Great customer service and they did a great job diagnosing a gremlin in my 5 series.

Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful auto service! We recently had some ignition issues with a BMW that we had just purchased, so we brought it in to see Chris. It was looking grim before we brought it in, but he was able to diagnose and fix the problem quickly and efficiently. A few weeks later we realized that something was wrong with the engine, and he was able to discover that a different auto shop had screwed up on its last oil change, which could have resulted in a catastrophic disaster to the engine. Chris again diagnosed and solved the problem like a pro! He is the type of guy that takes pride in his work, and it shows by his passion and how thorough he is, with not only his work, but also his way of helping the customer understand these complex German vehicles. We will definitely be returning for any services regarding our BMW and Mercedes-Benz! Thanks again Chris!

Had a great experience at Total German Motors. Chris, was so delightful to work with and he was very accommodating.

Really appreciate this place especially John. I came to them for a second opinion after the dealership quoted me a repair price that was very expensive. After inspection, John and the team found it to be a small part that they were able to fix for a fraction of the price. They were very honest, straightforward, friendly, and professional. Thanks again!

Old Mercedes needing odd repairs. Good advice. Does not try to sell expensive repairs for things of questionable value on older cars. Thank you!

These guys are great! I went to ask information about My sensor problems on My Mercedes ML320 and they verbally guided Me to a couple of solutions. I will definitely be bringing My vehicle to these guys in the future. Knowledgeable and professional.

Highly recommend Total German motorworks for any kind of Automotive service. They bailed me out multiple times on my fleet vehicles got them up and running so the crew was not standing around. They dont only specialize in exotic vehicles they will take care of the small jobs as well. Thanks again for the great service and work.

Honest mechanics.

I drove 4 hours to Mesa to get my car serviced, I called 1st, and I was happy to be assisted by Mike the owner, my VW needed a repair and Mike was able to get the job done in half a day I was able to get my car the following morning. It's so convenient they're open on Saturdays. Mike was considerate of my situation. I have never had great service from anywhere before. I also saved alot on my repair, I will definitely be getting my car serviced at this location always.

I had a drive belt replaced last week and they put it on backwards. There are only two ways to put it on. It then broke and almost damaged my engine, crept to the Mercedes dealership and had to pay for a new one and installation. Yesterday would only(after pressure) refund the cost of the belt and should have paid the extra cost to get it put on correctly. It could have cost a lot of damage.

My BMW E39 M5 developed a leak, a vibration, and the car didn’t seem like the power was there in the upper rpms. The vibration was so bad over 60 mph, it wasn’t fun to drive anymore. I went through control arm replacements, a hub/bearing, a set of wheels, lots of wheel balances, and a new set of tires to address the vibration before moving here from San Francisco. Maybe it was the steering linkage? Parts bought. I didn’t have time to replace the parts here and it’s just too hot for me to DIY. The M5 is mostly a garage queen so I wasn’t in a rush to fix anything but the leak was getting bad. Finally looked under the car with the undercover off and found the leak(s) were coming from the power steering hoses. I cut the ends of the hoses that had hardened, reinstalled them, and there was still a leak coming from somewhere. It was time for a refresh and a professional to help me. I’m so glad I found Chris and John at Total German Motorworks. John checked the car thoroughly and I mean thoroughly. They treated the car like it was their own. John found my steering linkage to be ok but I asked them to replace the linkage anyways since I already bought the parts. He also looked into the suspension, hub/bearing, driveshaft, and everything was tight. The vibration was not coming from anything there. Even though I had replaced the wheels and tires, he suspected the tires had a flat spot (I thought so, too) which they took a video showing the tire wobbling. The wheels was looked into by a sublet wheel specialist where the rims were found to be ok, tires were remounted, and wheels rebalanced. The vibration is about 90% gone now. The other 10% is from the tires not being totally round. It does get better when the tires are warmed up and the flat spot rounds out. During test drives, Chris did confirm the power was odd and they found the car had a small misfire from the old coil packs and one of the MAFs was dying but not throwing a code yet. They bought parts for me and also allowed me to get other parts on my own. That was appreciated! After all was said and done, leak is gone, the vibration is minimal, and the car PULLS. Oh what fun! Thank you Chris and John. You are my go to shop for the M5 since moving here from the Bay Area. Highly recommended!
