what a huge place, and right off of Bearss Ave and Nebraska. The staff is very polite and they service all makes of european car. The prices are fair for the high level of care that they provide. These guys are real experts with decade of foreign car repair experience. Before you pay too too much at a dealership try them out and save a thousand or two. The owner is one of the mechanics and takes time to explain everything that is being done to the car. Great Job. read more

This is a solid alternative to Mercedes Benz Wesley Chapel. Needed a basic oil change a tire rotation. They have the car a good look over and told me some things I would need in the future. Good experience. read more

Never again!! I've taken my Audi to European Autohaus several times for minor issues. While I've always complained about their lack of communication with the customer and sending me estimates via phone text link which makes it impossible to read coherently. This time I started to have engine hesitation and misfiring. Took it in August 26, 2025. They QUOTED ME $2,488 for the diagnosis and repair. Although they got failure codes from the computer on misfiring and fuel pressure low (P0087 code) they did not follow leads that would cause those codes, they merely swapped some spark plugs around (which were brand new that they put in previously) and could not reproduce the misfire. AFTER nearly 4 WEEKS of having the car, they replaced my AC compressor as they said it was bad as well. they gave it back to me as "FIXED". Got it back Sept 19th. 4 WEEKS. I headed up the road didn't get 20 miles before the misfiring started again, just like before. Hobbled the car back to Autohaus where they couldn't get to it for 4 days. Finally, ANOTHER ESTIMATE FOR $1788 for the high-pressure fuel pump. Then 3 days later they called me (October 2nd) said it was fixed and ready to go. So been working on the car from Aug 26th to Oct 2nd !! Second time now, Pulled out of the shop headed up the road, within minutes the car started misfiring and hesitating again!! They had the car for 37 days total and THOUSANDS of dollars later, car is still doing exactly the same thing I brought it in for to begin with. I emailed them about it. Got no response because truly I can see they just don't give $hit about the customer and reputation. Definitely care when that credit card goes into their machine though!! Never again!!! Working with JUST GERMAN AUTOMOTIVE now! read more

Please stay away from this place they play games to get more money out of you once they have your car. They are not honest and don't do quality work! Please go elsewhere! read more

Had a very good experience, the staff were polite and informative. They communicated well with updates and text messages and emails which was nice. They were a lot less than the dealership and way more professional. read more

Purchased a vehilce on Feb. 22, 2025.. today is May 7, 2025 I still don't have my permanent tag however did pay for it!! Time has run out to do yet another Temp. Tag.

Just hung up the phone with Tirso he will not send my paperwork until I give him ANOTHER $175.00 for registration even though I PAID THIS at the time of purchase, which is the law!!!!! This place is a scam and ripoff. PLEASE people hear me. DO NOT DO BUSINESS with them. read more

David, Kuan and the whole team took care of buisness making sure my 2017 Alfa Romeo Got its Oil Change, new filters and a o-ring replacement for an oil leak. I have taken my Audi here in the past for maintenance and they did a great job with making sure it was taken care of. I'll always call European Autohaus for my maintenance and car needs to get work done. Everyone works as a team in effort to get the job done. read more

European Autohaus - Sitting in the lobby waiting for my car to finish getting washed up! - Auto Repair Near Me - Lutz, Florida

Just purchased a used vehicle and took it to European Autohaus because going to the dealership out of warranty is asking for bankruptcy. I was greeted by Kwon who is a fantastic gentleman, and he guided me through the process of getting a post purchase inspection. After receiving my diagnosis, I decided to do one repair, and they fixed my car right up. And Mike informed me of things to be aware of. Great customer service! My only gripe and it's such a pet peeve of mine when going to Independent Shops, is the lack of grounds-keeping. Immediately after leaving the shop I hear the dreaded sound of a nail in my tire, and immediately became so frustrated that I was ready to forget the incredible service up until then. The lack of professionalism to leave loose nails around is a killer, and you definitely wouldn't run into that problem when at a BMW dealership. When oversight like this happens, it makes you wonder if other careless mistakes are made when working on the vehicle. I'm not saying that is the case, but you can't help but wonder. read more

I'm a little disappointed in how they handled my issue with a faulty component they installed in my car. I did not think it was much to ask for them to refund me for the cost I paid for the parts. In fact, they had me under the impression that they were proving me a refund only to give me a credit. Now in there defense, they did mention that I could have taken my car in for repair at another shop in Georgia, but how was I supposed to know that when it was never mentioned or on any paperwork. I'll go back, but my trust level is very low right now. read more

You're lucky to receive a call back from David when promised, and they seem to be so busy that they do not need your business. When all things are considered, such as no loaner cars or shuttle service, and questionable warranty or guarantee of services, they are not less expensive than the dealer, but much less desirable to do business with. They also appear to no longer respond to negative reviews, which is quite telling. read more

Honestly, I was waiting for the news crew to show up. I thought I was on the tv show bloopers. I towed my car to European Autohaus on Monday April 3, 2023 & by Wednesday they text me a diagnosis with all kinds of other things that needed to be done. I said if I do just the power steering job what will that cost. I told them my budget was $1200 or I'll buy a new car. They quoted me $1400 so I said go ahead as long as that's my issue for it to work & be drivable. They said yes. A day 1/2 later they called & said sorry another issue & it will be $1700 more. I said wait I still will be charged for the $1400 regardless & they said yes. So at that point they had me in an awful spot. Everyday they said it will be ready the next day. Call to pick up said tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow 14 times. I begged to let me get it towed to Mercedes. They wouldn't let me. I came today April 18th & they charged me over $2900.00!!! I get in my car to leave it smells like it's about to blow up from gasoline & is bouncing. Something I've never had before. I went back in & said I refuse to pay this bill. I need a refund they said nope. Thank goodness my credit card will help me fight it. I always go to the Mercedes dealership & now I see why. The owner doesn't care about nothing. Pure nightmare!!! Please don't bring your car here. Negative stars not even 1 star. I usually let Karma do it's job but to spend $2900 for NOTHING done!!! read more

they proudly claim their prices are lower then dealership But for my estimate to replace 2 engine mounts their cost was double than the dealer-Questionable overcharge labor equal time for each -but after first mount change the car is already up and engine supported up so 80% of the work is already done-but they charge it again--abusive rip off read more

Hi everyone! Second here with European Autohaus. This time with my Boxster. Front brakes and rotors replaced. EXCELLENT JOB! Kind. Courteous. Prompt. No added fees/costs. Great experience! (...and I think they detailed my car for me too ). Thanks and team!! read more

Be wary of scams.. I took my car here to evaluate an error code after a starter replacement. I told them that I think the new intake manifold clips may be obstructing the accelerator bar and asked for their professional evaluation and opinion. I told them I had already tested the 2 TPS (throttle position sensor) and they were fine. I was told there would be a diagnostic fee of around $120 and we would take it from there. A few hours later they called me and stated they would send me the estimate but there was a lot to do to figure out the problem. I was right around the corner so I went to the shop so they could explain the estimate to me in person. I was told that they would have to take a bunch of components apart and replace the two TPS sensors, and then see if that fixed the problem. They said that step alone was around $1,200. I asked if the clips were obstructing the accelerator bar, they said yes it was and that was a quick and easy adjustment that they did. They proceeded to tell me that it didn't fix the problem and the error codes were still going off and preventing the car from being drivable. They said that I needed to pay the $1,200 and they already ordered the sensors. I thanked them for their time, and stated I was not ready to have the sensors replaced and would be taking the car. After trying to convince me I had to spend the additional $1,200, they charged me the $120 for the diagnostic test and clip adjustment, and I was able to take my car... Low and behold, the car worked perfectly when I picked it up. All it needed was adjusting one of the clips (1 minutes of work). The $1,200 they were trying to get appears to be a total scam. There were no further error codes after they adjusted the clip, as they had claimed. read more

I took my car here after having an awful experience at the dealer. Price and turnaround time was awesome. A great job at a fair price you have earned my future business for sure. read more

I am very meticulous on who works on my 2016 Benz. I fully trust Quan on the job! They just got me taken care of in 24 hours. Car drives like it's brand new' thank you so much! Also, much cheaper costing than the Benz dealership. I will only get my germans worked on here. Thanks guys! read more

Baught in my 1999 BMW 528i check IG: streetkinge39. My car had no acceleration, and no more than 48mph. They were able to actually bring some torque n power back a lil after some repares! I can't afford the next step yet but def bringing it back! They are amazing and know exactly what they are doing. Im happy my car that means the world to me was touched by European Autohaus. read more

Thank u, next. *Believe* the bad reviews here and don't waste your time; the workers here have a poor attitude, David (a total P O S) in particular. If you're a busy professional, again, don't waste your time. You get what you pay for at this second rate place. The big lots of auto repair. They lie and go back on their word, change quotes (written quotes mind you!!!), and treat their customers like there is an endless supply of people in line to treat poorly after they are done with you. Extremely shady, bad attitude, hope they go out of business. Just take a drive by first and see for yourself the 2 generation old, outdated European cars out front...LOL. Would you trust them with your newer, late model ride? I don't think so! read more

I've used this place twice in the past couple of years and both times I've felt they did quality work and weren't out to con customers into more expensive repairs. Initially I took my Audi Q5 when I had it to them to check a vibration that Reeves Audi Service wasn't able to replicate despite it occurring in their driveway multiple times. I had a technician ride with me and he was able to diagnose it 2 minutes into our ride. Fast forward to the newest addition to my garage, a BMW 328 coupe. I purchased it at Carmax and wanted these guys to give it a glance to see if there was anything wrong with it before I finalized my purchase. They were able to inspect it and sign off on the quality of the car. After I purchased it, the tire shop managed to strip out a lug bolt and the part of the hub it screws into. Reeves BMW said it wasn't repairable and would be about $1k to replace the hub. These guys kept the car overnight and were able to repair the hub and replace the lug bolt for less than $200. Overall, these guys will be my new go to place for any of my maintenance and repair needs. They work fast and their knowledgeable technicians make me feel comfortable leaving my cars in their hands. read more

Great place, professional service and knowledgeable. Went in for an oil change for my 2008 BMW 528 and it only took an hour and 15. Extra bonus they wash your car as part of the service. Also can get your car auto detailed if car is dropped off. Ask for John. He will take great care of you. Thanks' read more

I'm on the fence. I want to like this business because it seems like it has a good reputation, and I prefer a local business to a dealer- but my experience was so so. I had my RTF wheels on my BMW X1 rotated and balanced here. Price seemed reasonable and it didn't take forever. Drove away happy... A month later a friend noticed a bolt missing on one of my front wheels. I took it in the next day and they replaced it without question. They didn't say anything about why or how. I asked if i should be worried they said no and that was it. My thoughts are that they didn't apologize or explain how this could happen. Also, if they are missing bolts on something simple as a tire rotation, what are they missing inside the engine!? I know mistakes are made but some sort of conversation from the staff would have been helpful, plus I can't help but be wary of their quality control. Not sure I will be back. read more

I've been taking my Audi S4 to European Autohaus since May of 2009. They've helped me take the car from 120,000 miles to now just past 190,000 miles. The service manager, Zonald, is extremely knowledgeable. He has helped me keep the car operating perfectly and keep the cost of ownership down. He also is very straight forward about what maintenance needs to be done and explains why he recommends it. The prices are very reasonable as well. I've taken my car to the Audi dealership before and received quotes, but European Autohaus has always come out to be the best deal. It just makes no sense to pay the higher labor rate at a dealership when the guys at European have the same technical certifications and use the same OEM parts and equipment. John is my usual technician and I don't think there is any issue with my car that he couldn't handle. I strongly recommend European Autohaus for everything from basic maintenance to total overhaul. They have exceeded my expectations in every category. read more

The service here was great. I'd highly recommend them if you have a luxury vehicle. Not cheap-- but you get what you pay for. The staff was friendly and they stayed in constant communication regarding my repairs. Repairs were completed quickly even though my parts were not in stock. The kicker.... They hand washed my car before returning it to me. A very nice touch! A+++ read more

Took my 15-year-old Mini in to repair old gaskets (leaking oil) and replace suspension parts. Their initial estimate was lower than the dealer, which is why I took the car there. After $3k of repairs, I continued to have continuous oil leaks, took it back a few weeks later to diagnose the problem. They said they could not find any leaks, and said I had a burned out tail light which they offered to replace for $25. I declined and checked the light myself. All my lights were functioning and continue to function. Their level of interest in my problem is non-existent, and they lied about the tail light to turn a profit on my complaint visit. While I hate to pay more for repairs to an old car, European Autohaus manages to make getting all my service at the dealer my best choice. read more

I was driving home in my dad's 3 series thinking about writing a great review then I pulled into the driveway and realized they changed his license plate frame to one advertising their company. Their customer service was great, they picked up the car and were quick to complete the simple repairs. The car sounded great and I think they addresses the issues it was having at a good price. I really can't get past the fact that they would choose to advertise their business on a customers car without consent. What a horrible way to build brand loyalty! I hope John reads this and will reconsider that policy. read more

I took my BMW there to get a minor coolant issue fixed but the people take advantage of you and absurdly charge you money for no reason. And customer care is not so great either... we came in and were not greeted and the secretary, "John" continued to talk to other people without acknowledging the other customers. Even the other customer acknowledged us. It was quite strange and the staff continued to talk about random things and ignored the customer. Finally, when we came back to pick up the car, nothing was ready on time. Its just some crappy little shop on Bearss, definitely DO NOT recommend to take your precious car there. read more

I had my A4 towed here back in 2009 when I had problems with it not starting. After a few days they claimed it was a sensor issue and gave me an estimate for repairs. When I came to pick up the car it started and stalled right away. I left it with them again to diagnose and this time it took a week and little communication before I was finally told it could be fixed but would cost me an extra $800. I balked at that since they had already charged me $1000 for the original repairs. I ended up negotiating down to around $400 on top of my original bill to take my car home. I've never been back. Improper diagnosis and estimate plus poor customer service. read more

Visiting from North Carolina and my X5 began acting up. Had it towed to Autohaus and the quickly diagnosed the problems and took care of the issue. Drove back to North Carolina and ran really great. Thanks for everything read more

Great little car shop. Quick turnaround and less expensive than the dealership. I'll definitely keep coming here to get my car serviced.

I took my 2011 VW CC in for a 40k mile service and a head light replacement. The VW dealer quoted me close to $800, but European Autohaus did the work for about 40% less in 2.5 hrs on a Saturday morning. This is a laid-back, drama-free, honest and affordable repair shop. I'll definitely be back. read more

This place is amazing. No matter what problem I may be experiencing with my 128i, they are always there for me with their expert, reasonably priced service. Dave has worked on my BMWs for years and is one of the most knowledgeable persons I know when it comes to BMW service. John is always so accommodating in meeting my crazy schedule. I don't trust anyone else to service my car. Just plain good, reliable, service and work. So lucky to have them here in Tampa! read more

Excellent service. John and his team went above and beyond my expectations. My Audi A8 had an oil leak. They had to remove my damaged bumper to get to the leak. They put my bumper back together like it was brand new. I can't believe they took the time and effort with out my knowledge or request. These guys are great and I highly recommend their service. The oil leak is fixed too! read more

So after going to the "stealer"...oops I mean dealer, I took a look on Yelp. I have driven by this place for the past 8 years and saw it had positive reviews. Having a maintenance background, I have not been overly impressed with some of the automotive repair establishments in Tampa, seems they are unreliable or try to over charge...I cannot say the same for this place. David and his crew were very honest and the prices were great, even for European car repairs. Without sharing any of the information that the dealer provided, I let the team at the European autohaus assess my 2006 XC90. They were spot on and provided honest feedback on what they felt was necessary and the state of my car. This is now my official Volvo repair facility that I will use from this point forward. Very pleased with the professionalism, quality of work, and overall experience. If you have a European car and want to avoid the up charges of the dealership while recovering the same quality of work, come to this place! read more

This past Saturday was my first experience with European Autohaus and may I say, I was delightfully surprised. Exemplary customer service exceeded my expectations....from the first phone call with Kwan, requesting I send photos of the part to be replaced.... his thorough screening of the photos (to make sure my 45 minute travel would not be a waste); with David, the service manager, most professional, personable and patient with all my questions..... to Charlie, the seasoned guru of nuisances that special autos can have....all this combined with the convenience of Saturday hours, dealership certified knowledge without the dealership prices will make me a return customer (and I'll bring donuts the next time) when my '98 XK8 convertible is in need. Thank you SO much!!! read more

I am new to town and have high expectations when having work done on my Audi. European Autohaus is a place to trust. I love cars and want the people that work on my car to love cars too. John and his team...Dave, you know who you are....did a fantastic job at fixing a complicated fuel indicator problem for me. They've also done a timing belt replacement for me and I know that they did it right. My first visit to them was an oil change, and then I had to have my car towed in because of a fuel pump failure. They got my car in the garage and out the door in two days with no notice. Whatever price I paid, I wouldn't have second-guessed it. The've also got a couple of talented, young future leaders of tomorrow that will gladly put a beautiful shine on your car before you drive off. If you love your car and want to find a place to trust, try them out. Michael read more

Nice people. Got me in same day and got my service and brakes done on my Jaguar XF. Saved a couple hundred versus the dealer.

Great service! They replaced a shock on my Jaguar XJ8L in a few hours! I am so happy! I have been dealing with the Jaguar service dept for almost 20 years and always have a problem. I have considered selling my car because of them. Please give this place a try. I wish I had tried them much sooner! read more

Claimed they could repair the transmission in my 2006 VW Rabbit... 6 months & $2,800.00 later I still have the same issue with the car. Not fixed, not offering to refund or do the repair they should have done in the first place. Do not take your car to European Autohaus in Lutz, FL. They are a ripoff! read more

Worst decision ever! I bought my car there 1 year ago and have had nothing but problems. Within months a cylinder went bad and then the brakes! Paint started chipping and bubbling up on my front bumper and I was informed that my car had been in a front end collision! I realize I should have probably checked into this on my own but that's what you get when you trust a salesman! Fast forward 1 year and my air conditioner wont work and it will cost $700.00 to fix. I cannot even get rid of this car due to being ripped off on the price and still owe way more than it is worth. Buyer beware I have learned an expensive and valuable lesson! read more

I took my car here for a 100K mile check up with the check engine light on. They diagnosed it with two leaks, one from the water pump and one from one of the hoses in the turbo system and indicated they would clear the check engine light which seemed to be from a part that was previously changed in a different shop but that it may come back, the total? $1,800. After 3 days and a lot of pressure from my side to get the car back, they finally called me to pick it up. When I showed up, they said they had good news and bad news. The good one was that there was no leak in the turbo and they only had to change a hose they broke while getting in the system, a $45 extra charge from the original estimate but $800 less in labor; the bad one was that they cleared the check engine light but it came back on during the test drive. Upset already, I found unacceptable that it took them 3 days to change a water pump and miss-diagnosed the turbo leak so I quickly jumped in the car and got out of there. When I started driving the car not only had the check engine light on but also the EPC light, the car was hesitating and coughing but I drove away as fast as I could to never look back. After paying $1,000 and 3 days I got my car back in worse condition than when I dropped it off, it took them 3 days to change a water pump and mess up the Electronic Power Control in the car. Isn't that great? I own 4 VW's and will never take them here; this is my VW shop now: https://www.facebook.com/275Autosport/. Young guy with lots of experience in VW's, honest and works really fast. read more
