We have been asked this question many times, so I decided to write a post about it, because I hate when customers think that repair shops try to rip them off with parts costs. This is not the case. Repair shops make their money to pay their bills from 2. Yes, another post about cheap auto parts. There is a reason I write about it.
Accurate car diagnosis is extremely important in the repairs of Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Mini Cooper and Audi. Incorrect diagnosis may lead to useless and expensive repairs, will not fix the problem and will cause frustration. Powerhouse German Automotive has the skills and equipment necessary to diagnose and repair any German car (domestic & Asian cars as well).
I am sure most people have heard their brakes squeak after brakes replacement. That would make anyone think if the shop didn't use quality parts for the brakes repair. This isn't the case. Well, of course there are shops that cut corners and try to save money and order aftermarket, .

They do a great job here. professional, quick, affordable, and efficient. My other mechanics are charging $900-1100 for rear shocks. Got it done for half the price here and within only a couple of hours. Come here if you don't want to get ripped off! by the way these guys are the only ones in town who will change Audi headlights for under $100
(i think it was $25)

I have an older Mercedes. I've taken my car here a few times for an oil change and always provide my own oil, washer, and filter. The last time I took my car here I had a weird feeling that they didn't even use my filter. They also told me I needed to get new control arms to the tune of $1500. I took my car to two other mechanics and they both said they didn't see anything wrong with my control arms. I just got my oil changed by another mechanic and he said the filter was screwed on so tight he had to pry it off with a wrench. He also said the washer was almost completely worn down

Hi Robert - this could be one of two things:  Either you've got the wrong business, or you're a competitor of mine, seeking to ruin my stellar reputation - in hopes of obtaining more business for yourself.  I don't have any record of servicing you or your vehicle - not even an attempt to even give you an estimate in the past.
How convenient of you to have forgotten to remove the invoice from the car you supposedly sold.  If you selected my business to service your vehicle, and that decision was made because of my reviews, then you should have

BEST PRICE IN TOWN! I had an issue with my 2014 BMW X5 rear suspension were the back was sagging. I took it to another shop and they told me it was the compression. I had a feeling they were lying to be because I asked if I bought the compression myself would they install it for me, they said no... I took it to Al and he did a diagnose on my car and we figured out it was the air suspension. I bought the part myself and Al agreed to the labor. It's been a month and there's no issue. 100% trustworthy with the lowest rate. S&K just got a customer for life!

I know it was a long time ago but it just irritates me every time I think about it, gotta get it out. Took my car in for an oil leak about 3-4 years ago. It was a BMW 328i 2013, for the shop info in case you need to check. Was given almost $800 for replacing the gasket for vacuum pump or something like that. Price is fair but if they can fix the problem. There was smoke coming out the hood and an oil burning smell when I took my car in. Couple days later after repairing, same thing happened. I took it back and was repaired under warranty. The latino technician guy who doesn't speak much English

Couldn't be happier with the customer service and pricing! I was in dire need to get my battery, alternator, and radiator hose for the upper engine replaced for my BMW asap and Al and his team delivered! I stopped by to get a quote in the late afternoon assuming that they wouldn't be able to get my car fixed and back to me in the same day, but lo and behold these guys pulled through! They managed to squeeze me into their busy schedule and returned my car within two hours, and Al kept me updated via text along the way which I very much appreciated. The mechanic (Jonathan) was very thorough

Good service, quick and accommodating to my last minute pop in. I Needed a service and a new battery. I've never been anywhere else besides the Mercedes dealer, so I was a bit skeptical, but my visit turned out well. I'll definitely be returning. Thanks for the great service.

My car needed a lot of major repairs that Toyota had mentioned at a prior oil change. I had to get an engine flush, fuel injection, oil change, check brakes, changed air and engine filters. I went with a prior quote given to me from the owner through Yelp. It was reasonably priced. When I got there it was a friendly exchange and they did an inspection of the vehicle to find that my water pump was leaking and that my timing belt also needed to be changed. Although it hurt my wallet the price it was going to be, it was reasonably priced and I didn't feel pressured to do anything to my vehicle

Solid service and price was about 30% less than the dealership and in my personal experience, 3x better than the dealerships out there. I paid about 2300 for my Audi engine to be stripped down for new seals and replacement control arms for the suspension.

Overall a pricey repair, but the car is running smooth and reliable with no more leaks. The Audi dealership quoted around 3k for the same work and were the ones who broke the hood strut that Al replaced in the first place.

If you have a German car that's out of warranty and need an expert, avoid the dealership and call Al.

Located in a neighborhood of auto shops, S & K Auto Repair is not a shop you'd want to miss or skip out on. If you're looking for quality and transparency, you'll definitely find it here. I'll break down some important things I look for in an auto shop, and how I found it with S & K.

- Request a quote, you'll get a prompt response. You can get an estimate right here using the Yelp feature like I did, but it's best to bring your car in and have them take a look. Having already taken in my car for two different services, something that I really

Yess! I found a gem! I just left a previous review with all the quotes I got today and about a really shady auto shop that called me and threatened me because of my honest review of their shady establishment.

I needed to bleed my brakes and this place quoted me only $50 to do the exact same work that the others quoted me up to $280 for.

The owner is Al who is very professional and quoted me over the phone. Went in to have it fixed and I was billed exactly what I was quoted on the phone. This shop is a gem and the mechanic is super nice too. Highly recommend!

If you're looking for friendly, honest, no-frills service for your Mercedes, bring your car to S&K!

My A/C was on the fritz. A little over a month prior, I had taken it to the dealer, had it serviced to the tune of four figures. A week later in the midst of a heat wave, it was no longer blowing cold air. I brought it back to the dealer, and they recommended another four-figure repair. UGH. I was almost at the point of trading it in, but I really didn't want any more car payments. My car was still drivable, and as much as I like the convenience of having a courtesy car and my car

Complete lack of accountability. The fact that they didn't fix my vehicle isn't the reason for the one star it's the fact when I called and told them I was still having issues that it wasn't their problem. I'm always going to stand up for the people who can't I'm not going to say that they screw people over because i just don't know but I do know they need to work on their customer service and their accountability to excellence in service
