I brought my 2018 Audi A4 here back in the summer. My car was producing a burning smell and AC wasn't working. Jeremiah took care of me the whole way with full transparency on the recommended actions, prices, pictures, and timely communication throughout the whole process. I compared the quoted prices across different forums and the people all said that those were fair for the work required, which is surprising since I expected prices to be higher for this area. It's been at least 4 months since my car was worked on. Battery replaced and recoded, transfer case resealed and fluid replaced, freon replaced, front control arm bushings replaced. Since then I've had no more problems with my car. I'm very happy with the service and am lucky that there is such a good German auto specialist with fair prices and modern transparency nearby. Would recommend! read more

Good customer service and attentiveness. Definitely an expert technician. Thought prices were fair. Will go back.

I took our Porsche Macan S to German Auto Specialists in Fairfax, VA. Jeremiah worked on the car. I found him not only to be an expert mechanic but extremely honest as well. He installed new front brake pads and cabin air filters and also did the 4-wheel alignment. I asked Jeremiah to verify whether the front and rear control arm bushings were in fact worn out (as claimed by another off-dealer German car mechanic in our area). Jeremiah checked them out and sent me pictures of the bushings--there were slight wear since 2015 but replacement was unnecessary. That saved us at least $1,000 in needless "repairs". I highly recommend Jeremiah at German Auto Specialists for regular maintenance of Porsche and other German cars. read more

Jeremiah is the man. They helped me with the timing belt and PDK oil flush at an amazing price. The service was done in a quick time and they took care of my pride and joy with the love and care as if it was theirs. They could have upsold me on services but they told me honestly that I did not need to do this and that and the condition of my vehicle. Will be back here again for anything and every maintenance check. If you are looking for great and honest mechanics to take care of any car, but specifically German cars, this is it. read more

Went here for my rear brake pads and rotors to be replaced and had a great experience. My car was serviced quickly and Jeremiah was very informative and kind. Would recommend! read more

Friendly, reliable and honest are a few words that come to mind for German Auto Specialist in Fairfax. Jeremiah and his team are always a pleasure to work with. From oil changes to larger repairs, they do a great job across the board. They also saved me a bunch of money on my VW which is about to go out of warranty, by locating a very small coolant leak during my recent oil change. They were nice enough to send me a picture so I could head to the dealer for a warranty service. And it was a good thing they did, as the dealer told me everything looked fine until I showed them the photo. I truly appreciate them going above and beyond. read more

If you're looking for an honest mechanic with the knowledge, care, and experience look no further. I came here after reading amazing reviews and let me tell you, they are all stellar for a reason. Jose took the time to look over the car with me and gave me an honest and I must say very reasonable quote for a radiator support replacement with radiator/intercooler replacement for my busted up Audi. He got the job done in a day as promised and everything was working flawlessly. He is a certified Audi technician and Master Technician for Nissan so you know you're getting the real deal experience with Jose. I know I'll definitely will be coming back. read more

Great service and great people! I took my Mercedes C63 in to service my spark plugs and resolve my check engine light due to faulty ignition coils. Jeremiah's attention to detail and customer service is unparalleled. He's super professional, knowledgeable and doesn't try to upsell you on services. The value and pricing is incredible considering his level of expertise and attention he gives to each customer. Couldn't be happier with my experience! read more

Jose and team are excellent! Best pricing and quality for Benz body work and maintenance in the area.

Top notch service and care. Great customer service and timely repair. Their best secret power is that they have the ability to answer all of your questions prior to even asking. I had to have my rotors and brakes replaced. Jeremiah took time to explain the process and go over the brand of material being used to help me make a informed decision. When I brought my car in and the service was completed, he miraculously answered all questions I intended to ask but never got a chance to. Cherry on top, my brakes did not squeak! Which was an annoying issue I last had them replaced by the Audi dealership. German Auto Specialist is now a part of my tribe! read more

Jose is not only knowledgable, but also patient and honest. And I believe the price you pay for service here is well worth it considering all of his knowledge. Having worked as Audi tech, he was able to answer any and all of my questions, address my concerns, and truly made me feel confident when it comes making decisions about servicing my vehicle. He also spent a considerable amount of time working with me and never made me feel like a burden for asking lots of questions and for his advice. As a car enthusiast, this is pretty much exactly what you would ask for. With all of this in mind, I would happily trust Jose working on my car for any future service or repairs. read more

I can't believe I've only just discovered this gem close to me in Fairfax. Took my BMW here for an AC compressor replacement and couldn't be happier with the service I got. I was provided a very fair quote and repairs were done under time promised. Jeremiah was great throughout the entire process and is just an awesome person to interact with. They definitely got a repeat customer here. read more

Jose and team fixed my electrical issue in my 2013 BMW 5 Series. It was a challenging problem but they were committed to finding the issue and had a path for resolution. Not only is Jose technically competent as a master mechanic, his communication was on point with me during the whole process. There were no surprises when it came time for the bill. His prices were fair and reasonable comparing to any big stealership; (I mean dealership). read more

Jose is, by far, the best in what he does. This has been my entire family's trusted shop for many years (in different locations), and we will continue bringing our cars in for our needs. Jose is very honest, and you will never leave his shop feeling like you were ripped off. He is knowledgeable and works through challenges when having an issue that is not easy to diagnose. He was able to fix an issue that my car's own dealer was not able to resolve for a while, which involved safety when opening the trunk. When having other issues, he is also conservative in his approach and would never ask you to get parts that you do not need. He will always have your best interest in mind, and will solve your car issues step by step, instead of asking you to spend a lot of money trying to overhaul entire systems. We will continue trusting Jose, and highly recommend him to anyone that needs his services. read more

Jose is the kind of expert auto mechanic you look for when you get a European import or move to a new town or both. Found him in Arlington and now he's moved to his own new big shop in Fairfax. Jose fixed a serious oil leak in a used BMW and he obviously wasn't going to declare the job done until he was satisfied that it was. He's dedicated. We still live in Arlington but as long as we can get to Fairfax with that BMW, we'll keep taking it to Jose. And something to remember: he doesn't just do European cars. read more

This was a great experience. Wheel sensor needed replacing, so asked for prices. This came in very reasonably priced. Had the part, no problem. Part turned out to be wrong - thanks Amazon - no worries. They found one. Experience was superb from a mechanic who cared. Took time to talk to me about his time working for big dealerships- not employee friendly. The staff there is great, very kind and welcoming too. This is a garage you should frequent! read more

Can't recommend Jose enough. My 2017 Audi A4 was leaking transmission fluid. It was a slow leak but after a couple of bottles of transmission fluid, I knew it was time to get it fixed. Knowing that the Audi dealership would have me over a barrel (my warranty had expired), I did a google search for "best mechanics near me" and German Auto popped up. Turns out his shop is only a half mile from my house! Even better, he was a master mechanic at the Audi dealer I used to bring my vehicle for repair before he opened his own shop. While German cars are never cheap to fix, Jose charged a reasonable price to replace the faulty water pump that was the culprit. But it was his honesty and work ethic that won me over. He even let me pick up the car after hours and took the extra time to make sure that it was done right. I highly recommend German Auto if you are in the Fairfax area. read more

Great service, dropped off my expedition to have a wheel bearing and a tie rod replaced. Jose was able to fix it the same day. I have already recommended them to family and friends and will definitely be back when I need car repairs. read more

German Auto Specialists is knowable, professional, priced fairly for services, and are very courteous. A rare commodity in today's world. They are now the only place I take my car for service! Try them out for yourself. You will be very pleased! read more

Managed to give me the worst alignment I don't think they even did anything. Steering wheel used to be straight, ever since got work done my wheel leans to the right. Will say price is the only thing I liked read more

Took my 2012 BMW to GAS after seeing great reviews here. Jose was extremely welcoming, listened closely to the problems I described, and explained their likely cause, location and estimated cost to repair (way less than dealer). He completed the work in the time promised and explained what he did, keeping to his estimate. He encouraged me to get in touch immediately if I noticed any further problems, promising to address them right away. Glad I came to GAS. read more

I got my right view mirror fixed here in 9 MINS! They are reliable, fast, smart. And can deal with any car

If I could give a 6 star rating, I would. Jose is amazing, and he earned my trust very quickly. I needed a new clutch for my Audi, and he talked me through all of the options. He charged me a third of what the dealership quoted and about half of what another trusted mechanic quoted. He said he could do that because the parts came in a box that didn't say Audi on it. (Thank you Jose!) Also, I then added on an annual maintenance request, and an issue arose during the process. They ended up needing to keep my car longer, but Jose covered the cost for those extra parts. He has a client for life. read more

I brought my suv in with some spark plug issues and a fuel leak. They told me it would be nearly $3000 to fix the car and $1600 just to run diagnostics. I refused the service since the car ran fine before I brought it in. When I came in to pick it up my car it didn't run at all. The accelerator didn't respond and the car was shaking like a leaf. Furthermore, when I went to step into my car to start it up the staff were all breaking their necks looking at me and smiling. At this point the only option was to pay the $3000 he was claiming to costed to fix or scrap the car. I had to pay for the inspection on top of the towing fee it cost to lug the car off of the lot. Jose was very unsympathetic and disrespectful and it seems very unlikely that the car would have stopped working on its own. I have brought this car into many repair shops and have never experienced anything like this. I can only hope that this review will dissuade others from bringing their car into to be taken advantage of. read more

Started oil change on time. Nice waiting area. Topped off some fluids Some pressure on me to replace brake fluid (I think is unnecessary) Charged what they said they would read more

Jose is an exceptional car mechanic and car enthusiast. He works with passion and diligence and always has my Audi ready for me in a timely manner. Going to the Audi dealerships and getting priced outrageous quotes for car repairs along with the feeling that they just did not care to explain what was wrong with my vehicle was extremely frustrating and I am so grateful to have found Jose's shop because he truly cares about each individual car and the person behind the wheel. He takes his time with his explanations of what exact parts and what exact repairs are needed to go along with his fair pricing! I would recommended Jose's services to anyone in the DMV area! read more

Fine professional service by Jose and his crew. They all do an excellent job. Highly highly recommend them.

My experience with Jose was excellent. He was knowledgeable, friendly, efficient, with proper sense of urgency, and his communication skills were great. But what I think sets him apart from pretty much everyone else in the industry is his honesty and focus on the customer's budget. While most other mechanics will try to squeeze you and prioritize their short term gains and profits (at your expense), Jose instead made arrangements to minimize my spending and build a long term, win-win relationship. I will definitely come back and would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Jose has to be one of the most confident, professional, and skilled mechanics I have ever met! My usual repair shop diagnosed my C300 4Matic MB with a broken and rusty rear subframe. They quoted me at least $3500 for a used sub-frame assembly and for labor. They said any part they could find would also be rusty and that I would probably have this same problem within 2 years. That didn't sit well with me. I heard that the Mercedes Benz dealer would have charged more than $6,000 to put a new part in, but that didn't sit too well with me either, so I started calling around. Jose found that same part for less and took care to note the condition of the part before it arrived. He told me when the part came in his guys would clean any rust they found inside AND they would also treat the part to prevent rust from occurring in the future ... This is something Mercedes Benz should have done in the first place, but that's another story! After the repairs were done, Jose discovered that another mechanic had put my rear tires on incorrectly! He had his guys take them off and re-install them properly and he didn't even charge me for that! It is so hard for Ladies to find a mechanic we can trust. This is my 5th Mercedes Benz and from now on, I'm bringing my cars to Jose! read more
