The service is excellent and all interactions have been wonderful. Years ago he assisted/coached me thru an insurance issue when another mechanic messed up my car my insurance paid and f/u with other mechanic. I have continued taking my BMW to him & have had excellent service. Kind! knowledgeable & honest. read more

Awful / Rude - Chris hung up on me when I asked what the $245 diagnostics would include. Said he had to pay for thousands of dollars in test equipment and I shouldn't question further. "I don't want to do business with you, dude" was his quote and click hung up read more

Chris did an excellent job diagnosing the electrical issue with my BMW. Autobahn fixed the problem at a reasonable price and in a reasonable time frame. I highly recommend Autobahn Los Gatos for your expensive auto needs. Thank you Autobahn Teralyn C. read more

I've been going to Autoban for several years I'm on my third car with them. The first time I went there, they said your windshield wipers are a little worn will put them in for free . From then on, I was sold . They always tell you exactly what you need for your car and then give you the option of what you want to R fix. They're great. read more

I just picked up my Mercedez-Benz and am very pleased with the fair and honest manor we were treated. We agreed it wasn't financially viable to make the needed repairs, but very happy with the honesty and not being pushed to do something that didn't make financial sense. It is so refreshing to work with a business who puts integrity as a top priority! read more

I would like to thank Chris and his team for the professional care they've offered. Most recently proceeded with a repair of my BMW cooling system. This was a costly repair, and they were exceptional at reaching out to my auto warranty to submit a claim which covered 75% of Costs. Car is working great, I have no hesitations in recommending this group. read more

I've had two different Mercedes for the past 10 years and they always stay in excellent condition because I bring them here for all services and unexpected issues. Thank you guys for taking care of my cars and making sure that I am driving a safe and reliable vehicle. I love Autobahn Los Gatos! read more

I want to compliment Chris from Autobahn, for trying to help me with a service problem with a dealership. He sat and talked with me, trying to help me solve the problem and how to handle it as best as possible. This was not to his advantage financially. He was just giving me good customer service. I truly appreciate his help, and honesty and integrity, and taking to time to talk with me. We need more businesses like this. Thank you, Gae L. read more

Great customer service and friendly employees, Can't beat the price for the excellent service read more

My first visit to this shop, just moved to Los Gatos. The headlights on my 96 Mercedes were scratched and yellowed, didn't feel safe driving at night. They applied a solution that removed the yellowing and the lights are much better, I'd guess twice as bright as before. But Chris said he wasn't totally satisfied with the result, so didn't charge me for it! What honesty, integrity and generosity. I'll be coming back for any service or repairs I need. read more

STAY FAR FAR AWAY! Unfortunately, I was manipulated just like the previous reviewers. This establishment does not fix your car. They release the car to you with the original problem, but not before they charge you for services and "other" supposed things wrong with your car. Chris told me we have a hole in our oil gasket and said he would show me a picture but never did. The car came out with the original problem with the engine light on. I took it somewhere else and they gave me the same code as Autobahn was supposed to fix. Chris from Autobahn said its another $1600 to fix. The other shop said there was a clamp loose and it cost $100. On our other car took it in for EGR issue. Chris said said our front brakes and rear brakes need replacement but only did the back ones, but the quote on the phone was supposed to cover both and an EGR issue. They released it, but as I was driving it home it had the same engine light on. I took it back another day. They said its fixed but then said there is a couple more thousand dollars worth of work still. When the front brakes failed 2 months later, I realized they only did the back ones. Chris yelled at me on the phone instead of listening to the facts. The other issues costing more money were never mentioned when I picked up the car. Unfortunately after paying over $5000 for 2 cars, I read the reviews. The same exact situation for both of our cars. This place was referred to me so I didn't look up the reviews. I noticed I'm not the only one they fooled. I'm in the process of working with Bureau of Automotive Repair reporting their corrupt business. If my issue doesn't get resolved, I will take them to small claims court. I would give them negative stars if I could! There is no quality, no value and most of all no honesty! I hope you are not reading this after getting work done! read more

I got my GLS550 transfer case leak fixed, professional service, good technicians, also owner Chris has been great in explaining every question I had. Strongly recommend it. read more

Friendly, fast and honest. Always gives an option on what's most important and what can wait.

My Merc GL and BMW 335 are both meticulously maintained by this crew. In fact, I've put off replacing with new cars as they're so we'll maintained. Honest assessments and advice, highly experienced techs, realistic time/$ estimates, and reasonable prices. These guys are the real deal. read more

I would recommend this shop. Professional and honest. Had a problem with transmission on my old CL500, indicating conductor plate and solenoid issues. The guys looked at the car and refused to inspect/replace the solenoids at my request, recognizing that 722.9 transmissions with VGS1 TCUs were mated to the specific valve body, and instead recommended to replace the entire valve body/TCU assembly to ensure that the car is running at it's best if they agree to take on the work. When I decided to not go down the recommended path, because the car is not worth the extra investment, the shop did not charge a dime for the consultation/inspection. read more

Interesting Experience for sure. Dave was on Vacation so I dealt with Gray. I won't comment on what Gray did or did not do to my car but long story short he ended up spilling oil all over my engine. He said he tried to clean it off but alas when I got home it dripped oil all over my driveway. When I called back Dave was still on vacation so i tried talking to Gary about it but he quickly got to yelling at me on the phone so I hung up. Waited until Dave returned and talked with him. He was defense but agreed to pay for my engine to be steam cleaned and my driveway to be power washed. Took me about 2 weeks to get it all lined up and had the work done which took about 3 hours of my time. So my am I writing a review. Went in to get reimbursed for the work today that Dave agreed to pay for and he could not have been ruder or more of an ass. He paid me but only as a bad lousier does on a lost bet - with enough attitude to make you wonder why you went to this shop in the first place. If you are up for an adventure this would be the place to go. read more

Once my warranty and service agreement ended with Mercedes I started using Autobahn Los Gatos. The service is incredible here. I have delt with both Dave and Gary and they have never led me wrong. They even help me decide when it was time for me to let my old CLK 320 (13 years old - I loved that car) go. When I purchased my GLK I decided not to buy the service agreement with MBZ as I knew I had a good source for maintenance. I have cheated on Autobahn in the past with less costly repair and maintenance places but the cost savings ended up being spent on waiting for car parts, not getting things right the first time, continued back and forth, etc. Sorry but my time is precious too. I highly recommend Autobahn Los Gatos. Dave and Gary run a business that is high quality, honest and efficient! read more

I stopped by to get my oil changed and during that process they found that rats nested in my car. If you looked into my engine, you can see where the rats ate some of the insulation. Instead of charging me a huge fee to fix it they recommended that I get rat poision and they showed me exactly where to pour it into the car. Since I know nothing about cars, they could have charged me a really high fee to get rid of the rats and I wouldn't have known the difference. I am very thankful that Dave was honest with me, and he provided me with great service. I needed a few things fixed with my car, and I had them write out a list of priorities that needed to be done. What needs to be done NOW, in the next year etc etc. It really helped having this list, because I just graduated college and I am on a right budget. I highly recommend Autobahn of Los Gatos. read more

WOW what a great experience, Dave is the best. Talked to Dave about what my car needed and he told me the cost and what work would be done. Service was done less that I thought and done right. definitely Five Stars and i would recommend Dave without reservation. Just a note this is my first Mercedes CLS 63 AMG and Dave made the process fun with no stress. Thanks ***** read more

I have been using Autobahn since 2012. They service my BMW X3 and my Mini. I have always found them to be responsive, honest easy to deal with. I recommend them highly. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! Total rip off! A $300 fix turned into a $1,300!!!!! He told me this huge fake story for why he had to charge that much. He said it was due to shipping the parts over. Never going back here again and neither should you read more

These guys have "TOO MUCH" attitude....Especially Mr. David who serviced me on my BMW repair. I have owned multiple Bimmers and used several non-dealership outfits. I felt this place to be "A Rip Off!"also. Mr David has "NO IDEA" as to what customer service is! Rude Dude. Never go there if you can avoid. I don't usually write bad reviews as at times it will hurt good people otherwise and usually don't have much time. read more

We went to this shop based on the positive reviews, but our experience did not live up to those reviews. They may be fine for routine maintenance, but their inability to diagnose and repair a problem cost us $180 and we still have the problem. We took our X5 to Autobahn Los Gatos because the ABS was activating when it shouldn't. One of the techs test drove it in the parking lot and confirmed that the ABS was not functioning properly. Dave wrote up the work order while I gave him the recent repair history of the car, as we suspected the problem was related to a previous repair done by another shop. I told him that the car has the self-leveling air spring suspension that mechanics dread, and that there was abnormal leveling activity that had started at the same time as the ABS problem. Dave confidently said it was unlikely the suspension issue was related to the ABS problem. Later that afternoon Dave called and said the car was fixed. He stated they spent sometime troubleshooting the problem and were unable to figure it out, as the car's computer was not giving any fault codes. He said that they ended up rotating the wheels and that this fixed the ABS problem, though he was at a loss as to how this fixed it. He assured me that they had test driven the car after rotating the wheels and the ABS was not acting up. We had to pick up the car after hours, and noticed the ABS problem was still present on the drive home. Perhaps the ABS had behaved itself for a brief test drive after the rotation, but the problem was apparent again within 1 mile of leaving the shop. I called the next day and told Dave that rotating the wheels had failed to fix the problem, and scheduled another appointment to have it looked at again. We brought the car back today. My husband did an extensive test drive with Dan, one of the techs. Everyone was in agreement that the ABS problem was still there and that the suspension was not leveling the car properly. Dave said it would be $400 more to try to fix the problem, and partially justified this cost because we hadn't said the suspension was a problem when we first brought it in. I resented this, as I had clearly told him about the suspension at the first appointment. Perhaps he had forgotten. Nevertheless, the discussion about the ABS and suspension problems among Dave, Gary and Dan and my husband and myself made us feel that they did not have the expertise to accurately diagnose and correct the problems. We felt like we would be spending a lot more money without much confidence that a fix would be found, as we were already $180 into it without a resolution. We also weren't comfortable with how they write their invoices. I understand (and expect) to pay for diagnostic time. Other shops we've taken our vehicles to have a clear breakdown of the labor rate multiplied by the time spent, as well as itemized parts costs. The invoice for the tire rotation was vague and did not show the labor rate or the time spent. $180 is a lot for a tire rotation, so it would have been helpful to know what else was done and how the time was spent, particularly when the problem is still present. As a customer, I like to know what I'm paying for. This vague invoicing system is another reason I won't return. read more

The most overpriced auto repair shop I have seen in 50+ years of owning a car. Replacement of mass flow sensor, $150 part at most, cost $659 parts and labor, Mercedes c230 Last time I had it done the cost was $350, slightly overpriced at that. Jim read more

Took my 328i there and it ended up needing a new water pump. they told us they were going to just replace the water pump but also did other did other UNAUTHORIZED work on the car didn't tell us and then CHARGED us for it. and by the level of gas it seems they took it for a long drive also. more then needed to see that it was working. we've always taken it to BRRacing but theyre a bit pricey so we decided so try autobahn but they were even more pricey and didnt do half as good work as BRRacing. They were not nearly as friendly and bad customer service. read more

I keep a car in San Jose, but live out of town. I was heading down to the central coast when I saw my check engine light come on. I had just had a window repaired at Stevens Creek BMW that took 2 times and 8 days to properly repair at an exorbitant price. Clearly I was not going to try them again. I looked on-line, contacted Autobahn and they said bring the car in. The 2 owners David and Gary moved me to the front of the line, made 2 significant repairs in 4 hours on jobs that normally take a full day+. It was an amazing and rare experience for a new customer at a busy shop. They will have all my business in perpetuity and when I drive my other cars to San Jose, I will look to have them serviced there too. They are heads and shoulders above any dealer service dept. I have ever seen. Thanks guys!!!!! read more

Drove by last month and saw this place. So glad I did since my M3 soon after prompted for new front and rear brakes. I brought it here and Dave took all my info. He is a very polite and direct person. Some might take that as rude, but I appreciate that approach since I don't have the patience to deal with sugar coating and ass kissing. He took care of everything and even went beyond when he found a rats nest hidden on the engine. The car has been sitting for a couple of weeks so the nest wasn't a major problem but he gave a few recommendations on how to take care of the problem before it becomes an expensive repair. read more

We sought out Autobahn Los Gatos after our regular shop attempted to repair a door lock problem 3 times without success. Dave diagnosed the issue, sent us back to our original shop so they could repair it for no additional cost under their service warranty. Imagine their surprise when I told them what the problem would be, and was right! Dave has our business going forward. read more

Great job repairing and maintaining Diana's 335i. Thanks for fitting us into your schedule, even at the last minute. I highly recommend Autobahn. read more

You won't find a better BMW/Mercedes repair shop in the Los Gatos area. I first found them when BMW Stevens Creek quoted me a huge sum of money to fix the convertible roof on my 3 Series. Autobahn did it the same day for half the price. From that day on, I've had them service both my BMW and my ML350 Merc for a variety of jobs - some big, some small. The owner Dave and his head mechanic Gary are super nice people and super competent. And honest as the day is long - you won't get ripped off here. Another story - I just stopped by for a replacement brake lamp. One of the technicians broke away from another job and fixed it for me there and then, and refused to take a penny in exchange - not even the price of the bulb. You'd maybe think this was because I'm a regular customer but the technician who helped me was new - had never seen me or my car before. He just did it as a nice gesture. Old-fashioned customer service at its best - that's why I keep going back. Highly recommended! read more

I just stopped by today to get my micro filter changed. Dave was great. Ordered the part and I swung by later that day to him them swap it out. Totally did me a solid. These guys are always great to work with. read more

I found Autobahn of Los Gatos (Dave) to be honest, very reasonably priced and provide great service. I no longer feel the need to go to the dealer for any repairs or service, I know when I drop my car off it's in good hands! read more

I had great experiences with Autobahn in the past. For example, I had an engine warning light come up on in my car and they spent quite a bit of time on trying to diagnose it and diagnosed a software glitch and didn't charge me anything, which was more than gracious. However, I just brought my car in after another warning light came on (seemingly unrelated to the first warning light incident) and they charged me $900 to swap out six coils (which on the internet run ~$160) and ~30 more minutes of work. It certainly fixed the problem but friends said the job is super easy and the price for a relatively quick and easy job was quite excessive, so I will be looking for new BMW shop... read more

Don't waist your time and money bringing your car to a dealerships these guys are your one stop auto shop. I've had issues in the past with other shops: the bill is higher than expected, I don't quite understand what service they are preforming, etc. etc. Gary and Dave always take time to fully explain the problem and what steps they're going to take to fix them and what the cost is before they start the work! The staff is friendly and professional. I don't plan on looking for another repair shop any time soon. read more

I went last year to fix my BMW X5, Since they touched my car, I have been having a lots of problems. I went today to fix AC,Chris was very rude,dishonest and unprofessional when I asked him questions. He charged me a large amount of money without fixing anything for my car. Also,he let me sign a paper without explaining, and after I signed, I found out a hidden words so that he can charge you more and fight you back when you catch him.Chris was threatening me when I asked him to explain what he did for me. These people are just want easy money without quality work. CHRIS is the worst customer service provider. My sisters and brothers, please do not go to AUTOBAHN,find other auto services in the area. Autobahn has the poorest customer service and quality of work. They will damage your car as they did to my car and charge you a hidden charge as they did charge me. read more

Dave and his staff are probably *the* most ethical auto service repair guys I've ever met! Dave runs a tight shop based on customer service satisfaction and prides himself on how knowledgeable he and his staff are about the repairs and service they offer. Dave stands behind the work that he and his team performs. You totally get what you pay for and you'll get every penny's worth of service bringing your car to Autobahn Los Gatos! read more

I've been a customer here for around 10 years. I'm now on my second BMW being serviced at Autobahn Los Gatos. They've seen the first one past 225k and it's still going strong. I can't say enough positive things about these guys. They've always gone the extra mile and more for me. Pleasant, accommodating, knowledgeable, capable, available, lots of other positive -ables. Thanks guys; here's to hoping the next ten years will be as good as the last ten. read more

So, my experience today definitely deserves a 5-star rating. The coil on one of my cylinders gave out, and I was facing a long holiday weekend without a car. I called on a Friday morning before 4th of July, and they got me right in despite being very busy, replaced the cylinder for a fair price, and I was back on the road by the mid-afternoon. Holiday saved! read more

Autobahn Los Gatos is a top notch place. They did the Pre-purchase Inspection (PPI) on my '91 BMW M5. I found their techs helpful and friendly. I returned with my M5 to freshen up the suspension with Dinan parts as well as a few other upgrades and the service was again, excellent. I will not hesitate to recommend Dave and his team to any of my friends. read more

Awesome service. Awesome pricing. Super-fast turn around. David is as nice as they come, as well. Took my MINI in for a thermostat replacement and window actuator replacement. I had the car back the same day. Even though the mechanic cracked the throttle vacuum line, Dave fixed it for free the very next morning before I had to go to work. TOTALLY AWESOME. This guy stands behind his work, and will even mail you a thank you card afterward! read more
