I want to give a huge shout-out to Autohaus Munich, specifically Grigory and Susane. They resolved in three days what other mechanics couldn't figure out in three months. Grisha was incredibly thorough--he explained what needed to be done, how, why, and when. Transparency was guaranteed throughout the process. After dealing with the sheer unprofessionalism of mechanics with narrow views, greed, and lack of competence, Grisha broke it down clearly and nailed it. In the last four months, I encountered so much incompetence trying to understand what was happening with my Jaguar. Autohaus Munich showed true professionalism, phenomenal customer service, and guaranteed great work--and they certainly charged me fairly. Needless to say, my car feels incredible today. Highly recommend! read more

I'm so pleased with the quality and value of the work they did on my business cargo van. Although not a European model, they took my Ford Cargo van and did a complete oil change, air filter, and wheel alignment to keep us running and successful on the road for our floral customers in time for Valentine's Day! The complimentary touches do not go unnoticed, the thank you chocolates and the van wash delighted me and are just the right touch of sophistication. A big thank you to Susan! read more

See all

Susan and her team at Autohaus Munich are outstanding. They've continued the same high standards set by the previous owner, Les, with excellent work, full transparency, and fair pricing. It's a small woman-owned business I'm proud to support, and I highly recommend them for reliable, honest automotive care. read more

This shop has SAVED my life. My car is my entire life, it was inoperable and I didn't know what else to do. Susan has worked with me week after week, amazing woman! And Grisha is a wizard!! These people actually care about you personally and your vehicle. It felt like home in their shop. read more

I've been a customer for several years, and was surprised to find it under new management when I brought my 25 year old Z3 in for "do whatever you need to do to make it like new" service. The first estimate was in line with what I expected needed to be done, and they kept me informed as they found emergent problems. They gave me back a car that was spotless inside and out (it was pretty dirty when I dropped it off) and it drives like a beast. Highly recommend. read more

I can not thank Grisha enough for making me feel so comfortable driving my car again. He went above and beyond what I expected, as did Susan keeping me informed what was needed to make this happen! There is a wonderful crew at Autohaus Munich, including Grisha, Marko and Susan. I am certainly going to spread the word, how caring, efficient and trustworthy each one is here. Again thank you again for making me feel SAFE in my car! Just cann't say enough! Lana read more

I am so grateful to have found Susan and the rest of the crew here at Autohaus Munich. They were able to get my car fixed the same day as I called them and the customer service from start to finish was top notch. It's evident that they truly do care about each and every customer. read more

First time in a long time I did not feel taken advantage of by a mechanic. I brought it in for a warning light diagnostic and they quickly diagnosed and gave options. They did not push hard on the extras either. Thank you so much for attentive and reliable service. The entire team there are friendly and helpful. Unexpectedly they washed and vacuumed the car too, no extra charge! Thank You, I'll definitely return! read more

I honestly cannot say good thing enough about this shop (this being come from a car enthusiast and DIY hobbyist). My car (VW 2018 Tiguan) was well taken care of as if it is the mechanic's own car (i think the mechanic's name is Les). In fact, the car was treated better than what Iwould have done it myself. I wanted only to have the battery replaced (after experiencing sluggish engine starts). But Les exceeded all my expectations by first doing a series of tests on the electrical system to make sure it was working correctly. He also thoroughly tested the battery to verify indeed it needed a replacement. During installation of the new battery, Les would vacuum clean everything before putting them back. In the process, the ground strap was removed, cleaned and retightened to make sure the ground is good. That came as a pleasant surprise as that was entirely unexpected. After putting in the new battery, les was able to quickly do adaptation of the battery on the car computer using electronic OBD tools. And all that work at about 1/3 the cost at the dealership. Needless to say I highly recommend for any work anyone want to get done on his/her vehicle. In summary, Appointment was fast Manager was accommodating Top notch mechanics Had tools to deal with modern electronics Car was treated with utmost care Exceeded expectation Cost a fraction of what a dealership charges read more

My regular car place. The owner is always nice and super helpful. He seems honest and not pushy about upselling things that don't need to be done. I've went to this shop for over a year and they've alway been good to me and I have no complaints. Would def recommend. read more

Les was very accommodating and was able to take in my Audi with short notice. Even when he had staff issues on the day of my appointment, he went above and beyond to make sure that the work was completed before my deadline. He was a little grumpy but I love his honesty. Greg was also very knowledgable and professional and such a great guy to deal with. The work was clean and I noticed that they have great attention to detail. Their rates are reasonable and they are honest and transparent with everything. If you're in San Diego or beyond, give Les a call first! read more

Absolutely one of the best European car shops in San Diego. Knowledgeable, kind and quick to offer multiple solutions, Peter is one of the several outstanding folks at Autohaus, and had a look at my BMW F10 this last week. He spent a considerable amount of time attempting to track down a couple of likely electrical gremlins, and following a day of troubleshooting, he simply wouldn't take my money. Of course, I'll be back as a result, and I can see why a lot of people are loyal to this Midway area spot. Great rates on services, with real master techs on site, this is a neat spot to take your BMW, Audi, Mercedes or other Teutonic sled. Great people, cool shop and strong pricing- Recommended! read more

Called for an appointment on March 9th to have all the exterior light bulbs changed as two had burned out and also the heater had suddenly stopped working, the brake light sensor was on and I wanted an overall check up. Greg told me to bring the car in on the 15th. I met Les ( the boss) at a little after 9 AM and we reviewed/confirmed what the appointment was for. He thought they could do everything that day for under $1,000. He called me every day with new things that were bad, worn out or safety concern and had my approval each day. Amazing neglect was found by previous mechanics - for example one shop in LA said we had a brake sensor that was bad but checked the brakes and said they were fine. This shop actually found the car needed brakes and someone had cut the sensor wire and taped it off. Picked up that car before closing on the 19th. Yes, several thousand in parts and labor was owed. All this was within the price and timing we agreed to. I also was able to visually see a milk crate full of the "shot" parts the were replaced. I like this shop and find them to be worth giving them my business. read more

Autohaus Munich - 2007 CLK350 - Auto Repair Near Me - San Diego, California

Les is legit. If you have a German car, don't go anywhere but here. He may charge a little extra for an oil change, but he won't charge $5,000 for a brake job like a dealership. How do you find a trustworthy mechanic? I didn't think they existed. Les changed my mind. I'll never go anywhere else until I move out of San Diego. (Vasily C. 2012 S550) read more

How do I give more than 5-stars! I have been taking my used Mercedes to Les for years. He has always maintained it and fixed problems. He is super honest and charges a fair price (unlike many German luxury car mechanics). He does not bullshit you and always tells you exactly what's going on. Honest, knowledgeable, and fair. I would recommend him to anyone! read more

Best auto shop for German car auto work. Les the owner is really an excellent mechanic and overall great person in general. He went above and beyond to resolve my issue and to explain exactly what was going on with my car. Their pricing is very reasonable and they do great work! read more

Let's just say that Les is more. (See what I did there?) But seriously. Les is the man. He's German. He knows what he's talking about. And he's not out to fleece you. And with Les, there's no bullshit whatsoever. That could turn off some people. He can be blunt. But work through it, you won't be sorry. So. before I met Les and co. I went to a dealer to try and turn off a check engine light. A massive bill resulted. Not what I wanted. I not so politely told the dealer where to go... Did some research... and called Les. He was honest and told me I had options. Tell me more, I said. Well. Long story short, Les and team not only saved me thousands, but did very solid work. My VW Jetta sportwagen is running great. He even proactively had the car smog checked for me. I was out of state and didn't even know. I love that he just ran with it. Short story: this place is legit. Honest approach. Good work. Zero complaints from this driver. read more

I had a stripped out oil plug and jiffy lube and midas wouldnt touch it. I brought it here because i know this shop has the best experts about older generation BMWs. Peter explained to me the procedure with confidence and gave me a great quote. I was kind of stranded and he got it in and out very quick, cutting his lunch short. He also offered me a lot of insight about other issues with the car and I felt much better about my car after his assesment. The owner has many years experience with BMW and Mercedes and I have consulted him several times in the years I've lived in Point Loma. If youre an enthusiast for BMW or Benz you should see him if your looking for a nice used car. Thanks Peter read more

I have been bringing my 2014 Q5 to this shop since purchasing the vehicle. These guys are great. They do great service and top customer service. If you have an Audi or Volkswagen I definitely recommend them for service and maintenance. read more

Autohaus Munich - Auto Repair Near Me - San Diego, California

Very friendly and forthcoming establishment. I was under the impression my transmission had to be replaced, which had me worried. They provided me different options and prices prior to working on my car. After they diagnosed the problem, it turns out my onboard computer needed to be updated. They are a small shop with few mechanics, so it took longer to fix and return my car to me -- not a deal breaker for me. read more

Charged me $200 for an oil change and to look at a tire I said was making a sound. The tire still makes the sound

Leszek and his team are awesome! I live 7 hours away and I needed a 3rd party to do a bumper to bumper check on a Audi I was looking to purchase. These guys did not leave one stone unturned. Thanks for the awesome customer service! read more

The service we have received on our Audi with Les and his team has been wonderful! He has been extremely helpful, friendly, straight forward and willing to go the extra mile. Fast service and response time. His prices are very reasonable and we have never had reoccurring issues after work has been done. I would recommend his shop to anyone! read more

Was referred to Autohaus Munich by a friend. Took my Jetta in for a brake job. They opened on time and took my car into the queue without keeping me waiting around unnecessarily. I received a call a few hours later with a quote (I figured the rotors were ready to go, and they were) and I gave the go-ahead. Picked up my car at the end of the day and it was good to go, price was just as quoted. Throughout the whole process they were very professional. The work was honest and never did I get the typical shady talk that most mechanics use these days. The price was reasonable. The job could be done for cheaper elsewhere, but the difference for the integrity and specific expertise with the cars they service is well worth it. Autohaus Munich has earned another repeat customer! I will (inevitably) be back! read more

For my first trip to Autohaus Munich, I had just gotten a repair estimate from another private BMW shop. The other shop said I needed: - a $1,700 rebuilt computer board - it would be rebuilt in New Jersey - It would take 2-3 weeks, probably more since it was Christmas - I would have to rent a car while my car was not drivable Peter at Autohaus Munich did some research and discovered that I needed a wheel bearing. It was done that day for a few hundred dollars. It was a much better Christmas! In the half dozen times I have been there since, I have always felt they got the work done quickly and fairly. What more can we auto owners ask for? read more

Took my car here on a recommendation from a friend. I was leary because I don't trust auto mechanics from my past experiences but didn't want to take my car to a dealership either. These guys were great and I felt completely comfortable. They were very professional and specialize in BMWs using only BMW oem parts which is important to me. Lascheck (sp?) and Peter were very nice and helpful. They diagnosed the issue and would recommend the right fix.. and the best part... they did not call me an hour later to tell me I had 5 other things that needed fixing. I hate that up sell crap. They only called me when my car was done. Their prices are much more affordable than the dealership. I trust this shop and will only take my car here from now on. Thanks guys! read more

I would definitely give Autohaus Munich 6 stars if it were possible! When I first moved here, I took my Audi to a mechanic I found online with really good reviews. However, he didn't specialize in german cars, so one time he told me he didn't have enough knowledge to diagnose the particular issue at the time. He then referred me to Les at Autohaus Munich in Point Loma, and I've been a loyal customer ever since! Les is an honest, German mechanic that really knows German cars. This was immediately proven to me when the car he used to drop me off at work was an incredibly difficult car to upkeep. He has a small shop right off the 8 in Point Loma, open 8am-5pm Monday to Friday. I am also really impressed with Peter on his staff. He physically shows me the damaged part of my car, explaining what exactly was done and why. I'm the kind of person that loves learning and asks about 150 questions, so you can only imagine how this thrills me so. Plus, he's just a cool guy. So is Les! Les is the kind of mechanic that is smart enough to fix things, not just replace parts. He saved me over $1,000 on my air conditioner because he took a chance and researched an alternative fix. I will continue to take my car to his shop until its dying breath. And then, I might buy a car from him because he also rebuilds old cars! read more

I don't even know where to start with this scam of an auto mechanic. If you want to pay out the nose for terrible car service and even worse customer service attitude go here. I took my Audi here the other day for an easy fix job only because it was close to my house. They end up telling me the whole radiator needs to be replaced as well as the headlight. Radiator job is going to be 950 and their price on the headlight would be 2800. Oh and they only use their own crappy parts, which I would not be allowed to buy myself. I call my usual mechanic tells me the part is only 250 and the headlight new would be 2100. So basically they are over charging 700 on each part for their shitty labor services. Naturally wanting to save myself 700 dollars I call and say I'm going to take it elsewhere, he " Peter"says ok that's fine with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. When I go in there just expecting to tow my car out of there Peter gives me the worst attitude being the little condescending cretin he is and charges me 110 dollars to take my front bumper off. We get in an argument where he tells me never to come again and I told him he's a con artist charging hard working people out the ass because his store has a German sounding name. So in their mind they were gonna make their margin off me one way or another and he was pissed I saw right through his scam. Turns out my guy only charged me 445 where as I would have paid 950 for the same job and with terrible customer service attitude. If you have an Audi, BMW, or Benz and go in there and have to deal with Peter or any other scam artist do yourself a favor and turn around and go to literally anyone else, you'll pay half and won't have to deal with Peters' I charge triple attitude. read more

Can you say over-rated? He is a true German w/ true German prices. Unfortunately, the water pump that he replaced went out again after 40k on my Audi A4. Not his fault but the price varied significantly from Autohaus Munich to B&B Auto Repair. He replaced the water pump, timing belt, and thermostat for $1500. B&B charged me $600 for timing belt and water pump this time around. Last time I checked a thermostat did not cost $900 more. I'm not please but I'm more disappointed with myself for not using TP or B&B to perform the repair work like every prior car I've owned. Bad referral. All good, my pen will set them straight if not I will be forced to shank (jokes) them with it. read more

I had work done on my Audi S4 here...these guys are great. Leszek and Peter do fantastic work at reasonable prices and are truly professional. read more

If you want to deal with bunch of charlatanism and unprofessional ism . You are more then welcome to go to this place. Starting from this guy Les that is introducing him self as a knowledgeable and all know, no worries kinda guy to his helper Peter who has such an attitude that will leave you speechless as a customer. Not just that they dont know what they are talking about, they will take your car, waste your time and tell you that they dont wanna work on it. I brought them my 2003 RS6. Very rare and desirable car, for a DRC charge and inspection thinking that they are the place to go.....wow I made such a mistake. From all the options he was giving me, doing the coil overs, sprigs or just charging the system, he give me such a runaround and wasted my time for all the money. He will just call you out of the blue and tell you right off the bat to come in and take the car since he dont know how to work on it. No sorry, we did our best, or what ever. So rude, and unprofessional. Dont let the price lure you in. There is a reason for that. Looking at the website will not give you a realistic description. Go there and you will see a rundown one bay garage with like one you see in middle east countries. Things all over the place, loud grinding noise from all the blacksmith banging, no real mechanical and IT knowledge about sufisticated German cars.....So disappointed. You will be better off going to Escondido German Auto or any other place. If you need some insides on this incident you can contact me any time. Im on my way to pickup my car.....if there is just a scratch on it?!!!!! thank you read more

I have been taking my BMW here for a few years now, and I think the service is excellent. Les really cares about each car and each customer, and he's always helpful and asks lots of questions so he can best diagnose the problem. read more

Les, the owner is so knowledgeable - you can tell immediately when you call to get a quote. You can tell he's owned the place for the 20 years as he could talk to you all day about cars, and its obviously his passion. He even drove me to work and picked me up while my car was being serviced. Charged me half of what BMW of SD would've charged. If you're tired of getting hosed by the dealer - Autohaus Munich is the way to go! read more

Came here to have transmission service on my 2006 bmw e46. Excellent experience. Fair price. No hassles, no problems. 5 star.

These guys are awesome mechanics. Although they will repair any car they are especially experts on German cars. Tomas the Czech guy is a miracle man! My Beemer would now be in a junk yard without his magic hands. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this shop! I am a new business owner operating out of Sprinters and due to some last minute issues I was referred here and they had me up and running in no time! They are the kindest individuals, very honest, and professional people that did not make me feel stupid asking questions and took time to explain the issues and needed repairs. I am so glad I found them! My business and my personal vehicles are customers for life, thank you guys! read more

One of the best mechanic shops in San Diego! Very knowledgeable when it comes to high end cars. The owner is originally from Europe and he has many years of experience in this business. read more

Always honorable, reliable and very fair! Come here many times throughout the years with all of our vw's!

I love Autohaus Munich! First of all for their detailed services and secondly for their kind customer focus. Les and Peter are who I generally work through. When I moved here to SD from Indiana I searched Angie's list and Yelp for the best recommendations for service on my 2004 MB SLK230, my 92 E300 and My 2001 VW EuroVan. These guys are always fair, honest and trustworthy. Extremely knowledgable! As I prepare to buy a 2005 MB ML500 I will be letting them check it out before I close the deal. I am fortunate to have found good service in my new city. read more

I do not plan to bring my BMW anywhere else for repairs. You know you have found a competent and honest mechanic when you are told that you do not need something or are given less expensive alternatives. Les has always been honest and also tries to get the work done as soon as possible. He even stayed late to finish up something that was almost done at the end of the day, so the car was ready sooner. I have not been disappointed. read more
