Highly recommend oil change here for your European cars. I had an awesome experience with Anthony! He took time to examine by break pad and explained to me when I needed to change the pads. This place is more affordable than the dealership in town. I highly recommend this shop for your car repairs or maintenance! New review from June 18th, 2024 I strongly suggest this place for repairing European cars. I've visited several times, and they are consistently knowledgeable and professional. My car was fixed promptly, and their rates are very reasonable. Anthony has been exceptionally friendly and courteous. I needed my car urgently, and he not only repaired my leaking coolant but exceeded my expectations! If you're in Omaha or the west Omaha area, this is the best spot for oil changes and European car repairs. You won't be disappointed! read more

Cordel Foreign Motors - Broken turbo charger feeding line! - Car Dealers Near Me - Elkhorn, Nebraska

Highly recommend. Had an emergency brake line break, they got me in the shop the same night and fixed it fast.

The only person we trust with our BMW autos in Anthony at Cordel Motors. Excellent service at a fair price

We have been long time customers of Cordel Foreign Motors. We have tried a few other BMW repair centers in the past and always came back to Cordel because they don't try to upsell you and their prices are reasonable and definitely better priced than dealerships. We have been going to Cordell throughout their 3 location transitions. Even with it being a farther drive in Elkhorn, we keep returning for our BMW repairs n maintenance. We have full confidence in this family run business! read more

Wow. Simply amazing. I was originally in touch with joel about a car I wanted to purchase. I wanted to bring it in and verify if I was to be getting a good deal. I called again a week later and spoke with someone else and they said I could bring in said vehicle no problem. I arrived today and I was surprised! Like a mom and pop shop, but mom stepped out for a bit. Very down to Earth and understanding. these guys deal only with foreign cars. VW, Audi, Mercedes Benz, BMW, etc... I saw an awesome Merkur XR4Ti. Message me if you son't know how cool that is. A really great shop that is second to none and if not for them, I don't know if I would have my new used car. Reasonable estimates and a great demeanor. I would love to say I can't wait to come back, but I know I will be and I have to save money for that. Overall, a great value and no BS. I shall be loyal read more

Cordel Foreign Motors - Located next to uhaul - Car Dealers Near Me - Elkhorn, Nebraska

Very pleased with this shop and their service. They fixed a problem with my Audi quite quickly. Brake problem was not as bad as I thought. Their analysis saved me $800. I will certainly be a return customer. -- Zane Porter read more

I have a BMW, a Mercedes, and an Audi. I wouldn't even bother taking your Mercedes in to MB of Omaha. I had a service issue that should be covered under warranty (NOx emissions sensors showing out). Cordel's returned the vehicle to me and suggested I take it to them to repair, no charge. After dropping it off on Wednesday at MB Omaha, I finally heard back from them that it wasn't covered and would be a $2000 repair. Not only that, they returned the vehicle in "countdown" meaning I can only start and stop it 8 times before it doesn't start anymore (serious doesn't flaw on the diesels). Neither the service advisor nor the service manager knew anything about the implications of not performing the repair, and to be honest, I didn't get the sense they cared at all. I didn't buy the car from them so they didn't want to touch it, but they were more than happy to charge me $160 to tell me what Cordel's have already told me for free. What a scam. In addition, I have never met with such incompetent service people. "I'm not a mechanic" got old after the first few times. Maybe you don't need to me a mechanic, but if you're a service advisor, at the very least be able to get me an answer. As a car owner (also not a mechanic), I should be able to repeatedly stump you with not-so-difficult questions about having issues with my car. Long and short, I'm taking my business back to Cordel's where I get treated like a human being. Anthony has been great to work with and comes across as down to earth and trustworthy. They have performed the repairs in a timely manner and are more reasonably priced. I won't return to MB of Omaha unless it is an absolute necessity. I may have bought my first and last Mercedes based on my experience there. read more

These guys came in clutch! I have a 03 325i e46 that was at another shop at the time and had been told I had bent valves and was told about 3500 to fix it. I brought the car here for a second opinion as they where very confident over the phone that the first shop it was at was completely wrong. These guys looked at my car for literally 5 minutes and had it running just fine and it ended up being a simple faulty mass air flow sensor. So these guys saved me 3500 in repairs that didn't exist! Definitely plan on coming back to these guys if I'm ever stuck clueless on a repair. Not to mention the guys gave me a free mass airflow sensor they had laying around which goes for 180+ read more

Had to take my vehicle elsewhere to actually get repaired. Extremely Rude and Truly Dishonest by doing unauthorized work and charging thousands. Tried to steal my vehicle when I refused to pay for the unauthorized work and had to call the police to retrieve it. Needless to say I had to pay them in order to get my car back and then turned around and had to pay a reputable company to actually fix it. It's running great now thanks to someone else. read more

I have a Mercedes and 2 Porsche's ..one of the Porsche's I own is a historical car. I would never take any of my cars anywhere else. Great service and great work. I would and have recommended them to my friends read more

I've taken my 2003 530i here a few times. Most the time I do the work myself but some jobs get a home gamer way over their heads. Joel is a great guy to deal with and he knows a lot about the cars he works on. Most recently I had to replace my entire cooling system. I had already bought the parts and was all tooled up and ready to do the job. Turns out my fan clutch would not come off at home.. I tried my hardest but in the end have up. I had to towed to them with all parts in the trunk. They had no problems installing the parts that were not bought from them. And charged me for only labor. I know they missed out on the profit margin for some of the parts. But they were awesome about it. Currently planning on having them refresh my suspension in the front. Would not hesitate to recommend them to family and friends. Awesome service for foreign cars. read more

Great service- Andrea is the best! They are very trustworthy and I wouldn't take my car anywhere else.

Great customer service!!! Very friendly! I was in and out. I highly recommend them for all your car needs. Also reasonably priced! -Madalyn

'Car mechanics' is not my area of expertise, so just hope for the best when choosing a mechanic. We took our car to Cordel and were so pleased with the entire operation! From the intake conversation to the post-appointment follow-up, Cordel does things right. They are extremely knowledgeable about various makes/models and just nice people. We feel fortunate to have found them! read more

(not sure where my previous review went... oops) I very, very highly recommend Cordel Foreign Motors. Earlier this year, I moved from Chicago to Los Angeles to start work at a new job. I packed my Audi A4 to the brim with everything that was either too fragile or valuable to trust with a cross-country shipping company, and with my big old dog in the back seat, I intended to drive the distance over a few days. Unfortunately, about ~100mi outside of Omaha, my engine started to have some problems. It turned out that the oil was plugged up somewhere and wasn't properly lubricating the engine, so I began to look for mechanics. The car was completely undriveable. Maybe it was just me, but it was really difficult to find a mechanic who would work on a German car. I didn't think an A4 was anything too complex, but what do I know. The local Audi dealership wasn't at all helpful, so I searched some Audi forums, and found a single recommendation for a garage in Omaha, and it was for Cordel. It was there that I discovered the point in going to a mechanic who specializes in a certain type of vehicle. They have a showroom and a lot full of gorgeous European cars, classic and newer, and their mechanic bays had everything from the iconic old diesel Mercedes to new SLK's and Land Rovers. Egon (the owner), Karl, and Josh all clearly knew a ton about these cars, and a ton about mine. Stranded in a city I'd never been to before, the guys diagnosed my problem quickly and even gave my dog and I a lift to and from our hotel. They could not possibly have been more accommodating, and were really cool, amicable guys on top of it. I'm no mechanic, but I like cars, so they made sure to give me a long list of exactly how to maintain the car, what to watch out for on my particular model, etc. Also, they went over my car with a fine-toothed comb, touching up things here and there to make sure I could make the rest of the journey without issue. They even went so far as to undo a cheap-o fix I did myself with an aftermarket Chinese part, and replace it with the OEM Bosch part they had on the shelf. Very considerate. I also had them diagnose a sound coming from my transmission, which I suspected was the result of a botched clutch replacement I'd had done at a garage in Chicago. The flywheel was toast, so they replaced my dual flywheel transmission setup with a single flywheel, which is known to be sturdier. As of today; one year, 10,000mi, and another cross-country drive later, and my engine and transmission remain problem-free. I couldn't be happier with the quality of their work, their demeanor, and the degree to which they helped a guy stranded hundreds of miles from anyone he knew. I've recommended them many times on auto forums. Great mechanics, awesome cars for sale, and all-around good guys. read more

Best service experience I've had since I bought my Jetta new in 2009. Joel was so knowledgeable and honest about the issues with the car, and had all of the necessary services completed within one day! I was very happy with the whole experience and will not take my car anywhere else in the future. read more

I used to go to the dealership for my Audi. After a few problems, I found Cordel Foreign motors. Joel and his team do a great job on my car. He is sensitive to completely solving the problem while keeping costs down. I've been really happy with the service and quality of work. read more

My son took his Audi in to have repair work done. The vehicle was not repaired properly so it was taken back. From the moment I dealt with the lady that works there I was told nothing but lies. They tried to tell me that two different vehicles was brought in and when I told them no it was the same vehicle they wanted to argue. They made a mistake by putting in two different VIN #'s. When I went to Cordel my son's car was parked in the street. When questioned about it they told me the tow truck driver left it there so I called the tow truck driver and he said no he was told to park it there. I expected the car to run after $4500 in repair but the car quit in the middle of the interstate with my 2 month granddaughter in the backseat. I would not waste my time taking your vehicle to Cordel. They don't know what they are doing and they give you quotes for 4 different year and vehicle type. This place is a joke. read more

Very good service - quick, too. Joel was very friendly and laid back, but still knew what he was talking about.

This was a bad experience overall. I never even got a return estimate after stopping there in person!!

I recently had my Volvo worked on there. My first experience with Cordel and it was great. They went above and beyond in fixing a problem that required pulling the engine out and fixing some really bad engineering on the motor (2007 Volvos have a "hacked" Ford motor in them). They were super friendly, and very honest. At one point they could have returned the car to me "fixed" (and I wouldn't have known the difference) but they said that it just didn't seem fixed to their standards and so they pulled the engine out again (on their dime!!) and got it fixed right. The engine sounds better and more solid than it did the day I got it! I am super impressed and greatly recommend them! read more

I will never return and would caution anyone considering taking their vehicle here. After 5 days I was told my vehicle was fixed and it wasn't. The problem still persisted and was worse even though I was told it was fixed. They had the car for another 2 days. The communication from the shop about the possible problems with the vehicle and status of its repairs was unprofessional. I had to call repeatedly to get status updates. The tone that the owner and his son took with me makes me wonder if they have heard of the term customer service. read more

Had them check out a antifreeze leak on my Jaguar, which they diagnosed as a water pump problem...$500 bill. Unfortunately, this did not solve the issue. I had another foreign auto shop check out the problem, and they quickly diagnosed the problem...which resulted in another $500 bill...which was done in less than a day...compared to a week with Cordell Motors. Their showroom and office area was pretty messy...which does not give a good impression of their service. Would not recommend them for any Jaguar services. read more
