Very nice and professional, he took time away from his job to explain in detail the problem and fix. The workers at the shop are also kind and respectful. Dan is the Man, how I regret not knowing him many years ago. He was able to fix a problem that another shop took 2 trys and could not figure out. I will now be a customer for life. It's so nice to find an honest person who really cares about his job and not taking advantage of others. Excellent job! Thank you.

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value
Five Star service. Dan is a very knowledgeable and professional repair technician. I drive and older model Bmw truck. Dan was able to diagnose and repair it better then the BMW dealership (For half the price) I strongly recommend Gerber’s European Auto Repair for quality service and repairs!
Service: General repairs & maintenance

Yeah, this is my second 5-Star review for GEAR. What you gunna do about it? I wanted to give them 10-Stars, so mission accomplished.
This shop is great and its best attribute is an owner that genuinely seems excited when he figures out the problem that is plaguing your car or truck. If you are any where close to Cleveland, you should be driving past the dealerships to get to this place. You go to the dealership you are going to have someone with half the experience charging you twice the price. (oh, that is a good saying, Dan you can have that one). Later alligators
10 Stars Baby, what ya gunna

Take a look at the silver X5 below. Looks nice, right? WRONG. It is cursed by the Lord Satan himself. The only reason it is not slowly grinding itself into the 9-Hells is Dan and the gang at GEAR are fighting it tooth and nail. Dan has managed to sluice out every squeak, rattle and moan this 12 year old Bavarian nightmare makes. I am happy to report that currently the beast is idle after Dan has spent many hours(hours at half the price of the BMW dealership) replacing nuts, bolts and bearings.
This shop is great. It is a real throw back to how car repair places used to be. Dan gives you a price

Dan is amazing! He is always responsive! He really breaks things down for you so you completely understand what’s wrong with your car and how/why he is fixing it the way he is! It’s extremely comforting to know there are great and honest people in this industry still! As long as I’m in Cleveland I will ONLY go to Gear/Gerber Europeans Auto Repair.

Best place to get your German cars serviced!
I recently found Dan and took my BMW to him because I had some suspension problems.
Dan and his team have all the necessary equipment and knowledge required to work on German cars. He quickly diagnosed what was causing the problem and fixed it at a reasonable price.
I also had my battery replaced/programmed and an alignment done.
I'll definitely use his services in the future.
