This is a correction from my previous review. Sometimes I can't believe my luck in having you so close that I can walk to pick up my Bug! I know that I can trust you to reliably give me your best advice, even if I don't fully understand the mechanical situation. You are true professionals. It's great to know that the only car I've got is in good hands.
Heckmann & Thiemann Motors is proud and excited to offer the new Bosch Service Credit Card to our loyal customers! Having a Bosch Card is a truly amazing advantage to have when a costly unexpected repair comes up. This card is truly made for the customer in mind. Imagine the idea that you can have a card that charges you no interest as long as it is paid off within 6 months!
Whatever your car requires in labor and parts will be derived from a thorough diagnosis. Along with the diagnosis, we generally perform a 30 Point Courtesy Inspection, and note anything else that may need attention. H&T Motors takes time with you to explain the necessary repairs and make sure you are comfortable with the recommendations.

I have gone to H and T for 20 years and won’t take a Porsche anywhere else. The new building is so much better and really showcases what they are doing. Something about Ed (who is in year 50 something of working on air cooled) still being there to chat that makes it fun.

They always solve any issue I have with my car in a very timely and professional manner. Including progress reports and completion notices. I have referred friends and they have had the same experience. I am so glad they now work on Mercedes.

Heckmann & Thiemann is the only service company for my 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S. I had some general oil change service done and also had them troubleshoot an electrical problem I was having. I was able to leave my car with them while I was out of town for 10 days to allow the proper time for them to troubleshoot. Had great communications from Norma throughout the whole process and picked up my car once I returned and they fixed my electrical issue. Great service!

Very professional and friendly. Relayed all details about what they found and what was needed. Performed worked as needed in a timely manner. Phyllis and Norma were great to work with. I will certainly take my vehicle back to them if needed in the future. I’m a very happy customer and would refer family and friends.

The place itself is very cool with very nice cars but felt very safe and comfortable driving my car off the lot. Will be bringing my car back and would absolutely recommend that others do the same

My visit at Heckmann & Thiemann was all that it could be. From scheduling the appointment and 1st time greeting by the management staff to discussing the issues and then watching and listening to the service details being provided by experienced mechanics. I really liked hearing the comments that Scott shared about the suspension and alignment on my ‘82 911SC. I would have to say Heckmann & Thiemann’s shop is a “happy place”!

My experience at H&T Motors was wonderful. The initial estimate was almost spot on with the final cost. So no surprises. I was kept up to date on the repair process, everyone is professional, and they are really easy to work with. My old Westy is running great! I called with an issue that turned out to be unrelated to the repairs they did. However, H&T Motors contacted me over the weekend to let me know that they would check it out on Monday. I was contacted at the time we arranged and was helped over the phone. Thank you all for being so easy to work with and doing great repairs. This is 5-star
