Excellent service! Marcelo and their team are very friendly and helpful.
Marcelo helped me with a bmw that the previous mechanic couldn't fix. I appreciate the honesty and when you feel that someone goes the extra mile

These guys took the time 30 minutes out of their day to help a stranger...no appointment I just pulled up and asked for help. My trunk was stuck closed....they didn't hesitate and stopped working to help me and got my trunk to work. Class Act and very kind.

I have used this place for years. The head mechanic Warren is fantastic. I trust him with all my cars and trucks, American or European. If it has an engine he can fix it. The prices are affordable and they have great customer service. I recommend them 100%.

Warren, Jorge and the guys always take care of me. I came here a couple of years back after seeing another mechanic who played me. Warren has always been honest, taken good care of me and my old lady car. I would recommended to anyone. An honest and trustworthy mechanic. They take my car in whenever I need a check up even if I just need some air in the tires. 5+ stars all around

Yesterday, I decided to let Warren to replace my valve gasket.

I hastated because it was not cheap. I bought this 2007 335i used. After it's replaced I wonder if it feel the same as when the car is brand new! It felt more power and better sound.

Thanks Warren, great job!

Highest recommendation. We've been bringing our 2001 VW Golf TDI to Warren ever since we were quoted elsewhere on expensive and suspiciously redundant repairs (about 2 years ago). The "$5000 in repairs" in Warren's hands came to $800, and the car we loved but feared losing is still going strong.

Warren's been extremely honest, reliable and fair. We're happy to bring our cars here.

The most honest mechanic I've ever met. After a regular maintenance at the dealer, they told me I needed my rear brakes changed and quoted me. I figured I'd call around to see if someone could do it for less and chose European Auto to do the job. Brought it in and he told me I had 40% meat left on my pads! He promptly took it off the rack and sent me on my way with extra holiday cash in my pocket. I will absolutely bring it back here when I actually need to have my brakes changed.

Found this place with a great Groupon for a half price synthetic oil change. Called and got an appointment within two days. Showed up and was immediately helped by the owner, Warren, who was super-friendly and very helpful. I had a leak somewhere as well so Warren checked it out and found the issue and gave me a temp fix. He also told me how to get a good deal on repairing the leak and even replaced a couple brake lightbulbs and had one of his guys buff my headlights for only a few bucks extra. I will definitely be bringing my wife's car here for her oil change in the next week and I

Great experience. I only went in for an oil change but I will go back for any other services I need. They got me in quickly and did the oil change right. Even lent me a gas can to fill up my motorcycle after moving it from Denver.

This place is awesome! They are fast, friendly and are all about the customer. I came in for an oil change. They took my car in right away and I was out in 30 minutes! I would have given them 5 stars just for that but it gets better...As I was driving out, the guy runs after me to tell me one of my tail lights and replaces it for me! You don't see customer service like this anymore. I love this place so much I had to write a review right away. Thank you European Auto!! :)

These guys are great! My old BMW Z3 needed a new clutch and they quoted me a very reasonable price. A day later after I dropped in my car I found they not only put in the new clutch for me as quoted, but also checked and cleared a air bag error code(which was there for a while), and polished the foggy head light lenses to crystal clear - man I never saw them so clear! All the extra work were done for free, and I didn't even ask, talking about professionalism! I strongly recommend this shop.

Excellent across the board.

I heard a funny noise in my car but had no problems or warning light but I stopped by on a Saturday. Warren and his team took the time to look at my car, sort out the problem and get me an estimate. I had never met them but they were knowledgeable, professional and friendly.

They found the problem, the part, and the completed the work $200 less than the estimate! I can't say enough good things about Warren and his team. Excellent. They now have a customer for life and I will recommend them to all my friends.

Owner is honest, friendly, and does great work. We take both our cars to him for everything from oil changes to brakes. He has been very accommodating when it comes to working with our schedule. We trust him and have found that his prices are quite reasonable. He is our go-to.

I purchased synthetic oil change Groupons and went in yesterday to have my oil changed. Folks, this place is as good as it gets. You can tell straight away that the owner, Warren, is the kind of person that will try to accommodate you and will do exactly what he says. This is exactly what happened.

I phoned Warren and said I was coming. When I arrived Warren greeted me like he really was glad to see me, offered to turn on the television for me to watch while I waited, grabbed the car keys and immediately began work. My car was done quickly, the oil change sensor reset and I was on my way. I

Toyota repair. Warren replaced my clutch in two days for 500 less then 2 other shops that quoted me. 10k miles later and it's still problem free. Don't let the "European" name stop you from calling.

Warren is great! Extremely knowledgable an very friendly. Price is definitely reasonable.

Got to know his place through a Groupon and I have now taken my Prius and Jeep for regular maintenance and my '71 VW Bug in for suspension, fuel and "extra" work.

I definitely recommend European Auto for your mechanical needs. I have already told my friends about him.

It is hard to find a good, honest mechanic around me. You have made me a customer for life!

Thanks for everything, Warren!
