I've been going to German Auto Clinic for almost 20 years, first with our Saab and then with our Volvos. Yolanda is always friendly and Jose goes above and beyond every time. This last time we brought our Volvo in for some work and Jose did so much extra that I felt like family. I cannot recommend German Auto Clinic enough. They do excellent work and are honest and hard working. Thank you Jose and Yolanda for everything.

German Auto Clinic and Jose have serviced my vehicles for many years. This has included BMWs and American vehicles. They are very knowledgeable, helpful, honest and friendly. They can be trusted to give excellent service at a fair price.

I take all my cars (4) to Jose. I trust him and his team completely. My last experience I had my daughter take her car to Jose for service and to check for safety. He called me with the bad news that it needed so much work the car wasn't worth the value of the work. He could have made a lot of money, but instead of doing the service he just checked the entire car. I am thankful for his honesty. The good news if my daughter has a newer safer car thanks to Jose and his team, and of course Jose will do the maintenance on this car too!

Always outstanding service from this wonderful independent auto repair shop! I have been a happy customer for over 20 years.

Excellent service, rapid response, highly recommend !

They took great care of my wife’s Audi recently. The place is more clean and orderly than any auto repair shop I’ve seen. Apparently have been here for decades. Proprietor and his wife were very friendly, helpful, and even sent a thank-you note afterwards. This will be my new go-to for my BMW. Impressed.

Trustworthy. Reliable. Professional. Honest. What more can a car owner ask for!


Aug 06, 2024

My car had a rough idle when warming up; then the problem would disappear. Jose found two minor issues and fixed them. Thank you

I have been going to GAC for a number of years. The team has been great in keeping my vehicles maintained and working well.


May 06, 2024

I am confident that my auto is receiving first class care at German Auto Clinic.


May 06, 2024

done as promised but overpriced 3 times

Quality services, honest and trustworthy owners. My 14 y.o. old Subaru (129K+ miles) is still running strong thanks to German Auto Clinic.

DO NOT COME HERE! If I could leave zero stars I would. This place is a total scam. I took my 2011 BMW here to get a diagnosis since it would backfire each time I accelerated, and would not start unless I tried 4-5 times. They had my car for a total of TWO WEEKS and did NOT do what was asked. Charged me $513.98 for a new CAS module, $800 for an intake manifold gasket, and multiple other charges for stuff that WAS NOT NECESSARY. Got a still broken car back after spending $2,825.17. I did not get it back the way I left it either, parts unfinished, bolts laying out everywhere, and trash. After trying to find a loyal mechanic, back to M Service I went. Feel free to take a look at the receipts and photos.

I have nothing but good things to say about German Auto Clinic. My mother's 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan left her on the side of the road 100 miles after an oil change and service at the dealer. Long story short, she was told the car either needed a $17,000 engine replacement or my mom had to get a new car. I worked for many years in car sales, so I went to speak to the dealer in the hopes of getting some more information and finding some solution but I was met with dishonesty and indifference. I found German Auto Clinic on Google and gave them a call. Jose was incredible. He was honest, full of good information and we put together a step by step plan to diagnose and see if we could save my mom's car. He was able to diagnose and repair the cause of the issue and he even found other things the VW service bay should of caught. In the end my mom has her car and I have a new mechanic. If you drive anything German and you want to keep it on the road, you really should bring it to German Auto Clinic. I have experience with many local shops and this experience has been the best I have had by far.

I just had a 550CLS reviewed for a pre-Sale inspection at his shop. I never met Jose in person and did the appointment over the phone. His wife did the paperwork and I received the report 10 min after paying over the phone. He was prompt and precise in his work. I as a non-mechanic rely on professionals like him. He gave me estimates for each problem he found on the car and made it easy for me to make a sound decision. If I lived in Walnut Creek this would be my go to shop. I might bring my old Mercedes to him for maintenance. There are not too many businesses like him. Thank you!

Jose and his team are top notch. I took my 1964 VW Beetle to Jose and he did a wonderful job. He explained everything that needed work, the cost, and the time estimate. He took extra time to also fix a few minor things on his own. I will definitely be a regular customer - could not have gone better.


Feb 06, 2024

Outstanding and very reasonable price!


Feb 06, 2024

Outstanding service as always. Very professional. Only recommend what is necessary. Feel very comfortable with their diagnosis.


Feb 06, 2024

They fixed the all wheel drive on our Volvo XC60. They were quick and charged what they quoted. Car runs good now. What more can I ask?


Feb 06, 2023

Always honest and always the best.


Feb 06, 2023

Great, efficient, friendly service as always!

I used German Auto Clinic to do a PPI on a 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo. The price was reasonable, and Jose was able to fit me in the same day I inquired. Jose did a good job, and identified a few faults that I was able to reference to get a fair price for the car.


Feb 06, 2023

Jose is a great guy who knows his stuff while compationate enough to allow my dog to stay in the car while work was performed.


Feb 06, 2023

Very happy with the service I recently got from Jose. Had regular service and front brakes replaced. Great place to take your car and feel like they care about it.


Feb 06, 2022

Awesome consult with Jose - he took the time to chat with us about all of our concerns and discuss when we could drop the vehicle off! Very much looking forward to getting our work done here, thanks Jose!!!


Feb 06, 2022

I had hunted Rennlist and Google for "independent Porsche mechanics near Walnut Creek". German Auto kept coming up. I called for pre-purchase inspection on a 996 turbo since I am in Southern CA. Jose answered the phone, was very helpful and we had the car in his shop a few days later. He discussed his findings with me afterwards via phone and sent a complete report with his recommendations. Very happy with his friendly professional service. I highly recommend his business.


Feb 06, 2022

Jose is honest and fair.


Feb 06, 2022

Jose was helpful in telling me how best to maintain my Mercedes. First time there but will use as my maintenance mechanic in the future.


Feb 06, 2021

Had a problem with my gti on a rod tripand got it fixed within hours. Lifesavers. Professionalism at its best!

It is rare to find a business that provides both high level expertise PLUS passion for their work. German Auto Clinic does both. I would not take any of my cars (even my American made ones) anywhere else. I have been using this company for over 10 years and they are always upstanding. I strongly recommend. If you want it done right search no further. Besides, you can have faith that you will be dealing with honest folks.
