Super experience with them and I will use them exclusively for all my repairs.

I highly recommend them. Had my Audi serviced here.

Did a brake job with an oil change, basic maintenance essentially, on my Audi and German Car Specialists saved me a cool 600-700 vs what the dealer would charge. It was done VERY quickly too and the work was fabulous! My S3 stops on a dime (as it should) and runs beautifully. This will be my goto mechanic for ANY issue with my Audi moving forward! Easy 5 stars!

Great service and polite staff. Had a new clutch and flywheel installed in my GTI in 5 hours. They noticed my car was low on oil and added oil as well. Easy to set up an appointment. Would highly recommend you take your German cars here, these guys know their stuff. I know I'll be taking my car here from now on.

German Car Specialists has been and continues to be the go to for me. Owner of a BMW and a VW, they have been friendly, accommodating, communicative, and timely. I know pricing will dictate where a large number of folks will seek service and repair, and I will admit the quotes from this shop seem too good to be true...but they are honest, do what they say they will, and flat out fix vehicles.
Been uber happy with the work they have done, and they will continue to see my vehicles until they either close their doors or I no longer drive.

Had my Audi serviced here. Miscommunication on my part had them replace some filters that I replaced myself a few weeks earlier. They scheduled me back same day, reimbursed the filter costs, and added a complimentary service. Very satisfied with their customer service and timeliness. Highly recommend them.

I chose this business to service my 2012 BMW 535i based on reviews and was very impressed. They are professional, fast, and not interested in getting over on customers. The dealership was trying to get over on me claiming I needed a 7k repair but when i researched my car didn't have the issues associated with the repair. I highly recommend them and will continue to.

My 2015 Audi Q3 has almost 90K miles and needed carbon intake cleaning. I searched and called a few places to get an estimate and after reading the great reviews, I decided to go with Berk and his team at German Car Specialists. All I can say is this, if you have an Audi, this is the go to shop for service and repairs. Berk and his team are professionals in every way, from customer service to doing the a great job on the car and doing it in a timely manner. My Q3 runs smooth and like new again. Glad I found them because now I have peace of mind when I need service or repairs on my Audis.

I contacted German Car Specialists to have my catback exhaust system replaced. Berk was very accommodating and gave me an estimate that was very reasonable. He even went the extra mile when I asked him to take a couple of before and after photos. Work was done quickly and professionally. I will definitely be coming back for any of my German car needs in the future!

Excellent customer service and most importantly HONESTY. All work was carried out to a high standard and the price for services were less than the dealer's quote! These guys know their stuff-and do it well. I would have no hesitation in recommending German Car Specialists to any Audi owner.

My nephew started UTSA this year as a freshman and I helped him out buying an Audi A4 to get around. It is a 2012 so we could expect some maintenance needs. I was shocked recently when he told me he needed a water pump replacement after taking the car in to the Audi dealership. Not shocked that the car needed the maintenance but at the quote from those guys. It was insane and I immediately told the nephew we needed to look at alternatives. After research from some folks in my office that own an Audi I checked in with these guys and was very impressed with the service and the price which was

So glad I found Berk and his team to service my Cayenne GTS and 911 Turbo. The service is great and the prices are very fair - especially compared to the local Porsche dealer, where the prices are crazy high for everything because they have no other dealerships around to compete with. Berk gets me in as fast as he can and the work is always done when promised. In my opinion a good indy shop for high end cars is worth its weight in gold and GCS is definitely on that list.

Berk was very uprfront and professional. I have never owned a German car before, and now feel exceptionally comfortable that I have found a reliable(on time), professional mechanic in my area.
Went in for an oil change, completed in 30 minutes, and out the door with the total he disclosed on the phone.

I am gearing up for a roadtrip and needed to get everything checked off my endless to-do list. I came into the shop after a crazy day to discuss the issue with the plastic around my front light that kept coming off. I was previously told by BMW that it would cost about $800-900 to fix (this included the part and labor).
I brought it in and the owner quoted me at $200. The owner took his time to check out my car and we scheduled something for 3 days later. He told me that my car was intact and in that particular area everything was fixable. I also had a loose part by the door from opening

Berk and his team are terrific.
I own a Porsche Cayenne dealer wanted $320 for a oil change. $120 at GSM!
I was also having a squeaking noise at low speeds while applying the brakes.
Berks team took a look and recommend to save a bit of money waiting until brake pads were shot and then replacing rotors and pads. I liked that rather than just taking my money he was trying to do the right thing for my pocket book and not what would make him money.
I elected to go ahead and replace all rotors and pads. Job was completed quickly and brakes now feel better and no more squeak. Go see Berk!
