Great service!
I took my daughter’s car for services BMW had recommended and paid a fraction of the cost!

Great exaggeration in labor required to replace cooling system hose.
Either dishonest or poor mechanics IMO. Won’t ever come back
Bert A. from German Auto Center responded on 07/26/2025 03:31 PM

I am truly puzzled by this assessment of the service we provided. BMW cars are very difficult to work on and sometimes the smallest of repairs takes an extraordinary amount of time to complete properly. No matter what shop you visit in order to replace the coolant hose on your vehicle would have required to remove the entire intake system on the engine. We have been working on German cars and servicing the community for over 45 years as many of our other customers reviews have demonstrated we know what we are doing. Thank you for taking the time to review German Auto Center

Fast/Responsible Service
My car was in at 9:00a.m. and back by 4:00p.m. and priced just about right. It is not too hard to try to guess how long and how much it would have been with that unnamed dealership. Thanks German Auto Center for another great service visit.

Quick and Reliable
Service light was on for the brakes of my X1. I was able to get in the next day and out by 3:30pm. Bert is always friendly and honest. I will be back for my next service.

Reliable business
From my experience, this business doesn’t try to upsell you on unnecessary maintenance. They’re up front, do what you ask, and have completed maintenance ahead of schedule.

The noise no one could fix
GAC performed another miracle. My Cayman had an ugly noise when it went over a pothole or missing blacktop. The previous owner didn't or couldn't fix it so sold it "as is." After 4 months of this noise I went to GAC to see if they could find the problem and fix it. I took some time but they were successful where no one else was. Now it is such a pleasure to drive it over San Diego's famous potholes. Thanks GAC!

Amazing 1st time experience
We purchased a used 2019 BMW 850iM 6 months ago. We usually take our vehicles to the dealer. I decided to try German Auto Center and was not disappointed. From the first phone call with Amanda to the pick up of my car it was a definite 10!
