Great service done quickly. They know old Volkswagens. I had a bad oil pressure sensor and they actually had them in stock. Car was fixed the day after we had it towed there.

New to the area and needed to find a place to service my VW in a pinch. Called half a dozen shops, and Motorkars was the one that went above and beyond, providing transparent and quick service. Highly recommend!

Worked with Aaron on servicing a 2015 A3. Needed a new water pump, thermostat, radiator and coupling. I cannot speak enough of their willingness to offer superior service at a reasonable price. Thankful for their presence in the greater Columbus area. I would recommend them and I will be using their services in the future!

Been bringing all my cars to them for a couple years now. Review is over due. Always knowledgeable and great service. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Had some services performed and got a quote for several others. As far as I know oil change and brake flush were done fine, though not cheaply. Quote for other services seemed high. After leaving the shop, my hood was left unlatched, which I discovered after it started shaking on the highway. I notified them and they warned me about the latch possibly being faulty (it's not, no issues before or since), nothing else. Unprofessional. Overpriced. Update: At the visit above here I asked them to look at my rear engine mounts, they said they only needed re-torqued, no change in vibrations. Now at another mechanic regarding an exhaust leak most likely caused by BAD REAR ENGINE MOUNTS. Downgraded to 1 star from 2.

Very up front and communicative, and they get the work done quickly and professionally. Would recommend!

Aaron is the guy!

Been with Motorkars for one and a half year. I got a 2012 VW GLI and I was initially referred by a race shop as they don't do intake install. Did the intake install, ended up asking them to did the 50k mile full service later next week. Somebody burnt my clutch and I was super worried at the moment. Aron assured me that if the clutch is worn I can already feel it and stressed the unnecessarily to get it checked as replacing clutch cost a fortune. Since I insisted it should be checked, he asked the mechanic to drive it if this made me assured. Also Curtis is a great talker, he wouldn't stop explaining about mechanics when you asked, and I learnt a great deal from him. Later when I asked about options for breaks as they advised me that my breaks are going to wear out soon. They recommended me few options but reminded me that they are repair shop and their opinions might not be as accurate as race shops. But I ended up buying EBC breaks they recommended and ask them to install for me. Later last year my timing chain seal leaked and ruined the reservoir, quoted me a fair labor price and got it done as soon as they could. And early this year, I was out of town and by battery started to built up residue, I called Aron and he texted me the tools I need and how can I do it. Now I'm switching my car for a subie so I went back to them to print out all my service records. When I asked about reputable subie shops, Aron was more than happy to ask around and researched then tell me all the fine shops in town. Definitely recommend this shop!

Great service on our BMW. Thanks!


Dec 07, 2023

If you have a German car and you want the work done right, this is the place to go. My wife and I and both my daughters have always had positive experiences here over many years with our respective VWs and BMW.


Dec 07, 2023

Straightforward and forthright; great job!


Dec 07, 2023

Aaron was very detailed and transparent on the quote and repair for my 2008 BMW 1 Series. The entire staff was friendly.


Dec 07, 2023

Great shop with trustworthy mechanics that can explain what's going on to me clearly.


Dec 07, 2023

Honest and knowledgeable, can’t ask for much more.


Dec 07, 2023

They were very fast and productive providing an estimate and looking into parts for me! i would recommend!


Dec 07, 2022

Exceptional care & knowledge - if I break it, the team here fixes it!


Dec 07, 2022

Great, thorough work on Audis.


Dec 07, 2022

MotorKars is the best! They have taken such great car of my vehicle and always explain in detail what's going on. There was an issue with my sunroof leaking and we ran into many issues, but they were determined to see it through till it was fixed! Absolutely amazing people and company. It is clear that integrity is the most important to them. Highly recommended!!


Dec 07, 2022

Always very thorough, friendly, and honest. They care about my car as much as I do!


Dec 07, 2022

Excellent service. I will recommend 5his place to my Spanish speaking people .


Dec 07, 2022

Generally good experience here. However, I found it interesting that they measured my tire tread at 4” front and 2” back and recommended replacing all 4. I went to Audi and they measured (several measurements per tire) average at 6” and 4”


Dec 07, 2022

I have taken a number of Volkswagens to Motorkars over the years. I can trust them to complete high quality work at a reasonable cost. Their estimates are accurate and they spend time explaining what their recommendations are before moving forward with the work. They also support that I can do some of the work myself, and they can always pick up where I left off. No finger pointing or egos at this shop at all. Thanks Aaron and team - I highly recommend Motorkars!


Dec 07, 2022

Love it!


Dec 07, 2022

My only go to for my Audi… I advise all Audi, Volkswagen, and BMW owners to give them one visit and you decide.


Dec 07, 2022

We are from out of town and our car had an issue they fit us in when no other VW shop could and fixed the issue within 24hours (replaced the steering wheel clock spring) gave us the broken part so we can claim it under warrantee.

2016 VW GTI Autobahn. These guys have been awesome. Aaron has been in constant contact letting me know of any delays or any questions they have for me via phone or email. Master tech was even emailing a little in there with extra details when I asked. I had an issue with an exhaust leak due to the parts I supplied and they made sure to let me know before picking it up so I could address with the manufacturer and I'm taking my GTI back next week for the full catback and intercooler too. Very professional crew and literally zero complaints at all.


Dec 07, 2021

Always a pleasure to work with!


Dec 07, 2021

I took an old VW Scirocco there for an evaluation because it been sitting in a garage for over 20 years. I got an honest evaluation and they didn't charge me.

If you own a German car and want quality work done on it this is the place to go.
