Total German Motor Works
The plain truth is that foreign car dealerships charge 10 to 20% more than we do for the same work. Not only are their mechanics charging higher rates, but that friendly service manager gets a cut, too. In many dealerships he makes a commission for selling you more fixes. At Total German Motorworks you'll be dealing directly with the tech that does the work.

European cars are different. Each manufacturer has idiosyncrasies and that's why you love your car. But a mechanic used to working on American brands could damage your car without knowing it. At Total German Motorworks, our techs have years of experience with the German brands and know their quirks.

Old Mercedes needing odd repairs. Good advice. Does not try to sell expensive repairs for things of questionable value on older cars. Thank you!

Dave was knowledgeable and helped me to understand the dynamics of german engineering. We ran into some issues and i totally gave Dave the reigns. I took his advice and the car is running great. His prices are fair and he is very quick. Thank you Dave, i appreciate your help and i will refer anyone i talk to, over to you guys.

Really appreciate this place especially John. I came to them for a second opinion after the dealership quoted me a repair price that was very expensive. After inspection, John and the team found it to be a small part that they were able to fix for a fraction of the price. They were very honest, straightforward, friendly, and professional. Thanks again!

Herr Maestro's of the Mercedes. We really appreciate the exceptional and personable service from Chris and his team. He confirmed that our Mercedes needed a new A/C compressor and they were able to repair the vehicle expeditiously and significantly below a prior quote from someone who doesn't typically work on Mercedes. We fully trust Chris and his team's in-depth knowledge of the Mercedes. We will be returning here for all our future servicing needs.

Great little place. Chris is a straight up guy who lays out what needs to be done without pressuring you into extra work. He would have had a 5 star review but he needs to get an answering service for the shop. All on all he did great work at a very fair price.

Thanks for the help with our German cars.
Honest and great people, specially Chris.
We will continue to come for service even if we've already move further. You've been there for us all the time.
Reasonable prices, explanations are descriptive from Chris and our vehicles are running great. Specially with the AZ heat our vehicles have been steady. Until the next maintenance which is 6 months each time.
I highly recommend this establishment.

In 25 years, I've dealt with dozens of independent BMW shops all over North America. I've not experienced a higher level of cordiality, a greater degree of sympathy, respect and honesty as when I conducting business with Total German Motorworks.

I showed up unannounced with a serious issue (ignition switch failure) ... I could not shut the car off (as I would have remained stranded wherever I'd parked it). I pled my case to the owner and he said they were booked but would get to it later in the week with a diagnosis. I could tell they were familiar with the usual issues and I

Took my older Mercedes SUV to receive its 50,000 mile checkup. They did a great job and finished that day. Took it in when scheduled and got it back when promised. The quote I received was right on point. I'll be going back for all my repairs.

I heard great things about this business and even had a personal referral. I have a BMW and Mini Cooper that needs some work. I tried calling no fewer than 10 times and no one answered the phone. Since that didn't work I completed the online form requesting an appointment and no one responded. These guys may be great but I guess they don't want my business which is too bad.

My 1st review was good, but now I will never go back to these guys ! They did a pre inspection on my MB and said they found nothing wrong. 1 week later my windshield washer was leaking so I called and left 3 messages on there very un-professional phone system, not even sure if it was them ! The parking lot has more holes than in NYC ! They never called back and found out I need STRUTS & and Oil Seal they did not find ! Well I dumped the car and now have a BMW with a warranty but they will never see this car !

Total German is great! Friendly, responsive, and fast. They didn't recommend unnecessary repairs and finished my service (oil/filter, wiper blades, air filter) in just a few hours. I'll use them for all future repairs and service on my MB C250

My BMW had windshield wipers that made noise, a rubbing sound, when working. I took the car to this company and Chris used a wiper that should have worked he said. The new wipers made noise. Chris's assistant found that the new wiper wasn't stiff enough so Chris order the manufacturer's
recommended wiper. The 2nd set of new wipers worked perfectly. Although I had to push a little for wipers that didn't make noise, this shop gave quick service with a smile and no extra charge

Inherited a 1979 450 SL that had not been driven in a couple years and barely started. I live in CO and needed the car road worthy quickly. Ryan worked some magic and got me in quickly. The car needed a fair amount of work to say the least and it was impressive how fast they did everything from engine to brakes to transmission. The shop stuck to the estimate and fixed a couple things they found getting into it as agreed to do. I drove the car 900 miles through the mountains and it ran like a champ. Not a fancy shop, but who cares when the service is excellent. Hope I can find a shop as good here

These folks did a good job on my 82 350SL. They found the problem and fixed it for a great price. I also had them do some work on my 92 325, again with great results. I'd use this place of business again.

These guys are awesome. I went in for a few surface repairs and they didn't even charge me. Super friendly and honest, which is really hard to come by. Wish I had found them sooner so I could have had all my car troubles taken care of there.
