fixed everything up in a timely manner. Definitely my go to garage for future maintenance and service!

Driving my sl 55 amg to sarasota, I developed a serious problem with my ABC pump in southern alabama. after 2 to MB dealers, I continue to add fluid to the system to keep car running. My son contacted YL at german cars and he knew exactly what the problem was. I drove the car directly there, they helped arrange a rental vehicle, took me to Enterprise, and fixed my vehicle working overtime to get my car done before I flew back home.Trustworthy, honest, reliable, professional; all these embody how I feel about German Cars of Sarasota.They definitely have a new lifetime customer in me and I highly recommend them

Very great service I brought my BMW X3 to flush brake fluids very good price for it. 2 weeks after that my car had thermostat issue I took it into German Cars and they found that my car still had manufactured warranty for the thermostat and that I could get it for free at the BMW dealer, they were kind enough and very honest to let me know about my warranty. I would definitely bring my X3 to German Cars of Sarasota for my car services (oil change etc). Very Professional would recommend. Thank you 🙏🏻

Rex and is team at German Cars of Sarasota were an absolute pleasure to work with! They came highly recommended by a friend, so I drove down from St. Pete and brought in my 2018 Mercedes GLC 43 AMG for a tune, and I couldnt be happier with it! From the communication, to the quality of service, the pricing, the turn-around time -- and just the entire experience all-around was PERFECT. My car is now 75hp faster and the tune also added 105+ lb/ft torque, so the only one complaining is my wife when I gun it onto the I-275 ramp and she gets minor whiplash now. :)Thanks Rex and staff!

Review №40

Very, very disappointed. I had been referred here by 2 different people (1 business and 1 individual). The experience started out great and I thought I had found a good group to work with.That is, until I went to pick the car up. Theyre pricing was slightly below the dealer, but I didnt mind because everyone seemed to be on the ball. When picking the car up I was surprised to find that my bill was $120 more than I was told the repair would be.Obviously, I questioned the $120 and was told it was because they had to check out the car. Ive never paid to have a car inspected, but i do understand that as a business that they can charge whatever they want. The issue is that you need to disclose this up front. You cant just stick a charge at the end.They kept the fee on and wouldnt take it off, despite not telling me. Ive let both referral sources know how I was treated and they will no longer be sending customers to this business. I hope deceptively taking $120 was worth it.

Review №43

If you own a Mercedes or a BMW and live in Sarasota or Manatee County, you’re in luck because you have an honest and skilled shop to maintain and repair your car. I would think twice about owning a BMW or a Mercedes if German Cars weren’t around to service them. I take my cars there for everything from the routine — regular maintenance or a tire alignment — to the more unusual and specialized like replacing the electronics when a jug of antifreeze breaks open and floods them. The prices are reasonable, and the people — Rex, Lee and Sean — are friendly and excellent at explaining what needs to be done. I’ve been a customer for several years, and I don’t anticipate that changing as long as I drive a German car.

Review №44

When the dealership gave me a repair quote of $15,000 I cried. I called Rex at German Cars and he calmly told me he would do whatever he could to help me. Rex and crew did thorough diagnostics, and determined the many of the repairs the dealership suggested were not necessary. The total cost was $3000 and Rex and German Cars will have my business for life. Thank you all for your honesty, integrity and professionalism. This is why I bought a Mercedes and I am so happy to have found a you. Thank you

Review №46

I was an out-of-town visitor when my 2008 BMW 328i began to act sporadically.After contacting two other highly rated repair shops, I was advised to contact these folks. I called and spoke with one of the managers, Rex. He indicated he would try to fit me in if I brought the car in. 1/2 hour after arriving my car was in the shop. Shortly after that they had it diagnosed and had a repair scenario. Everything went better than expected and I would highly recommend this shop for any any repair on any European car.As I waited for my repair to be completed, I heard Rex speaking with several clients on the phone where he gave honest information about what and when he could make repairs.

As usual, the attention to detail and their “covid” concern was awesome. I couldn’t put off the oil change and service any longer so I was thrilled they could fit me right in.

This is THE BEST place I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with! They were extremely prompt, friendly, professional, and took care of my car like I take care of it. No grease, mudges or “shop” issues. They had my car repaired and on the road in 3 hours!!!!!! They also saved me $1800 for my repair versus going to the dealer. They are a true find! I wish EVERY repair shop was as awesome as they are. In short, you can not go wrong this this place! I have already recommended them to three friends and I will continue to recommend them u til the cows come home!!!!! 😄😃😃😃😄

Two days ago we started out to do shopping and our 2004z4 would not start.During these trying times we are going through it is difficult to get services you need because of the emergency state we are in.I have been servicing my BMW with German Car and was always happy with their response. Once again they came through and really went out their way to get me going.Rex came to my buildings parking garage on the 6th floor with diagnostic tools and anew battery if needed. He replaced the battery and solved the problem. This is not the usual service they offer this is beyond the call of duty. Thanks

We no longer have our BMW. This review is based on past experience and they deserve time spent to offer a 100% positive review. Honesty and integrity is something they value. Please do yourself a good measure by checking them out. Service was always on time and professional. They recognize the importance of fair value with excellent service. Even if you do not have a reason, stop in and meet them. When you need service you can trust, they will be there to help.

MINI Cooper S (R56) with long history of supposed ECU issue (previously got a new one) spark plugs immediately dying, and more bull while in GA. Finally came back to FL and found this place. They were able to fix issues, found that our former mechanic was wrong, and left feeling so relieved that I can drive without worrying anymore!

Review №57

It doesnt get any better than these guys. My husband has had his 03 Mini-Cooper S serviced there twice. He insisted I post his experience. The Staff and Mechanics were great. Unlike both dealerships in the area he wasnt treated like a rube for having an older vehicle and harassed about trading it in for a NEW vehicle. They were informative, helpful, and gave him advice that lowered his cost and did a fantastic job in a timely manner. The property, garage, and waiting area are just as upscale as a dealership, without the snobbery. Located in a nice, safe area. Oh, and an oil change is less money than at a chain store run by untrained minimum wage employees. Try them. Youll leave happy and become a regular like we have.

Review №58

When we moved to FL we searched for an independent shop that had the expertise to service our BMW properly, a good reputation and qualified mechanics. German Cars of Sarasota looked like the best candidate. Even though it was a little far away for us, we gave them a chance and never regretted it. When we shopped for a fun car we ended up with a Porsche—and felt fortunate that we had another make serviced by German Cars.Recently an unlucky incident made it necessary for us to buy another car; the owner and staff took the time to discuss the advantages and drawbacks of various models that we were considering. Now we have a Mercedes and the team in Sarasota is headed into their sixth year as our mechanics.If you want your Mercedes, Mini, BMW or Porsche to receive quality, knowledgeable service, from people who really like these cars, I recommend giving German Cars of Sarasota an opportunity to prove themselves.

Review №59

What a professional team! Its never fun when your car needs to go in for a repair, but having someone to take it to that you know you can trust and will be honest with you makes it so much easier...thats hard to find! My BMW is 15 years old so having a place to take it to when it needs attention is important. I went to two other foreign car repair shops with less than satisfactory results before I found this one....these guys are top notch!

1988 Mercedes Benz 560SL, 59,000 miles. This car was recently serviced at another German car specialist in Sarasota not to my satisfaction. Brought the car to German Cars of Sarasota and just picked it up this afternoon. Rex and his team are great diagnosticians. Found the problems and repaired them quickly and at what I consider a fair price. I also have a list of items that need to be addressed and made an appointment to go back next month and get this classic into shape. I would not hesitate to recommend German Cars to anyone who needs service.

Yep: just finished a 10k National Park Tour. German Cars of S is an outstanding alternative to MB Dealership. These guys are honest, straightforward, and DO NOT try to upsell you on unnecessary Service/Repairs (as does the MB Sarasota Dealership). Their work is first rate; there is no need to hesitate taking your car to this shop. Do It!!

Review №63

As a long time buyer of older German cars, I have been to many independent shops across the country. German Cars of Sarasota is among the best of the best. They know cars, they know customer service. Long term customers are treated like family and new customers are warmly welcomed into that family. Special mention to Tyler who worked hard to get me in to their very busy schedule. If you are not under warranty and going to the dealer, come here. You wont be sorry. An update; my beloved CLK has gone to that great junkyard in the sky through my carelessness in crashing it. I replaced it with a pig in a poke E420 and Rex, Lee and the team have done a phenomenal job of sorting it out. When was the last time you heard of a car tech NOT putting in a pricey part and saving you significant money? Rex, you truly are a Master Tech and your integrity has earned my gratitude and loyalty. German car people your hard earned money is spent here wisely and well.

These guys are the best. Period. Rex, Lee and the crew run a clean, expert shop with integrity and grace. I trust them with all of my cars, mostly German muscle cars -- performance machines where their track experience and integrity are invaluable. I have to check myself sometimes, for wanting to bring cars from other states to have them work on them. But its all good. I sleep easy at the end. Rexs view is, Well if you insist on driving the cars all around the US ... this is what I would do if it was my car. And I so insist. So yeah, trust these guys.

Tyler, Lee and the entire staff of German Cars of Sarasota are hands down a class act. They not only have the best working knowledge of high end European automobiles in the area, but they take customer service to a level not regularly seen. They take the time to answer all of my questions and ensure my understanding of the systems Im paying to have repaired or serviced and their integration in the driving experience. Their recommendations have saved me thousands over the last few years with my everyday drivers, back ups and the toys. Despite ones level of enthusiasm expect expert advise and top tier customer service!

I own a 2007 BMW 335Ci with only 27k miles on it. The engine started to make an awful noise. Turns out a bearing for the crankshaft was failing. Why a bearing would fail in a car with only 27k miles is a long story. Suffice is to say I will never have my car serviced at an official BMW dealer ever again. I dealt with Lee. He and his team did a great job diagnosing the problem and its probable root cause. Then they found a solution that was thousands of dollars less expensive than the local BMW dealer. The car runs great now. We will only go the German Cars of Sarasota for service from now on.

Last week I was out running errands and my 328i wouldnt start. I was aware of German Cars but hadnt used them, and the AAA tow truck driver suggested them as a nearby option. They were extremely busy but somehow made time for me with no appointment. They have Hertz rentals at a great price, and I drove one away within an hour. The very next day my car was ready, and it started up like brand new. The service was extremely helpful and empathetic, the price surely beat the dealership, and the quality of work will bring me back again the next time my car needs service. These guys are great.

Lee Miller and crew did an excellent job analyzing what my MB SLK 3.2 X-Fire needed for the 60K checkup. They kept the car 2 days and replaced 12 spark plugs, changed the transmission with MB fluid, checked belts and filters, changed the coolant (after keeping the car overnight so the aluminum block would be cold) and not damage the engine.In short they did a very professional job at a fair price and the vehicle runs like it was brand new! Very pleased and will use them for servicing this car.

It’s a pleasure working with these guys.Why? Because they’re honest and reasonable.Example: I had an AC issue. They ordered both a blower motor and a separate resistor/regulator, as is customary with most vehicles. They explained the charges and fixed my AC. However, to my surprise, the staff informed me that Mercedes supplied a resistor with the blower, and, with that, they offered me a $100+ discount, since the part was returnable.They could have kept my money but theyopted to keep the customer (me) happy.In my opinion, if you cannot trust your mechanic, it doesn’t matter if they’re good mechanics or not.I highly recommend German Cars of Sarasota7/2020 updateExcellent Covid19 precautions

I drive from Ft. Myers TO Sarasota to have my 740iL repaired and serviced by them! They are AWESOME. Not a worry here, they are top notch. If you have an Foreign car...these are your guys.

We have been taking our German autos there for years. We know Rex and crew will do whats needed and not make up a laundry list of unnecessary work. Trust AND quality arent an easy combo to find with auto repair. Bravo!

Had AC fan problem with my 2014 Mini Countryman. Car was under warranty and after 12 days at authorized mini dealer service was told that there was nothing wrong with my car. I contacted German Cars of Sarasota and spoke with Lee. Set up immediate service and within 20 minutes they diagnosed the problem. Couldnt rate any higher for vehicle service and customer service. I will NEVER go back to authorized dealer for service now that I have found German Cars of Sarasota.

Total RIP off and dishonest.. you are very dishonest, your worker told me I needed a new housing for bulb, went somewhere else, the bulb was just loose. You gave me a price and ordered a part, when I had part put in, the price was doubled . You use the same lines in your reviews. DISHONEST.$427 for vehicle diagnosis and shut off valve on 6/14 and on 6/16 engine light is back on, had wheel alignment in April, told them its pulling to right, they wanted me to pay for another one. Total RIP total sham

I had a difficult electronics issue with my 3 Series BMW they solved. The gentlemen at German Cars of Sarasota were very responsive, polite and professional. I know that they had numerous (more than 20) hours of diagnostic time in my car due to the nature of the problem but only charged me for a fraction of the time.They even ended up getting a $1500 ECM for my car covered by BMW under an obscure warranty!Did I mention they drove my car to the dealer to have BMW do it under warranty since I was out of town?Great service, fair pricing and an all around 5 star experience!

I recently moved to the Lakewood Ranch area.My check engine light came on and I wanted a diagnostic test done. I called around and it wasnt easy finding anyone who could do it and the dealer wanted me to wait one week just for an appointment. I called German Cars of Sarasota and Tyler said to come right over. They immediately took my car in, ran the test and fixed the problem, for a very fair price..I will recommend German Cars any chance I get and will also use their services in the future.Thank you so much guys!
