German Car Specialists

We all know the dealers scam you in pricing, but not here. Extremely nice and helpful. I had taken my Audi to another shop but they were charging Dealer prices and they weren’t even going to do the proper work, AND I PAID THEM TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC. If you have a vehicle they can work on, bring it here.

I have used German Car Specialists for quite a few years for a variety of BMW's and they have always done great work, on time, and at a fair price considering the quality of the work. Another nice thing is that if you have purchased performance parts for your German car, they will do a great job installing them, whereas the dealer will not.

I’ve been a loyal customer of German Car Specialists LLC for years, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Every time I bring my car in, they exceed my expectations with their exceptional service and expertise. Berk and his team at German Car Specialists is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in handling all types of German vehicles. They always provide a thorough and accurate diagnosis, and their repairs are top-notch. I’ve never had to return for the same issue twice, which speaks volumes about their quality of work. Their customer service is also outstanding. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with friendly faces and treated with respect. They take the time to explain what needs to be done and why, ensuring that I’m fully informed and comfortable with the process. What I appreciate most is their honesty and transparency. They never try to upsell unnecessary services or parts, which is a rare and refreshing quality in this industry. Their pricing is fair and competitive, making them a trustworthy choice for anyone in need of reliable car maintenance and repair. German Car Specialists LLC is a true gem in the automotive world. If you want your car to be in the best hands, look no further. Thank you for always doing such an outstanding job on my cars!

Porsche repair from a shop that cares

Very Professional experience from beginning to end. Also, always felt like they were very honest about what needed to be done and just as importantly what didn’t need to be done. Definitely a more cost effective and better alternative than the dealership. Highly recommend! Definitely our new auto mechanic shop!!

German Car Specialist has the #1 Audi technicians and repair experts in San Antonio. This is the first time in 20yrs I've met an owner who has more knowledge and facts than every dealership service department in the city... Great job 👍🏽

We recently bought a used Audi A3 and and we're so glad we found German Car Specialists. Berk, the owner, helped us out on several occasions. The diagnosis and repairs were made quickly - no issues with parts or service delays, and the car was fixed right. Berk is so easy to work with -- he's upfront, honest and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Berk and his team always take great care of my Audis. Favorite shop in town and much better than the dealers for price and quality of work!

My family and I have been using German Car Specialist since they opened. We have owned most German manufacturers and have needed almost any services you could think of. They are exceptional in the work they do and are upfront and honest in their assessment of work needed. They are the best dealer alternative for your German vehicle. Highly recommend.

This shop is the only one I trust to work on any of my family’s vehicles. I will happily recommend them to anyone for repairs.

I had my Audi RS5 rotors, brakes and oil changed. Service was fast and the price was very fair. Thanks!

I brought my A6 in running rough and with an oil leak. The guys were fantastic with timely and clear communication and got me back on the road the same day running perfectly! I cannot recommend these guys highly enough

Berk and crew are the best. Handled my Audi with no problems.

Berk and his expert team of specialists took great care of our Porsche Macan S and provided excellent customer service. I have been going to German Car Specialists for all our Porsche service needs for 4 years, and they consistently do great work. Recently the vehicle needed more extensive work due to an oil leak, and they diagnosed and repaired it in a timely manner. He also graciously worked with our extended warranty company for payment. Berk always provides expert, detailed descriptions of the work and is available to advise on all vehicle issues. We will continue to rely on German Car Specialists!

Berk and team have always been good to us! We have taken our Porsche and BMW here for a while and the do excellent work every time. I wouldn’t go anywhere else in San Antonio for both our vehicles. Thanks team!

Have taken my Audi A4 for servicing twice here and their customer service is phenomenal~! Would for sure recommend ☺️ Wayy better service than Audi Dominion !

I have a 2013 BMW Z4 28i with the turbocharged 4 cylinder N20 engine at 79,000 miles. It was making a whining noise and a check engine light on, I knew it was going to need significant repairs. I looked around and found German Car Specialists and decided to give them a try instead of the dealer. I love my Z4 and plan on keeping it a long time and wanted any repairs to be done right and at a reasonable cost. From the very first call I could tell they were BMW experts and customer focused, willing to answer and discuss all of my questions. It turned out I needed a new intake manifold, not such a simple job on the N20, and then they discovered my timing chain was very loose and it needed to be replaced as well, a common issue on the N20, and also not a simple job. Berk and Mark kept me informed as they did the work, sending progress pictures and showing me the engine codes and explained what they were doing and why all along the way. They did a great job, my Z4 is running better than it ever has! And considering the complexity of the job and parts they did it a reasonable cost. I highly recommend!

I never write reviews, however I felt one was warranted in this situation based on the great experience I had. I took my wife's Audi to the dealership for an annual service (previously I had exclusively taken it to the dealership as this is what I've always done with my Fords). I was told there was a leak that needed to be fixed but wanted to get a second opinion due to the high (in my opinion) price that they were estimating. I found German Car Specialists on google and was able to make an appointment within a week. They able to get me in, fix the issue, and charged an extremely reasonable price. Bonus, their messaging/estimate system they used through text was great and made the process so much easier as it eliminated the need to call to follow up (which is always inconvenient while at work). This was probably the best car repair experience I have ever had on any vehicle I've owned. I will definitely be back next year for our service!

Been taking our BMW to Brett for years. He is always very friendly and clear on the issue an what needs to be done to fix it. I'll never take our car to another repair shop.

Nov 27, 2022

Berk and the team are great. My Porsche always gets taken care of and they work with extended warranties. I wouldn’t go anyplace else.

Excellent service

German Car Specialists is in my opinion the premier shop for services and mechanical repairs of German cars. From personal experience with my 2005 Audi I can say that going to Berk’s shop is far better in terms of quality and value than any of the local Audi dealers. With an old car like mine, it's bad enough to find parts but it's hard to find a shop with the skills to make repairs. Berk and his team really know German cars. I recommend German Car Specialists without hesitation.

Nov 27, 2022

Go to German Car Specialists if you're looking for honest, professional, quality work at a fair price for your BMW, porche or Audi. Berk and his team go the extra mile and I highly recommend their services.

Nov 27, 2022

I cannot say enough great things about German Car Specialist. They installed Dinan axle-back exhaust and a splitter on my bmw. They were very accommodating to my tight schedule. The great communication and professionalism earned by business. I trust them with my vehicle which I cannot say about many other places.

Nov 27, 2022

I have driven many German luxury cars and finding a trusted repair specialist at a fair price is THE KEY! When I moved to San Antonio, I tried several places before finding GCS... Both of my BMW's will only be coming here for care!

Nov 27, 2022

I have used Berk and his team for a number of years now, on various services he provides, first on my MKV GTI and now on my MK7, he is fair and honest guy which I appreciate and for sure tells you how it is . .its a shame he doesn't work on Mercedes or I would also take my wife's car there.

Nov 27, 2022

I was looking for a good mechanic for my Porsche to do the routine maintenance for and was lucky enough to find German Car Specialists. As soon as I walked in and talked to the owner, I knew I was talking to someone that was honest and passionate about cars and the work that his shop performs. Their prices are fair and reasonable (esp compared to the outrageous price the dealership charges) and the work is excellent.

Nov 27, 2022

I've taken my Audis here for over 10 years and they know their stuff. Whether troubleshooting an oil leak or misfires, these guys know Audis and they will figure it out and fix it for a fair price. I highly recommend them.

Often times I work on my own car as I have been burned in the past by dishonest mechanics. However, I’m willing to admit when to leave a job for a professional and made the choice to bring it to Berk. I had a leaky water pump assembly and he was able to give me a prompt estimate and appointment scheduled. Upon meeting him, he was very personable and had a clear attention to detail. He took the time to send a picture of where it was leaking on the thermostat assembly (see picture), which is much appreciated when the curtain is lifted a little behind a shop’s work and the progress on your car. All in all, the service was great, the work was great, and the price was right. I will for sure recommend this shop to all of my other euro friends. 😉
