German Motors of Arcata - Arcata (CA)

5 /5 Jason Osburn: I’ve been going to German Motors for over a decade for work on our Audi and Mercedes, and I couldn’t recommend them any higher!! They are the nicest and most helpful team of people at an auto shop I’ve ever worked with! Their communication and efficiency absolutely shine, and most importantly…I trust them 100% to only recommend what’s best for ME, and to clearly lay out all my options! Go see em, trust me!

5 /5 Jack Bente: My car needed a 20k mileage maintenance. Jon and his mechanics did a fantastic job! I’ll be coming back to German Motors for all my automotive needs.

5 /5 Sarah Downing: My friend loves these guys so I can here for a smog and she was right! They have the smog price listed above so they can’t (and wouldn’t) rip you off (right now it’s 80$). I went in right when they opened and they had my car smogged in less than 30 mins. I also have an out of state plate and they were very helpful in making sure I had what I needed for that. Great guys really nice and helpful I recommend to all who need car work!

1 /5 J C: They misdiagnosed my vehicle and then wanted to charge me $160, which I disputed, for a wrong diagnosis. All I got for my hard earned money was a bunch of codes, mostly resolved previously, and a recommendation to not fix my vehicle because my transmission had failed. My transmission is fine, and my car is running fine. I just had some really badly fouled spark plugs that were not working. They never even did a compression test to verify their "codes" that they pulled from the computer. I would say this place is not worth going to if you want an honest diagnosis and if you dont want to be ripped off.

1 /5 Caleb Haley: Charged me $300 for a wrong diagnostic. Had to take my car somewhere else to actually get my vehicle repaired. Terrible customer service and inept diagnostic department. Do not recommend to any Mini owners or anyone really.
