I imported a car last fall that no one has seen or worked on in the USA, a 2000 Rover 75 with the 2.5-liter Rover V-6 engine. I knew the car needed work to take care of deferred (sloppy) maintenance. I asked several friends who are into new-ish European cars for recommendations on who could change the timing belts/water pump, etc. That's how I landed at Auto Europe. I spoke with Jeff, a service writer, about the job and requested Jon Kotila, one of the most experienced techs at Auto Europe. Long story short: before I brought the car in for service, it sounded like a diesel and was just off. It wasn't running bad, but it wasn't right. Although the car sat for a few weeks before it was serviced, it came back like a totally different car. The engine is as quiet as a church mouse. It is smoother and quicker and totally dialed in. I budgeted more for the job, which included changing all three motor mounts, and was pleasantly surprised at the lower bill. Bottom line: Auto Europe's service department is excellent. 5 well earned Stars. read more

I've been bringing my classic Mini to them for quite a while now, and they managed to address some driveability issues and get it purring nicely in time for the Dream Cruise. And, if you need to wait around a bit, it's like walking around a car show with the coolest imported sports and luxury cars you can think of... read more

I brought my Porsche in for an oil pressure concern. Their master Porsche tech diagnosed it within an hour and repaired it in a timely manner (applying the diagnostic fee to the repair). Cy, the service writer, was responsive and very customer focused. The shop and the overall experience are as professional and as clean as I've seen. Consider Auto Europe for German car service. read more

I had a great experience with Auto Europe. My car had several scratches and they were repaired beautifully- virtually undetectable. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating, especially Chris Young, the detail manager. I couldn't be happier. read more

Their work is OK. I've had a situation where they did something incorrectly, but they did figure it out after I brought it back and they fixed it. Pricing is sometimes less then you would get at the dealership, sometimes actually more (surprisingly). Also, depending on the kind of car you have, even if the level of service and the type of service is minimal, they will still up-charge you based on the type of car you have. So for example, an oil change on an Audi will take as much time and difficulty as an oil change on a Bentley. But taking oil and parts out of the equation, just the labor/service charge alone would be 4 or 5 times higher on the Bentley with these people, and I think that's wrong... read more

I called earlier in the week to see if I could leverage their services as a Tire Rack installer to have my winter wheels and tires swapped out on my 2015 Subaru Outback. I was told that I could be accommodated today. The Auto Europe representative on the phone went through a discussion with me about TPMS on my car, which led me to believe they could handle the wheel and tire swap and a TPMS reset. After all, why would he have even discussed TPMS with me over the phone? I was encouraged by this discussion, because I figured a place called "Auto Europe" might not be the best place for a Subaru. The Auto Europe representative allayed my concerns. I had reasonable dealings with them in the past when they were handling both the seasonal tire swaps, and the seasonal tire storage on my 2009 Porsche Cayman S. So, I figured I had enough reason to trust that the job could be done right based on both those experiences, and the fact that they are a Tire Rack recommended installer, who also installed, mounted, balanced my winter wheels on my Porsche in the past. Today, I brought the Subaru in. Pretty much, everything seemed okay until I had driven the car almost the entire way home--a good 15 - 20 minute drive. The TPMS warning light came on. I unloaded my wheels and tires and found that the headliner in the cargo compartment was marred by the road/tire grime. I unloaded the wheels and tires at home. I let loose some expletives. I went back to Auto Europe to find remedies for both my TPMS, and my headliner issues. They had neither any idea how to reset the TPMS, nor any equipment to reset the TPMS, which is not at all what I expected based on my conversation with the shop's representative earlier in the week. The guy at Auto Europe asked me if I tried to reset the TPMS. I told him that my impression was that I was unable to do so (without taking the car to a dealer or an installer with specialized equipment). He told me he had no such equipment for a Japanese car, had no idea about them, etc. This, of course did no really fit my expectations based on my phone conversation with the Auto Europe representative earlier in the week. The guy at the shop today did offer to clean my headliner. I'll give home that. He did say in a seemingly arrogant fashion something to the effect of, "I don't know how that happened. [Our guys] are very careful with the kinds of cars we usually work on here." I asked something to the effect of, "Well, why wouldn't they be as careful with my car?" They could certainly have put my wheels and tires in large plastic bags like the local Firestone shop near my home, who installed my winter wheels in the first place. I'll be dealing with them instead to have my seasonal wheel/tire swaps done in the future. I could have avoided the two 20-minute round trips to Auto Europe, the extra 20-minute round trip, waiting time, and the extra expense of $20 to have the job finished by the Firestone shop near my home. The Firestone shop isn't perfect by any means. My past experiences with Auto Europe working on my Porsche tire swaps led me to give it a try to see if I could make all of this go more smoothly. Apparently, I forgot the saying: the enemy of good is perfect. What an expensive mistake. UPDATE: To give credit where credit is due, Tom from Auto Europe called me later in the day to apologize for what happened. He also went on to say that the gentleman I dealt with earlier in the day wasn't aware that they had just purchased a tool which would allow them to most probably reset my TPMS. Apparently, when I came in one of the two technicians who knew about it/how to use it was off. The other was on his lunch break. Tom did offer to try to reset my TPMS at no cost if I hadn't had it done already. Thanks to Tom for the courtesy of the call, but still, it would cost me time, which IS money, to have it done. Nice offer, but it should have been handled properly from the start, and I shouldn't have had to waste my time and another $20 (when the original cost for the wheel/tire swap was $40) to get someone else to reset my TPMS. read more

I've been using Auto Europe for the past 15+ years for service work and Tom and his Team have always delivered high quality work at reasonable prices. During my most recent visit to have new tires installed it was determined that I had lost my locking lug nut key. The tech was able to locate a key they had to fit my car which helped me avoid a costly process to remove the locking lug from each wheel end and install new studs. They sold me their key for a very reasonable price. Time, hassel, and money saved. Thanks Auto Europe! Special shout out to Phil the Porsche Tech. Over the years he has worked on both air and water cooled cars for me and I have always been happy with his work. He is always willing to go through the repair details which is something I find vey important and helpful. read more

Took my Rover in for a check engine light & low coolant light. They said it needed a new auxiliary water pump. Few weeks later light came back on. They said it needed a new hose. Few weeks later the lights came back on along some whiter smoke from the exhaust. They said that I must have let it over heat, warped the heads, and blew the heads gaskets and they would like $14,361 to repair it. That's total BS because if you have(or had) a Rover you know there are enough idiot lights on those things to alert right away if anything is not normal...there is even a warning to tell you that you license plate light bulb is out! It is now at a different shop getting a new motor for $9,500. 2 seconds opinions said this all could have been avoided if the shop I kept taking it to knew what they were doing. read more

Expert service, very enthusiastic and caring staff. Really concerned with you car and it's service. Repairs on my vintage Jaguar were OUTSTANDING!!!!! Will find no place more knowledgeable about unique British and European cars. read more

Took my e60 m5 in for an oil and filter change. I supplied the parts. $67.50 total in labor. Very fair. Took an hr and they even let me use their iphone charger when my phone ran outta juice. Good shop with a nice front desk to keep you company while your car is being worked on. Relax in their showroom and look around. Usually a nice lotus parked in there as they are the lotus/morgan dealer of the area. There are 3 businesses in the same building. A dent removal one. A detail. And then the mechanic/autosales side. Will be trying the detail one next week. Highly recommended read more

Save yourself from overpriced repairs. Had been going there for years and pleased with service. Recently this summer shop charged me ~$200 to replace two bubs and unscrew a tough to remove screw from my license plate. The shop claimed it took the tech 1 hour to remove the screw and charged me for two hours of labor, parts were less than ~$30 but labor cost was not reflective of what should have been fairly charged. I was shocked when I went in to pick up the car and felt completely duped. I expressed my concern and was called by the GM who talked me down, but never followed though on a partial refund. I took down my original review as I thought this guy was legit and I felt badly about leaving an unflattering review. He never followed through. All sizzle and no steak. read more

Had an agreement with Bret to trade vehicles even up over a long telephone conversation, and it went downhill from there. So....... I sent my hauler over 250 miles to deliver my car and to pick up my new one (race car). However, once my hauler got there and got everything unloaded and the new car loaded, Bret told the driver he could not leave until he talked to me and collected $500......for an even trade...????? Long story short, after my driver waited 2 Hours, I was forced to pay Auto Europe (Bret) $500 in order to release him and the car. Bret claimed that he had to spend money on the trade (73' Volkswagen Beetle) which just had full engine restoration. Here's where it gets interesting.........Bret assures me that most if not all of the $500 will be refunded once he runs the car through his shop. So now, I take delivery of my race car, come to find out that EVERY PIECE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT on the car is/was OUT OF DATE (which was never communicated to me). So, after addressing the fire suppression system, new belts, and a new Fuel Cell (over $3,000 out of my pocket later) I find out that the fuel that was in the car had been sitting for years and not blown out of the system properly, which in turn had rusted the valves. NOT A GOOD SITUATION FOR A RACE CAR Moral of story, I told Bret I would GLADLY trade cars back which he refused to do so, along with refusing to return my $500.......and now he is telling me that my issue is not with AUTO EUROPE now, but a third party called CENTRAL CLASSIC CARS which they just merged with.......... the buck has been passed............ B U Y E R B E W A R E ! ! ! ! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TRADING OR PURCHASING ANYTHING FROM BRET ABRAMS / AUTO EUROPE. read more

I bought a used vehicle from Auto Europe. The car was in immaculate condition after they finished with it and turned it over to me. They did more than they had to in my opinion. These guys can be trusted. read more

Let me say this, auto europe is the best independent mechanic place in the area and they are truly honest and extremely fair. I have been to many different dealerships and independent mechanics and I never felt at home with the best people at any other place then Auto Europe. I expect the best and I except consistency from my mechanics and service advisors and these people deliver it every time. Tom, Adam, Christian, etc have always been attentive to my request and they do everything right. The mechanics there do the best tire/wheel balancing, alignment and out of warranty repairs compared to anyone I know. I may have more knowledge then the average automobile customer and I do research and look up what needs to be done on my car and auto europe does the right thing for me for the best pricing. I highly recommend them and request that people give them a try. I have been going to them for 8 years and will continue to do so for many years to come. read more

I bought a Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster?* from Auto Europe Sales, 677 S Eton, Birmingham MI 48009 General Manager Bret Abraham bret@autoeuropesales.com I went to the DMV Office to register the Jaguar. But they denied, because the VIN of the car is a Coupé 2+2 A DMV Officer told me why not:"the Jaguar could be a stolen car". And also:"We could confiscate the car". The title doesn't belong to the Jaguar Roadster. Where is the Coupé and where is the title of the Roadster? http://www.brasswind.org/Auto_Europe_Birmingham_MI_48009.htm read more

I have purchased my 2003 G55 from this dealership/shop about two weeks ago. So far, my best car buying experience ever. I was searching long time for deal Iike this and I found them on cargurus. I always had the thing for the Europe import cars. But could not effort new one. Here, I got deal what I could not refuse. I felt like I'm buying my dream car from my brother. (owner) Got a great deal well below market price. They check the car in the shop with me and there was no waiting time. The paperwork took 20 minutes top. No jokes here. If you like Europe imports or need to fix your car, check them out you want be disappointed. I was not. Thank you Auto Europe. read more

I've had track day inspections and service done here a couple of years. No B.S. from these guys. I trust them.

I feel like this shop means well but there often seems to be one or two details they forget to do during a repair. I wish I could find an affordable and trustworthy repair shop in the Birmingham area. read more

Tom in service has always been attentive to my service needs. I ace been using AutoEurope for over 6 years now and cannot say enough about Tim and his staff. Thank you. read more

I can't speak for the sales department of Auto Europe but the customer service is top notch. I had an accident with my vehicle and was directed towards Tom Shick for service and repairs and can say I have never had an automotive service experience go so smooth with excellent repairs to show. Tom was respectful, attentive, and had my car repaired and detailed (looked brand new) in half the time it would normally take at a dealership. I will definitely be taking my vehicles back to Tom when I have a problem. read more
