Sanders and Raul have great customer service here. They're very trustworthy. We used to live right across from Kahlers it was our view from our bedroom. We would just look out our window to see when our car was ready. My husband has been bringing his Audi for years. This is the only place we trust read more

I can't say enough good things about Kahler's German Auto Repair. These guys are exceptional. I originally brought in one of my cars after my usual mechanic couldn't figure out the issue, Kahler's diagnosed and fixed it without a hitch. I was so impressed with their expertise and professionalism that I didn't hesitate to bring in my second vehicle as well. Both times, the service was outstanding. The team is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and clearly passionate about what they do. It's rare to find a shop where you feel this confident and taken care of. I'm beyond satisfied and will absolutely continue bringing my vehicles here. Highly recommended! read more

Kahler's German Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Dublin, California

We have been taking our VW and BMW here for over 10 years. We were referred to by a friend that would have his Porsche serviced here. I thought that I was going to update my last review, when I discovered that I never wrote a review. Apologies to Kahler's. We were referred to by a friend that has his Porsche serviced here. Basically, I trust them. They are honest, provide professional service, take the time to explain the problems/diagnostics, and do a great job with scheduling appointments. I understand that sometimes there is a wait, but I would much rather wait a few days for an appointment than go somewhere that might not do the caliber of work that the Kahler's staff does time and time again. read more

Found my new mechanic for my Panamera. Great local shop, wonderful people and experience as a first time customer. Highly qualified mechanics with great prices - paid half of what the dealers price would be, and the job was done early. Drop off and pick up included - my new go to for all my auto service needs! read more

Always friendly but more importantly, they do a great job and always feel like they're fairly priced

Wonderful solid mechanic that takes care of my Audi! I appreciate their reliability and honesty!

Is it expensive, yeah. What can you say? They're taking care of your Porsche. That tax is real. But I will say the service is top notch, the techs are not so busy that they don't have time to talk to you and when I picked up my car, it was certainly good for my ego for them to tell me that if they were going to buy a 911 it would be pretty dang similar to my car. They also diagnosed and fixed an issue with my son's VW GLI that had cost me $2500 in unnecessary parts replacement at other places and got that done for 1/4 that cost so it seems like their diagnostic skills are top notch also. The most expensive repair is pretty much the one you don't actually need. read more

I have a 2004 Boxster S 6-speed that had gear engagement problems for some time. I took it to a dealership to rebuild but after 3 months of excuses and problems they told me they could not rebuild it. I took it to Kahlers and talked to Sanders, a great guy! After a few of weeks he had fixed it. Thanks Kahlers, it shifts and runs beautifully. I have found a true real Master Mechanic! read more

Friendly people work with and Great service and excellent job done highly recommend it

Wow. Just wow! Sanders did an amazing and super professional job of helping me with a pre-purchase inspection for a 2017 Porsche Macan GTS. The deal came together at the last minute and I was driving into Dublin on Monday from out of area for 3.5 hours to look at the car and get it inspected. I called him on the Friday before, in the afternoon, and explained the situation to him - I really wanted him to inspect the car because he has 21+ years experience as a Porsche technical pro. He said that he was absolutely swamped and would be unable to help out. He then paused and looked at his schedule. Then he looked again. Then he spent several minutes seeing if he could shuffle some of his existing clients around. After spending the time to massage his workload for Monday, he felt comfortable that he could fit me in! He did an exceptionally thorough and detailed inspection with attention to all the model-specific issues that are known. I bought the car and could not be happier! Now, to be clear, he did me an amazing favor to fit me into his schedule. I would never EXPECT him to repeat that for me because it was an unusual circumstance - and I would ABSOLUTELY bring a German performance car to him knowing full well that he will do an outstanding job. Thanks again Sanders! read more

Whether it's routine maintenance or major repairs, Kahlers is my go-to shop for both of my Porsches. In addition to having top notch technical abilities, they are easy to work with and have clear communication. There's no reason to visit the dealer as long as Kahlers is around. read more

Interesting that the owner states I attacked his appearance. I double checked my update and don't see where I have done so. Being clueless is a state of mind, not of appearance. I do make it a point nowadays to post and update reviews on a timely basis. It may have been 5 years, but facts do not change. As I stated in my update, this was "long overdue". My bad. I have been a long time patron of the business--going back to Denny Kahler's days. But no more, based on my experience. read more

I have been coming to Kahler's for 15+ years. They have always been honest in what's needed v. not, and their prices are very fair for what needs to get done! These days, it's hard to trust service folks who are often in it just to sell more parts + work that isn't necessary. Unfortunately, that's the case with our local dealer. We are so grateful to Kahler's, Raul, and the team for continuing to provide the utmost in customer service and also of course, do great quality work. If you need a team to take care of your German car - Kahler's is the place to go! Thank you so much! read more

I was unhappy with Livermore Audi and decided to find a customer service oriented, professional, and honest German car mechanic for my daughters Audi TT. I wish every car shop offered the same experience! The place is spotless. Sanders and his partner are knowledgeable, very polite, and explain everything. I brought the car in this week with my daughters list of concerns. Sanders explained that the issues were related to recent body work and while he could fix the car, he thought I should go back to the auto body and have them fix it ( saving me money). In the past, the work has been excellent and I noticed less expensive than the dealer- And done correctly. Thanks Kahler's! It's so much less stressful to have a place that I can trust to keep the car running well! read more

I am very satisfied with their service. Sanders is very honest , polite and knowledgeable. Their prices are very fair and I trust his diagnosis and he fixed it so well. I am so glad that I can find a place that I can have 100 percent trust on them. Thank you for your service and working with high ethic and integrity read more

Nothing German about them. Rip-off.... is the best way I would describe this shop. My complaint isn't exactly incompetence, but the work he dis wasn't even any speciality work or high end skill. Just age old...quote more and over charge for simple routine work...like a couple of thousand dollars for vehicle service. He tries to sound sharp on the phone and in person (and generally succeeds) and that's the first sign of hoodwinking gullible customer. Stay away and look for better reasonable places to get your car serviced. read more

I left the Audi dealer after constant concerns and poor service. I work with Kahler's and have for many years now. The service, professionalism, honest consultations, and work are unmatched. I only wish they could work on my Wrangler. I recommend them 100 wholeheartedly. We are always happy with our experience with them and when work is done right it is high value. read more

Top notch shop to take your Porsche or any European cars. Sanders used to be the master mechanic at Porsche Marin who really only knows his trade! They did an excellent job replacing the clutch on my 911 turbo. I also brought my Audi S4 for regular maintenance with the same quality result. May need to schedule weeks in advance as they are extremely busy. read more

Update, I was able to fish out one of the safety belt buckles these folks had buried by removing the seat to get to the fuel pump but had to remove the entire seat bottom to get the other one out (see pictures)! Having worked in the service industry for over 30 years myself, I have learned that the reputable firms focus on providing quality service with reasonable transparent pricing while the others expend most of their energy coming up with excuses to cover up mistakes and hide behind deceptive pricing. I am certain that these folks damaged the fuel pump on a car with less than 70K miles that had started, accelerated and run flawlessly until it was taken into their shop. They also quote high prices based on a computer program and not actual effort and then knocked off a little to claim discounts (e.g., quote 4 hours even if it takes 1 hour). Ask them next time you take your car here. I am sure this shop will come up with another excuse in response. Hopefully this review will help others avoid the nightmare I had to deal with! read more

Had a PPI done here to check on a classic Porsche. Did a thorough job and price was reasonable compared to other prices in my area. Nice to know a good mechanic in Northern California! read more

Definitely my new go to shop! Started off my day headed to Manteca to check on some new property and stopped to get gas. After filling up my BMW (2002 525i) my car did not want to start whatsoever. I have some automotive knowledge but I could not figure out what was going on. Called for a tow to the nearest shop and Kahlers seemed like a good place to take my vehicle to since they specialize in German automotive. Had the car dropped off and they were nice enough to offer me a free shuttle to the mall. Got a call from the shop about an hour or so later and was told it was a failed fuel pump. They told me my options and I went ahead and approved the work. They were done in no time and fixed the issue. Car has been GREAT since! I'm glad I found this place since it's not too far from home. The customer service is excellent and the work is worth every penny. Hands down one of the best experiences in my time as far as auto and customer service goes. Thanks Kahlers! read more

I've had my Porsche serviced here a few times and do not have complaints. Of course the fees are bit higher but that is to be expected. From my personal experience I thought they were professional and helpful. read more

Brought my 911 in for front diff boot replacement. Raul was very responsive and professional. He ordered the parts the same day and had my car done in a reasonable time. Kept me updated via email which was much appreciated. Top notch service! Will definitely see him again for future needs. Kudos! read more

Great alternative to dealer service. Kahler's did a great job diagnosing and repairing my 335i xDrive. They diagnosed the same issues my dealership did, plus one more, and their prices were definitely less. They also diagnosed that I had 2 bent rims, something I didn't even know was wrong. If you own a German car, this is a great place to service it. Good prices, thorough service and friendly and helpful staff. I'll be back. read more

The customer service here is the best I've had at any auto shop. I take my 2016 bmw 340i here for everything and save 50% from what the dealeslership tries to charge. They are passionate about german cars and it shows, just take one look at the parking lot. Now that I've found these guys I wouldn't think about taking my BMW anywhere else. read more

I came here for an oil change for my Porsche Cayenne Hybrid and was satisfied with their work. I called ahead for an estimate and made an appointment. Raul was helpful and finished the job on time and no surprise cost. I waited for the job to be completed and he told me of a nice cafe across the street where I can hangout until the job was done. I recommend this place and will definitely use their services again in the future. This place is a great alternative to going to your local "stealership" I mean dealership. read more

Kahler's German Auto Repair - Front entrance and service counter. Taken while sitting at their waiting area. - Auto Repair Near Me - Dublin, California

My Audi wouldn't drive. Fairly new to the area and finding a trustworthy mechanic is no easy feat. These gentleman assessed my problem and allowed me time to decide next steps. They are helpful and thorough. Should I get another German made car they will certainly be my shop of choice. read more

I'm updating a previous review after another experience. I think integrity is the most important value in business and Kahler's demonstrated this quality by honoring promises and ensuring I was satisfied on my latest visit. They refunded the amount I complained about in my previous review. Of course quality work is also important but this has never been my complaint at this establishment. They repaired an electrical issue that I would never have been able to resolve on my own and got me back into my car in a matter of days. I'm happy with Kahler's and I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. read more

Wow! Wish I knew about them sooner. We had a Porche in the garage for 3 years without driving it. (It was on a trickle charger). They looked it over, made a couple of suggestions and for less $500 the car is back to new! Drives great!! read more

This is probably one of the few competent German shops in the bay area. My Audi S5 had a check engine light code P2019. Kahlers identified the problem and fixed it promptly. However the prices are the same as the dealerships!!! Back then it was roughly 20% less what happened??? The main difference is that a dealership will tell you to replace the whole part, but Kahlers will find the culprit and fix it, this is probably what sets them apart! Raul offers A1 service, he's a great service manager. read more

Went there yesterday to get some headlight bulbs swapped out. My first time at Kahler's. Sanders was great to work with and I am considering bringing both my Mercedes to Kahler's for service in the future. read more

My go to shop for all my car repairs and maintenance. Services for my Mercedes, quality are just like the dealerships but much cheaper and affordable. read more

First time in the Kahler's repair shop. I set an appointment for the 60 K revision of my Mercedes Benz and also requested they take a look at a front light that was not working. I paid the $1,100.oo and asked if there were any observations. They replied everything was ok and had successfully replaced my front light. Sadly, when I got home I noticed that one of the back doors had a dent and another light had stopped working. I had to travel to LA and did not have an opportunity to go back to this shop and complain. This was a very bad experience I would not like anyone to have! Over a thousand dollars paid, they fixed one light and another is now not working plus a big dent on one of the doors! read more

Top-notch, professional service providers that do what they and say what they do. I had a complex job for my 2012 C350 that took some in-depth work to fix. They were upstanding gentleman about the situation, even though it was very difficult. read more

I have been very happy with the service that I have received from Kahlers for my Mercedes 500SL over the past year. Kahlers was referred to me by a work colleague who has been taking his identical car to Kahlers for several years. The customer service that I have received (from Ash -- who does intake -- to the person who shuttles me to and from my office) has been exemplary as has been the kid glove handling that my car has received from Kahlers technicians. I trust that my car is being serviced here in a cost effective manner. Can anyone pay a car repair shop a higher compliment? read more

The best place to have your vehicle worked on. Trust me, I've tried them all. Trustworthy, talented, and fair pricing. They do everything too which is nice. Just dropped my car off to have new rims and tires put on, 4-wheel alignment, and a smog. All done and ready for me in a day! Very convenient and even has a shuttle to take you back to home/work. As good as it gets! read more

I've taken my 911 here for a bit over a year (since the factory warranty ran out) and have been pleased with the service. They have been very up front with what I need and what I don't and trust their recommendations. On top of that they charge reasonable rates (or, at least what I think is reasonable). I recently had to have the tiptronic transmission redone (oops) and they did a very good job. I don't know about their Mercedes or BMW service, but I recommend them for Porsche service. read more

Kahler's is a really friendly group of guys and a pretty good place to bring your BMW. I went there twice (one for alignment and one for a oil filter housing gasket leak fix). They provide a ride to and from local destinations which is really nice. Their prices are pretty competitive too. I only give 4 stars because when I inspected my engine after they fixed my gasket, I noticed that they didn't put back the air filter housing 100% correctly. Not a huge issue but if you're the type of owner who is anal about that stuff then make sure to inspect it after. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Despite no longer bringing our car here to be serviced I wanted to leave a parting 'thumbs up' to the shop. We had extensive, extensive work performed on our lemon of a Mercedes over several years at Kahlers (from approx 2009- to 2014). Our bills were exorbitant, however I feel that the shop always dealt with us fairly and honestly- much better than most. I especially wanted to give props to Ash (the front desk, office manager) he is the face of Kahlers and was always professional, kind and patient, even under stressful circumstances & upset clientele. ( of note: our reasons for parting ways with the shop were not indicative of the quality of repair or service received) read more

This is the go-to place for BMW maintenance after your factory and extended warranties end. Great staff, reasonable prices, and quick turnaround times. read more
