They did a very thorough inspection of my 2004 Z4 including a large report with photos of the different systems. They ordered the parts and did the work when it was convenient for me to get the car to them. The prices were good for the parts and labor. Everyone was very professional and pleasant. I will be back!

I went to meet the owner, he was great to speak to and was very professional. My oil change went off smoothly but they forgot to replace the door lock. No big deal. Second appointment went off a little different. I showed up at 8:30 am and asked if they could give me a ride 5 blocks away, under a mile. The young mechanics said they were not available and I said ok. Driving the way I always drive my sport car the tires spun a little on the topcoat gravel. 3 minutes later while sitting in my driveway I get a call from the secretary asking if there was a problem and I immediately said no there was

German Auto Service fixed my BMW X3 for a fraction of what the dealership would charge. Great folks, Josef, Lois and the techs are top notch. I wouldn't take my temperamental German vehicle anywhere else. No nonsense, fair priced and honest service.

Services were performed as scheduled and the opportunity to talk directly to the owner and the technician is most valuable. Josef provided a complete repair estimate and Jared took the extra time to thoroughly review the service report and details in the pictures from the multi point inspection. Highly recommended!

Jared is the best mechanic in Sarasota county. If you want your Mercedes Benz, Volvo, BMW or any car really fixed right by an honest person who knows automotive mechanics inside out backwards, forwards and sideways all day every day, here's where to go. Best place in Sarasota for auto repair by miles!

I found GAS while looking for an alternative to BMW dealerships. BMW wanted over $2K to replace my entire convertible top because some plastic clips had broken. GAS was able to fabricate alternatives and I was on my way for a few hours of labor costs. Owner is well versed in mechanical and electrical issues. I was especially impressed in how he explained mechanical concerns by digital pictures of the issues displayed on a monitor where customers could observe the problem without listening to a lot of "words" that would normally not mean much without visually understanding the problems.
