Autobahn Automotive
If you have an Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, MINI Cooper, Porsche, Sprinter, Volkswagen, or Volvo. If you are tired of the impersonal dealership atmosphere and don't want to empty your wallet every time you go. Fed up with mechanic shops that don't return your calls and just want a repair shop to do what they say they will do?

If you are looking for European Auto Repair in Sea Girt, NJ, then allow us to introduce ourselves. We originally opened our facility on the Lakewood/Toms River border in 2002 and recently relocated to Sea Girt/Wall Township. Specialization and integrity are the keys to our success. We are proud to offer European automobile owners an unparalleled level of independent auto repair service.
Services
When you arrive at Autobahn Automotive, you will be greeted by Kristen, Amanda, or Dave and given as much time as you need to discuss the issues you are having with your German import. We invite you to relax in our waiting room and enjoy the amenities. We offer complementary gourmet coffee, water, soda, WiFi, TV, and magazines.
When your Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, MINI Cooper, Porsche, Volkswagen, or Volvo breaks down or requires maintenance, it requires a repair facility that is trained to work on those specific types of automobiles. A shop that repairs all makes and models just doesn't have the specific training and tools that European cars require.

These are the only makes we service. We take pride in providing New Jersey with an independent Audi specialist, BMW specialist, Mercedes Benz specialist, MINI Cooper specialist, Porsche specialist, Volkswagen specialist, and Volvo specialist.
Every person must have an ethical standard, whether it is consciously chosen or not. When I first opened Autobahn in 2002, a customer gave me a copy of the Watchmaker's Code of Ethics. He said that if I follow them, I will always run an honest business and keep a higher standard than my competition.
A brand owned by the Volkswagen Group, Audi is becoming more and more popular in the United States. Total sales between 2018 and 2019 increased by 0.4 percent, and Audi accounted for 223,323 and 224,111 in total European automobile sales in the United States in these years, respectively.

Classy, sophisticated, sporty, and fun are all adjectives Audi drivers use to describe their automobiles, and Autobahn Automotive proudly services and repairs Audi vehicles.Maintenance is crucial to the lifespan of your Audi. It's no secret that vehicles that are maintained properly last longer than vehicles that aren't.

Very nice place, unbelievably clean and organized. Excellent quality work. Unfortunately lost their LR tech, but took care of my Audi TT. A little on the pricey side but if you're researching repair shop for your European ride, clearly you didn't go with "on the budget choice of the vehicle". Again, customer service and work quality is top notch, if thats what you're looking for, this is the place.

I brought my BMW X3 here after reading the reviews. I know how busy shops are at the moment and they were able to get me in the same day I made the appointment. When I dropped it off they let me know it may be a few days before they can get to it. Ryan called me the same day to let me know they had a cancellation and were able to get my car in. Explained what was wrong and had the price ready to go with parts labor and any taxes included. They did the work and had my car back to me before 11am. The pricing was fair and my car is running great. I will definitely be going back to this shop for any

I am very pleased with all departments at Autobahn. They diagnose thoroughly and provided me with a report from urgent services to services needed that can wait. The service manager brought me to the car to show me all the work that was needed. He spent time with me to explain what parts & why. The girls at the desk are very sweet and knowledgeable which makes the transaction much easier. They provide a loaner car, helps a great deal. They are a little expensive but it’s justified by the quality & workmanship. I definitely recommend this place to all!! My dealer didn’t come close to this type

Ten weeks ago, Autobahn repaired a bad oil leak in my car, replacing the oil pan and fixing a gasket leak; it cost over $2,000 but I felt confident and relieved they had addressed the problem and "healed" my car. When my oil warning light went on last weekend, I became concerned and took the car in the next morning to have oil added. A quick look by the mechanic assured me everything looked good, but I should probably schedule an oil filter change. less than a week later I brought it in for the routine oil change. I was informed there were some major problems resulting in a $2500 charge related

Great experience! Ryan is the best. He's an automotive mastermind, a true expert in all phases of diagnosis and repair. Everything is explained to you very simply so you understand why a particular parts needs repair/replacement. They will never try to sell you a part or repair that isn't needed. Everything is very transparent. He will show you exactly what is wrong with your car and point everything out to you while the car is on the lift. I had some deferred maintenance on a 4 series convertible. Everything that was pointed out indeed needs attention. The quality of service from start to finish

I had a check engine light for my Mercedes. Brought my car to another mechanic and didn’t feel comfortable with the way they communicated about my car or to me. Decided to get a second opinion at Autobahn and the difference was 100%. They were professional, communication was awesome, they gave me a date when my car would be done and they finished early. I have a new place for my car that I feel great with and trust. Car runs awesome again!! Thank you front desk and mechanics at Autobahn!!

One of the best service centers around. I bought a 2013 Mercedes-Benz from a shady dealership that sold me a car that should have never been sold. I had a problem returning it until I had autobahn go over my vehicle and gave me the key details of why this car should be returned and I was able the get my full refund According to their expertise. Not to mention they offer top notch customer service and I will always bring my future car there before purchasing.thanks guys

The JCW clubman suspension need an aftermarket rear sway bar install and alignment before DE event. Got a quote from Amanda a couple days ahead, dropped off car first thing in the morning. The car was aligned properly (can't say this easily about many other shops near my home, hence willing to drive an hour to get it done right). The car handles great, the final cost is a slightly higher than initially quoted but reasonable for additional time needed to undo seized tierod. The waiting room was well equipped with refreshments and comfortable and the communication was perfect. All and all

Thank God I found this place.

I own a 2016 Porsche Macan S and had oil changes and regular maintenance performed here (spark plugs, PDK service, etc.) for much less than what the dealer costs. If I had to go to the dealership every time I needed work done, I would never be able to afford this car. It's not the price of the vehicle, it's the maintenance that makes it expensive. Unless, of course, you have a good independent shop. And that's what this place is.

If the owner is reading this, please keep doing what you're doing and you're business will only grow.

I was new to the area and needed to find a local shop for my 2008 BMW 5 series. Not the best car to choose to hold onto I have learned but it is still a top driving sedan

Well, it is a BMW so I needed someone other than the dealer and I am very glad I chose Autobahn. It has been better than a positive experience. Dave and Amanda and everyone has been a pleasure to deal with. Their prices are fair, lower than the dealer and they have the expertise.

I hope this helps with you choice of a foreign car shop in the area. They don't even service domestic cars!

Great experience with the entire Autobahn team. Have brought my BMW several times for them to do a complete review of the car. They provide a detailed written report that shows you what needs immediate attention and what is not urgent. They are honest and charge fairly for the work they provide. The only place I will bring my car to is Autobahn Automotive.

Went here on a recommendation of a friend since my regular shop closed. Might have been the best experience I've had getting a car serviced, from making the appointment, confirming, checking in, getting the low down to approve the service, to checking out. They gave me a list of things that ill need to get checked/changed/serviced in the future and with the mechanics notes. They offered to explain anything I didn't understand but did not assume I didn't understand. Keys were sanitized before my eyes before giving them back to me (covid practice-thank you). Everything was up front

Came in for some electrical work on my Volkswagen. Very helpful and detailed analysis of my vehicle done. They're very specific in what they tell you they're gonna do and always ask your approval as they take the next steps in the repair. They'll send you text updates as they figure out the problem and fix it and you can pay online which is cool. Definitely coming here again if I ever have a problem

What can I say other than Autobahn Automotive saved me a bunch of money and heartache.

I was attempting to buy a used Volvo out of state at Volvo Cars Manasquan (shady dealer, I wouldn't recommend), so I contacted Autobahn for a pre-purchase inspection. The dealer didn't even want to drive the car the 1.1 miles from their lot to Autobahn. Fortunately Amanda intervened and was able to get the dealer to drop off the car for an inspection.

This inspection was extremely thorough with a very detailed electronic report at the end. They road tested the car, checked brakes and rotors

If you are a woman who doesn't know a lot about cars and want to get ripped off, this is the place. $127 for an oil change, unnecessary work and kept my car for several weeks. Run.

So I found out my maintenance warranty expired in August and my 2015 535i just crossed the 50k mark so I went to yelp and saw that Autobahn was not only close to my office but highly reviewed.

I knew it was going to be a lot, but it was a true welcome to owning a German Luxury car.

Unlike all my previous dealer experience

1. Autobahn sends you a detailed report of everything you need with pictures showing where your parts are showing wear.

2. They work with you in the sense of telling you what is needed now but also giving you a price comparison if you waited. (Saved me over $150 by adding

I happened to stumble across Dave and his team while they were in Lakewood near my mom. I had purchased a used BMW X3 and unfortunately have had one problem after another with it. Dave has always been able to fix it up with a reasonable charge (for a BMW) and get me going again. He and his staff are very professional and pleasant to work with and he always lets me know the cost up front before doing anything. His new facility is beautiful and great for dropping off the car before hitting the beach :) I highly recommend Dave and Autobahn.

For starters, these guys do fantastic work--they're experts on European cars.

What separates them from the rest is their customer service, and attention to detail. They take the time to make sure you really understand all the working being done. It makes you feel like you can trust them and the work they do. Also, their waiting area is as comfortable as sitting in a friend's living room (ex. free WiFi, coffee, juices, etc.)

I'll continue to come to NJ Autobahn for any work needed on my Audi A6, and would recommend the shop to anyone looking for a trustworthy group of knowledgeable
